Default Can you get injectors Cleaned?

I have a 2004 6.0 f350 104000 truck was running fine,but changed oil and fuel filters and it started to run really bad so I took it to the shop and they said #1 and #4 cylinders are weak(-30 and -35) it showed on the computer at the shop they had it hooked up to.So is their anything I can do,or can I run something threw it.
Thanks

Hot Shot's Secret

best stuff ive found. Got two of my injectors workin again, and if it doesnt they refund your money. Its probably stication. Do you keep up with the mant. on this truck. The 6.0s are very picky.

^^^^^^^ What he said.

Keep the oil changed - the injection system likes clean oil!

Thats a pretty long interval inbetween oil changes. I never go more 5000. The 6.0 isnt like the old diesel, there very picky with their oil. You also might wanna try running a lighter oil, 10/40. I run 15/40 mystic JT-8 without problems but some people say to run lighter, especially in colder climates. Just click on the link and itll take you to theire site.

I would try the hot shot. If doesnt work, they refund your money, so why not. Its worth a shot to try and keep from replacing inj.
