    Wrecked my injectors/HPOP...

    yes, the LPOP feeds the HPOP. if you are not pushing low pressure oil to the HPOP, same effect I would think. 2900 for new injectors sounds a 'bit' on the high side. get a second opinion. as far as limping on the HPOP home, i dunno. could you be suffering from a bad injector o-ring too?

    gents: just got done tracing the most annoying fuel leak. my gauge is on a bracket bolted to the alternator mount. I was SURE it was the FPR leaking right below it. drivers side of the engine was fuel wet. the only clue was the gauge fluid was slightly green from ulsd. did not seem to...

    Racor CCV filter

    i REALLY like my filter i can not say enough good about the Racor unit. i'd say close to 80k on it now. I have kept it stock. anytime i have serviced it, the media looks good. the filter minder seems to work well. i have not changed the filter yet, i will probably just for good measure...

    Question Block heater cord

    1200 Watts divided by 120volts is 10 amps. so the 20amp Marinco plug is more than adequate.

    7.3 IDI dead on the road

    you should be running 2 cycle oil or bioD, not Cetane booster. cetane booster like Poeerservice is basically solvent like acetone which dries out the full even more. look in the fuel forum for discussions. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

    Rear Main Seal leaking

    gentlemen- disrespectful really? you are gossiping and trading in rumors, which do nothing more than continue the pattern. it is really disrespectful when you ask for help and the reject and refute it when you don't like it. Racinghcr- being a Ford tech and parts guy does not an expert...

    Rear Main Seal leaking

    the seals will NOT go bad due to USLD. they were spec'd for bioD. Why would you think that USLD would eat them. you guys sound like a bunch of old women.

    1999 7.3L Noise, then smoke!

    WAG is a blown injector oring or bad injector. its really easy to pull the injectors and check them. if they are pushing a new motor, i would check around for anther shop.

    Rear Main Seal leaking

    the fuel drain orings leak do not leak because of USLD. they leaked before that fuel went to market. be careful what you hear and what you believe.

    6.4L Just lost power, but runs?

    Sounds like you are in limp mode. Can be due to any number of things. Any lights? Gauges all 'normal?' Regen? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

    Help Needed 7.3L mystery

    poke about for the CPS info in the 7.3 forum. the EBPV is electrically controlled. the tube that is connected to it gets plugged. all gremlins will trigger it. one step at a time.

    Help Needed 7.3L mystery

    one step at a time. 1. start off with basic diagnostic techniques. 2. you mean the Exhaust Back Pressure control? Search for EBPV here and you will learn much about the valve. could be the tube is plugged. its cleanable.

    photos F350 with Cummins

    they probably built the trucks overseas too. remember that brazil is a bit of a wild west town. there used to be the 7.3 service manual online from brazil but its since disappeared. they also have a 4 banger 'powerstroke' motor down there too. its been a while since we jabbered about this.

    Stroked68- remember that the overseas market does not get what we get here. and vice versa, we a fraction comparatively of what they make elsewhere. i for one would seriously consider a TDI focus if they actually brought it here. or a diesel ranger.
