Yea it can be fixed they will stick because either the poppet valve has to much wear or a piece of debris got lodge in it. it only take .009'' size piece of debris to make it stick. But if you swap the tips to 100hp you need to send it off to get the correct pop pressure.

Ok I've got an update, I put the dye in and changed the injectors and found the dye in my coolant and oil. It sounds like my head gasket is bad, or worse the head cracked! hoping its just the gasket!

Proably just a head gasket unless you run your truck realy hot, if you pull it off make sure its not warped. But what did you put the die in?

well you can get a compression test done to see which cylinder it is but guess its the head gasket

You can have a coolant pressure test done to see if you have a bad head gasket( or the oil cooler but then their would be oil in your coolant) the compression test can Issolate which cylinder is leaking.. I should have wrote more yesterday, got lazy on ya..
