Nice , I used this video for my 3126 injectors. You sir are the bob villa of huei injectors.
If a kid is reading this that is a complement.
Alright, I watched this video and part 2 and this gentlemen convinced me that I can rebuild my own injectors. I went online to 406 injectors and it sent me to bitterroot diesel. I ordered the deluxe rebuild kit and the tool. I plan on starting the job tomorrow. I’m old and feeble so I never try to work too quick. I take my time so, it might be a minute, but I’ll let y’all know how it goes.
how’d it end up goin?
@@Wija027 like a charm. I can’t say enough about the rebuild kit from Bitterroot Diesel. I bought the tool that they fabricated for use on the 7.3 injectors and it worked great. I watched the video many times and consulted it many times, but I have no doubt, I could do a set tomorrow. Well, I’m old and slow, it may take 2 or 3 days, but I’m ready. If you’ve got mechanical ability, this is a cakewalk and the results are phenomenal. Highly recommend these videos as a guide and the rebuild kit he uses in the video. You’ll be happy to did.
@@philipbrown6500 I just went on Bitterroot diesel's website and there isn't any picture of the bracket that's used to hold the injector in the vise or the adapter for the socket wrench (3:17min in the video) : are both included when you "add the injector rebuild tool" to the rebuild kit ? Thank you !
@@DYI_SEBASTIEN From the Bitterroot Diesel homepage, when you pass your cursor over the word "products". You will get a dropdown menu.From that dropdown menu, choose the type of engine you're dealing with. When you move the cursor over your choice of engine, you'll either get another dropdown menu seperating your choice further or you won't get anything. If you get nothjng, click on the choice you've made. If you get the drop down menu, choose the appropriate catagory. Whichever you choose will show all of the products available that meet the criteria. The specialty tools should show up on that screen. If not, when you choose the appropriate DIY rebuild kit, any specialty tools available to work on that product will be listed along with all of the parts included. I noticed also, their prices have gone up, but I would still choose this route without a doubt.
@@DYI_SEBASTIEN eveeything you need will be there
Wow what's my cat doing in your video, and those plastic jars I have on my bench too! I have a 01 7.3 too, looks like we have a few things in common. Thanks for the video I appreciate seeing what one of those injectors look like inside. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
This is fantastic thank you for such a great instructional this saved me over $1000and was super easy to do thanks to you
I am truckrental on Ebay . I see you are using my deluxe rebuild kit with tools , and doing a great job showing how to use my kit, but people think that you got then from 409 injectors . They thinks you do not need to shim the injectors armature more than .002" to make them last longer and do not have shims to shim the solenoids to keep the armature from hitting the solenoids. thank you Bob
truckrental how much is the rebuild kit?
truckrental, your deluxe rebuild KIT w/ vice clamp and tools to install.
Is this the shim kit and rebuild kit too? Does it have the outer orings and do these orings hold up to the new shitty fuels?thanks
@@1112223333111 No, they choose to use O-rings that are not compatible with today's fuel. Their O-rings are only to be used if you are running leftover fuel from the 80's.
@@cencoast_7.340 is this true?
Fantastic series, George. Thank you very much!
Absolutely The best video on this subject! Ebay 200 dollars each to do this process!
Were they Ford OEM parts?
Nice vid,
probably the best explanation/tutorial on youtube!
Dang. There are just enough parts to make me nervous. I would have to do some more intense documentation of what goes where to feel safe. Like you said, by the time you get to the 8th injector you will be pretty comfortable. excellent!
Look at 2:20 on the video, as you’re taking it apart the hold down bracket is different than the you reassembled it. The big U shape is opposite of the small U on the injector. Does it make a difference? I ask because I used this video and one other that used this video to rebuild mine and now mine runs worse than before I rebuilt them.
An air blow gun, with about a 4" extended nozzle, will get the intensifier piston out SOOO much easier than trying to beat it out...
You can tell people to use Macs carburetor cleaner, a gallon can comes with a basket. Just let it all soak for an hour or so.
No wonder these damn things are so expensive! Lot to em!
great vedeo mate you are really fucking good!! this caind of the work just for a professional guys like you!! I don't tried opening my injectors!! cheers from Norway
If I had a vise and a nice clean table i'd tackle these since I have a truck with a burnt engine to practice on (bought truck for parts only caught fire under hood didn't really hurt the 7.3)
Awesome video!! I dont know anyone ever told you this. But I felt like Tony Stewart was making this video. You sound so much like him or he sounds like you....
Ok, I'm starting on my 2nd injector and thinking I screwed up! Putting them back together during your second video I'm thinking I must have been mistaken, but you take them apart in this video and put them back together oriented differently in the second. At 3min in, the notch in that body is facing away from you, and the connector is facing towards you. But you put it back together with the notch and everything facing towards you.... Should I pull my first one back out and switch it or keep doing it the same?
Air pressure, that's how to get the plunger out, simple blow nozzle with a little squirt.
Cool vid for the 3126 injector🤘 but its VERY harmfull to the injector nozzle if you wire wheel it 👍
I see you use Talenti Gelato containers for your shop too.
😂
I sentvrebuilt mines ibinspect them
They looks just were clean from outside.
As i seen the dark old oil coming out through the holes.
Is that a sign of they were notveven open ??
Where do you by the rebuild kit from?
Yup I'm out. I thought maybe till we got to the last small pins. I end up with an extra lug nut just replacing a tire. I can't be playing with small pins
The big question is.. Did you have them flow tested?? To make sure they all flow the same cc's?
and pressure test for proper bars
What about the injector nozzle?
those pin holes need to be cleaned?
Has anyone rebuilt their own with a before and after video of engine running?
Hi quick question
I sentvrebult mines injectors BI when i got them i saw the dark old dark cining out from the holes and i m conserning
If they said they rebult them
Looks like the just clean them from outside.
Is normal to see dark old oil coming out
After they were rebuilt.?
Or they might just lie ??
What is the name of the tool you are using to hold the injector in place while you disassemble it
what is the part number for the rebuilt kit for a 1996 7.3 powerstroke?
all over ebay. bitterroot diesel seems to make a quality kit for $270
thanks for the video, too bad you didn't zoom in on the important parts
im just gonna upgrade my injectors to stage 1's
What happens if you put a AE injector in place of a AD?
I have two injectors on bench suspect no change when unplugged. They have a port open on the body ? The third one I have is good and port is closed? Should they be open or closed when sitting on Bench. And what do u recommend
Ond of my plungers was broken, is there any place to order just the plunger itself?
I have a 7.3 1996 with AA 1816187C3 90cc injectors. I want to improve performance, increase engine power. The question is: if I change injectors for another one larger than SERIE AB, AD, BN, BJ, what results will I obtain in performance and diesel consumption. I also want to change the PCM for another. the one I have is DPC-202 which I will replace with a DPC-203, 'DPC-411. what do you think?
Can you buy a rebuild kit to make them a stage 1 because new ones are 1300 i got several injectors laying around i figured I could buy a performance rebuild kit for a set.lmk. ty
Look up bitter root diesel
Cool stuff but using a torque wrench to break loose fasteners is a big no-no.
p51bombay maybe it’s broken or it’s his shitty wrench?
What’s the worse thing that happens to these injectors?
I have never rebuilt nor am I the most versed on these, but typically the poppet valve gets stiction, also solenoids can go out, factory tolerances wear down. You can check your armature plate for that rather easily with a feeler gauge. I believe issues really show when the clearance is less than .002, fresh should be able to clear .004. That is what I learned with the shim kit, but I’ve heard good and bad about that. It did give me some feelers gauges tho, and it did let me identify some very out of spec injectors.
What size is the torx socket? The first one
what chemical do you use in your ultrasonic cleaning tank, if any?
Y does my dt466 doesnt start for over night
Probably your glow plugs are bad. If it is hard to start when plugged in maybe you have a bad injector but you would notice the knock in the motor if it were bad.
Is that a T20 bit to take the solenoid off?
one of the torx looking bits is some euro knock off version you gotta buy the right thing!!!!! not a torx, not sure which bolt it is
Got my first diesel but I believe I have the 7.3 international? Does anybody have a link to rebuilding those injectors
The 7.3 Powerstroke Ford installed in their trucks is an International engine. They are the same injectors.
Yep, same
great job explaining but still way too complex for me...LOL I don't have that much patience
What rebuild kit did you use ? Having trouble finding the web site to purchase the tools ?
You can purchase the best injector rebuild kit and tools on our site bitterrootdiesel.com We ship anywhere in the world!
do you charge to rebuild I will send my injectors to you
Can you redo the whole video but this time be louder so I can hear you?
Where do you get parts? I've searched far and wide for a supplier of injector parts- no luck. Redat SPI, an Italian company with an office in Florida, offers a complete line of injector parts, but they will not even respond to contact attempts. Apparently, they will only deal with high-volume shops, not one-off home repair guys like me. So, as much as I hate this word, powerstroke injector rebuilding is being gatekept. These look like they're a piece of cake to rebuild & there are tons of how-to videos on UA-cam, but literally nobody will sell parts. I'm about to replace the injector seals and would like to do a rebuild on my injectors, but without parts, I just can't. I don't want to drop $1500 on rebuilt injectors when mine are working just fine and I could, in theory, just do a disassemble, & rebuild them myself. It's a very frustrating situation.
Idk if you figured it out yet, but bitterroot diesel sells the kit(injector rebuild and tools). Truckrental(commented above also) on Ebay has the injector shim kit too, which also needs to be done to the solenoid on top.
@@tdotw77 Awesome! Thank you for the information- bc no, I had not found a supplier (beyond injector cups, O-rings, & shims). This will be very handy info to have if/when I get to the point where I must rebuild my injectors. Thank you so much!
You didn't Mark the possession the plunger was in, if you don't it is IMPOSSABLE for it to seat properly, which means the hi pressure will leak past the seat.
Rich, how are you marking the plungers as you remove them? Thanks for the tip.
@@Michael-me4pe: I have a little electric engraving tool, I just make a small line right on top, BEFORE removing it,,, with a small Mark corresponding on the housing.
@@rich1879 I thought that was what you would say. I understand why you do it. Most would never think of this...including me. Over time and miles, that plunger wears into the housing and fits like a glove. If you turn it when reassembling it, it won't fit perfectly like before disassembly. Only exception would be using new plungers, I guess. Thanks again!
@@Michael-me4pe: I didn't have a teacher also, I paid the price learning it myself. BUT HEY that is how we learn the best. BONKERS to the guys that say " it's to complicated, smile.
what are you guys saying? the plunger needs to go in a certain way?
nobody said this in any video
extremely helpful but the volume on this video suxxxxxx
Mines fine
Never use a torque wrench as a regular wrench 🤨
too complicated!
409 injector link is dead
Any idea what would cause one of these injectors to free flow fuel, I pulled one out today that I suspected to be bad and the entire well was full of fuel when I pulled it out
