so i was looking online for some parts today and found some pretty interesting stuff.

when i do my glow plugs i wanted to do my injectors and valve cover and uvc harness etc, well low and behold napa has it all.

it looks like napa sells them with a new harness etc. The remanufactured injectors are so cheap-(edit its a typo disregard)

What do you think? Should i trust this stuff to put on my truck?

heres some links

To be honest I wouldn't trust anything from NAPA, espicially anything that's remanufactured. I've seen too much that is of poor quality from them to want to buy anything that is vital to my truck's dependability.

right i know the injector is not right, thats why i put edit into the post.

What about the valve cover gaskets and the harness's etc?

How do you tell if they are the updated clips or whatever it is that keeps them in place better than before or something like that?

we get most of our stuff at the shop from NAPA.
competitive pricing, it usually works right the first time, very few returns on electrical stuff.

They're not always the cheapest, but they're consistently top drawer stuff..
or they usually have an econo line if'n y'all bein' a cheapskate...

so after many many hours friday and saturday i got the new stuff from napa installed. seems to work fine, the old ones were not in that bad of shape, kept them. I did notice that the glow plugs were berus and were destroyed. Well see how it goes.

Now when it sat outside for a night and it was 30 degrees the truck started right up on the first rev and no smoke. I went with the gpr109 from napa. Is this solenoid suppose to buzz when it turns on?
