I plan on keep mine for a bit it only has 31000
2004s are good to go, Ford changed injector suppliers for the '05s to try to save a buck.

Hey Quintin,

What is the special tool that's needed to remove the fuel line from the fuel rail? At one point, I was going to change the injectors on my truck, but I couldn't get that coupler to come apart. Is it available at local auto part stores, or it is specific to Ford dealerships??

Blown Engine update

Thanks for all the info guys. Right now, I'm awaiting word form the dealer as to what codes they came up with upon initial investigation. They don't seem to be too forthcoming with this information. I am almost 1005 convinced this is an injector problem and my vehicle is covered under the new warranty extension.

I'm just going to have to work on 'em a bit to get them to admit (assuming its true) that this problem is a result of bad injectors.

I'll update you later in the day as to what happens.
