Well guys it finally happened got my truck all put back together today with the new stage 1s and my intake. Still gotta get the dp but it will happen prolly within the next week. I love my injectors and it smokes quite a bit. I am really happy. I have been in a truck with stage 2s and threes just seems like each step has so much more work. NE way well i love the injectors recomend the DIY kit to anybody from Rosewood Diesel.

 

congrats man get some vids up

 

I can't believe you didn't even call me after you got it running......Man. Well, I hope it's running good. Also, you need to PM me your regular email so I can add you to the DR email list. Good job man. I know it was an uphill battle with the injector cups and all. Which by the way, did you get to see them pull that last one? Holler at me.

 

yeah what did you end up doing with the cups? congrats either way though!!

 

Now we will have to run them!!!! lol

 

Whoops Im under my dads name!! lol

 

Ok guys i knw its been a while but to answer you guys on the injector cup problem i wound up takin it to INTERNATIONAL because it was way cheaper there by about half of the price of the blue oval. I took it in and they did my cups in like 3 hours of work. It wound up bein somewhere around $360 for the job and i already had purchased the cups which are $10 a piece

FOR YOUR INFO: I would recomend to anyone who is opening up there engine for any reason and you are draining coolant and fluids out to go ahead and if you can afford it to have your injector cups changed because the problems you run into later on with injector failure caused by injector cups cracking or punching holes will cost you more in the long run than to just be safe. I sure learned this the hard way. I would also recomend just letting INTERNATIONAL do this because dont get me wrong im not much of a wrencher but even some of the guys i consider wrenchers will tell you that its a B**** to do and a pain.

TO INFORM THOSE WHO ARE READING AND ARE LOST: Here about a month and a half or so ago i ran into problems where my truck was loosing power, showing high temperatures and just plain out runnin like S*** and scarin me because of the way the engine sounded. Come to find out after tearing down to the injectors thinking it was injector failure (which was part of it) the cause was because seated in the head over each cylinder is an injector cup which is about the size of a regular shot glass in size. THIS CUP TAKES A SPECIALTY TOOL FROM ROLUNDA TOOL WHICH IS JOINT WITH FORD (Short for expensive as crap and still not what you need) The cups purpose is to separate coolant from the injector port and cool the head. The cups are actually fairly soft metal therefore they have to tap into the cup with an 1- 1/4'' Tap that is a 20 thread per inch, 6in flute 9 inch total in lenth TAP. It screws into the cup and then traditionally slide hammered out/ or like INTERNATIONAL drivin out by a small hydraulic ram. I dont mind tellin you guys i really struggled with this one and from my post you can tell it meant alot to me to describe this because i want all to knw.

 

awesome man! it's so motivating (to me at least) to hear someones success story and how pleased they are with the mods they performed. now when you get your dp you will be setup right! i would strongly suggest (and i am sure you have heard this till your ears hurt) a custom chip from tony or jody b/c those programmers just dont do bigger injectors ANY justice! you will crap your pants at the difference, i did!

have you done the 17* HPOP to help feed the S1's?

-cutts-

 

No I have not and let me tell ya its on the list for sure but being a college student these things take lots of time because i go to school year round and i usually dont have the time to work so when i do i try to make hay so i can spend it on my truck. But definately on the list and i appreciate the repost.
