I an swapping the intake on the 6.0L and since I have the injectors and rails off I was wondering what I could clean the rails and injectors with before I put them back on the motor. They have been sitting for a little while and I just want to make sure that there's no varnish or water in them. Any areosol cleaner that is safe to use?

Not much you can do for the injectors unless you send them off to be cleaned IMO. Otherwise leave them alone. You plug up the pintle holes and your screwed. Now you can flush the rails just fine. But the only proper way to clean the injectors is to have them put on a machine and fluid is forced through them in both directions. Now once the injectors are on the truck you can run some cleaner, SeaFoam or the like.

GM makes a great top engine cleaner you can get it at any dealership for about 12 bucks. Its easier to just run it with a full tank of gas, the stuff is very strong so make sure the tank is full.

BG 44K is supposed to be good.

is that the stuff that you connect you fuel line to?

or the stuff you put in the tank?

Mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with gasoline, disable fuel pump, apply thru test port at 60 psi, let truck run off of the TEC and gas mix for 15 minutes while revving the engine.

there is a pressurized can that has injector cleaner in it allready, it coes with a hose and fitting also I beleive, I think its made by Kleenflo.

That GM TEC stuff is really agressive, i wouldnt put it in my tank personaly.

just get the top engine cleaner works very well with a full tank comes in a blueish bottle should be around 12 bucks dump it in with a full tank of gas it will clean all of it.

The stuff that hog is talking about works very well its just you have to have a pressurized system to use it, dont put that in the gas tank.
