Re:injectors again

There was another thread recently which generated a lot of discussion about this topic. Opinions will vary. But from my own experience I can tell you I lost .5 mpg when I installed my 275's, course my overhead computer thinks I picked up 2 mpg. Just recently I added an EZ and already I can tell my mileage is slightly better. Won't know for sure for another tank or two but it appears I picked up 1 - 1.5 so together I am 1 mpg ahead.<br><br>So pick your injectors and set your comp on EZ mode would be my recommendation when you want to run economically. ;D

Re:injectors again

I know you did not mention them but a DD1 would be my choice for what you want.<br><br>Don~

Re:injectors again

Good mileage, good value. He did mention mileage as being important to him. That was my main reason for saying the DD1's.<br><br>The RV275 are fine as well, but after Lawrence gets done inspecting and and honing a set of injectors you get a quality product.<br><br>Of course a stage 1 or 2 injector would be like driving a stock truck for some of us <br><br>Don~

Re:injectors again

Oh sure, just when I thought I was starting to get a handle on the next bomb, EZ and RV 275's, someone pops up and interjects DD1's as a viable option to the 275s. Is the difference significant to notice, as in a noticeable hp difference, construction strength difference, etc or just a difference in manufacturing, noticeable mpg improvement. I'm not leaning towards the smoke 'em out cloud but more the towing machine mod's. Yes, I admit to a overwhelming desire to smoke a few of the ricers but reality says there are a few other diesels to pass on the hills of the Cascades ;D ;D<br><br>~Dave

Re:injectors again

&quot; Smoke is good&quot; <br><br>Especially for N Korean governments that break every treaty they sign with us. <br><br><br>After Lawrence gets finished inspecting the DD1's you can rest easy knowing that no fatal flaw is present. I personally have seen defects in factory new Bosch injectors that caused me to toss some of the components in the &quot;circle file&quot; It is very rare though, but like any mass produced components, things can slip through the cracks.<br><br>Don~<br><br><br><br>
