Are those the ones that are built by "Herzog of Germany"? From what i've seen and read here and on other sites Herzog does not make 6.5L Diesel injectors. You be the judge where they could be from. I'd avoid them unless you can pinpoint exactly where they are made. If they are Chinese, avoid them like the plague. Chepa Chinese injectors will do more damage than they are worth. No sense saving money on injectors if one melts a hole in a piston. IMO go with a good set of Bosch or Stanadyne injectors. Bosch was factory, Stanadyne injectors can be had from Heath Diesel.

I've got over a year and 1/2 on a set of Heath Stanadyne injectors including some towing and i've had no issues with them.

Ask the Duramax guys about Pensacola, they will run the other way :eek: There are a couple people I know of who have used their injectors without issues, but most people have lots of issues, or just don't buy from them.

If you want a good price on injectors, Rock Auto has a good price on Bosch ones. You can also try sending a PM to Diesel Pro (a member here) he might be able to help you find a set for a good price as well.

Here's my .02: I had Pensacola rebuild my IP and I have been more than happy. I spoke to Dave on the phone several times and he seemed very professional and experienced. Having said that, I have no experience with their injectors.

Last time I checked (this morning), Rockauto does not have the new Bosch anymore.

I found them very hard to find on the site and had to use a hyperlink from somebody. Here you go. If they're not a vendor anymore, Mods please delete.

Guybb, you can search it, it is there. But when added to the cart, it does not want to. It said:

"Unfortunately BOSCH Part # 0432217276 is not currently available and has been removed from your shopping cart".

I was wondering about the Pensacola injectors too. They are listed on ebay and state an increase of 40 HP. That seems too good to be true.

They seem to have a fairly good reputation from what I have read by Googling Pensacola Diesel.

Yeah, the 40HP+ injectors are marine injectors. No such data has been given that prove they give anything close to 40HP.

thanks for all the opinions, thats the one thing i'm still not clear on, if marine injectors are any different than stock ones, all these companies claim power gains from them but on here everyone says there is no difference??? So that i do not understand. As far as injectors themselves pretty much what i've gathered is nothings really worth buying unless they're bosch???

Bosch, AcDelco, Stanadyne and... I thought there was one other brand, I forget.

I purchased a set of injectors from pensacola and they leaked so i sent them back and got another set and guess what, they leaked. Finally i recieved the third set and they lasted about two weeks before the truck started revving really high and puffing out blue smoke on start up. I took them out and bought a set from heath diesel. Rock auto and all pro auto parts lost there source for the injectors for some reason, too bad because they had good prices.

That's why I bought mine a couple of months ago but haven't gotten around to installing them yet. I finally did something right. Now to find the time to get them in.
