[@onehappyfarmer3461]

No kidding, I have a 7.3 and his informative videos are great to watch.

[@alhanes5803]

​@@onehappyfarmer3461 I wouldn't let this guy work on a lawn mower. There is a check ball in the block that keeps oil from draining back out of the reservoir. The low pressure pump could be completely worn out and would fill the reservoir in 3 seconds when cold. I can't believe people believe this guys bs. This is as bad as telling you to change the reservoir oil with oil change. There is about 1 pint of oil in there, and 2 qts left in each head. Why not pull the heads and drain them every oil change. What a fool. All these people on here have made themselves believe they start and run better and quieter after doing that. Another one is the crank case vent. He says it will cause the turbo to leak. Uh huh, ok.

[@xxxmikeyjock]

@@alhanes5803 check ball is the shortcut circuit, but I agree there is no way the lp pump is the cause of no oil in the rez

[@biodveghead9535]

Just did this repair/swap and worked out exactly how Bill said. Perfect. Really sad to hear of his passing. He was absolutely in my thoughts during the entire time I changed out the LPOP the other day. He is going to be missed on so many levels...

Keep up the 7.3 videos! We love them. Not everyone can afford the new trucks. I have a 2002 Super Duty.

[@johnbrizendine7716]

My '96 f250 super duty almost has half a million miles on it! I just wish diesel was a bit cheaper so I could afford to get to a million miles sooner! One trick I learned a while ago is that these engines do not like the ultra low sulfur diesel fuel as it has a lot less lubricity than old school diesel fuel, so add a bit of 2-stroke oil to the diesel when you fuel it up, makes the engine run a lot smoother and keeps the fuel system lubed.

[@Paul-q3m7k]

Same here, several 7.3’s on our farm. 00 - 03’s with most having about 190k on them, they’ll still be running when I take my 6.4L to the scrapper and might just out live the 6.7s too. Biggest issue now is getting parts, anything body related is getting harder to find and you can practically forget finding a take-off bed that’s any good. Ours are all (but 1) flat beds now.

I have watched a lot of these powerstrokehelp videos, and this simple well down video just helped my son and I get a 99 7.3 powerstroke running. This truck was my brother's truck and last fall as it got cooler the truck wouldn't start. He bought a 2021 Ford and sold me his older 7.3 to me. My son and I replaced the low pressure oil pump in about 2hrs, and it starts and runs great now. Going to do some of the fuel mod grades Bill has shown in some other videos. Good teacher, and appreciate his veterans support

Great info Bill, makes me sick that I traded in a very nice 2000 f-350 4x4 in 2005 because my Ford dealer kept replacing fuel injectors at 480.00 each, and could not find the issue, this had to be the cure.

[@NickBwheelin]

Great video Bill. Always enjoy the content. Especially when a 7.3 is involved 😉

[@twinturbocoyoteftw]

Seen this dozens of times. Most dealers throw injectors and icp sensors along with the occasional high pressure pump. Great video Bill from one tech to another!

[@SomeTechGuy666]

There is a reservoir above the HP oil pump to feed it oil during start up. There is a ball check valve in the passenger head that feeds the reservoir. Normally the LP oil pump does not need to feed the reservoir during start up. I would check that the ball check valve is not leaking, causing the reservoir to drain down. The other potential cause of hard start due to lack of high pressure oil is a leaking poppet valve on one of the injectors. If an injector O Ring wears out, debris can get into the poppet valve and cause it to leak.

[@michaelryan1547]

Hmm contradictory info. He just said the opposite but you’re very specific. Let me ask you. Just bought a 99 7.3 dirt cheap for some body parts for my 02 7.3 story was it got impossible to start in cold weather despite having starter and new HIGH pressure oil pump mechanic told him low compression not worth rebuilding engine on such rough truck. Not sure why high pressure pump was replaced if was just dead or an attempt at solving cold start. Anyway watching this thought maybe there’s life in that $1000 parts truck after all but then your comments dashed my hopes of getting it running w low pressure pump. Any insight appreciated.

[@chickenknucklez2604]

Ya I mean that makes perfect sense... If that was true then you'd clearly not see any difference with him replacing the low pressure pump so imma call bullshit on your theory he just supplied you with truth and you're still to blind to see 🙈

[@automan73s]

The Check Valve (Ball, Spring) is on the Driver's Side Timing Cover area, 1996+ 1994-1995, Check Valve is on the HPOP. If the problem is bleeding HPOP Reservoir overnight, it's the Check Valve, Not LPOP! If HPOP is not pumping up properly while running, then LPOP is the problem 👍

[@markbrandon7756]

320K Miles and its has began, one thing that helps starting until you have time to change the oil pump is to restart it cold in evening after running it for the day. Then the next day your starter will certainly thank you for not making it work to hard. Starter is also new since 75K. Cold (29-32) morning start can test your batteries. Still gets 14 mpg same as at 70K when bought truck. PowerStrokeHelp as always the Best of the Best !!!

[@VitruviunMan]

Tip: in case you don’t have an impact or don’t want to remove the radiator, you can hold the flywheel with two vice grips and the use the puller with hand tools. Also the Melling instructions state to soak the pump in oil but I’m sure the grease is no problem. Thanks for the video Bill!

[@breakawaymotorsports]

Thanks for this video Bill..I've got two of these 7.3s still working and will keep this in mind if they become stubborn starters.

[@ArthurFuckingHogan]

You're an invalueable resource, Bill! The harbor freight pullers work a lot better & last longer if you grease the threads reel good- keeps the cheezy metal from melting

[@russostman1538]

Don't forget to change the check ball and seat. And yes there is a check ball. It's in the front of the block behind the timing cover on the left side of the center gally. It's the pressure relief valve for the lpop

There is a trick to get the fan on. Tape a string to the fan nut and wind the string around it. (Think of it as a pull string to lawn mower). When you get the fan nut just started, slowly pull the string and it will wind right on. This is an old BMW e30 trick. Works like a charm.

[@turbobobby1]

good to see this video! my 2002 has 434,000 miles on original oil pump and it takes a longer than usual time to start. thanks for sharing this!! I'll be installing a new pump on my ole faithful superduty. (and still running original oem stock injecters)

[@mikeriley8677]

I just bought a 1996 F-250 with a 7.3 yesterday. It is my first diesel truck. It has 180,000 miles and long cranks before it starts. I thought it was just the fuel system because I had no idea about the oil pressure controlling the injectors. Thanks for the info.

[@e030396]

Very informative! I have been fighting a similar symptom with my 1996 F350 7.3L for a year. Last year in the Midwest on some cold days it would start right off, then let it set for a day and it would take a lot of cranking to get it started. I put new glow plugs in it and had the rely and low oil pressure pump checked checked, but that had no effect on curing the problem. Finally, a few weeks ago it started right off with temps in the teens, but all of the dash warning lights came on. I drove it a few blocks down the street to my auto service station. The starter was still running and they had to disconnect the alternator to shut down the engine. They replaced the rack in the steering column and now this truck starts consistently on the second revolution down into the low teens. I am wondering if the wires in the steering column were intermittently fouling up the relay or timing on the glow plugs. I had noticed that the column shifter (automatic) was getting a bit stiff starting last year and the cruise control would be intermittent. If the dash lights would not have all come on who knows how long it would have taken to find the problem. Last year during cold weather I would take it to the Ford garage and let it set over night. As it would be the truck would start just fine. But a few days later I would end up with these long cranking sessions to get it started at even 30 to 40 degree temps. I hope his information is helpful.

[@rockyroad9709]

ive owned my 7.3 since new in 2001. To make a LONG story short, truck looks new in and out with 350+000. miles pulling 10k lb trailer toting a mini ex. Anyway I NEVER knew about this pump. Ill be damned. Shazamm. Mine is not hard to start but if it does i know another possible place to look to R&R. THANK YOU for this video. Hell you guys taught me a lot so far this is just another episode of knowledge

[@bch5513]

I understand it calls for the old green coolant but if a late model 7.3 then it can take ELC and you don’t have to monitor which almost everyone doesn’t do properly. Seen cavitation multiple times because coolant wasn’t properly maintained.

[@treelineresearch3387]

The old 250 I recently bought has pretty much exactly this cold start symptom, and I was starting to notice that it wasn't really about cold but rather how long it had sat since last run - if it's been started within 8 hours or so it kicks right over. I just checked it and the complete no start transitioned to trying to kick over right when the oil pressure on the cluster goes up after several cranks, it then runs REALLY rough for 10-15 seconds before suddenly smoothing out and running great. This fits in really closely with what I've been observing and gives me another thing to investigate.

[@johnbrizendine7716]

I'm pretty sure it had like 313K miles on it. I am almost to 500,000 miles on mine, but diesel has gotten so expensive it's hard to justify just driving it to try to hit half a million miles now.

[@bearjersadventures9864]

RIP Bill Another reason for this to happen (probably more common than a low pressure oil pump failure) is failed injector O-rings. My truck had these symptoms. Many of the O-rings had failed which required a long crank to build up enough oil pressure to operate the injectors.

[@25centsapop]

I'm sure you have more "pro grade" tools but the testimony of knowing what you're doing over buying exspensive tools is amazing

[@FordTechATC]

Great video but there is a check ball in the system which almost never goes bad but possible for crap to get stuck in it to keep it open. It’s in the block on the driver side behind The front engine cover reservoir and SIDE OF pump. The Allen head bolt is accessible from the top. Need to remove some stuff out of the way and drain the reservoir first. A bad high high pressure oil leak can also drain your reservoir like a stuck open IPR.

[@jacobkelley519]

Great information! I have the long crank every time i start it unless i shut it off and then start it back up immediately. Injector orings didnt fix it, lpop didn't fix it. What are the high pressure oil system parts that can cause the resevior to drain? Im goind to do the ipr valve and that check ball this week.

[@Roudter]

If my 02 7.3 cranks for a long time in the morning is clicks too when trying to start. That probably because the battery voltage is going to low while cranking and relays and what not are kicking in and out. How old are your batteries?

I have a 1997 7.3 powerstroke diesel I've done a lot of work to the truck almost everything is new new glow plugs just a couple months ago most of them were bad when I tested them with an ohms meter for a while about three years ago I was starting to have an issue with starting and be like a long crank and the truck I don't know how many miles exactly was on it cuz when I bought it it was a wrecker or a tow truck but supposedly the guy I bought it from back in 2016 said they put a low mileage ambulance engine in it anyhow I've done oral cooler gaskets oil pan gasket and rear main seal new clutch new transmission I mean almost everything is new on the truck besides the head gaskets and a rebuild but fuel bowl assemblies every pulley you could think of water pump and when I was having this issue a couple years back I put a new high pressure oil pump from all my knowledge and that was over five hundred and something dollars I believe and I don't remember the maker of it but it was too orileys I believe brand new or remans I don't exactly remember I have to check the receipt but anyhow ever since that it seemed like all new lines that go to the high pressure oil pump and I was having an issue even after putting the high pressure oil pump it would run I would get it to run but it would still seem like you don't pull and I was having an issue even after putting the high pressure oil pump it would still seem like it would have a hard time starting sometimes especially when it was cold so I took it to this diesel shop where I live here in Michigan which they are no longer in business and they charged me $500 to really do nothing but anyways just this past winter ever since I did the oil pan and had the transmission out and new oil pump back in 2018 before I did the high pressure oil pump everything looked good on the lower end the crank that was no metal shavings anything and I've also done a compression test high pressure oil cast all that stuff and I determined after we did all that back in 2018 to do the high pressure oil pump now I did know and hear about the low pressure oil pump but I didn't know exactly how hard it was to do so when the truck is warm I just started it recently it fired right up but I was thinking for a while they're either injectors or injector O-rings which I haven't done maybe I should do this next because my low pressure oil you'll see the oil gauge will stay low specially when it's cold or the truck sits for awhile when you crank it the oil gauge will stay low and it takes probably a couple cranks maybe four to five cranks before that oil gauge kicks up and then the truck seems like it'll fire so I was thinking for the longest that the O-rings the oil is seeping past the O-rings on the injectors or one or two of the injectors and causing a hard start issue but I could be wrong and possibly this could be it where would you go would you spend $100 for a set of O-rings and do the O-rings on the injectors I've already done a buzz test they all sound healthy and then pulling the valve cover they all look like the oil is where they need to be so I'm pushing I think towards a low pressure oil pump what would you suggest

Bill, does it do damage to the hpop for it to be starved? Also, diagnostically speaking, could you check the hpop level and add oil?

[@Prevailingbucket]

I am not Bill but technically you could add oil. Keep in mind that doing so repeatedly will eventually overfill the crankcase.

Why call this a left hand thread when it's a clockwise thread? Why use an air chisel to tighten fan clutch nut instead of a torque wrench?

"small children and folks you go to church with..." Love the narrative as much as green anti-freeze. Go Bill!

Ok, my 2002 will not start for shit when the temperature falls below 32 degrees f unless I plug the heater in. If I plug in the heater im good down to 8 or 10 below 0. What going on there?

Hey it's Rick I talked to you about the quarter trick a few months ago it turned my service light off after I did it. I was hoping to get to you early this year. So you could go over my 1999+1/2 - 7.3. Now my driver side front end grinding. Slow down + it stops. Oh well here I go again.
