Yeah, Ryan its simple, i will say, on the pass side you may have to loosen the trans filler tube to give you more room to get the valve cover off and back on. also don't forget to check the glow plug relay too.

I can get mine out without disconnecting anything but the dipstick tube (obviously) on the pass side.

if I can recall correctly, the drivers side is just a matter of taking off the intake and bracket for it.

i got mine off without removing the transfiller tube but it was a pain in the butt. but it casn be done. my 95 7.3 did the same thing and it turned out to be bad injector o rings. if your burning any oil thats a good place to start. i got them for $53 on ebay. there farely easy to replace providing you have the right tools and knowhow. injectors are VERY FRAGILE!!! learned that the hard way. hope it helps.
