DZL injectors?
Hey all, new truck I bought has this sticker on the back. I did a search for DZL and all I come up with is a webpage for DZLjims.... but can't even find a link to info about injectors there. Does anyone know about the company? any good? The truck also has a banks sidewinder kit and water/meth injection.

DZL Jim builds injectors for the 7.3 strokes. Rosewood Diesel Shop is his business. I don't know if he builds injectors for our trucks, but he is highly thought of over in the OBS stroke forum.

Thanks. I have Googled and Googled and dzljims is all I come up with as well. I'm going to have to look it over a little more or contact the previouse owner and see if I can dig some more info up.
I just bought this one about a week ago now. Sight unseen. I am working out of state and just told my wife to go pick it up!
It's a 1986 with a 7.3 out of a '93. Picked it up for $4500, which I think is a steal! I haven't even gotten to see it in person yet.... Next Tuesday!!

Sweet truck.
If its a 6.9 he is better off anyway. I still want a 87 6.9 maybe i'll find one someday.

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty excited about it. The engine "supposedly" only has 60k on it.... and the PO said that he had over 20k in to the truck.... seems like a lot, but between all the interior work, lift, tires/wheels, paint, etc stuff does add up. Especially if you're paying someone else to do it!
Nope, not 100%. Like i said, I haven't even gotten to see it yet!
Thanks. I actually have one of those as well 
Not near as nice of shape, but it's been a great truck. Will probably get used a little less now. Hunting, firewood and dump runs....
Only picture I have of it uploaded.

I notice it has a serp belt setup and what looks to be a 3G alternator. Seems like the PO really invested some time and money into it, hard telling what its got. Definitely a nice truck, wheels are a little big, but a nice truck. I really like the color on it.

Might ask the PO. I assume since it is a diesel shop that perhaps they ordered injectors through them or had some rebuilt, and they sent the stickers with the order, or they were asked for. Just a possibility.

All I can say about this truck is add a custom bumper with winch and a toolbox and this is my dream truck
I have also been thinking about swapping the trans between the two. Put the 4spd out of the blue one in the black truck and the zf in the blue one.... decisions decisions.... I guess I should at least drive it first
