Is it time to replace the injectors?
2002 engine has 243,000 on it. It ran well when it came in for the teardown. I've searched the forum but I am getting different opinions. Some say over 200,000 the poppet nozzles are gone. Others say the injectors should last to 400,000 with proper maintenance.
Once we get the 53 IH cab on permanently it is going to be difficult to get to the injectors. Should we rebuild them, buy new, buy rebuilt or slap the ones we have back in? Is there a way to test injectors out of the engine? Who has the best price on injectors rebuilt or new?

I can not say who the cheapest is but if you are wanting stock brand new OEM injectors by Alliant then DI Performance has them for not the listed price of $289.?? but for $250.00 each. I think Riff Raff is cheaper.
Stock OEM Powerstroke injectors
edit: While I did not see anything for brand new stock injectors here, Riff Raff sells rebuilt stock OEM's for $136.??.

First off, I want some pics of this '53 project! If you have the money to throw at injectors I would just go ahead and do it. You'll get a flood of opinions when it comes to injector talk. I would upgrade them to single shots, get the tuning to run them, drive that '53 with a smile. I have a friend with almost 450k on his stock injectors and not a drop of any kind of fuel additive. They are tired sure, but it's still pretty strong with no overly negative symptoms. Just an example. If you have no idea on how it lived its life in those 200k miles who knows. You'll have to do some tests to get a basic idea of what kind of shape their in. Can you start it?

Rosewood or Farmer... they're the only ones to have the reputation of making the injectors better than new.

This would be the most economical way to go.
If you are looking for a more performance orientated injector you could use those as cores. A set of stage 1s are only like $100 more than rebuilt stockers.
Apparently not everyone sees a mpg gain but I'm 2 for 2 on a nice jump in mpg.
Good luck and let's see this project plz

Looking at this from a lawyer's perspective: "Reputation" means hearsay. I have no direct experience, but because the two names are mentioned... it's now worthy of at least a forum/internet search. I wouldn't go out and rattle off my credit card numbers on the phone just because one guy on a forum said "XYZ company has a great reputation"... and I hope the readers don't either.
