7.3 Injector wire rubbers

[Derek@Vision Diesel]

How does a guy find the little rubber seals that go on the electrical side of the injector? Slips over the plug, which is then pushed up into the injector?


I called Ford and they want you to buy all the new wiring.

There are no rubber seals on the injector connectors under the valve cover.

 

[Derek@Vision Diesel]

your mis understanding me then. The electrical plug which supplies all power to the injector, has a rubber seal on it to keep oil out of the connection. I always lose them or misplace them so they never go back on....but i wanted to buy a new set if they were still available.
maybe they arent made of rubber, but they are something close

If you are looking for 8 individual rubber seals for each of the 2 wire injector plugs, Peroni answered the question that you asked.

THEY NEVER HAD THEM.

If you had asked a different question, I am sure you would have gotten a different answer. But you may not have liked that answer either.

Now if you are looking for 1 big oval conecter for a SD, or 2 medium conectors for an OBS, for the UVC harness, find a different parts dealer that knows what they are doing.

The seals at the valve cover are available in a kit that fixes the connector.

Yeah im looking for the seals that physically plug into each injector, they never had seals there?

I guess that is a good thing, because i didnt put any back in there. But i know ive got 3 sitting in the garage that fit on the 8 individual plugs and will slide into the injector and seal nicely

I think what you may have is the seal for the IPR plug. They are similar if not the same as the injector connectors and the IPR ones do have a rubber seal on them. Can you post up a pic?

I had em on my 01

Yeah it is virtually identical to the IPR one. Same shape i believe.

But they work great with the injectors, so if they dont come stock.... why?? I was assuming they came stock, my truck came with them when i got it, i just lost some of them

The injector pigtail is the same as the IPR one.

 

[Derek@Vision Diesel]

Thanks Tom!


So is the consensous that these did not come with rubber seals like the IPR does, from factory?

Mine definitely had them at one point, wish i had more. Its a good idea

I'd be surprised if they didn't. With that much oil getting sprayed around under there you think they'd use a good seal to keep the connections clean. I can't remember if my truck or my spare motor have em, although it seems like they do, but i know on both the connectors had oil in em.

Yeah i wish they had rubbers, but i dont think they do anymore lol!

The early trucks that had the injector connectors with the plastic locking tabs had the rubber seals (like my 94). When they switched to the "bail wire" locking mechanism on the UVCHs, they stopped using them. Cheers!
