Shifting bounces between 3 and 4 with hard acceleration
Sounds like a good candidate for excessive a/c voltage from failing diodes. Moving the harness does not fix the issue. I have had a brake switch cause it as well but that is normally while cruising.- jlbayes

The Difference between my front and rear axles from 2 different years.
Your front axle is 100% not from a 1993 truck. On the rear it looks like it has drum backing plates but I cannot tell for sure. If it is drums that axle is not from a 03. -
Installing new injectors
Very little with them cracked as it will not build enough pressure until they are sealed to pop the injector off.- jlbayes

Installing new injectors
I tighten 2, 5 & 6. Leave 1, 3, & 4 just loose enough to let air out. Give it a snort of ether and done. Snug 1, 3, & 4 after it is running.- jlbayes

Installing new injectors
Just trying to ease the feeling that is a super complicated job. A 10mm socket, 3/4 or 19mm wrench, 8mm wrench or socket, and a flat blade screw driver should be all you need tool wise. I understand the age thing. Take a Saturday afternoon and tinker. :happy160:- jlbayes

Need tips, buying my first 2nd gen cummins
Make sure they do not run it before you get there. So you can cold start it. Most issues with these trucks happen on cold start up. Very rarely do I see issues after they are running. If it does not have an aftermarket lift pump knock 1k off the price right away.- jlbayes

Installing new injectors
Yes easily done in a driveway. 200k on my 24v and swapped injectors around multiple times with no leaks etc. 4 sets of injectors with the same set of tubes. Progression through sizes was the only reason I was changing injectors. I am very familiar with these trucks. :driver...- jlbayes

Installing new injectors
There are much better quality injectors at a lower price point than DDP. The connector tubes absolutely do not need to be replaced when swapping injectors either.- jlbayes

RV275 Injectors
I would not buy them from ebay. They are likely to be China crap cast. I have not had to ever replace mine but they were always in great shape.- jlbayes

RV275 Injectors
3 or 4. Takes me about an hour to do them. 2 to 3 hours for a first timer. Make sure to get new connector tube orings as well. I pull the lines off the pump as it is easier than trying to fight them and the connector tubes. The lines come off in two 3 piece sets.- jlbayes

RV275 Injectors
Being as this truck has a hy35 I would not. If it was an hx35 I would say go for it.- jlbayes
