But at over $10,000 for a set of injectors for a 6.7L Cummins from the Dodge shop, I'm sure I'd rather replace a set of coils.
A complete injector is $500 to $600 each. I do all my own work so I don't know for sure, but I find it really hard to believe that additional parts and labor from a shop is going to run $6,000 to $7,000. If it does, then it's no wonder I do my own wrenching.
Just passing along what I read over at the DieselTruckRegister from a member there who got tangled in the mess. I don't even want to think what a set of injectors would cost for a PSD installed. But $3600 for six over the counter 3rd party shade tree rebuilt injectors after core exchange is pretty cheap! Why I will NOT be using any gimmicks, gadgets, snake oils or other unapproved aftermarket money grabs on my 5th Cummins powered Ram.:B

First of all, you found one person and the majority of the responses said the same thing I did...that is way way too much money.
Second of all, a Bosch injector is a Bosch injector. They are not better just because they came from a Dodge dealer. I don't understand why so many people feel the need to go to the Dodge dealer when a Cummins specialist can do the same job so much cheaper.
The most expensive new one I found was this one and it is $750 for a new Bosch

Then I found this one for $607.08 and it too was a new Bosch.

I found another site that had the injector for $575 that had the same part number but it did not specifically state it was a Bosch so I decided to omit that link. So even if the most expensive injector is used, the extra parts, tax, and labor is still $5,500? That is a rip-off.
I guess what I am saying is shop around.
On edit, I found another new one from Pure Cummins for $499.
