so I replaced all 8 injectors now, I had a bad injector out of the box reading +15, got another one and still rough, sent it into GM dealer came back with balance rates as follows:
cylinder 1 (-2.5)
cylinder 2 (-4.6)
cylinder 3 (5.2)
cylinder 4 (-3.2)
cylinder 5 (-0.6)
cylinder 6 (-0.2)
cylinder 7 (1.4)
cylinder 8 (-1.2)

so cyl 3 is bad of course, I am worried about cyl 2 and possibly 4, these were GB remans and I would not reccommend them at all, any one else have a problem with these? I am ready to lose it, also to mention ruled out FPR at GM. bad fuel knock on passenger side, especially at operating temp.
Thanks guys,

Thanks guys,

You just said it yourself sir. You replaced all 8 injectors with " REMANS" ?. If so I have read and seen guys say to avoid remans. I know it is not probably the answer your looking for, but that's my 2 cents. From what I have gathered the man for injectors seems to be Brent at Lincoln Diesel.

OEM Bosch Injectors are the best quality on the market today, balance rates as close to zero is what your looking for.

All injectors are remans.

The key is buying ONLY BOSCH CERTIFIED REMAN INJECTORS.
