It's still going. I kept the new one as my spare. It's got to be 3 years or more now.

January of 2019 when I installed it and somewhere around 35,000 miles on it if not more. I’m running a sump and cat filters I checked power the other evening but honestly didn’t double check ground I will check everything tomorrow evening. I change fuel filters every other oil change So every 6,000 miles.

Wel just thought I’d let you guys know I replaced pump I checked power and ground all was good there. Tossed new pump in and all is good now check pressure with gauge back to 70psi. Guess it’s time to get a 4 pod pillar and add a fuel pressure gauge to the pillar.

Well guys Hopefully I’m close to being able to send out injectors and ordering turbo in the next month or so. Hopefully anyway but I’m trying to make my final decision on what injector and turbo setup to go with. Looking to make atleast 500 rwhp and still be daily driver friendly and still be able to tow when necessary but not a every day that I tow.

I’ve considered running 250/200 with a s369 sxe or would this be a bad combo for what I’m wanting the truck to do or?

Probably better suited to a 467 with that injector. Are you manual or automatic?

I figure either way a trip to bts will be in the future. Along with I was considering swapping to 4.10 and 33s in the future. But in all seriousness I would like to here all opinions on turbo and injector combinations.

Okay the time has finally come to be sending out injectors very soon. And I still can’t decide what turbo and injector sizing to go with. I definitely still want reliability out of the truck but I don’t plan on beating on it regularly either. Most the miles I drive are highway. So what all options would you guys consider for the 500+ horse power range. Would I be better with a s369 with 250/100 or would I be better with s467.7 and 250/200 or is the a better combo out there .

I think the Brandon on the 7.3 Garage on YouTube has 250/200 injectors and went from the 369 to a 400 frame turbo. From what I recall the 400 frame took longer to spool but he still daily drove it. Might be worth picking his brain since he has similar goals.
