new injectors and mpg

Will new injectors actually give me better mpg. If so how much roughly. Also is there site to get light weight wheels that are as strong as stock. Thanks.

Stock, just replacing one got me 2 mpg (it was shot). 6 new, might be as much as 3, but you'll regain 20-30 lost hp.

Are there any brands of after market injectors that are known to be of superior quality. Whats a fair price for them also. My truck is running fine but I use a lot of fuel for my business and wouldn't mind a little extra power.

F1 diesel is who I used. Don has been around for a long time. I used Tim at TRE Diesel to get mine done. All of mine were tested. 3 were bad and 3 were boarderline. 6 days after he got them they were on a UPS truck back to me. Can't complain about that. Tim can also set up you with an exchange process. Give him a Call. http://www.trediesel.com/

I got some bad advice and didnt stay stock, now Ive lost 5-8mpg with new injectors and find out I need filtration and a programmer, $$$$ that I just spent and now I have to spend more ? I so messed up, so hopefully I dont pick the wrong programmer now, so sucks being a newbie, a nice flow chart of what you want out of your truck and how to get there would be nice, I would pay good money for something like that instead of paying so much in mistakes

Looking at your sig, you're probably going to need a Trans upgrade and gauges are a must with your mods.

27k for the truck 8mo ago and now new injectors and other work 5k, and now another 1300 for programmer and fass, and will need a trans and Ladder bars then get a bigger turbo, heated leather seats, tow mirrors, SRT hood, new rims and tires, there's no longer a 16k vette in my future, the list just took all of that and then some. Im now working for my truck
