4.7l Fuel Injectors
Hello,
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7l with 196,690 miles. I have had it since 2021 and it worked like a charm but then I got a cat code, and I finally got that replaced by an honest muffler shop. I am getting some bad starts after it is hot and I have to open the key and shut it off twice before turning it the whole way to start the truck. I was told that I needed to replace the injectors before changing the gas pump since there was no major issue with gas flow.
My question is, what is the recommended fuel injector and brand I should consider purchasing for a truck like mine?
Thank you in advance.

Think I would put an actual fuel pressure gauge on it for a cold start, and see what pressure is doing at initial key on. Injectors are NOT cheap, and throwing them at the truck 'hoping' it will fix it, I can pretty much guarantee will be a disappointment. 
That sounds a LOT like a fuel pump on its way out. Or, at the very least, a bad check valve on the fuel system.....
