1995 Ford F-350 7.3 Powerstroke headaches

LPOP = 60 psi
HPOP = 3000 psi ( really 3000? or 300? )
That HPOP seems like a lot, but then again, I guess it would be for the job it does, huh?
Wow, thanks for that information. Is there a way to check to see if it is the pickup tube or oil pump, w/o removing them? Just wondering, I would hate to have to remove the motor for the 3rd time, to replace the pick up tube. Thanks.

Do what Rick said...add extra oil and lift the rear of the truck. This completely covers the oil pick-up tube. If you troubles go away like this then you have a cracked tube.

With bigger injectors (upgraded, more fueling) you need more high pressure oil to drive them. thats where "big oil" comes in. There are a number of ways/companies to take care of your big oil needs. So far one has a replacement pump (another is on the way) and the others add a second pump.

Hi again. I could not get a new pickup tube, so I took the old one and got it braised, the factory welds. Put new gasket on the bottom of the pickup tube, and I have finally got oil pressure. Still won't start. Took the IPR o ring out, it was cracked ( Was a black o ring ). Will that cause it not to start? One side has real good oil pressure, and the other does not. I do not have a gauge, but if you put your finger over it, it'll blow it off of there ( on one side ). If you need a picture, let me know of what. I will take it and post. Thanks for anymore help you guys have been, and hopefully, will be.
