so, my injector pump started leaking, and i took it all apart and i went down to caterpillar and bought an o-ring that fit the pump head. put it all back together and it ran perfect for a few days, then started leaking again, i have done this before on my old truck and it never leaked again. but the last time they gave me a brown o-ring that cost 12 bucks, it was a really good o-ring. i told the guy at caterpillar i wanted the good o-ring, not the regular black one. but assured me that it was a good one instead of a run of the mill black one, i think he lied to me. because i believe now that the diesel fuel ate it up and made mushka out of it. i dont know how much this o ring cost, but anywasy what im getting at is where can i get just an o-ring for it besides buying a 75 dollar rebuild kit? i know the one that comes in the kit is a green o-ring. what kind of rubber is the oring made of that comes with the rebuild kit? they call it something like buna rubber right?

 

or is it viton? what is the best kind?

 

not sure what kind of material the o-ring is made of but it's some kind that can hold up to diesel fuel. the VE rebuild kit comes with a new o-ring (the big green one) and can be had at a fuel injection shop. the kit's part number is DGK-121 and should only run you about $16.

 

If it is the trucks in his signature, they are both P-Pumps.
Not sure about the kits on those.

he did say "pump head" in his post but i didn't notice his sig listing the 2nd gens. guess we'll see what he replies with haha

Wow I hope it wasn't for a VE

Ya the ve reseal kit I priced was 75 bux, I looked at the cat reciept this time the o ring this time cost <2bux, it wasn't the good stuff and I know diesel eats the regular cat o rings it's strange that the caterpillar guy gave me that cheap o ring when I told him I needed a good one... This is on my ve pump by the way

 

find a different shop. $75 for a reseal kit is about 5x the price i paid for mine, which was $16. find a bosch dealer and maybe a cummins as a last resort. don't pay $75 for that reseal kit.

 

i found one kit from a different shop for 59.99? im going to call the ford dealer rght now

 

ford dealer says... HUH?? idk what to do where did yall get yours from? it would be heaper to order out of state and have it fed exed to me than that!

 

did you try Coastal diesel injection service 316 289 6033

 

ford definitely won't have a clue. look in your local yellow pages under "fuel injection" to find a fuel injection shop. call and ask them if they are a bosch dealer. $59 is still on the very high side for a VE reseal kit. as i stated before, i only paid $16 for mine.

 

ya,coastal diesel is where i got the last kit from for 75 bux, are you from around here? i know lj and jimmy well, their prices are usually competitive.. so when i bought the kit i didnt think twice. anyays. ummmmm any better ideas?

 

My local Napa guy got me a reseal kit for 17 bucks!! These engines were never in Furds... But they are a very popular swap for obvious reasons !!
