$800 for injectors??? Must be dealer your talking right?(bend over) My FAST 65lb inj were $700(cdn), can get matched fms21lb(about 23lb w/our fuel pressure) for under $300

I never priced them at the dealer. My searches showed injectors at ~$70/ea. and up. Factoring taxes and shipping, it could run upwards of $800. Either way, a sonic cleaner and rehabbing the injectors is more economical.

No, I was looking for injectors for my 5.2L a while back and I was coming up with $70/injector.

But hey, tell the guy to buy new parts rather than refurbishing what he has. People here still use the term "tune up" on these trucks when there's no such thing.

Well i wanted to run new injectors anyway, and they cleaned out the fuel rail already, they did a full fuel system flush through the whole thing, which was nice, that cost a little extra, but to get it running wasnt as expensive as I thought it would be it was about 130 I think to do the fuel system flush, and thank you all who held out hope for me, it was really disappointing to think I was going to lose her after putting all that time and effort into her to making her look nice.
