How difficult is it to remove and reinstall injectors on a 2008? I have never touched one of the engine....I did an injectors swap on my old '93 First Gen but I hear these things are completely different! The '93 was a piece of cake.

Reason for needing to do this is to spin a motor over that has possibly injested water (flood). I imagine there is no other way of verifying there no water in the cylinders besides popping the injectors and spinning the motor over?

 

not too bad. its a bit more work though. most important thing is that you keep them in order and that they go back into the same cylinder they came from

 

i believe they are coded for each cylinder, not 100% sure though, engine wont even fire if they arnt in the right place

 

Yeah, I read about the necessity of reinstalling them in the same cylinders where they were removed.

Are any special tools needed?

 

they are about the same as doing injectors on a 5.9. heres a link to ddp's site for injector r&r on a 5.9 cummins.

Injectors are coded and if changed will require inputing correct code into PCM. This is a calibration code for every injector and tells computer exactly how much fuel is coming out of injector. If not entered will effect engine operation and will set a DTC.
