Remember, there are 3 basic emissions calibrations, Federal, California, and Straight (called straight cause it doesn't need to match either Fed or Cali). Those then divide into various sections, such as Federal: LDC, MDC, and HDC... So you see that there could be quite a few variables, but MOST Dodge trucks came with either Federal or Straight calibration. Reason I bring up PCM calibration is that fuel trim, A/F ratio, etc vary on calibration, and some of these calibrations very likely restrict the amount of fuel trim to match the injectors... So it would be interesting to try the 19lb/hr out on various calibs and tunes... I have a set for those who wanna try. My truck is Straight calib.
How can you tell what calibration you have? I am vary interested it trying some injectors.

Well, here is the end if the story. techningeer is correct. 19#/hr won't work as the stock injectors are around 22#/hr. I contacted Motor Man Fuel Injection (www.injectors4u.com) and they responded that the original Dodge, single hole fuel injectors are Bosch #04854181. They recommended Bosch #0280155784, a direct replacement, 4-hole design, which I ended up purchasing.

The four hole design works really well. Granted, I installed them in a new engine. But at idle, I can't tell if the engine is even running and it starts up every time, even with the arctic chill we are experiencing in the northeast right now. It is an easy install and a performance upgrade.

Different strokes for different folks but the 5-6 years old re-manufactured 19# 4 hole Ford injectors are working perfectly in my '01 5.9. If you don't mind me asking...how much did you have to pay for those?

Surprised no one has mentioned Neon 703 injectors...

Pretty common subject with Jeeps: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/d...p-how-1305456/
