HPOP or Inj.?
My truck is stock,running fine. recently replaced ICP sensor (oil press. @ rail)
no oil leaks except small amount @ low press. oil (will try to replace pump soon) The concern I have is the truck seems to need to crank longer than usual
(nothing too bad yet) and fuel mileage is lower than past summers by about 2.
About 210,000 on ticker, running additive. Wondering if rebuilding HPOP is an
option (checked for kits haven't found any yet) or if I need injectors.I would rather go hpop route for cost reasons, but just asking for any ideas
Thanks, Jeff
Will check thread this aft. will be gone all day.

Replacing the LPOP has been known to aid in start up. If you have leaks in that area, I would replace it first. It would be the least expensive option and may be the answer to your problem. Can't hurt.

I agree. I may be doing my LPOP soon as well, as it is very oily on the front of the engine. (Not dripping, but it's covered.) I need to get in there and clean it up and confirm where it's leaking from... but If I do have to do it, I will use the aftermarket "Melling" I think.

Yes, I will be doing that for sure, hope I don't need special bal. puller for the job. Would
I be correct in assuming the rad. needs to be pulled. Also I have the fan wrench for a
95, I hope it's the same. For the 2nd part of my Q, is there a rebuild kit for HPOP or is new the only option.

just did mine and even though I have tons of tools and odds and ends to make tools...
Balancer needed a puller, steering wheel puller wasn't big enough.
LPOP cover tapped right off.
Balancer reinstall needed a dampner reinstall tool, no way around that as I wasn't going to bang the crap out of my crankshaft
All from oreilly's and back within same day.
In fact, Melling pump was to the store same day from distribution warehouse, hows that.
Honestly the right tools saved alot of time.
This was one of the easier parts.

I used the harm bala bolt to press the pulley back on, only need a thinner washer. Many have done it this way and been successful. Actually haven't heard anyone say it didn't work. Also no banging required.
