When I replaced my injectors, I used this:
Amazon.com: OTC 5060 Detroit Diesel Injector Socket: Automotive
Yeah, it's a little on the spendy side but I didn't want to risk buggaring up my new injectors -- or messing up my cores, for that matter. It's a really nice tool because you can put...
I never tried "cleaning" mine. I went straight for rebuilt. It's kind of a pain to take out the injectors and bleed the steel lines so I decided that if I was taking them out, then I was going to put rebuilt in. Also the rebuilt ones were only around $150 or so.
Note that apart from carbon...
I would advise that you approach the diagrams as a bit of a skeptic. You don't know if any other bubba-the-electrician wiring was done in there. Most likely the diagrams match your vehicle 98% but it's that questionalble 2% that could be harboring your issue.

Just put on a set of 33x12.5R15's and be done. I'm running BF Goodrich All Terrain/TA's in that size on my M1009 and there are no clearance issues.
Also there are a lot of threads out there on lift. I recall one where a guy used a 2" lift kit from Rough Country, so there is such a thing as...
I would take off the flywheel inspection cover and see what's going on with the starter gear and the flexplate ring gear. IIRC, it's held on with 6 bolts so it's not too difficult to take off (can be kind of a PITA to get around the steel lines for the transmission, though). Probably goes...
Changing that mechanical lift pump is a real pain in the rear. I believe there's a troubleshooting procedure in the TM to check if it's working. Something about catching the fuel over a specified amount of time and measuring the quantity.
Note if the diaphram inside the pump is shot, you may...
