Cheap Trick To A Quieter Healthier Ford 7.3 Turbo Powerstroke ! MUST SEE !! READ The Description!!!

UPDATE: READ: I made the video on what someone told me. Then I found out.....
*The "drain holes" are actually the inlet and outlets to the reservoir. I tried to keep it simple. Basically what is happening is that you are putting fresh oil (and/or oil additive) closet to the injectors in a simple way. This flushes them and the reservoir of any build up in my opinion. My bus engine sat up for years before I installed it. I'm nowhere near a certified diesel mechanic. I'm going by the information passed to me. When I did it the engine and injectors quieted down significantly. I did it one more time when I changed the whole engine oil. and added 1:1 ratio of injector cleaner. And continue to see a big difference. I encourage everyone to do their own research.*

Wrong or right I just love how he’s having a cigarette doing this video

[@seattlefishing4240]

I did this to my 1995 7.3 yesterday along with a regular oil change and it did work. Truck was at least 30% quieter than it has been in the last 10 years. I took it on a 10-mile drive today and it stayed the same. We shall see how long it lasts. I would recommend trying this.

[@amandaborah7000]

I use an empty Lucas bottle for refilling the hpop, holds a qt and the plastic tip fits perfect in the fill hole.

[@larryharshman9656]

I also do that every oil change. Clock is reaching 230,000. Originator injectors and motor runs smooth as silk. Also added shackles to all four leaf springs, rides as good as my Armada (no more coffee spills on my shirt). Hydra chip works great, I love the pedal response. Original paint and interior, no rust on top or bottom (solid Florida F-250 extended cam short bed 4x4).

[@kevinmcbride1614]

I didn’t know about doing this when changing the oil in my truck until I saw this video. I have a 1997 F-250 with 263k miles. I was sure that I had some injectors going bad or something because the truck would blow a lot of smoke when starting it up cold. It would idle rough when first started and smoke out the driveway. After I did this procedure a couple times, the truck is running so much better! The smoke is gone! It idles just as smooth as can be even if it’s been sitting for days. I don’t mind the clatter of a diesel, but it is a little quieter now too. I appreciate you posting this video. It absolutely makes a difference and doesn’t cost anything to do!

[@FreeRangeNomad]

Here is another trick to make that truck and any others last way longer.... My dad and I have done this forever on all our vehicles. We get 300K-400K miles out of them.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eckpiqjtNgqpI

[@tomoconnor7528]

For everyone to know. Yes this does help. The problem is really the injector solenoid clearances. The oil does help to be changed in the top just to get out the crap in the reservoir. They make a shim kit to resolve the problem. Or you have a leaking o ring. 7.3 injector never really go bad unless you beat the living f--- out of the thing.

[@toddsantora4399]

Awesome info!!! I always wondered about that dam hpop resovoir!! My truck has 400,000 on it and I have never done it!! I will now be doing it. Thank you sir!

[@biodveghead9535]

Totally works and very true... The rate at which the oil in the reservoir is completely cycled or changed during normal operation is around 6to1 versus the rest of the engine. After a long road trip, or hard run, it takes just a few minutes to cycle thru a few clean runs thru the HPOP.

[@vincentsumner5232]

Where do you get that ratio?

[@miloslavbritovic1012]

Old oil at the 2:30mark and after the oil change at the 9:55 mark. Really is a significant difference. I’ll be doing to it my ‘01 with 262000 miles on it.

[@contacttimbre]

Great video. I just picked up a 94, Low miles and very well taken care of but this will be one of the first things I will do to it.

Definitely worth the extra time

[@seekrepair5887]

By comparing 2:34 and 10:04, I can clearly hear a difference. Thank you. Well done, sir. My two cents for the comments section: Any reservoir, by nature, has the ability to collect sediment. In theory, if you wanted to go the extra mile, one could try flushing the reservoir with mineral spirits or something similar. I wouldn't start the truck during the flush...just fill/evacuate with the flushing agent a few times before final oil fill. Bonus points if you can figure out a way to agitate the flushing mixture inside the reservoir.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

It was more noticeable in when I did the bus engine. This was because that engine sat up not running for 2 yrs. before I freshened it up and install it. It's a 1995 engine in a 98 bus.

[@stephenlane7951]

Thanks for letting others know about this. I have been doing this for years to get as much of the dirty oil out during my oil change as I can

[@FreeRangeNomad]

Yes. Simple oil changes and or additives don't always get to the injectors and clean out the gunk in the hpop resv. . This is like a straight shot.

[@PasoGirl7]

My favorite additive prior to the oil change is Sea Foam....Clean, clean, clean!

The vans engine is buried in the engine bay with the air intake shrouding the whole top of what's left in there. Of course it's going to be quieter than the open engine pick up truck. Bleeding out the hpop oil is a must for longevity. Add some Prolong to it also.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

The audio on the gopro didn't do the video justice. But it did work. Actually did it twice. Engine had sat up for two years before I installed it in bus. So this cleaned out sludge in reservoir. Also almost direct shot to injectors for cleaning. Engine is 1995 in 1998 bus.

Yes I would do this every oil change at 12000 miles and repeat til clean oil in pulled out and you will never have black oil again if done properly. Sold my 7.3 at 327 thousand miles with a oil change due. Clean oil,also if a automatic transmission is feels like it's not in gear when slowing down shift hard in the gear's may need a converter the fin break

[@gernblanstien4968]

It's like this... (oil pans) scavenge from the bottom , that's why all the "engine oil" circulates. But the HPOP res doesn't feed from the lowest point... It's like trying to stir up a gallon of metalic paint with a 6" screw driver. As mixed as it might seem, the thick / heavy crap is all stagnant more or less. The worse someone lets the oil get, the worse the molasses effect gets. Also, so many 7.3's are driven like a Honda accord, drop the kids off at school, and 15 minutes later, parked ... It takes a LONG while for the 4 gallons of oil to reach running temp, (and trust me, it can idle all day and the oil will not reach top temp, only the water will, maybe) .I run a 2qt Amsoil bypass filter on mine, Rotella T6, and between 10,000 mile oil changes, I do a main oil filter change & vacuum out the HPOP res then top it off fresh, sometimes with a few ounces of PRO BLEND racing concentrate in the HPOP.. At 250k miles, my HPOP tests (with 12v jumped to the ipc) at over 3700 psi. So the HPOP oil does "exchange" as we see it flow from the injectors into the pan, but it's not circulating with enough current. It's a FOMOCO version of the La Brea Tar Pits...

[@Evan_Floyd]

So does the oil in the hpop stay in there or will it circulate out when the truck runs? This seems to be a good method for putting injector oil additives in to get the the injectors faster too.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

The "small holes" are the inlet and outlet ports. Check the description of this vid for corrections. Yes, the oil does circulate through the engine. But sludge builds up at bottom of reservoir if engine sat along time or no maintenance. When I made the video I was going by what someone told me. I did all three of my 7.3 engines a 2nd time (with oil changes) I dumped a 1:1 ration of injector cleaner in there. This gives about as close as you can get to a straight shot to the injectors to flush them out. That really made a difference in all three.

[@Evan_Floyd]

@@FreeRangeNomad can't argue with the results either. It did run quieter

[@seanoleary1979]

Only for the high pressure 'oil side' of the injector which, along with an electrical pulse, makes it function. For the fuel side, put additives in the TANK!

[@endoftheroadforge]

I do that but I go a little further after pull and replace the oil each time I let the truck idle for 3 to 5 minutes. Then I repeat it up to 6 times till the oil looks cleaner. If you don't you aren't getting all the oil that is still in your heads and injectors. Plus every other oil change I do this and add Hot shot secret stiction eliminator. I have a 01 f350 7.3L with 275,000 miles on it with original injectors and no work done to the motor besides a water pump.

Bus engine is actually a 95 engine in a 98 bus..Truck is a 97. Note: Read description for corrections. At time of video I was going by what a trusted friend told me. Saw a big difference in the bus and thought I would share it. The bus engine sat up for almost 2 yrs without running before I put it in bus. Therefore the build up of sludge in hpop reservoir. Tried to keep it simple. Bus made way more difference than truck did. Truck was maintenced regularly. Bus engine..not so much.

[@craigcricket7932]

The way I understand this system, if I drain the oil, the oil in the reservoir you are sucking oil out of, does "Not" Drain. It stays in there. So, you never get a "Fresh" oil change, because the oil in that reservoir will contaminate the clean oil. It is about a quart of old oil. So ...I am glad you showed me the video. I think when I change the oil, I should also suck out the oil in that reservoir. Does my thought seem right? I'm fairly new to the 7.3. I have (2). '97 and '99. Thank you.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

Read the video description. More info there.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

I feel the more old oil and any sludge deposits you can get out of an engine of and engine the better during oil change.

[@aarondavis8652]

That's why your oil stays black even afyer a new oil change.

[@aarondavis8652]

I always remove a qt and add a qt. Rinse and repeat about 4 times and you'll start to hear the difference in idle and throttle response. The last qt I remove I put half a at oil and the rest add prolong. Works magic on my engine.

[@johndunn678]

the 7.3 holds about 3 quarts up top in the injector system, 1 quart in the reservoir and 1 quart in the oil injection passages of each head.

[@andrewb9708]

You do realize that the second you fire it up, the lpop will pump dirty oil into the hpop reservoir completely defeating the purpose of doing this. Unless you're changing your engine oil at the same time, this makes no sense. Even then, it has little to no benefit.

[@FreeRangeNomad]

Yes, This should be done after a new oil change and before starting it up when the rest of the oil is being changed. Tried to keep it short and simple. Attention span on most YT vids is about 3-5 mins. Yes the drain holes are the inlet and outlet ports. If adding an injector cleaner etc. It's best IMO to add it straight into the reservoir.

IDK if or where a person could find a new one. Then its the junk yard search. Maybe put a little lubricant of some sort on it and let it soak in. Good luck. You can always remove the top of the reserv to clean it. But then you're looking at a new gasket etc.

I can actually here the stock turbos winding up now.

YOu didn't run it long enough to get that oil into the injectors or anything else.

Yes I did. Video edited for length. This was done to clean sludge at bottom of reservoir on an engine that had been sitting without running for about 2 yrs. Check out the description.
