Found someone selling a GP Sorenson spider injector part #800-1513N for $125 brand new never used.

I really want to get the Delphi brand but it's $320 and I just don't have that kind of scratch right now.

Is this a good quality unit that will last for at least 5 years?

Does this unit come with fuel pressure regulator and all that would be included in Delphi unit? Great price if it does, but can't really say since I don't personally have expericence with GP Sorenson products.

Are you having problem with your injection system right now?

If you don't really need it now, why not hold out and save some money towards the Delphi unit like you want?

My Delphi unit in my truck is working flawlessly.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah it comes with a FPR. I read someone saying the actual injectors and made by Delphi not sure about the regulator. Engine is running rich for me and has p0172 and p0175 codes but I didn't check the fuel pressure with a gauge yet I dont own one.

Make sure air filter is not clogged and spend a few bucks for MAF cleaner. O2 sensors might be going out, too. I'd suggest replacing O2 sensors if your truck has over 85K miles or questionable when it was changed last. Check and eliminate possibilities that might cause it to run rich.

You can rent a fuel pressure gauge at AutoZone or O'reiley''s.

After everything above checks OK, $125 might be a cheap and quick way out for you.

Good luck.

Changed the oil, air filter and cleaned the throttle plate and MAF the first day I bought the truck 2 weeks ago. Also cleaned up some ground wires and cleaned the sheet metal down to bare metal for a better ground connection. I had the crazy fuel gauge issue but still there and i'm sure it's the sender.
