I recently had mine rebuilt by Jim - Rosewood Diesel Shop. RDS is also a sponsor here.

Jim is great to work with and answered an onslought of questions from me. The injectors run like new and the power is unbelievable. Just be sure to get a chip to run those bigger sticks. Jim has a deal on the PHP chip when purchased with his injector rebuild.

You will want to send in you injectors to be rebuilt. It only took 6 days from the time I shipped them out to when I got them back.

There are other rebuilders, but I don't have any experience with them.

Definately go with Jim at Rosewood diesel shop. DIY-injectors.com You will really need a good chip to wake the injectors up too. DP, TW or PHP are the best ones to go with. They will do you just fine. You can sell that programmer to make up some of the cash.

Get a chip instead of a programmer. The chip will be set up for your truck with exactly the mods you have done to it.

You'll be much happier.

No you don't want to stack a chip and programmer. It won't work. Get a DP, PHP or TW chip. That is your best bet.
