'87 6.9

What do you guys think about the Delphi refurbished injectors. Would I be asking for trouble & get new ones or would these refurbished would be just as good. Also, what about the injector pumps? Refurbished vs new for the price. Thanks, Tony,

Personally I would try to pay the difference and go new, and matched if possible.

x2 on what star said, refurb will do fine, plenty do it because new is a lot more expensive than refurb...

Lots have done the job more than once too, because of rebuilt. If I went with rebuilt I would find a place to pop test them, before I installed them. There is nothing like working a few hours then having to do it all over again, before you can leave the driveway.

Even new and pop tested injectors can be bad. It happened to me.

im running reman Delphi BB codes i scored from U-haul before they sold out.i just put 'em in and they cured what ailed 'er.let's see.......(checking records) pretty much 20k miles on them today.problem free so far.
im not saying thats the best route.the price was so good,i was out little if i had to replace a few.
as for the ip,you can only get those reman anyway.even if you found a NOS on like ebay or something,not sure id trust it just due to age lol (that would be something more for the shelf in the garage for nostalgia imho.)
running reman injectors is certainly better than running old shot injectors.just be prepared is all.don't, not change them if remans are all you can afford is what im saying i guess.

I found a new seller on eBay the other day, can't remember the eBay user name but I'll check and post back with it, that is selling remanufactured International and Detroit Diesel injectors. It is a diesel shop but I just can't remember the name. But anyway they were selling remanufactured delphi and stanadynes for the IDI's. They described their remanufacturing process which included, cleaning, replacing worn parts, testing the spray pattern, a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now, pop testing, then matching a set of 8. I got a set of BB codes from them for 160 bucks shipped. If they actually do everything in the process that they claim, then hopefully it will a really good injector for the price. If not then they were fairly cheap and hopefully they'll get the old truck thru the winter until lawn mowing money starts coming in again and I can get some new BB's from somebody.
