(I would do it myself).As for the fuel injectors, they don't just normally go bad and I wouldn't count them as a preventative maintenance item.  One thing I would say, (assuming the ones you got from Advance are actual factory injectors).  Is remove yours and send them out to be cleaned and flow tested and then have them as a spare set still.  But when it comes down to it, dump some seafoam in the tank once a year and don't worry about it.  These trucks all run 87-93 so the likelihood of an injector backing up is not likely.  If the truck was ran on nothing but E85, then I would say swap them and have your originals cleaned.  TLDR version,  keep the new injectors in case yours need changed.</blockquote>
