Since my engine is pulled with bad plugs.??

Since Ford had to pull my engine to get the plugs out (7of8 snapped off) should I get new fuel enjectors put in when they put it back together? I just got thinking about that and dont know a ton about them, other then I run cleaner every 3k, but I mean it wouldnt hurt in my eyes.

Anything else I should have done? All the fluids would be changed I would think, even tho I just did a tranny flush, filter change last week and oil 2 weeks ago....

Anything people would recommend(knowledgable to this subject)recommend I would appreciate it. Hopefully getting it back tomorrow night, said 20hrs to take it out etc.

Thanks.

Did you break the plugs or the dealership? I would check about the injectors because some have been sticking open on that year.

Ya I dont get it. I didnt think you had to pull the engine to get broke plugs out, they said they had to go pickup the TSB tool etc and used that on 1 to get it out safely, so why couldnt they do that with the other 6... 1 did come out safely.

I thought with that tool it was like pretty certain to get it all out and be good.?

The injector problem was mainly on the '05's. EVERYTHING else seemed to happen on the '04's, but not the injectors. How many miles on the truck/engine? That would determine what else I might want to get done.

88,800 on the truck. I just did an oil change, tranny fluid flush, tranny filter replacement, have a CAI so the filter is good, had the radiator flushed/filled last november, and bout the only thing I could think still needed done before 90k was plugs and maybe injectors....

If I remember right, some just pull the metal sleeve off and they can get the tool inside it. Others snap the porcelain off and that's when you're effed. I think.
