Anyone tell me, bout 6.7 injectors

[Sharkdaddy]

Hello,
Need help, have a 2009 2500 4x4 SXT 6.7 Mega Cab(1st year mega cab). I have a injector out, I am highly mechanically Inclined.
1. Do most of you guys change your own injectors or should I just leave it to the pros? I know it’s a time consuming project, and I was going to do or have them all changed while everything is apart.
2. Should I replace them all or just one that’s acting up?
3. One concern is I’m reading that they hv a number on them and that number has to be flashed or entered into trucks brain.
Is this correct???? If so can I install them and hv a place I put info into brain?
I am trying to figure out should I tackle this project cause it’s gonna run in the neighborhood around 2,000-3,000 I’m guessing. I found what I think are nice injectors for under 300.00 apiece. Hv no idea if hats high low or what my truck has been sitting for a while (over 6) months. Had a heart operation, and worried about other things going out due to not being run. Any help greatly appreciated Steve

You could do them yourself if your fairly mechanically inclined. There are some fairly important torque specs to follow, as well as setting valve lash.

The injectors have a code that has to be programmed in order for the ECM to compensate for that injectors flow rate.

You absolutely could do it yourself, and have a shop program the number. I would take a few pictures of the numbers and give that to the shop.

If it’s just 1 injector, I would just replace the 1, unless you’ve got crazy high mileage or money burning a hole in your pocket. Make sure you get new o-rings and the copper washer as well.
