I cannot say I've seen the insides of every DB2 injection pump made after 1985.
I CAN say that all those pumps were manufactured by Stanadyne and Stanadyne sent out numerous service bulletins in 1985 annoucing that the plastic ring was no longer being used in any applications for vehicles made for highway use. That includes the GM 6.2s, Ford-IH 6.9s/7.3s and all the militatry 6.2s. Stanadyne also made it required repair policy for any certififed repair shop to retrofit a solid or EID weight retainer into ALL DB2 pumps used on cars and trucks made prior to 1985. Any that got upgraded got a special ID tag attached. Back in 1985, this was a big deal since so many pumps had left trucks "dead on the road." I was working in a pump shop at that time and can say for sure - I have never seen a pump newer then 1985 on a highway vehicle with the plastic.
Besides the Stanadyne bulletins, Ford, GM and the US Army sent out their own versions.
If you claim you have seen different? Please post the pump ID number. I am very interested. For the moment I do not believe it. It IS possible somebody stuck an older pump on a newer engine. The ID plate can tell all.
Bulletins were even sent out to fix the 70s 350 Olds diesels after 1985.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
