Figured I'd post this for anyone who may end up having this issue...
Damn this makes me want to pull out my DME and check my MOSFET's before buying injectors. I just don't have any soddering skills hahaha...fml
I'm having a local TV repair place replace all 6 of the for $45.
Can't beat the PITA it might be for $45.
Exactly my thoughts, and I don't have to go buying a hot air soldering station just for this...
You'd be surprised the things that hot air station comes in handy for once you have it. Softening adhesive on random things, phone screen replacement, making what little soldering I do have to do a breeze...

I may still get one eventually. The one on adafruit has good reviews. Which one do you have?
I got one that looks like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013..._SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=soldering+station back in 2013 and it's been pretty good, uses standard heat elements and came with extras back then, they all still work. I think I chose it for the free shipping lol, not sure how it compares to others but it blows my radio shack irons (gas and electric) and my electric heat gun out of the water.
Well I read recently that the MSD81 DME's don't run into the MOSFET issues that the MSD80 has? If that's true, great I don't have to worry about pesky MOSFET's. But now I really do have to buy injectors
Dropped off the DME at the local TV repair place today... downside is that they tried to change it to $125 instead of the $45 originally quoted on the phone. I got him down to $100 though. Probably going to order a hot air station and do some practicing so I can do them for fellow locals.
My soldering/desoldering skills suck. I know this because I used to own a computer repair shop and I always struggled with DC jacks.
