I just bought an 05 and I have heard that some of these trucks have injector issues. The engine is stock. Would a set of nozzles correct the reliabilitly issue or do you have to do a complete injector swap? I would be putting a set of 50 HP nozzles/injectors if I did anything just for reliability and mileage.
Truck has 5" turbo back and a K&N cold air system on it with outer prefilter

No you can just do nozzles. Filtration is SUPER important. Get a 2 micron filter and your injectors will be happy.

To me it would be a toss up. thats the mileage range a lot of injectors seem to start acting up at. if you have the money it would be good piece of mind to replace the injectors. if youre not having any problems now you could do a set of nozzles and just give the injectors a good inspection while theyre out

There are several way to test injectors. Check your oil level, smell the oil, and listen for a tick in the exhauset. But if it were me, I'd just look into a small tuner with timing, no pressure. But as far as making them reliable, filtration and no pressure seem to be the winning combo.

If the injector fails it is generally not the nozzle, but the injctor body (unless you crack the nozzle)..

Filtration is the best thing to keep them alive.

I heard recently from a reputable injector shop that it's risky to just install nozzles and not have the injectors tested. Apparently a lot of injectors have problems and the result doesn't work well. He said it's usually fuel quality that does them in. Duramaxes are worse.

what all options are there for getting a 2 micron filter? I dont have $2K for a set of injectors right now.
What are the signs that an injector is begining to go?
Truck runs like new now but I would like to be aware if a symptom does show its ugly face

Take a look at the GDP link in my sig, pretty much the best filtration you can get.

That filter setup looks pretty good.
