Injectors
Looking for some recommendations on where to buy fuel injectors from.
I have been fighting injector stiction since I bought the truck, the fuel mileage has dropped in the past 6 months and and it will randomly run rough and set codes for #1 injector failure. I plan on replacing the injectors on the passenger side of the engine.
I would prefer an entire kit to do one bank (injectors, glow plugs and related seals/gaskets). but most places that offer such a kit have poor reviews online.
what do you guys recommend?

what about getting injectors directly from International?
I have tried all the oil additives, they work for a while then it goes right back to running like crap. with all the all the money I have spent on oil additives, I could have bought all 8 injectors by now.

Same injectors just more expensive. They come from the same plant.

have you looked at your ficm voltage? i was having cold start issues last year and was planning on pulling my injectors and polishing the spool valves and even bought a bottle of Archoil 9100 that i was planning on dumping in this winter. well after sending my ficm to Ed for repair and having the atlas 40 tune installed all i can say is "what cold start??". i still have one injector that is sticking after a cold soak and a buzz test with the autoenginuity, and i might still pull the injectors for a minor re&re in the summer but needless to say i'm thrilled that my truck doesn't sounds like a bucket of bolts first thing in the morning.

Here is what I found (they are all for 6.0L's, but different vehicles):
1844751C2 - F-250 / F550
1845150C92 - E-series
1846692C92 - F-650/750
Sorry for the confusion!!!

Have you tried fixing the stiction? i.e. actually removing/disassembling the injector and cleaning the parts? You'd be amazed how many injectors can be fixed and run like new after doing this if you haven't tried it.

even for the interior stuff, if you've got an ultrasonic cleaner (like for reloading bullets) and can keep a clean workplace, a lot of time they just get gummed up really bad due to the stiction. The cleaner even cleans carbon soaked nozzles up pretty well too. The fuel side does occasionally fail if debris makes its way past the filters.
^^^that's been my wonder too...and to add to your list broken/deformed intensifier pistons due to them being run out of fuel (it's really hard on the DLC coating too)

Well, so much for swapping injectors in one day. 1 injector installed and new O-rings on the other 3. I decided to install new glow plugs too, while everything was apart and broke the glow plug harness in 3 pieces...
