Default questions on injectors

this maybe a dumb question but im buying some injectors from a guy for my 03 and im paying 900 for em. they just got tested only have 10,000 on em and they all tested good so my questions are is that a good price and also will they only work on 03-04.5 or can i use em for our 04.5 and are 06??

03-04 (A)

04.5-07 (B)

Injector events are different between A and B.

Nope. A injectors on an A engine, B on a B. Only way it'll work, and work right.

$150 a piece?? Find out where he had them tested, then find out if the shop is real or not. Time consuming as a **** when you change injectors, and ensuring the tubes don't leak past the injector body. Only part I hate about it.

Incorrect assumption. The injector bodies on all the 5.9 CR's are exactly the same and interchange. To swap between the particular engines all that is needed is a tip change.

Well i found out that 06 injectors dont work on an 03 but we got it all straightened out. they actually fit in and it ran really good just puffed alot of black smoke. i only ran it about 30 miles and now the right ones are in and have no problems and she runs good

The injectors physically interchange between the early 555 motors & later 600-series, but the '03-'04 reentrant spray tips shouldn't be used with '04.5-'07 non-reentrant bowl geometry & vice versa.
