Hello all you Blue Blooded Ford Fans. I am too.
I have a friend, who is disabled,(non military) who is on SSI, 1k a mth. He is driving a 96 f350 4 dr, 4x2, and it has a leaking injector that runs clear when the engine is warmed up. When cold it smokes badly. Now we have been to a couple of repair shops, I have looked on ebay for info. and there is not a tutorial on r/r an injector. but from what I have seen it is a simple unbolt. I watched the cups replaced, but I am not sure if that is necessary. He wantsa to sell it for another more economical truck. He has one arm, and finds a extened cab or 4 dr to be convenient. I would like to help him, but am lacking enough info. to do this. He is in the Hospital , just had his 3rd surgery in a year on his back. If anyone can help me, or him, you may email me at [email protected]. Thank you.

Can you be specific about the O rings? his glowplugs are bad, he has a new set, I dont know if they are a simple r/r. any detailed help is very welcome.. I think 1 injector is leaking the pressure down into the cylinder, then burns it off when it gets hot.. what do you think? and, how can I find the bad injector?
