Remanned will cost around a grand to possibly $1500, new injectors will cost around 2k or more. And did you go stock injectors or bigger, like 160/80's or something..?? Check that receipt and let us know.

Brand new. I spent $4500 on the entire job including new battery cables and labor. They are stock injectors. I don't like to power up my pickup a whole lot just because I don't have the money to replace tranny/tc. I bought this truck because it was cheaper than the comparable Dodge and Grandpa always has better luck with his Ford than dad's Dodge on the farm. At this point in repairs I could have the nicest Dodge in the family. I bought new injectors because my mechanic friend at Roberts International in Enid said remans will go out in 1/6 the time of new.

Okie doke. I still plan on buying that system as soon as I can get the money ahead. The more it throws its little fits the longer it will be. I will get the truck paid off next month and be able to spend money on that AE system hopefully. The more fits I have the more I'm about to just give up on it and go back to a gasser or find an old 12v Dodge so it's all mechanical and actually makes sense.

A suggestion I had last night was that there may be corrosion on the lift pump. If the truck will start this morning so I can get it in the garage I will check that. It got down to 58 where I live last night and with the way it's been acting I should have plugged it in... My cousin has the exact same truck as mine and his will fire below 30 without plugin unlike this one.
