My 2007 had only 7000 miles on the odometer before I had to take it in to have one of the injectors replaced. Luckily, it was covered by warranty.

I could be wrong but I think thats pretty good milage out of a set of injectors. It seems that is about when people need to start replacing them. Dynomite diesel supposedly makes good injectors but I have no first hand experiance with them.

Difference between nozzles and injectors is neither will work without the other. The injector is the main body with nozzle at the "tip" of the injector. Fuel flows through the body of the injector out through the nozzle and into the cylinder. At the tip of the nozzle are holes where the fuel is "sprayed" out from. The injector basically allows measured amounts of fuel to flow through and out the nozzle. Same principal of your friendly nurse giving you your flu shot.

You can change the nozzles on your OEM injectors, or you can purchase injectors with higher hp nozzles and send in your OEM as "cores". Best way to go is to send them in, to have the nozzles replaced (this way the they can be tested as well) or you purchase new nozzles and using the "right tool" to replace the nozzles yourself. (special tool is required to hold injector while removing/installing new nozzles)

Smile Injectors Are On The WAY SWEET!!!!!!

Ok so i did the math and figured out that it is 300 dollars cheeper to buy stock injectors rather than after market. So I ordered so Industrial Injectors 50hp nozzles. I heard i will get close to 3 mpg more with them. Anybody know of this actually happening?

You may get a slight increase if you don't run around using that extra 50 horses all the time.
