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.

You 100% sure they are alliant brand new injectors and not remmanned with new cups? labor is certainly added into your total cost, but are you 100% certain they are brand new? I ask because it's obvious, your old and worn injectors and the now new injectors share the identical problem. either it wasn't your injectors to begin with or your new ones are not so new.

my two cents.

yes I am 100% sure. This is a trusted shop along with a family friend for years. He only charges me 1/2 labor because he works on every vehicle for my family and I know he wouldn't lie. I believe the new injectors fixed the problem temporarily. I guess I will just take it back to him probably just another o-ring in the injector again. He doesn't charge me anything to do a diagnostic so I'll just go there. I only asked on here because I thought maybe this was something else that others had trouble with. Only reason I got on here was to save the diesel of driving 90 miles to his shop but I guess I can't get any help here. Sorry to bother anybody.
