Stock injectors?
My truck needs an injector, I’m not able to do a set of upgraded injectors yet. Just want to replace the one definitely bad injector and get by with what I have for a year or 2. Need input on where to pick up a stock sized injector of decent quality.
I do plan on going bigger eventually but need to do some more maintenance items and figure out what I’m doing for a transmission first (hopefully 5 speed swap). Thanks for the advice.

How many miles on the injectors in the truck? In my opinion, if the injectors are high milage, if one fails the others aren't far behind. I would look for a good used one if you are planning to replace them down the road.

I just had them changed about 18 months ago, I probably only have 10k miles on them. I haven’t gotten a chance to test them however. I have a lot of smoke when cold again, a miss at idle when cold again, a tick from the passenger side head area, and my fuel mileage is down.
when I was inside that valve cover this summer everything was tight. I can’t prove it, but it sure seems like an injector crapped the bed to me. I was hoping it just bent a pushrod and that was the source of my ticking sound. All the symptoms together really make me doubt it though.

I had a local shop do them, I’m going to call Monday and see what the time and mileage warranty is on the injectors they used. I would imagine it’s only a year though, and if one already died they probably didn’t use something of the utmost quality.
So that still leaves me the question, where do I get a decent new stock injector? Are the Alliant ones pretty solid?

if only one is needed, i would do junkyard.
or call Jim at rosewood diesel. he should be able to set you up with one of his rebuilds that are just as good as new, but a whole lot less cost.

Thank you, I’ll probably go with rosewood instead of the junkyard option. At least then I’ll know it’s good. Still have to get ahold of the shop that changed them and see about a warranty also. I appreciate the help though.

Okay, I was under the impression that you knew you had a bad injector. Now it sounds like you didn't troubleshoot and make sure/ determine it's actually a bad injector.
I would call the shop that installed them and find out what they put in there if it is in fact the injector. they should hopefully have used OEM/ Alliant injectors. Also verify the warranty on them.
Ideally if it is a bad injector, it can be replaced under warranty. Otherwise, you can call Jim (Rosewood)
