can someone fill me in on this?
so im having the hard starting problem that it seems like a ton of 2003 owners are experiencing. so looking online for injectors, they seem to go for ~$390 for new stock replacements. I see that on Performance Diesel Inc.'s website, they have reman injectors, they are $1,020 for a set of 6 (so $170ea), and i remember seeing injectors on another site (that i cant seem to find) injectors for $199ea.
whats the deal with the price fluctuation on these injectors???

A LOT of times , all you are getting is the tips. Make sure you are getting the entire injector, or contact DonM on here to get yours rebuilt with new tips.....thats my plan!

Explain your hard start a little more. Does the truck just crank over more than it should? If so, change your crank sensor, 20 bucks, fixed my '06 and dad's '03. The crank sensor can be going bad and not throw a code. The service manager and diesel tech at the dealership i take my truck to said to change it every 60k or so, it will also affect your mileage. Dad went from getting 22 hand calc to 24. If it starts, dies, misfires, etc, injectors might be the way to go.

injectors could be leaking down, pressure relief valve could be bad, also.

all are possible issues, but if it were me, i would spend the 20 bucks on a crankshaft position sensor to see if it corrects the problem first. What you describe is exactly what my truck was doing before a new sensor, which corrected it immediately and i haven't had the issues since. Just my .02
