Blew $300 on a reman injector that was DOA

Picked up a rebuilt injector from a place in Denver about 6 months ago because it was half the price of a new one. Sounded fine on the bench but once I got it in the truck it was misfiring like crazy. Spent 4 hours chasing wiring and grounds before I finally swapped it out for a new one. Anyone else burned by reman parts that looked good but failed right out of the box?

Had the same thing with a reman alternator last year. Looked perfect, died in 2 days. Only thing that worked was buying OEM and eating the extra cost.

So @the_miles what brand was the reman you tried? I've had good luck with some remans and total junk with others so I'm wondering if it's a brand thing or just bad luck across the board... I swear some of these rebuilders just clean them up and slap a new sticker on without actually testing them. You ever try to get your money back on one that died that fast? Seems like that should be an easy warranty claim but I've had places fight me on it before.
