Default Injectors

So im getting my injectors tested as we speak and if they come back bad which im sure several will. My question is...so i go with bigger sticks or stick to stock? i still want good mpg and already have enough power but more is always better, but i need this truck for work everyday and my business so i dont want to make it unreliable, so give me some advice please and will going bigger help my mpg or hurt and what is the real benefit of going bigger. thanks

The best mileage I've ever gotten with my 03 was with DDP 50 horse nozzles. They run pretty clean and the power and mileage gain was very noticeable. You will like them!

If your Injectors come back good you can do just a set of 50 nozzles which will save you quite a bit of money or if they aren't you can get a complete set.

I was running them with a Super Phat Shaft 62 from Industrial Injections at the time. EGT's were very manageable. I never had a problem with them getting much higher than 1250° and that was only when I was towing up heavy grades.

We are direct with DDP so I get them from Lenny Reed

Just an update for you guys. My warrenty company called back and they are gonna cover all 6 injectors, feed tubes, and 6 hours of labor
I have had pretty good luck with this warrenty company so far i have got a built 48re,whole new front end( ball joints,sway bars etc...),u joints, and now this and so far it has only cost me round $500 out of my pocket.

If they wont cover the labor let me know. I will give you my cell phone number and walk you through the install and save you a small fortune.

Thats awesome that they are covering everything for you though
