I agree with you in this particular application about the injectors, however I would like to point out and have you clarify (as you've eluded to your dislike of upgrades, on more than one occasion), how "NOTHING" is better than stock hardware. The 6.0 powerstroke is the example I will use, but it is not limited to one manufacturer. The OEM's have all been know to cut corners to keep costs down or have there hands tied by emission regulations. How do you explain the EGR cooler failures and the "improved" aftermarket ones? Also the FICM reprograms and ECM rollbacks? Or something as simple as the intercooler hoses that were known to blow off? And that's just one engine, I'm sure we could go on and on, yes there are a lot of snake-oil products out there, but there are also many quality aftermarket products that, if not always better are at least equal to OEM's, for a fraction of the cost. The Agricultural market is just as bad, there are certain parts that come from the same manufacturer but cost twice as much from the dealer. So the price alone makes it better than stock hardware. Personally, when I see new equipment with problems and warranty work or repeated failures of of the same component it makes me wonder what else they overlooked or could have done better. Just to clarify I don't expect them to be perfect, things break, I get it, but you can't just blindly follow anything or anybody either, balance is key. Just a friendly rebuttal, -Cheers.
