My son is looking into replacing the DB2 injector pump on his 1993 Mechanical truck. Typically we have a great shop that rebuilds our pumps but he is currently in California Camp Pendleton area. So he would be buying a pump and replacing his old one.
What we are wondering- Who is the best mail order pump out there?
I've never done it through the mail so we have no experience with who does a good job.
Thanks for the advice!!!
I have used these folks many times over the years (They are close to me) great pump shop

They are a Stanadyne shop DB and DS pumps
Find a new military pump on Ebay,switch the 24v shutoff to a 12 volt and you will be good to go.New only,you have no idea on the condition of a take off pump.
"IF" you can find a new MIL PUMP they are great.
You can run JP8 through them suckers...in a pinch...add a bit of engine oil to lube things..
The mil pumps usually had ceramic rollers and other high wear parts that allowed the use of just about anything that will burn.
Local small diesel shop the fella has a couple CUCV Blazers with the mil pumps and he runs them on all the used crankcase oil he gets from the rigs he services.
He keeps the oil clean and filters it before it goes in the rig.
In cold weather he adds a bit of gasoline to thin the stuff out.:eek:
I KNOW...IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE.....DON'T TRY THIS WITH YOUR NEW DMAX :eek:
He has been running his two shop rigs on this goop for over 20 years...
He tosses anything thats burnable in his waste oil tank, Crankcase oil, tranny red juice, power steering oil....probably even some diffy oil too...
The DB2 MIL PUMPS SEEM TO DO FINE....JUST NEED TO FILTER OUT WATER, ANTIFREEZE AND OF COURSE GRIT....:D:D:D
The 1993 had a DB2 4911 pump with a unique head and rotor size to produce the 200-ish HP rating. I would stick with this model if you want to make the rated HP. My rebuilder contact tells me that they don't care for the MIL pumps with hard parts because they tend to be completely wiped out rather than moderately worn.
