#5 Injector failed, Future Prevention?

Dealer called and My #5 Injector had an internal failure. Rough Idle and White smoke on occasion. Oil dip stick did not rise. Sent off an oil sample today to test for Fuel. I have run this truck hard it's whole 20,000 mile life and faithfully used a lubricity additive ( Powerservice the first 10,000, Opti Lube ever since).

After it gets replaced thursday, DO I just drive it like normal??? Anything I should change?

mite look into finer filtration for the fuel, 2 - 5 micron range seems to be one thing that keeps getting suggested. either a drop in filter for stock location, or a supply based unit, frame mounted..........

I am running a 5 micron these last 7500 miles or so. Thanks for the suggestion!

I second better filtration.
At least run a Baldwin 5 micron drop in.
