Default injector tips

I'd do whole injectors. Who's to say somthing won't go wrong when you take the nozzle off. You can do just a nozzle but but most people don't get them pressure checked etc and they just put the injector back in and go. It will still run but you may have not have equal performance acrocc the cylinders. This can lead to other issues. Fir my time and money I'd just rather get whole upgraded units. There are other things in life you can go cheap on. Never you performace parts. Just my thoughts.

If you have alot of miles on your current injectors we recommend you go with a set of new bodies or reman.

You would be shocked at how fast these injectors go south without a 2 micron filter pre CP-3 pump!! If you have them out have them tested first! Call Isaac at USA freedom diesel for fast service!
