Moneyslave is out of injectors at last report.
There have been good reports about Rock Auto injectors though.
If you have a diesel service center nearby or a farm equipment dealer,you could save some cash by having your injectors rebuilt with Bosch,Stanadyne or Delphi nozzles.

This is what i would suggest to anyone, anyway! As this way you can have the pop pressure set all the same, in a controlled environment, by local people. This is only if you have the time to take them out,,, take them in,, and re-install with out a rush. Also, you should be able to get an install kit from them as well. Return hoses, crush washers, ect. I'd recommend 2200psi set pop pressure.

Just talked to the local shop and they want $47 per rebuild, or $58 for new ones. That's nowhere near my budget. The DTC36 points toward my IP(might of found a rebuilt on a shelf for $150), plates are due(witch means emission inspection, codes=no pass in CO), obviously injectors, upper gasket kit, and figured a FTB would be ideal at this level of tear down.

What would their price have been if you supplied the nozzles?

$47 a pop for rebuilt or $58 a pop for new is a DANGED good price for injectors.
The local diesel shop I use sells rebuilds for $50 + core and they come with a 1 year, unlimited mile warranty. They do good work, it was worth the money.

I bought a set of Bosch India injectors from rockauto and had one sticking. I replaced with an old set of German ones I had laying around untill I can get them tested/set

It is not very hard to replace the nozzles,it is setting that pressures that takes some effort.
I believe there are threads here or on google detailing an injector overhaul:

Google has plans to build your own pop tester.

Just to show you that labor in the US is a lot more than India!!!
In perspective, the $50-$55 is probably 100% good with small quantity while the Bosch India is still 96% good and 4% bad (6 sigma good).
The beauty is that we have a choice which is not happening in other countries.

It's amazing how hard deals are to find around here. The was a 6.5 complete engine on craigslist $400 about a month or so ago, no room or time to do what I would like though. But even super companies like ATS won't touch 6.5s(more negative issues than can count with them from my "old" '04 cummins)

We're doing fine on a set of rebuilt injectors from Badger Diesel.
Beware of cheap injectors. The Chinese nozzles don't last - mine only went 30K. They can stick open and let air in the system while the engine is off. Then you crank the engine over for 30+ seconds to prime the injector lines. This is hard on starters.
I would not spend less than $55.00 per injector again! Other than a leaking body the sets I have from a local shop run way better and have eaten lots of fuel and bad fuel at that. A stuck open injector can take out your engine faster than you can lift your foot off the throttle. See my avatar pic from the melted piston from a bad injector...
