I have been scouring the junk yards for the last few weeks looking for ford diesels; finding only sad, empty shells of what was once an IDI truck
The reason I'm looking for parts is that the truck I purchased was not running when I bought it ($500) because there was gasoline in the fuel. I have heard horror stories about IP's going to h-e-double-hockey-sticks because of gasoline in the diesel, parts grinding to a deadly end. I have also heard of no residual problems, just drain the fuel tank and lines, replace the fuel filters, fill 'er up with diesel and, bam, she's a runner!
My question is this. The ford IDI uses a Stanadyne DB2 IP, and by chance so does the GMC diesel. I have found several GM diesels, and since the yard had a half off sale today I pulled a GMC IP today ($25). What parts interchange between these pumps, if any? If my ford IP is toast, can I use parts from the GMC one to rebuild the Injection Pump?
I have a 1985 F-250 with a 6.9l. I don't currently have the model # from my ford unit, but the stanadyne pump I bought today is:
FO DB2829 4779
Any help in this would be appreciated. Thanx
