First I have to ask what makes him think the injector is "bad". Whats it doing to lead you to a bad injector?

120k miles and a bad injector?

I'm with Joe, what's going on with the truck that you think one injector is bad?

i don't know much about fords, but my work truck is a 7.3 and it did this, was the injector harness. something else to look at instead of throwing away good parts

Ya, with that low of miles, I would be looking towards the uvch... Might do a compression test also to make sure.

Need to run a Cylinder contribution test, watch the rotational values... Buzz test...

Once you get that done then if that points you in a direction go from there.

If nothing definitive then start looking at a compression test and a leak down test.

I just talked to him and he said some one did a buzz test and it was weak or something so idk but I did tell him about the uvch and he wants to check but is it worth it to look if he has already done the buzz test

Weak buzz could be a wire harness issue, could be an IDM issue... Does not mean the injector is bad.
