Injectors on Ebay

How does a guy know which injector to buy off of Ebay?

Lots of options available?

Does more expensive necessarily mean better product?

Mike

Ebay is a good place for some things.
BUT injectors ??? I think you would be better off buying
from someone you KNOW will still be there tomorrow and
has history to back them up.You are gambling with Ebay
you could get a very good deal or you could get someones
junk all made up to look nice.
A pig in lipstick is still a pig.

What I am trying to say is how much is your time worth? If you
get it cheep and have to pull it out because there is a problem
in days or weeks .Do you want to ?

Injectors on ebay are a no!

Buddy of mine recently went through this when we had to replace injectors 1 & 5. Yes they're cheaper and yes, you could get them sooner, but when they break or are DOA, you're stuck.

Get them from Clay at Riffraff or another Vendor on FTE, this way if you have a problem, you're covered.

Sorry to hear....something about ebay I have never liked for stuff like this. I bought a ICP sensor a few years ago. The unit was plain wrapped but a FORD product and the seller claimed NEW. I received it and said to myself WTF!!!!! It was dirty and full of oil as if it came off an engine before he shipped it to me. Granted, it may have been tested but I still thought WTF!?!?! I installed it and it worked but I was pretty disappointed that I got a used or what appeared to be used when it claimed to be BRAND NEW.

BTW Riff Raff is top notch

yeah.... a chat forum is a small midwestern town, and all you
have to do is hose ONE person, and it's all over town.

everyone i've found online in the 6.0 "rehab" industry has been
excellent to deal with, except this poop i bought six oil filters
from a month ago, who hasn't shipped, hasn't emailed, etc.
shoulda bought from dieselfiltersonline.... you guys all recommend
them.... duh.

bank reversal on his merchant account today, if i don't hear
from him. if that happens often, and it's the kiss of death to
an online merchant. they cancel your merchant account.
it's pretty much a last resort for me, but when it's the only
choice left....

for a spiffy stainless grill for the truck, not a big deal....
for something that takes eight hours to get your fingers on, nopes....

people are funny tho.... there is a 4WD van forum that has
bunches of people with 6.0L vans, and they take them pretty
far off road, and with two hours of 4WD low range, i can get a truck
to a place where if the engine stops, you need a chinook and two slings
for a tow....

i can't imagine taking this deep offroad without some diagnostic tools,
hand tools, and a spare FICM tucked in the toolbox. i got a husky 250
stuck with a dead ignition at the bottom of rattlesnake canyon on the
kearn plateau, and it took 9 hours to get it up 300 yards of trail, and
i was lucky. if it had quit at the very bottom of the trail, the only way
to get it out would have been a helicopter and a strap.... or take it
apart and bring out the pieces one by one.

oops.... sidetracked again......
