This is the ****ty UDP injectors that came in my sweetheart’s ‘new’ truck after a cold start. They told the previous owner to pound sand after reluctantly sending him one replacement that did not solve the problems.

I bought some rebuilt injectors from a reputable shop at the time and the truck ran worse than with the ones I pulled out. A year later, I was fed up and bought a set of new Alliants. I didn't install the special #8 injector and yes I have an idle knock unless I run some 2 cycle oil in the mix, but now it starts with a nice brisk romp and idles perfectly. Pulls strong.
Too many things get passed off as "good enough" in the rebuild world and I grew weary of dealing with other people's laziness when I had to stand behind their work at my expense. It's not just injectors, but whole transmissions, etc.

Thanks for the first hand experience. Ive found one or two similar reviews recently which makes me not want to choose them.

I was mostly just curious if anyone had used them as they are one of the two builders on the 1023 site. I haven't heard anything good about full force lately and wasn't even going to try them with all the bad injector stories lately. 1023 is local to me and I already run their tuning which made me think possibly unlimited diesel would be a good one. I thought maybe they thought their products were so good that they would cover them for life. Im aware of the crappy products with the lifetime warranty and don't want any of those either. So sounds like possibly Rosewood is the best. Any other injectors out there that aren't crappy lately? Sounds like ill have to buy injectors and then request custom tunes......

Several members have been very happy with Bitterroot Diesel injectors

Corey at cncfab is in the process of starting high quality injector builds.

I was going to ask about them also. I wish 1023 had different options. They want $300 for tuning if you don't buy the injectors through them.

The other option would be to just go with a good fresh set of stock injectors and use your existing tunes

I would consider better tuning anyway.

AA would be cheaper and much better tunes.

Are you not a fan of 1023 tuning? Ive never heard of AA before. I have to have custom tuning with my current transmission anyway. It shifts to hard and they had to detune it a little for not so neck braking shifts.

Not a fan...

Also not a fan of trans builders who do that.
