Default Lucas Prince of Darkness POD injectors

well since my injectors and pump are shot, its time to upgrade. anyone have any experience with these injectors. the price looks about right at around 450 and they say its a 52 HP gain.

anyone run these in an intercooled first gen truck?

they make decent power, good started injectors if your on a budget. They are very smoky which we all know leads to higher egts

For around teh same price you can get an injector thats 100x better. Something along the lines of a 370 or a 435. SDX has some pretty good injectors.

Or look around and you could find a used det of POD's for less. I ran some for a year or so. They were ok but VERY smokey and run real hot.

The North American Tech Representative for Delphi even told me the POD injector does not fit the Dodge application very well.

i had a friend of mine come over and check out the truck he's a diesel fleet mechanic for the fire department here and he told me the pump is shot and he thinks 2 of my injectors are toast. and while the money is available i want to do them both so it doesnt leave me stranded somewhere when i dont have the money
