[QUOTE="gnxtc2, post: 1090846, member: 1414"] I dropped an email to Alliant Power when I discovered the oring issue. This the response I got (from latest to earliest) Hi Billy, I read the post, interesting. From your first question I was assuming you were using Alliant Power O-rings, by the post it sounds like you are using International/Navistar. We do not supply International/Navistar and we have not seen the issue you are having with the upper seals. It is accurate that high mileage seals will show some slight distortion of the square backup ring at the seam location in the metal ring but nothing as drastic as what is seen in those pictures and should not show any issue with the O-ring itself. I hope this has been helpful.

I also posted pictures of the failed o-rings.

We have not changed the source of the seals used on our 7.3L injectors in the recent past, in fact we have been using the same source for these seals since the beginning of the program. We also have not seen an influx of seal related warranty claims to indicate there is any type of problem going on. If I can be of any other assistance, please let me know. Thanks again Best Regards, Matt Heacox 866.283.1785 Description: AP-Signature A Diesel Forward Company -----Original Message----- From: [email]gnxtc2@aol.com[/email] [mailto:gnxtc2@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 3:50 PM To: Alliant Power Sales Subject: General question - Injector o-rings Contact language: English Sender's Details: Name - Billy Triantafillou Email - [email]gnxtc2@aol.com[/email] Phone - United States (+1) 201-774-3428 Category - General question Subject: Injector o-rings Message: Lately there is an issue with 7.3 (T444E) injector o-rings failing. There are numerous occurences that the o-rings failed within 10k miles or sometimes sooner. There have been instances where the o-rings failed within 2 months of installation. Has there been a source or manufacturing change? Thank you Billy T [/QUOTE]
