You can rebuild them but the problem is you have no way to calibrate them. If you can't calibrate them your flow rates are going to be all messed. Be like setting all your plugs all at a different gap. And in this case you stand a good chance of burning a piston. You might call KDavid. Think at one time he was going to try rebuilding some on that truck he bought. If it's missing you could also have a wiring harness problem on that engine. The harness that is in the valve cover that goes to the injector is soaked in hot oil and susceptible to breaking.
Just as cheap to buy new one and be done with it. Last I bought was $50 or so. Thats been 8 or 10 yr ago so not sure what they are now .

Call Pounder's Repair in Hernando tomorrow and ask for Paul. You can google the number, real good guy and may can help you over the phone letting you know your best options. Honest mechanics are hard to find now days and this guy I recommend, he operates a small shop so speedy repair isn't his strong point, but fast and free advice is always good!
They ain't that cheap anymore..Quote:

Ordered new gaskets, harness is built into them.. whatever I do it's gonna be all 8... what I've been told is you have to replace the 2 springs, balls and all the O-rings to get em right.. the armature plate is only place that has a specific clearance toleranceQuote:

Not Power Stroke injectors. There is a place in North Memphis that does them, trade yours in as coresQuote:

Cray is spot on about the wiring harness on the 7.3. I had one go bad years ago. I believe I would try and trade the old injectors in toward new or rebuilt ones. I feel your pain. My duramax let me down the other day, injector pump went caplooeey. While I was replacing that I went ahead and had the DEF deleted and should have it out of the shop tomorrow. Cost me a pile of minner money.

I've been trying to figure out where I was getting them from back then. They were rebuilt injectors and they were somewhere between 50 and 75. Now for my disclaimer lol my memory could be lieng to me but I don't believe so. It was from a place in Johnson city TN I believe. I'll keep looking through my papers. I've got something on it somewhere.Quote:

I just had the full delete done on my F450 6.7 along with the new 2015 turbo conversion put on it as a preventive measure. It's a totally different truck now, the power gained once you delete that ninth injector and get that engine strangling exhaust off there and straight pipe it is almost unbelievable.Quote:

What about fuel mileage?

Getting 14.6 with just the truck, the service body is loaded with a 225 gallon water tank, generator, drills, bits, tools etc. Probably toting 4500#'s on her back. Pulling a loaded 16' trailer it drops down to around 10.6 mpg. Pretty much the same as before on fuel mileage so far, it's hard to tell. Had a 27 y/o driving this one the last week and half so he probably raw hides her a bit. I must admit, I had to use it to do a job Saturday and it's hard not to drive it you like you stole it at first. That straight pipe diesel sounds good, top it off with the whine of that turbo and it will raise some hairs on the back of some necks. It's tuned all the way down, with the programmer they give you they you can boost the HP to ungodly amounts, so much the drive line won't hold it.Quote:

Hasn't been long enough to see a difference in mileage, but my mechanic said 2-3 miles better per gallon.
