XDP Launches Remanufactured Fuel Injectors for Ford 7.3L and 6.0L Diesel Engines

Xtreme Diesel Performance (XDP) has recently launched remanufactured fuel injectors for Ford 7.3L and 6.0L diesel engines. Each injector is precision remanufactured to ensure it exceeds the engine manufacturers’ most current design specifications, resulting in less than o.2 percent warranty rate. 

Each injector features improved end cap assemblies to help fix cold start issues. The nozzle flow testing process gives the injector a like-new performance. 

In the auto aftermarket the term "remanufactured" refers to parts that have been completely remanufactured to the standard of being like new. For those sensitive to environmental concerns, it's useful to know that remanufactured parts use 80% less energy than manufacturing parts from scratch. The process also conserves raw materials. 

XDP fuel injectors include all new connectors, O-rings, internal hardware, and springs, with the intensifier body and plunger matched to eliminate fuel dilution. A precision matched control valve and spool help to minimize oil leakage and maximize power output. 

XDP replacement fuel injectors are designed for…

• • 1997 FORD 7.3L POWERSTROKE (CALIFORNIA MODELS)
• • 1999 FORD 7.3L POWERSTROKE (EARLY MODELS)
• • 1999.5-2003 FORD 7.3L POWERSTROKE
• • 1999.5-2003 FORD 7.3L POWERSTROKE (#8 LONG LEAD)
• • 1994-1997 FORD 7.3L POWERSTROKE
• • 2004.5-2007 FORD 6.0L POWERSTROKE
• • 2003-2004 FORD 6.0L POWERSTROKE

Fuel injectors are small electrical components that are used to deliver fuel via a spray directly into the intake manifold in front of the intake valve in a diesel engine. 

Diesel fuel injectors are quite complicated. The injector has a high micron filter on the top inlet side which corresponds to small hypodermic sized holes on the bottom for the atomizing of the diesel fuel. 

The diesel fuel acts as a lubricating source for the injector’s internal parts. The main source of failure for injectors is water in the fuel. When water in the fuel displaces the lubricating properties the internal parts wear down and can quickly fail.

Injectors are an extremely important engine component. The injector valve opens and closes at the same rpm as the diesel engine. Typical RPM for diesel engines in North America is around 1800. This equates to roughly 140,000 times per hour! In addition to water in the fuel, injectors are subjected to carbon and dirt particles introduced into the unit via a bad air cleaner element. 

The type of fuel, grade and additives used also has a significant impact on the life expectancy of the fuel injector. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fuel injectors in most electrical diesel engines. The diesel injectors constantly have power when the key is turned on regardless if the engine is turned over. 

The ECM grounds the injector, completing the circuit and causing the injector nozzle to open. The ECM after receiving information from various control sensors determines the length of time the injectors need to be grounded to inject the exact amount of fuel given the horsepower output demand from the engine.

The process of diesel injectors opening, closing, and dispensing the correct amount of fuel happens in milliseconds. Injector cycle firing is on average completed in 1.5 to 5 milliseconds. 

Diesel fuel injectors come in different shapes and sizes depending on the engine make and model as well as power demand. Automotive injectors are quite a bit smaller than heavy-duty diesel applications and are measured in cubic inches. 

There are two types of diesel fuel injectors: the first is called throttle body injection where 1-2 injectors are in the throttle body itself in the diesel engine and supply a metered amount of mist fuel spray into the intake manifold.  The second delivery system, known as individual port type fuel injector, is newer and more fuel efficient.

Just in Time for Christmas: The 2020 XDP Diesel Performance Catalog

When I was young my dad would bring home a three-inch thick Sears Catalog with the toy section bookmarked. That was fun. Our eyes would get wide as we perused those pages, making our little Christmas lists for Santa. 

Today, our interest has turned to big boy toys. Maybe we don't believe in Santa anymore but we can still make Christmas list ideas, can't we? 

I mention all this by way of introduction to this guest post by The Car Guy.

The 2020 XDP Diesel Performance Catalog.

Looking back; the advent of catalog shopping brought emerging trends, products, and technologies as a new marketplace for the consumer. It comes as no surprise that the pioneer of catalog merchants was likely Benjamin Franklin who, like Amazon today, first sold books by mail back in 1744.

But it wasn’t until the post-Civil War era when Aaron Montgomery Ward cut out the middle-man pricing by taking manufacturer discounts straight to the mail order consumer. While his focus was on anything sold in his stores, it was more of the enterprising spirit of Richard Warren Sears and his partner Alvah C. Roebuck, who added Christmas specific items in the form of decorations, lights and trees to their catalogs at the turn of the century.

The very first Sears Wish Book, known as the Sears Christmas Book catalog, came out in 1933. Featured items in this first catalog included the “Miss Pigtails” doll, a battery powered toy automobile, a Mickey Mouse watch, fruitcakes, Lionel electric trains, a five-pound box of chocolates, and live singing canaries.

But that wasn’t their first. The 1896 Sears general catalog included wax candles for Christmas trees. The 1898 Sears catalog added Christmas cards, and the first Christmas tree ornaments appeared in 1900. Sears began selling Christmas stockings and artificial Christmas trees in 1910. Electric Christmas tree lights made their debut in the catalog two years later.

The 1933 Christmas Book catalog started a tradition that made the Sears Wish Book an American icon. The Sears catalog and the name Wish Book were closely linked over the years. Prior to 1933, Sears customers often affectionately referred to the large, semi-annual, general catalogs Sears issued as the “Wish Book” or “Book of Wishes.” 

Many people nostalgically think of the Wish Book as filled with nothing but toys. The 87-page 1933 Christmas Book catalog featured 25 pages of toys and 62 pages of gifts for adults. In 1968, the Wish Book totaled 605 pages, with 225 pages devoted to toys and 380 pages to gifts for adults.

A discussion of Christmas catalogs would be incomplete without an exploration of Neiman Marcus, famous now for not only operating snooty department stores but also for publishing an annual catalog of the outrageous in Christmas gift giving.

Neiman Marcus launched their catalog as far back as 1926 but it wasn’t until a radio interview with radio legend Edward R. Murrow asking Stanley Marcus if the store would be offering anything unusual that might interest his radio listeners; Marcus invented on the spot an offering of a live Black Angus bull accompanied by a sterling silver barbecue cart, subsequently altering the catalog to include his new idea, priced at nearly $2000. In 2005 they offered a private concert with Elton John for $1.5 million.   

Toys and gifts for adults are still really popular. Check out the 2020 XDP Diesel Performance Catalog.
