New injectors

Truck is a 99 ranger with 4.0. I have 1 bad injector and need to replace it. Considering the truck has 178k miles on it (has great compression and is in otherwise great running condition) and considering that it takes almost as much to replace 1 injector as all 6 I am thinking of doing all 6. So where is the best place to get them, what ones if any are good or bad ones to avoid adn anywhere to get them as a package deal?

I don't see why factory replacements wouldn't be the way to go.

Try Rock Auto they have a pretty good selection. I'm sure the dealership would be about the same if not more expensive

New injectors cost a butt load, when I priced them they were $60 bucks a pop, from Autozone. I wouldn't consider replacing all of them unless they were giving me trouble, but, that's because I'm poor and have a beat up Ranger to begin with.

I know it's bad cause I traced the miss to that cylinder, it has great spark, it has compression and it has zero fuel. the plug is pure white and all the other plugs are identical brownish red color.

The best route is to either buy new injectors, or get flow matched rebuilt injectors. Make sure they are flow matched and that the company includes the documentation of the flow and spray performance.
