Ford 7.3 powerstroke diesel High pressure pump H-pop

[@johnmclaren7059]

Ron was a true journeyman of his trade, his knowledge and passion inspire not only myself but other 7.3 owners to keep our trucks going! I watch Ron’s videos and always give a thumbs up👍R.I.P. Ron 🔧

[@jamesb1988]

Man, I miss Ron. No stupid intro, no awful music, no wasted time. Ron was all business, a blue collar straight shooter that this world is in desperate need of. Every Ford diesel mechanic should aspire to be like Ron.

[@leekennedy2841]

A true legend!! You are definitely missed, you would be amazed at how many trucks you have helped fix from heaven!! Rest in peace and thank you for sharing so much knowledge.

Lee, brother you are sooo right my friend. I'm a owner of a 2000 F-350 7.3l and still own it and still runs great. I was new to Ron's channel when the accident happened, my heart sunk! Ron was soon the only one who i watched for his expertise on the workings of diesel trucks. I really miss this guy, almost makes me cry just thinking about it 😢. Gone way to early 😢 😞 Have a Blessed night my friend. ~Jay~ 🕊🕊🕊

For removing the oil lines, in a pinch for time I just bought a door panel removal tool from the parts store and ground out between the "forks" to make it wide enough to slide over the fitting. Worked like a charm for $10

[@garrettdaman1227]

damnit, every time, literally every time i need help looking up something i come back to Ron. No disrespect at all, i just get so sad when the only person that i feel understands what im dealing with or can answer my question based on some off handed comment he makes during a video is Ron. I wish you were still with us, bless you and your children, you wont be forgotten.

[@JoeJames-k3e]

couldn't get the hpop gear to go on with my hands. Finally figured to use the nut like a press. Worked like a charm.

[@mattketchum1809]

Note for those attempting this job: -The Snap On 1 1/8 deep well socket is one, if not the only, socket that can remove the IPR probe. The end of the probe has a length/OD that clashes with the inside of most other deep well socket brands. -It will likely take multiple cycles of your engine turning over before it will start. And even after it starts, the next time you go to start it, it may struggle again. It takes about 50 miles to really get all of the air out of these oil lines to insure smooth starting. I have seen it clear up in less, just give it time. -Use this time to clean out your EBP sensor (connected to the cover plate that you remove to access the pump drive gear bolt). Be careful of damaging the diaphragm in the sensor. The tube it connects to also gets clogged with soot. -Oil your O rings before install. -Recheck your torque on the two rear bolts that mount the HPOP after you torque the drive gear. This drive gear bolt once torqued can pull the HPOP in tighter, and then required the rear bolts to be re torqued.

[@pilgrim666butters]

Jesus are you serious. I went to harbor freight and got a 1 1/8 half inch drive impact socket, and yes it is not long enough to seat on the IPR. All i had to do was drill out the inside of the socket so it would slide past the IPR stem further.... sometimes thinking works. Everything else you commented on was valuable info tho.

[@mattywho8485]

I used a Craftsman deep 1 1/8" (from back in the day when they were made in the USA) and it worked fine, actually had depth to spare. The last sentence of your comment doesn't make any sense, how the hell is tightening the drive gear bolt going to "pull the HPOP in tighter" ???? If the drive gear bolt pulled the gear tight against the walls of the HPOP reservoir (which is what would have to happen if it were to pull the pump tighter) the gear wouldn't turn !!! All tightening the gear bolt does, is pull the gear tight to the pump shaft, it has nothing to do with the mounting of the pump.

Dirty part? That's what you got out if it? The internal looked spotless to me. I almost never clean a part externally unless the internal area is contaminated. I do always clean the entire engine and engine bay once I'm done.

[@mattywho8485]

Do yourself a favor and put a piece of tape around the metal tube that he loosens the nut on @ 7:15 to keep it from sliding down the tube. Mine slid down into the pedestal that holds the A/C compressor, MAJOR pain in the ass to retrieve it !! Actually, this whole job was a pain in the ass !

My HPOP came apart and shot all of the pump parts into the valley of the motor. I was wondering is this a common problem or just a random issue? Also, what would cause this? I have not removed the pump yet to see if there was any type of failure in the housing.

[@elliotknight2215]

Great video! Any tips on putting it all back together or starting up the truck once the HPOP is in. I just did mine and I have cranked it over for a total of about 8 minutes (stopping every 20 sec) and still no start...not even a sputter. Got a few bubbles out of the HPOP reservoir every time I open it. No sign of any leaks, topped up the oil rail through the ICP hole and still nothing. Is there a special startup procedure after all this is done?

[@jefferyedstrom2418]

I am working on a 98 7.3. With an oil leak at the high pressure fuel pump. Would you just change out the gasket if the engine is a Reviv rebuild and trust the pump. It was a complete motor they bought.

[@travisblythe4677]

I have a 2002 7.3 and it just started bogging down and shut off. it won't start at all now. I changed my cam shaft position sensor and icp also my idm. i made a fitting to go where the icp goes and put air to it and you can feel air from the oil fill tube and the oil reservoir up top. you can also hear it bubbling in there. bad o ring somewhere?

[@rambo48816]

Awesome video! Helped me do the hpop on my 03 e350 van. Well almost done got all the bolts out the pump wiggles but can't get it out yet.

What socket is that you pulled the ipr out with I can't find it on the snap on website

[@andrewstevens9160]

Hey I have a question. It looks like my 7.3 is leaking oil down the back of the oil pan extremely slow it's not even dripping on the ground. Looks like some oil might be dripping down my oil filter also. Do you have any points on where to look for the leak? I also have a coolant leak at the same time I already found that. Please give me some pointers on where the oil might be leaking. Thank you

[@n9878f]

Hey Ron, I'm having a big problem with my 2015 f450 6.7 powerstroke. The truck keeps blowing off the fuel return lines after the injectors. There is no blockage going back to the tank and the truck only has 12,000 miles. Ford serviced everything including fuel and air already. It's throwing a p0088 code. The dealership made it clear there is no def contamination but they are blaming me for bad fuel. We fueled 10 of my powerstrokes that day at the same pump and no problems with any others whatsoever. I took a sample of the fuel out of the 2015 f450 and I'm going to get it tested. They also said they had it fixed 2 times and I drove 2 miles from the dealership and the lines blew off again. This happened 2 times in a row. Trucks been in for 3 weeks and today they are removing fuel tank and looking for metal shavings in tank. What can I do?

[@snoolee7950]

God bless you for making this video. Nice haircut. You look sharp.

hi Ron i have a 01..f250. 7.3. it stop in the middle of the road i change all sensors , injector cup and orings on injectors new wiring harness pulled the glow plugs and turn the motor to avoid hydrolock and the motor is just dragging...i tested the batteries were good i replaced the starter and it is still dragging so i tried to pull the dip stick it was hard to pull after i got it out to check the oil it wouldn't go back in like it blocked... what do you think the reason could be the motor not spinning like it should...

If this is leaking, can it cause loss of power and roaring sound when accelerating?

[@mokiepoet]

I have the same question

[@DieselTechRon]

if the leak is real bad the ipr won't reach desired. it will hit 65% on the 99and up and would cause a lack of power. I don't see how it could be heard. 50 percent ipr on 94.5-97

[@shaneowen3290]

Yes most definitely. It's more of a harsh problem on the 6.0. you'll definitely get the hint something is wrong,

14:17 this is the only part I'm a little concerned about... I wish we could have seen inside there to see what he meant by "put the gear back on".. Earlier in the video (regarding the same area) he said somebody might have to "hold the crank" when you are torqing it back on... can anyone elaborate what he means by that? I really want to do this myself and not pay a shop, and this is literally the only part I don't really understand. Any information would be great!

[@arthursnelling9733]

I just did mine but when I put the pump back in, I noticed that gear that drives the pump( where the 18mm bolt goes) is about a 1/4 inch forward of the pump shaft. Is this the proper alignment?

Did you ever get a response to this? I'm in the same boat you were in with the gear sprocket centered, but slightly forward of the pump. Not sure if it's suppose to go completely flush.

Hey love the vids. I have a 96 ford superduty rollback. I noticed it was losing power. about a week ago it died. I had the batteries checked and they we're weak. I got new batteries. Now the truck idles fine if it's not moving. However, if you drive it a few miles it runs all the fuel out of the bowl and dies. after spinning it a few times it will crank back up but it keeps doing this over and over I've already put a new mechanical pump in it and checked the lift pump. Any suggestions???

PS what are you standing on? I have to stand on a chair or some kind of stool as these trucks are pretty high. This is my first truck, 2001 F350 4x4 7.3L Lariate Crew Cab, and I love it.

[@johncarmona9976]

Great video. I have a 2000 F350 power stroke. I can't get it started. When I turn the the key the engine turns slow with a bit of a whining noise. I tested the batteries which are about a year old and they are good. I replaced the starter but no difference. I then replaced the IPR valve, nothing. I then checked the ICP valve and noticed some oil in the connector (can this be tested). I do have oil in the valley but am not sure where it is coming from. Another note, when i crank the engine for the first time it takes roughly 5 seconds for the oil pressure gauge to move. I also have some white smoke at the exhaust. Please Help! John
