on the 89 ctd engine?

 

Is there a word or two missing in your question?

JP.

 

The one with all the steel lines going to it just above the power steering pump.

 

I mean the name. Like the 93 ctd uses the VE pump (right?) which is the one for the 89 year? VP? I know it but I just can't recall.

Thank You.

 

Oh, yeah. All 1st gens ('89-'93) use the Bosch VE pump.

 

Thank You that is what I wanted to know. Now I know the pump on the first gen I'm buying is leaking a spot of fuel when parked and seems to be seeping from a bolt or the throttle shaft? Where can I find a kit to replace this seals? The engine has 220k miles but I don't think the pump has that many miles on it so I will try and replace the seal here until I can spend money to just have it rebuild. Any way to find a bosch shop in My area? I'd like to know so when the time comes I just take My pump and have it rebuild.

Also what other upgrades can I make on the pump? I know of the 366 spring and I reading the article on this one too. Anything else I can do to the pump to squeeze a few HP out of it? I'm not building a race horse but a pulling machine.

Thank You.

 

Yes read the sticky at the top of the page for 1st gen trucks. scroll down and look under performance. you can

bump timing
adjust fuel screw (main power screw)
turn fuel pin to deep side OR grind on it yourself
adjust star wheel
smoke screw adjustment

theres all kinds of stuff you can do in your driveway. just read and read on here under the stickies and youll have a good running truck.

 

You can get a seal kit from any Bosch pump shop.

Look in the phone book for places with names like "Fuel Injection of Rockville." Most any shop that rebuilds pumps and injectors will be able to hook you up. If the phone book search doesn't turn anyplace up, got to a big truck shop and ask them where they send pumps for rebuild.

 

Thank You both. I've been reading the sticky for some time now, some things are hard to place while don't have the pump right here with Me but I'm going to tow the truck home today and see if I remember what I read. The reason I ask is if I do one mod and I need to open the IP might as well do all the others so I don't need to get in to it again. I will take pictures of this pump since it looks to Me it was replaced some time ago.

Thank You.
