If the combustion is getting in the fuel side on #4, it will gradually take out other injectors on that bank. The electrical portion of the injector can show ok and still have a problem in the sealing areas. Make sure they verify that the problem is fixed before releasing it to you.
 
Picked the truck up at the dealer saturday.Running good again.I learned a lot working on this myself.expensive lesson.I wrench for a living but i was just guessing at which injector was bad,I should have known better.Thanks again for the help.:)

Any time! Remember, computerized systems will just show you problems associated with electronic issues. Its always possible to have an issue with hardware that doesn't show electronicly. Thats one fault with code readers that only show codes and no data.
