Injector help!!

Well here's how the story goes. For about a year now my 99 7.3 F-25 has had cold start problems, typical shuttering takes awhile to get going , but when it warm up she runs strong. I have been meaning to replace the glow plugs, harness and GPR just to have all that new. This is a Cali model truck and has 180000 miles on it and I bought it used with 150000 so I dont know to much on the maintenance history .. So, now smog time rolls around and it failed because it through a P1395 code. So away I go on my project. I used the OEM replacement glow pugs and Moog relay. Fast forward to being finished I start her up and runs like crap with no power, just enough to get down the road. So off comes the covers to double check my work and do what I should of done the first time, hooked it up and checked the injectors to see if any were not pumping. Well on the drivers side the front and second to rear (I think 2 and 6?) were not pumping any oil. Would it be wise to replace them all? or just the 2 bad ones and who should I get them from and recommended sponsors that sell quality/ reasonably priced injectors?

Thanks.

At 180,000 miles I'd be looking at replacing them as a set. If you go with stage 1 reman's that's $1100 there, plus a chip with tuning for single shots would be another $500 (or less, depending). With new cups, etc you can have your truck running strong, making better power, and (possibly) a little better mileage for under $2000 assuming you do the work yourself. Have a shop replace just the 2 and you'll spend about the same.

Going through the process myself right now. Just replace all at once. Sitting at 201,000 and also replacing the cups...#7 cracked.

Guessing no mods have been done to your truck. I recommend the stock replacements.

It has (I think) the banks stinger system Banks Power | 99-03 Ford - 7.3L Power Stroke>>Stinger® System all of those components are one my truck

And a little chip/module? on the box on the drivers side below the fuse box that says Banks Ottomind

Now are those stock replacements $212+ $150 care for each injector? Or if I send mine in are they $62.00 each
