- Core returns must be the same style injector to receive full credit.
FAQ
Is tuning required for 160cc injectors?Not strictly required, but custom or box tuning is recommended to optimize pulse width and idle quality with 160cc flow.
Will these work on early 1999 trucks?No. Early-'99 trucks (pre-12/07/1998 build) typically use AA/AB/AC injectors. These AD-code units fit 1999.5-2003 builds.
Do I need new valve cover gaskets and UVCH?We strongly recommend replacing brittle gaskets/harnesses during injector service to avoid intermittent misfires and connection issues.
What else should I replace during install?At minimum: injector O-rings, fuel filter, check ICP health, and inspect the fuel return lines. See the recommended parts list above for CPP-stocked options.
