How long do our injectors last? (greyish white smoke issue)
And how would I be able to tell if its an injector and not just bad fuel?
Also, if I let the engine idle a while 5 minutes or so, when I take off, there is a small cloud of a greyish white smoke...
But it clears right up and never happens under normal driving conditions...
Am I cool?

I would say it depends on the milage.It appears you are ready to step up and make a change anyway from the looks of your signiture,or you could just pull them and have them pop tested and then put them back in.

Hard to say when is a good time to replace the injectors.One truck here has a little over 500K miles with the orginal injectors.I heard to replace them after 250K miles as a PM....

Had about 170K on the injectors in my 97 when I saw that. Local shop checked my injectors and all were out of spec. Had them rebuilt and they seemed OK. Might want to have them checked before you spend a lot of time troubleshooting other potential problems or replacing them without the test.
