Injector Replacement?

Hey fellas, I have the vc's off my 7.3, have 165,000 miles on it. I'm doin the fifty cent while I'm in there, and I ohmed out the pins on the harness for each injector at around 3 ohms. I'm wondering if I should replace the injectors while I'm in there. I also noticed the rear injector is a different color than the rest. What's up with that? Would you change them out, and where should I go for stock injectors?

If you have the availability of it being down you could send them to be flow tested and cleaned or possibly rebuilt. I would not just change them personally unless you just wanted to do it, they're a little pricey to just replace because. The rear most on the driver's side could be a LL/AE(Long Lead) injector as it was a cure for "cackle" complaints, and offers a slightly larger pilot shot than the others.

Here's where I go for injectors, Clay also offers New stock replacements.

The ohm readings are fine. Is there any reason you think you need to replace them, or is it just from mileage?

If its running fine leave it. They can run a long long time. If you want more power like stage 1's ect., go for it. They are not spark plugs.

I'm not looking for any additional power, just hate taking my truck down and figured I might give it a shot since I've got access to them. I guess if it ain't broke a won't fix it on this one...
