Mixedbreed's '05 F-350 upgrade thread

ok so second HPOP held better pressure but still has a hot no start condition so into teh engine again.


tore it down to the valves only. checked every o ring. turns out the...... injector O rings were bad. how a 4 month old o rings can go bad i do not know...

well i am in talks with the injector builder as i do not believe they replaced these when they built and sent them to me. i hope we can work something out because $2.40 worth of o rings cost me about 500$ today.


truck is running and strong at that. no leaks and lots of oil pressure!

That sucks Dave! Hopefully you can get some $$$ out of the injector guy for this mistake. Glad you found the issue and got it back on the road. Next stop the quarter mile!

Good to see it running good again What a PITA though

The company I bought them from talked to the builder. He messaged me personally asking for a phone call.

I called him today; he asked where I stood with the repair. I told him they were rebuilt and the truck was running. He then asked what O ring company I got new rings from, I told him, he was happy.
He then asked how much I was out for the labor to swap them and the cost of O rings. He is sending me a refund for that amount... very very very stand up in my book!


Turns out a company that makes the O ring packs, screwed the pooch during a batch or two. They caught most of them, but not all. He said he has refunded about 3-4000$ to customers so far..
