stock injectors have around 135k on them. in with the new out with the old and maybe a little better fuel mileage. if nothing else preventative maintenance. figured they were a good price so why not. also ordered a new set of global cops. jbrew seemed to have good luck when he did cops, plugs and new injectors so i figured for under 200 bucks all together why not.

I think the stock injectors are 21 pound injectors, those on Ebay are only 19 pound. You will probably have lean conditions and driveability issues.

Those injectors will work great but they are ev3 style and you will require the adapters to make them work. You are probably better off finding the EV1 style.

new costs alot more though lol. i found a set off a crown vic for like 40 bucks. look to be in decent condition, but i agree with what your saying. but i cant see spending boatloads of money and brand new injectors for a used truck with 135k, especially if i plan on hopefully gettin a new motor sometime in the next year.

if there are no issues with your factory injectors then i'd leave them alone. its not like their known for leaking or going bad. sometimes they do go bad or leak but there not known for it. my truck has all 8 factory injectors with 262,000 miles and 15 years of age on them.
