Good article/manual for a DB-2 pump

[Kevin 007]

I have this file saved on my computer that I refer to whenever im troubleshooting a DB-2 pump issue. I had to look it up again today to help with a pump that im having governor issues with (I think), and meanwhile; I thought others may also like to have this on file.

Hope someone else finds it worthwhile!!!

Always good to see this thing pop back up for newer members who don't have it, but it has been posted here a few times now. =P

Thanks for sharing. This is a great resource and can definitely help you understand the basic workings of a DB2. Just be aware that there are quite a few differences between what is shown here and the version of the pump our trucks use. The light load advance, min-max governor, and cold start advance are three major differences I noted after just a quick look and there are a lot of small differences as well.

It also states that the fuel filters should filter 75-80% of 5 micron particles. So I always wonder why 7.3 trucks are factory equipped with a 10 micron filter... The 6.9 filters are a 5 micron however. Does anyone seem to notice longer pump life with 6.9s equipped with factory filters over the 7.3s with the 10 micron?

I run a 2 micron filter 33815 WIX I am currently getting 26.6 mpg
Verified about 2 hours ago, I ****** out my tank to find the
needle in the haystack.
