Injector Nightmare!

Alright.. someone point me in the right direction.

FULL STORY:
#8 injector went out. Replace it with a ford injector($350)
Decided to buy 7 more from Dieselcare.net (diesel daddy).

Upon getting them 3 were bad from the get go. They sent me 3 more. This caused a ton more labor at the dealership ($1700 labor + $900 for injectors)

Fast forward to now..(3000 miles, 1 month) #3 injector is bad.
They send me one more. The left bank is still weak. When switching on individual injectors we can hear how horrible they run. Cost me $457 today to swap out the injector.

Send me to someone that can get the job done right.. who sells injectors that are good?

I might as well take it to ford and get 7 ford injectors cuz if those screw up then I have labor covered..

This is total BS.. FML

Well I ordered a new one from Casserly, and it was still weak. We went through the wiring and it was all good.

I hate to say Ryan's injector is bad without talking to him.

At this point in the game, I think my luck just sucks....

Send them to Lenny at Dynomite Diesel in Monroe, WA. No need to buy new injectors... they do all the honing work in house. He'll hone them to what ever you want.

you cant mix injectors from other sellers...some dont flow test..just build send and collect your cash. thats a very bad thing...Ryan's injectors are all flow tested and every one he builds are with in 3 cc of each other before it goes out the door.....

Didn't you think you had issues with your idm? You might have a wiring issue which can be hard to find.

We are still searching that one out.. box is on the way.

But an injector failing w/in 3k miles? I fail to see how the IDM Box is the cause.

The plugs to the valve covers was replaced and all the wiring was checked..

I've never heard anything bad about Ryan's injectors, but when one went out on a work truck of mine, I picked up a new Alliant injector for less than $300 (alliant makes the stock injector) and put it in. I've heard too many horror stories about rebuilds, and since I was in a hurry, and didn't want all 8, I went with a new one.

I know.. thats why I was concerned with saying anything cuz I spoke with him and he seemed like a really good guy.

I did purchase the new one he offers.. for $220

Hence my surprise when it came up weak. That whole bank is weak (1-3-5-7) and the #3 was dead before Ryan's injector went it. Could the other 3 be screwing everything up??

Have you ohm'd out the injector solenoids (I to C). I heard one bad one can shut down a bank or cause it to run ruff. I would also think you would probably want to match all injectors.
