Swamps Injectors

Is any one running swamp injectors. I have their split shot stage 1's and my excursion makes more noise and my milage around town sucks. On the highway it gets around 17 but in town it only gets 11.5. Is this normal. When taking off at stop lights it sounds like it is skipping or missing. Is there some why I can check to make sure that the injectors are preforming correctly.

How long have you been running them? Has it done this from day one?


That mileage sucks. I have the equivalent of stage 4 injectors and I get 14.5-15.5 around town and 17.9-18.1mph on the highway. On 35's mind you.

First off, I would call and talked to Jonathan or Dave about it.

You could run a cylinder contribution test and a buzz test to see if everything tests out good. You need either Auto Enginuity or another type of scan/test tool for this.

Yes they can. Is there a local diesel shop in town? They will probably be cheaper and maybe know more about injectors.

Hey, White Buffalo I saw on another post you say Royal Purple is a waste of money. That is what I am using. Do you think if I change back to rotella-t it will get better.
