Want some feedback if you all that know would give me some on the POD injectors. I want these, I am not looking to make a total hotrod here, really want to replace the stock injectors which have over 300,000 miles on them and I hear they can come apart and fall off into the piston area and cause severe problems there. Not sure on that story, but that's what I have heard. I have a 5 speed in this truck and don't want to burn up the overdrive with too much power from the engine, I have heard this will happen if I turn it up too much with the 5 speed manual transmission, yet again, unconfirmed. I know for a fact an automatic can really handle the power of a Cummins 12 Valve turned up all the way stock, cause I have done it on my 1991.5 and had no issues what so ever. I hear and have read I could gain a considerable amount of power from the PODs and mileage too but they will smoke more if I do not stay out of the throttle. So, thoughts?

Well, waiting to get some info. and feedback from a couple of sellers and get their opinions as well.

 

You would be happier with a 145* injector.

PODS are. Descent injectors, but smoky and hot. Your best bet would be get some 5x12s, and put fresh oil in the getrag (overall by a quart, so if you flushed it 5 quarts)

The Getrag stayed maintained, it always got changed, I'm going to put Royal Purple in it when I get it. I'll look into some 5x12's, thanks for the tip! Thanks. Will look into the 145 injector too.

Were you talking about Dodge Cummins Diesel Truck DDP 12 Valve Injectors 275-100HP Nozzles 1989-1993 | eBay

Found some 5 x .18's, would that be too much injector for me?

 

Yes.

 

What about 5 x .16 or 5 x .14 ?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

It sounds like the 5 x .16's will work if I turn things up, according to the vendor.

 

Spend the $$$ and get injectors with the correct spray angle

Luke

 

So what is the correct one?

 

145* spray angle is the correct one for first gens

 

OK, finally found a site stating they have the 145 spray angle. Will these work then? 6x.012 425 HP injectors for 1st gen 145 degree spray pattern for IC motor

I am remembering the stock Bosche VE Pump will only support 300 horsepower. Is this 300 horsepower number correct or am I remembering wrong? Does that mean the 6 x .012 injectors won't work or the 6 x .012 145 degree spray angle injectors will support up to 425 horsepower and they will work?
