Thanks for posting that, my truck is a 2000 but the engine was built 19 aug 99 in Indianapolis serial number 1113142. So it looks like I probably don't have a LL in #8. I have had my valve cover off 2 times and never checked.
I hope not..

This S/B covers all you need to know. My truck didn't have a sticker on the VC anymore due to wear and tear. But it did have a LL injector. I verified it when I did my glowplugs a few weeks back.

Not really. 
I would have been nice if they had mentioned any Brazilian serial number cut-in, and even better if they had included the build date of serial number 1311241.

Yeah, you got a point. You wonder if they got the memo in Brazil...

Because they are restoring the entire fuel system to International's original design, not Ford's.
Not EVERYBODY is doing so, however.
I'm not. But I'm not even sure I have one installed, which was the exercise of this thread.

I'm picturing a bunch of monkies at Ford HQ standing around with a football and nothing to do. Could they have reversed engineered the 7.3 L any more if their lives depended on it. Instead of solving a problem correctly, they throw in some half cocked idea that only makes matters worse. Which additionally causes more problems yet. Oh well, at least we didn't take the bail out money. Boy I do miss my old 6.9, kind of.
