Default Injector

After searching this forum I think I may have a bad injector. My oil is above the safe mark and my mpg is rather low. I was wondering what the cheapest injector I could get is, and is it something I could do myself? I hope its just one.

do you already know which one is bad and if your going to do just one oem would be best and if you have to one is alright but why not all six and be done with it and how many miles on your rig and have you done anything to it or is it stock still

Its a 2006 with 98000 on it. It has a Banks High ram, a banks monster exhaust and a bullydog CAI. I just signed the papers on the truck wed. so this is really a big blow to me.

Would you call a Banks high ram and cold air intake a power adder? And to arizona I dont know for sure which one it is. I just know my oil is up above the safe mark and my mileage really sucks.

Ok I called the dealer and the injectors are covered to 100000. I just hope the high ram and cold air intake wont hurt me. I dont have the stock parts to put back on there, because thats how I bought it. This makes me feel a whole lot better.

So is there anything else that could be causing the poor fuel mileage and the high oil level.

Would it be ok to drive this truck for about 20 miles this afternoon? I drove to work and its my only way home.
