Default Beware of these 8.1 truck injectors on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fuel-...item45f16e92f3

I just bought a set of these last week. They showed up on sat, and first off they state that these are new 0 mile take offs. It looks like they have been rolling around in the bed of a truck for the past year. The stock injectors that I took out of my 140k mile truck were in better looking condition. And to top it off I got them all installed and the truck had a bad mis, turns out one of the injectors is locked up, not firing I guess if the price is too good to be true it probably is

Just outta curisoity, how come you didn't return them if they looked that bad? Mabey if you find which one is not firing correctly, mabey they can just hook you up with just one. #7

I guess thats one way they get around their return/ exchange policy.It says the exchange item most be in new codition.So if they ship you used injectors you cant sendum back.lol!Pretty neat scam they got there.

Definetly let us know. Also be sure to tell them that your a member of a club and that you will be letting us,as well as better business,know (It is definetly a leverage help).
Good luck with it. #7

I noticed their ebay rating was 100%. I would give them a chance to make it right. Good luck
