Does the SD HPOP do much for you if you if you're only running stock injectors? I need to replace my HPOP and would consider a SD, but I'm not willing to drop $2000 for new injectors to see the benefit.
SP, if you are never gonna run bigger injectors then there is no point in going to the SD HPOP. However, they are about the same price, and if it were me needing to replace my pump, I would do the SD pump. Cuz with it you can be sure your stock injectors are getting all the oil they need at all RPM's. It would just be the correct thing to do in my opinion. It's just a better pump, and if it works on our trucks, why not. And you don't need to spend 2k to reap the benifits of the pump. If you can afford a couple of days down time on your truck, and have the ability to wrench fairly well, you can build a set of injectors like I did for just over $400. I bought my injector kit, with some extra parts and machined intesifier pistons from Jim at DIY-injectors for $448 shipped. The injector build was really easy, and had great instructions. I'm not trying to sell them or anything like that, I just wanted you to know it doesn't have to be that expesive. Hope that helps.
Sounds like you had not problem reconnecting the HP oil lines to the pump? Were yours threaded or snap? Mine are threaded, but I thought the newer style was different.
Yeah, it was easy. You just take the fittings off the new pump which would be the snap on type. And screw in the fittings off your stock pump. It's that easy.
Yes they are, but from what I hear you want to keep them correct. There were only slight differences in the two, but I myself didn't want to reuse my stock IPR. I wanted every upgrade I could get. I have no idea if you can get the same benifit with your stock IPR or not, but I didn't want to take that chance. That's just my opinion.
Hey guys, I lost one of the springs during the HPOP seal change. Are they entirely necessary? Is it bad if I take both of them out? Where could I find a new one? I have heard of just taking them out and nothing bad happens. What do you guys think?
If you are talking about the springs under the fitting for the lines, yes take them out, they are just a restriction. International had put them there for bleed down, but there are holes in the little plates. But make no mistake, these are NOT responsible for the bleed down. Take them out and forget them.
