I have some friends recently who've used them without an issue as of late.
I will be trying a set here in a customer's truck here soon to have a first hand experience as I've started buying all of our OEM genuine Bosch stuff from them as they are quite cheap. Flux diesel buys all of their OEM genuine Bosch stuff from LDS as well.
I have bought a ton of lb7 lly injectors from them with no issues just not in 2 years. The price is amazingly good and am a dealer for one of the big name fuel system company’s and the is not even close still. Is the quality warrant the price difference?
Full disclosure, until recently I had not done business with LDS after my experience with them in 2020. I recently had a very productive conversation with Brent and discussed why I felt they let the customer down and how I felt that they did him a major wrong. Again, this was 2020.
After talking with a couple other shop owners whom I've known for years and 100% trust their opinion, they have had zero issues with LDS oversized injectors including a set of 150%. I told Brent this as well as telling him that I will not openly recommend his injectors myself until I run them simply because I will not recommend a product I have no experience with. Regardless of cost, I will not recommend a product I wouldn't personally use and I really hope that shows.
The set of 60% LMM another shop owner used idled perfectly clean, made great power on a S369, and ran very very clean overall with the same quality as you'd expect from a high quality injection shop. I'll be honest, I was a bit shocked.
This is somewhat covered above. I do not have any direct experience with their oversized product in the last ~4.5yrs at my shop other than some tuning nightmares from 2021. Since then, I have had multiple trucks come in with their injectors in various stages of life (low/mid/higher mileage) and all but one ran just as clean as I'd expect.
That's good to hear. Any idea on who they source their injectors from? I imagine they switched to another outfit unless they somehow patched up their relationship with S&S
As far as reman, maybe Brad was informed but I'm not sure. I know the LDS new stuff is genuine Bosch, I assume direct from Bosch
As for injector building, it's done in-house. I did inquire with Brent if they hone nozzles in-house or if they're done off-site. I will report back tomorrow when he responds. I know in the past I heard they use Redat nozzles but I do not know if that is still the case. I know Redat had a history of being a bit lazier/hazier than Bosch out of the box but much more affordable.
If I recall Don @ Flux correctly years ago, Redat makes a good nozzle and requires some work to be on par with a Bosch motorsport nozzle.
Their new and reman injectors come straight from Bosch in genuine Bosch boxes. They are actually one hell of a large Bosch distributor in the midwest after calling even more shop friends.
Their reman and new come from Bosch like everyone else who's above board.
