Injectors

Easiest is take them in an injection service to be tested.
Pop pressure, spray pattern and no leaking off at pressure below pop pressure is what they are checking for.

Do you have any idea how many miles are on the injectors you are running now?

I have no idea, there the same from when I bought it. the truck has 220,000 miles I dont know if there original or not. My truck seems to have a slight miss, and smells of diesel fuel at the tail pipe.

The injectors and the return lines would be painted grey if they were OEM installed.

the injectors dont seem to have any paint on them rusty looking. The return lines I know are new as well as the injector seals, the guy I bought them off of replaced them, He never said anything about the injectors...

What injectors would you buy?
