you could say chipped, but that don't change the fact that the first set of injectors i got from them went bad in 5 days after they were instaled

ive got the bully dog power pup in mine. i dont think it had anything to do with it tho bc the injectors in that model truck r just crap anyways. ur pics u put up on changing the injectors are great they answered a couple questions i had about it. if u know of any other place to get injectors and glowplugs at a good price let me know. how do u feel about going to a you-pull-it scrap yard and getting the injectors out of a wrecked truck?

thats where i got my current motor from in the dmax now

even if you do that you will be there for a little while pulling them injectors out. my price on them is like 2k from the dealer and i get a discount. there aint really many places where you can get them for a low price and know they are good
