My complaint isn't about the price. It's about misrepresenting what is being sold. Take my present situation. I want to replace my injectors with something that will equal the service life of the originals. That means either a totally new injector, or a rebuilt with a new tip installed. Both will provide the same service life if done properly since, in either, all the moving parts are new.
I am looking for best deal, but am willing to pay whatever the market price is.
Again, my complaint is NOT knowing what the H*ll is actually being sold - since many of the descriptions are bogus. If you take an injector, clean it and test it, it is NOT remanufactured, period. Call it "cleaned up", "checked", "good used", even "refurbished", but NOT rebuilt, and NOT remanufactured.
I had started out looking for new injectors. The last set I bought came from Midwest Diesel. They had non-turbo 6.9 diesel injectors advertised as NEW, so I bought them. They were, just as advertised, NEW. That should NOT be a surprise.
So, now I'm looking for injectors for my turbo 7.3, and NEW doesn't mean NEW anymore (with some people). Same goes for REBUILT.
There is an ad right now on Ebay from Diesel Care in Memphis, Tennessee. The ad reads
"You are bidding on a 6.9L / 7.3L remanufactured diesel fuel injector. These injectors are complete remanufactured and not merely cleaned and tested."
So, I called them and tried to verify that the injectors have new tips. I was told "probably not" and I'd have to buy new if that's what it want.
I've worked at diesel shops and Deere and Chevy dealerships, and never have I, or anybody else I've worked with ever had the nerve to call something rebuilt when it's simply been cleaned up and tested.
