Warning: compared OEM injectors to reman ones on a 6.7 Powerstroke and the difference was brutal

Spent $1200 on remans from a local shop and had two fail within 6 months, then swapped to factory Bosch injectors for $2200 and the truck runs smoother than it did when it was new, so has anyone else just decided to bite the bullet and never mess with non-OEM parts again?

Wait, lemme get this straight - you paid $1200 to basically set fire to your wallet and learn a lesson we all eventually learn the hard way? Man, I've been there. It's like buying the cheap brake pads that squeal every time you stop at a red light, except your whole engine felt like it was gonna rattle apart. Reman is just a fancy word for "hopefully someone else's problem didn't become your problem" when it comes to injectors. Once you go Bosch, you don't go back, plain and simple. My buddy swore by remans until his truck started sounding like a diesel maraca, now he's all about that factory life too.

Honestly though, how many miles did the remans actually last before they started acting up?
