Question INJECTORS! WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?

Whats up guys! When is the right time to replace the injectors or what could be some tall tale signs that possibly the injectors could be going bad? My truck has 177,xxx mile on i believe stock injector. There doesnt seem to be a problem but I'm just wondering when I should upgrade if need be (life span on injectors).

If there isn't a problem, then the only reason is to get better mileage while adding power. A set of RV275's, or 65HP injectors will do nothing but make the truck better in every way.

When is the right time to replace the injectors
the right time would be just before they go bad.

if your not having any problems with them then don't worry. plenty of power can be made on stock injectors. i would wait until it is time for a new set and then look at upgrading

if you are worried that you might have problems then have a good diesel shop check it out for you first. you can also post symptoms here for help
