    Default New Injectors

    Looking for recommendations on a reliable source to purchase new injectors. I usually give my business to John Kennedy, but he is pretty much out of the 6.5L business and won't have any more injectors in stock for a while. Rock Auto is out of name brands I trust. The local Stanadyne dealer closed up shop years ago.

    Who do you guys trust to provide quality injectors? I've been hurt by the cheap, imported stuff in the past.

    I haven't shopped them in a while either, so I don't really know where to start. Autozone is listing ACD, but maybe a bit pricey at 83 bucks. They also list Duralast new and remans for less, with a longer warranty. I'd try them. They also have the install kit, which includes the return lines, for 32 bucks.

    I have used these guys many times. https://www.dfispdx.com/

    Call them up.
    Send your squirts and they will rebuild them.
    These folks are the area Stanadyne shop......

    Have never had any issues with anything they have worked on for me.

    I had the set of Squirts for the Dahoooley done to my specs for that build.....I wanted a touch below top spec and very close tolerance to keep the engine smooth......Perfect....

    Thanks!

    Has anyone used Quad Star Tuning? They show to have new Bosch injectors:

    I've heard good things about them on other sites....

    That's an excellent price for new Bosch injectors. If that's what you get delivered, the seller really doesn't matter much. Testing and rebuilding a set would be more than half way to that.

    If they're legit, it's nice to see someone focused on just the 6.2/6.5 diesels. I looked around and haven't found much in recent activity for them on other forums. It looks like they just created a FB page this month. Checking their address, it is to a residence north of Pittsburgh. They may be legit, but I sort of have my questions on what I'm seeing...

    I actually purchased an Adjustable VSSB from them last year, and they shipped it out right away. It's been working great. I've read about them on several of the 6.2L/6.5L Facebook groups that I'm members of.

    That sounds promising. As I said, having someone focused on the 6.2/6.5 engines would be valuable.
