yea i tested it. it was good. 47.6 koeo, 47.8 cranking, and like 46.8 running. Now my issue is i called up the dealer that i bought if from cause i dont have access to a scanner without taking it to a shop and paying diagnostics. But they said that injector 5,6,7, and 8 are all bad. Wouldn't that be more than enough to make the truck not run. Also if i do all 4 injectors i'm thinking about just doing all 8 of them and getting it over with since i'll be in there working on it and might as well if half are bad. but one question also would be should i keep stock size or go bigger? my only plans for this truck is 5" exhaust straight piped, maybe an intake, and do a programmer to it. that's it for performance. what would you recommend.

It had the original egr cooler, original oil cooler, all 8 original injectors, original trans etc. It's been on nothing smaller than a 37" tire it's whole life and currently resides on 40" tires, and tuned since like 6k miles.

Your low compression could be as simple as an injector hold down coming loose. It happens more than you think. Don't jump to conclusions until you yank the head off or scope it.

Im not bashin, but Im sure its more than an injector hold down because every time I drain the oil there diesel commin out. I wish my 6.0 made it that far that well haha... We also had ford check everything on the heads when we had them replace injectors they said everything ok, but the truck still missin too. One day when I can put her down I will have to REALY look into it all.

I would trust the Ford tech about as far as I can throw him. I've been through multiple dealerships, had my truck sit on the lots for months waiting for warranty work, all to end up in the same place I started. I am doing everything on my own. The best thing that ever happened to my truck was the day warranty ran out.

Fuel in the oil could be a few things. A cracked injector nozzle could do this, buildup on the injector could also be causing a poor spray pattern, thus a poor burn and excess fuel in the oil.

Have you had an oil analysis done to verify what's in it, and how much? Sure wish you were closer and I could lend you a hand and scan it myself.

Fuel in the oil could be as simple as a bad Oring on the outside of the injector, that is all that seperates the oil and fuel.

Nope nearest oil analyiser 4 hours away, I dont feel like towing my gpa back over the pass in the truck again.

Ranchand... seriously man? You can get it in the mail. You put a little bit of the oil from your engine in the supplied tube, and mail it in. It's quite simple and very inexpensive, especially if you're trying to diagnose a major issue.

Try Blackstone labs or Oil Analyzers INC.
