So after it being checked out= Bad injector in cylinder # 3. Compression is good (think he said 180) so don't think we bent a rod. Now what to do about the injectors. Do I replace them with stock from ford or a local place D&W Diesel (alliance re manufactured) with one year warranty or with Dynamite Diesel 50 hp new injectors. Was thinking about a regulated return. Would appreciate everybody's input to help me make a decision. The shop is removing all injectors. The guys at dynamite diesel said they can test my injectors and give me an idea why the one might have failed and what shape the other ones are in. Thanks for the input.

got a price from Auto nation. Just wondering if anyone has used these guys injectors. They claim the get them new from manufacturer that ford does. Also tested so they all are flowing the same? What about the regulated return lines?

Will ask him about compression tomorrow. He said it was almost the same as cylinder 1 so thought is was good.

My vote would be stock injectors and stock fuel system with the blue spring upgrade and a mild tune.

I was under the impression that the regulated return lines were only needed when your trying to make big hp. If you go with oversize injectors you would need a tune to make it run correctly.

OK my bad compression was 375 cylinder 1 and 380 cylinder 3. #3 was the one with the bad injector. Gonna order new ones from Ford Auto Nation. They gave me a great price last week $203 per injector. I'm surprised there isn't much to say about after market injectors. I would like to put bigger ones but afraid of reliability issues.

I can get Motorcraft injectors locally for $225
