leaky injectors
so my truck has been hard to start lately and this morning i noticed a significant amount of white smoke on start up im assuming this is the result of 1 or more leaky injectors, would this be correct? if so is there a specific location where they leak? what kind of shop could i take them to to have them looked at? i appreciate all the help.

The internals of the injector wear. When they do they let fuel into the cylinder at the wrong time hence the white smoke. The worn internals also bypass too much fuel on startup causing it to take longer to build rail pressure before the ECU will fire the injector.
Be bery leary of rebuilding injectors, its a crap shoot. You should be able to source genuine new stock Bosch injector for around $350 per. If your even half way handy the install is not that complicated.
Do NOT buy remans if you value your engine. Track record sucks and engine damage is high probability.

Ok last night I took out one of my injectors and cleaned
it up a bit, put it back in and let it sit overnight. Here in indiana
it got pretty chilly last night about 40 degrees I think, went to
start the truck this morning and it fired right up, didn't even
have it plugged in, would it be a good idea to go ahead and clean them all
