Arrow follow up to previous situation

I had the 96 Ford E350 that i had to give a shot of starting fluid to in order for it to start. Well, got it to the shop and after almost $5000. later, it runs great. (it had better) Turns out that she needed 2 injectors replaced. Now if you have been here before then you know that difficult descion that has to be made. Do you replace all 8 since they are there or do you take a chance and just go with the 2?? And ofcourse there $300. each! So we went with all 8. yikes!! I was going to have them do the ball joints but they wanted $650. to do it. I'll just wait thank you. Does this seem like a very high price to pay?? Oh yeah, they did replace the blower motor. The next thing is the speedometer. It jumps around alot (the needle) and they are saying that its anoth $550. or so because they cannot be fixed, only replaced. Any thoughts on this??

Thanks for all of the information in the past guys and girls, I do appreciate it.

Wow 3 bills for an injector you could have bought very reputable performance injectors for about $900,all 8, from Swamps performance.

I think a lot of that work they are saying that needs to be done you can do yourself. The parts will probably cost less than $100 and the rest is labor.

As far as the work and parts, are we talking about the ball joints?
The cost I guess is mostly for getting in that far and testing things along the way to eliminate stuff and then putting it all back together.
