2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
Yes it's running. She ended up short on cash so we got the replacement Bosch HPOP that supposedly (and appeared to) come with a new case as well as internals. Some new gaskets, o-rings, a new pigtail for the alternator and IPR, and it's running better than it has in a couple of years she says... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
New gasket came in today. Guess I now have something else to do this weekend. -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
The STC fitting didn't have a lot of slop in it. Do they sell just the internal o-ring, or is it only the piece that bolts on top of the HPOP and snaps in that they sell? And I understand gaskets can be cheap, but the rubber valve cover gaskets seem to hold up rather well and there's no reason... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
Follow up question, do I need to change the o-ring/gasket on the HPOP cover, or can I re-use the old one (I know about the RTV in the corners). Also, turbo drain tube o-rings? Change out or leave alone? And last, the internatl o-ring in the STC fitting (03 truck). If there's no visual issue... -
steering column interchange?
I've never looked at the difference in the 7.3 and early 6.0 models. Do the plugs match up? If they do, it would be worth a shot, but lots of wiring changed when they went to the newer motor, so who knows. -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
I haven't taken a close look, but now that I know the EGR cooler won't be going back in, I did glance under the hood to see how hard/easy it would be to remove the passenger side up pipe. Just glancing at it, it appears to have a heat shield tack welded to the pipe. I guess just pop that off... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
Thanks. I saw the RTV when I pulled the cover and my first thought was it had been replaced before. What's the reasoning behind only needing a dab in the corners and the gasket works the rest of the way around? Is something machined wrong? Doesn't make much sense as to why most of the gasket... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
Tell me more about the newer style intake manifold if it's a benefit. Do the old ones fail? If so how? What are the benefits to the new one? Is it just a direct bolt in? New gaskets required? -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
I'm not sure why you think the pump is very easy to change if the EGR fell off. I'm not sure about the EGR on this one as she hasn't made up her mind yet, but compared to the 7.3 HPOP, this thing is a nightmare. I've heard rumors that the 03 pump cases were prone to cracking after 150k -... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
I'm not saying the adrenaline is bad, but this is a kid paying for it that just bought her first house. They tried to get a new truck and were turned down on the financing end because money was too tight. Truck is stock and a few hundred dollars they don't have to spend will really go a long... -
2003 HPOP without breaking the bank
What are the reliable HPOP replacement options out there for an 03 model? I know to try and avoid stock rebuild. Bob Riley is proud of his, and I believe Swamps is even prouder. Is Joey good with the T500 on the 6.0? I've got the pleasure of trying to fix the nieces truck. Air test had... -
Oil Percent Life?
Does the 17 not have the option of running the vehicle health report that gives you oil percentage life left? That's a lot of oil changes. I usually change my oil every 6 weeks or so and thought I changed mine a lot.- F350-6

OBS Motor in A Superduty
Water pump should be fine. Just depends on if you have the one with the bent extension or not, then it's just the matter of using a different hose. -
Tune questions
That's good to hear. What rear end do you have? I've got 3.55 and can't seem to average 16 currently.- F350-6

Tune questions
50% off would be nice, but don't worry. You'll get the call when the time draws near. I'm still trying to decide between EGR block off or ****** too.- F350-6
