I have ran the 210 tune for over 8,000 miles and just had a couple injectors fail. Anyone else have a problem with theirs?
I change fuel filters @ 10-12 thousand miles. Still using 1128 so I need to update.
Had one other injector fail before I tuned it.
Wondering if the tuning is hard on the injectors like the Edge tuning on my 04.5 5.9 truck, or did I get a bad batch?
Service manager says injectors havent been a problem on these trucks.
Starting to add the power service additive religiously instead of occasionally.
Thanks.

Seems like you answered your own question if you had one fail before the tuner...

FSA 07T07: Certain trucks built at the Kentucky plant between 4-3-07 and 5-21-07 have three injectors that may have had their polarity reversed. Applicable trucks will have injectors replaced on cylinders 1,5 and 7.
I went to check this out the other day and discovered that mine had theirs replaced at 9 miles. Took some searching, one of the techs had to do it. Would have been nice to know it before I bought the truck, instead I find out at 24,000 miles. I think I read somewhere it was around 1400 trucks. Don't know if this is correct or not. I could be way off...I would tell your guy to read more.

thats very true. i was one of the first to own an 08, and i had mine for two weeks before those three failed. i also had another friend of mine who had the same thing happen so it might ba as simple as that for you.

Thanks, for the input.
My truck was built second week of December 07.
Truck is running good, so I will throw the pipe back on and tune.
Cant stand to drive it without it on.
