NO START - 7.3 Powerstroke DIESEL Frame LIFT pump Replacement EASY

[@terryguerrero3491]

My 2000 7.3 with 450,000 stranded me for the first time in 24 years yesterday. It's the fuel pump. This will be the first replacement of this pump. I bought this truck brand new in 2000. This video really made clear the steps to replace this pump. Thanks much

[@1BigYin]

That’s awesome, I just bought my first 7.2 this week (360,000) no blow by or leaks and runs like a champ. Hopefully It gets me up to the miles yours has.

Great video. My 2000 F450 mason dump had this issue. I'm the original owner with 160K miles. Unfortunately pump died right after filling dump with busted up concrete. We had to unload for tow truck. Ugh! I would have replaced myself, but not on a busy road on my back. Plus, I did not have the special fuel line tool. I replaced the fuel tank with sender as others mentioned rusted tank. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Barely broken in with 160K. Love this truck.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hey thanks for sharing, have a good day

[@vanderpoolfarmsl.l.c.9983]

We had the same issue with our '99 F-450. There are two small filters inside the inlet side of the stock pump. TOTALLY clogged, burnt out the pump. But why? Dropped the tank and found that the plating on the inside of the tank was coming off in sheets. This is a common problem with chassis cabs of this vintage. We removed the pickup filter and replaced it with a screen after cleaning out the tank. We installed a Raycor filter right before the pump. Replaced the pump. The Raycor filter does such a GREAT job that the fuel filter in the engine bay stays spotless. But most important; the low pressure pump is protected from debris. 245,000 miles and runs like a top!

[@emellina1]

No ac on that 550. Oh baby hot n humid in that cab. Great video- great classic 7.3!!!!!!!

Tnx for the nice clean video, gotta connect a new fuel line from the Sump and Racor fuel filter we installed on my '02 7.3L Excursion at a young 175k miles

[@michaelchan8915]

Okay....now I'm beyond convinced. If that little Noco GB150 will boost a 7.3 with two dead batteries, and provide enough juice to start it, then we know that it's up to the task 100%. My wife now wants to buy one to keep in her car. I'm just trying to figure out when she will ever need it.

[@champagneflowers8522]

Miss my old 7.3. Felt like I was king of the road

[@ClayThomas-q8z]

This was helpful ! I’m getting ready to do this on my 1999 250. Do I need the fuel line “quick disconnect tool” that was shown in video or can i get it off without it ? Thanks !

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Just a baby at 107k! I regularly see 300k + before failure, typically. I replaced mine at 270 and some change, and installed dual AEM 50-1005's. In tank sump, 1/2 " line. I also did the harpoon mod, so I can fill the tank all the way without having to trickle the last 5 gallons in. Pressure is set to 60psi with custom spring. Runs hard for a truck with stock injectors and tunes! Gonna be time for some 238/80's or 100's here soon! Gotta stop spending $ on audio equipment! 🤣

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

😭😭 riiight

[@markcli5950]

My 03 7.3 with 156k may have this problem. Looked in the fuel bowl and saw the similar things shown on this vid. This gives me idea to start with off no start.

My old 02 7.3 had the fuel sending unit filters plug solid. Took me a long time to figure that out, ended up deleting them all together. Never needed that new fuel pump lol!

[@raulsifuentes6294]

Question brother is that the only fuel pump that truck has im being told about the fuel injector pump but im sure if mine has it

[@billgardner9328]

Did it on my 99 7.3. 118k miles

[@1fastintegra]

I have never seen a 7.3 with a/c delete before. Probably because I live in Phoenix lol!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

😭

[@codyphillips48]

The injector cup truck also had ac delete

[@vannorman1116]

Love your content Arod. As far as I know my low pressure pump is original from date of manufacture (5/99). (319,000 miles). Was told the truck will run for weeks month or even years with low pressure but damages the high pressure pump. Any truth to that ? Should I swap my low pressure pump out for added insurance to alleviate future more costly issues ??

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

That has nothing to do with the HP oil pump...low fuel pressure will ruin your injectors. Just think how many hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel that thing has pumped 🤔 it may be time...thanx for watchin pal!!!

[@elf94z]

This looks exactly like the underside of my daughter's 7.3 when she brings it to me with a problem, dirt caked everywhere!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hahahaha

[@vince5506]

Good work there Arod! I bet you could of done this in your sleep or at least blindfolded 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

[@best2drive]

What size line is that back line? Looks to be a rubber hose, thinking about have a plug for it ready just in case it starts leaking during the punk swap.

Is this the same pump and location of the E-350 7.3s?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yesir

[@jimdeere2204]

My 99 F250 wouldn't start after changing the fuel filter. I found this video after searching for the problem. This is a little more than I wanted to tackle in the driveway. I called my local mechanic and the have it now. Also, I noticed while I was trying to start the truck, the "wait to start" light no longer comes on. Is this related or a separate problem?

[@michaelchan8915]

I'm surprised the fuel pickup isn't plugged up. I thought that's what those 7.3s were known for, back in the day, not to mention shorted out fuel heaters inside the water separator housing.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Nice talking with you buddy

[@claudiomagana234]

Are u supposed to hear the low press fuel pump when you open the key?? yes right? Im having some issues with the truck cranking but not starting just replaced the low press fuel pump bout a year ago/not even 3k miles. Starting to think its something else any idea what other issues it might have that wont let it start? If you could get back to me please!

[@D4x4Bronc]

Save those 7.3s!! Use a large flat head and wiggle those line clips off. They been using those clips or similar for 85-91.

[@adamv4695]

sooo if the bowl were to fill up then the fuel pumps would be ok, then would that mean that that would have to be an injector issue, and if they were just replaced could that be a oil pump issue causing low oil pressure causing the injectors to not work?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

1st off we need to know what Your problem is in the 1st place and additionally I would like to know what your injection pressure is while cranking

[@notajp]

Our 03 E450 starts right off if you start it every day or two. Don’t even need to wait for the glow plugs. But if it sits for more than a couple of days, it takes quite a bit of cranking before it will start. But it runs fine when it does start. No rough running or anything like that. It acts like it’s losing prime. I’m wondering if this might be the issue. Oil is full, and batteries are good. Cranks over easily all the time. No money light.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

🤷‍♂️

[@robertmcdonald5277]

Your high pressure oil pump could be draining down.

[@wcpportfolio]

With clean screens in the tank and a new fuel pump, would fuel flow into the bowl be such where it would be splashing at you? I’ve been feeling like the fuel pressure in my truck is low but it flows very much like the truck you have here after the new pump was installed.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yes it shld

[@K38official]

I have an issue with my 2002 7.3 F350 a way i can explain is like something is draining my battery . When i turn on it would randomly shut off in couple of mins . One time it turned on fine and idle for 15mins then I connected my radio and slowly lower my window then it shut off completely battery 100% dead which is confusing to me . It would recharge again don’t know what might be an electrical issue or not sure.

My 2001 7.3 starts however when I step on the pedal it instantly dies. I know its a fuel delivery issue because my neighbor and I opened the air filter a little and sprayed some starter fluid.The truck ran for a good 15 minutes was able to get it back up my driveway. The truck died on me while backing out of my driveway blocking the entire street. Will change the fuel pump soon already installed a new filter for the fuel bowl. if that does not work I am going to have to drop the tank to clean or replace the filters.

[@cameron6071]

How much for the fuel pump

[@michaelabbey6073]

In my experience it’s always something more than the pump causing the low fuel pressure on 7.3s. A lot of times it’s the screens clogged with rust or flakes from tank coming apart. Or bottom screen breaks apart clogging sending unit.
