Product Description
Restore crisp fueling at elevation with the INDUSTRIAL INJECTION DB2829-4542 High-Altitude DB2 pump for classic Ford IDI diesels. Calibrated for thinner air, this pump helps 6.9L/7.3L trucks and vans maintain drivability, cold starts, and towing manners in mountain regions.
Fitment
- 1983–1987 Ford 6.9L IDI (F-Series & E-Series)
- 1988–1994 Ford 7.3L IDI, including factory turbo and non-turbo (F-Series & E-Series)
- Direct DB2 replacement; High Altitude calibration
What’s Included
- DB2 injection pump assembly (High Altitude spec)
- Warranty: 1 year (see CPP terms)
Why Choose This Pump
- Altitude-ready fueling for cleaner starts and better throttle response above sea level
- Direct-fit DB2 for Ford IDI—no wiring changes, no ECM tuning required
- Built by Industrial Injection—trusted diesel fuel system experts
Recommended Parts (CPP Internal Links)
- Gator Fasteners Head Stud Kit – 6.9L IDI (added clamp load for towing/boost)
- AutoMeter Gauges (add a pyrometer and fuel pressure gauge to protect the IDI)
- AutoMeter 9112 Diesel Tach Adapter (handy for RPM reference on DB2 trucks)
Install Notes

- Bleed air from the fuel system after install; verify fuel supply pressure to the DB2.
FAQ
What does “High Altitude” calibration mean?It’s a DB2 fuel curve and advance profile tuned for operation at higher elevations where air density is lower. The goal is cleaner starts and balanced fueling under load when you live or tow in the mountains.
Will it work on both 6.9L and 7.3L IDI?Yes—this unit covers 1983–1994 Ford IDI applications (F-Series & E-Series). Always confirm your model year and engine before ordering.
Do I need tuning or electrical changes?No. The DB2 is a mechanical pump—installation is mechanical timing and fuel hookup. Verify timing and fuel supply pressure after install.
What gauges should I add?A pyrometer (EGT) and a fuel pressure gauge are highly recommended to keep an eye on exhaust temps and supply pressure to the DB2.
