well first you have to take the old injectors out and take them to a fuel shop and have the nozzles pop and flow tested or the truck will run like crap, then once that gets done it should take about 2 hours if you have any mechanical know how...number 6 can be a bit of a bitch though

My first time took an hour and fortyfive minits just for removal and install! Pretty simple and strait forward.
And as for number 6 cylender it is a big pain! I got a cheap wrench and cut it down. Worked great!

Can't offer any help on the nozzle swap, good luck.

My truck came with the 275rv injectors and works great. My boy want to upgrade his stock injectors. I am unclear of the differance in changing injectors and Nozzles. and do both need to be pop tested, this is all confusing Thanks Ed

If you buy full injectors they are usually always pop tested and ready to install. When you buy nozzles you have to install them into your stock injector bodies and then have a shop pop test them. I usually recommend just buying full injectors. There are different size injectors and nozzles. The RV275's will usually add around 40hp more than stock injectors.
