Buying Injectors

[freebass]

Ford has Diagnosed that 2,6 & 7 are failing on the contribution test and time to head home and change them out. Im looking for input on what you D-Heads think would be the best option on type to use in the type of work I use it for. Pulling 15,000# trailers around the country, Looking at 125,000 miles + this year.
I know that changing them all would be best, but thats not gonna happen. At least not until my bank acount turns from a serious color red back at the least to a fading yellow.

D-Heads? If you are not going to change them all out how are you going to consider anything other that a stock type injector?

I don't know that I would consider that. I do know there are many types and brands of the stock injector. What I am looking for is who to trust and who not to. I know exactly what I would like to use and hope to eventually. But for the here and now, what will work best to get me to that point is what I am trying to make work.
Thanks to this site I am moving forward since taking on this job and diesel conversion from gas back in March. I have put 106,0000 miles on this truck and had repairs done at 4 different Ford dealerships from Colorado to New Hampshire when EGR, Oil cooler issues made me no longer mobile at a cost exceeding $10,000. Each Ford dealership blamed the one before for not fixing the actual issue, None ever did. I refuse to lose!

A. I'm hoping you now have the egr delete done?
B. There's many reputable rebuilders of injectors. My personal preference, and close to home, is Oregon Fuel Injection. Diesel injector pump, injectors, Powerstroke injectors, turbo and turbo parts for Ford Powerstroke Diesel pickups 6.9 L, 7.3 L, 6.0 L 6.4 L
C. Obviously stay with stock injectors if just replacing 3 of them. And that will commit you to staying with the stock ones.....I can't see tossing out 3 fairly new ones next year if you decide to try different injectors!
D. For what you are doing....(I assume the Hotshot thing)....when the bank account turns black, I'd invest heavily in getting the heads pulled and checked, studs installed, conversion to an ELC coolant, coolant filter and an oil bypass filter.

This is a LOT cheaper to do it yourself if you have the ability. The $10,000 you spent at the dealer was robbery. For far less than half that, you can do all the above in your own garage. If it was me, I'd swap out the 3 injectors right now. Then in about 8 months I'd pull the whole motor, do all the above as well as new rods and mains, seals, oil pump, water pump, the BPD oil cooler/filter kit eliminating the factory one, do the other injectors, all the updates such as turbo supply and drain, blue spring kit, new standpipes and dummy plugs,all hoses. Check the HPOP before digging in...if it's looking like the pressure is getting close to borderline, plan on doing that as well. Then you should be good for a zillion miles.

Note: If the aforementioned Ford dealerships blamed the dealerships for not fixing things correctly, I would use that report in writing to demand a refund. They do warranty the work they do to some extent.....I would push hard...very hard on that one.
