They told me they had to inspect and tighten lugs etc before I could have her. You will be a proud parent when she turns 10 believe me I know from experience.

Steve you don't so much need injector as programming for your 6.4. The great thing about common rail injection is it much like a hose with a sprayer on the end. The hose is the rail and the sprayer is the injector. The longer you hold it open the more fuel you inject. then you just need to be able to keep fuel pressure up as the nozzle is open. At the most common rail injectors get nozzle upgrades but thats about all you need. thats why the Duramax can get 500hp with just tuning and intake and exhuast.

My 12 year old girl just turned 76K miles. She still looks as good as the day I got her in 98. Every time I take her out of town, or drive it to work on rare occasions I get offers for her but no way. She's a keeper!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And I've stopped waiting for someone to make a rear door mod for the SuperCab.

Dude, why dont we start up a diesel performance shop. I mean with your smarts and my good looks, we'll be the best of both worlds hahaha.

I know little about the common rail injection but i have talked with Elite and they said the same thing basically, upgraded nozzle ends to allow more fuel to flow, less backflow somethin or other. You get the picture
