I have 2 injectors that free flow even disconnected, they've already been cleaned once with a fuel injector cleaner machine and were ok but now are malfunctioning. To replace them I can get some from an auto parts store (O'Reillys, etc) for about $60, used a similar year Chev 3500 for a parts cross reference. They look the same except that they have 4 small spray holes whereas the OE has 1 big hole. I have no idea about flow rates, etc. Can I substitute the aftermarket stuff? Thanks for any knowledge you 'all can throw my way.

I would not use the auto ones unless your sure they supply at same rate. If new and old are installed in a test machine side by side and verify they supply the same amount of fuel. Otherwise you may wind up burning a whole in a piston
