05 question : nozzles or injectors?

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

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.
