Anybody heard of Real Diesel in NC

I won a eBay auction to have my injectors rebuilt from Real Diesel in NC. Has anybody had heard of this company? They have my money and my injectors as of last Monday. I've seen bad and good reviews on them.

I haven't heard anything about them.

I try to sway people away from eBay auctions for fuel injection and engine-related parts - unless you know them well, they are selling new name-brand parts, and/or have a big positive selling history.

I bought a set of rod/main bearings recently from an eBay store. These were new, high-quality and name-brand factory-boxed bearings, and the seller had a huge positive seller rating. There were many less expensive bearing options available on eBay, probably made in China stuff. You get what you pay for. There's too much at stake when assembling an engine or replacing the fuel injectors to risk bad or poor quality parts from an unknown vendor. I'd rather pay the going rate for guaranteed parts and know that the vendor is reliable.

PS: If I were to begin selling injectors on eBay, I'd contact the administrator for all of the diesel boards/forums letting them know who I was and what I was offering on eBay. Then, I'd let the admins know about my warranty and the quality of the product. This wouldn't cost the vendor anything but a little time. I can't explain why the plethora of diesel-related vendors on eBay don't do that.

I was going to go with Pensacola diesel. I'm starting to wish I did. If Real Diesel would communicate maybe I wouldn't stress out so much.

I saw a forum signature somewhere that went something like this:

Would you take low bid on a heart transplant?

Pensacola? Seriously?

Good point. I thought pensecola diesel was a good company.

Google it once.

Better yet, we keep them on the shelf along with many other supporting items and Tech Tips etc

have you ever recieved your injectors back

Yes I did 3 months later. By that time I already bought some remans from partszoneonline.com I had them looked at by a local diesel shop and they didn't think they were rebuilt at all. I found dirt inside the nozzles. Also the needle inside the nozzle looked worn out. I never expected to see them again. I was shocked they were sent back.
