I agree but I was thinking that maybe the short could be in the same location or maybe I damaged these wires along with some wires to the hpos when I was fixing the gaskets I was thinking if I could find a short here there might be a place where the wires cross paths and they could be in the same location just a thought

 

Yes Im with ya now

 

Looking at the wiring diagrams it looks like there is a common wire chafing point on the middle connector at the FICM. From what im looking at in the tech folder this is where the wires run to from the icp and ipr to the middle connector maybe it has a short there im going to go start tearing into it. I am not certain I would think this would throw a code if the IPR had a wiring issue but i really dont know. Ill update you when I get it apart.

 

I have dug in a little deeper seems the plug clips on the ficm are broken. I have used a series of zip ties for now and got them nice and snug so they dont slip out anymore. This is just temperary until I can get new connectors. I unplugged two round connectors right infront of the powersteering reservour that look like some of the pins are dry and corroded. It looks like two of the corroded pins are the same wires that go to the IPR I hope this is the problem. Will update in a bit. After I plugged in the FICM and secured them The ICP is now always at 0 and the IPR is still stuck at 14.4. I am sorry for all the posts and emails that everyone is getting that has chimed in here. If it is bothering anyone I can start a new thread.

 

Sounds like your making a little progress

dont worrey about bothering anyone thats what were all here for we just want to see that truck fire up and Run and I think your really close hang in there you will get it Im shure


It did seam like a wire issue cuz with the IPR stuck at 14.4% there was no way the HPOP could generate 3500+ ICP psi

If I ever have a wireing issue I will be hitting You up

Didnt you replace the IPR wire pigtail earlier wasnt that one all melted

 

OMG IT TRIED TO START IM FEAKING OUT!!!! My Ipr is now 77 while cranking but my icp is down around 30 Does this mean now I gotta track down a high pressure oil leak?

 

Your so close Bud
IPR is exactly what we want to see

ICP is alittle low you need 500psi ICP to start


Just gota track down a leak

 

I traced those wires back and found dirth plugs under the power steering res. I stuck a wire inside the plug and tried cleaning them out then used simple green and dried with a heat gun and put it all back together. also took a bunch of stuff apart looking for shorts. Could the low Icp be the HPO system is still lacking oil or has air in it still?

 

Yes it could be from air in it

Granted you cranked alot but all the oil just went to the oil pan It wasnt clearing the lines and oil rails of air

Keep cranking on it for a few and watch that oil leval it will go down a touch since its finaly starting to fill the oil rails and stuff

 

Well I cranked on it a little more but the batteries need a rest I will try again before work in the morning I dont want to hurt anything cranking on low batteries. ICP still sitting around 30

 

Ok I like to think about things as logically as possible when I have something to go off of. Just to fill you guys in and I really dont want to leave this thread because it just might help some poor guy that has to fix what ever it is that is hendering my HPO system. The reason I think it is an oring on an injector is because once I got my IPR to close and started building pressure my truck tried to start. It will not fire up from anything below 500 psi from what I have learned. It just seems logical to me that the injector d-ring is the weakest link here. I dident touch my HPOP I replaced the stand pipes I replaced my oil cooler New IPR Unplugged my ICP and its also not leaking oil. That leads me to believe theres a high possibility that an injector oring got damaged or has blown from removing the oil rail and reinstalling it. Maybe im not thinking about something in this system but that makes the most sense. I would like to do an air test but it seems like less work to replace all the injector d-rings than to take half of the truck apart to get a fitting on the ICP? Atleast were making progress

 

Found the leak. I took both valve covers off getting ready for a air test and on the passenger side the flex HPOS line that screws into the oil rail was snapped off in the oil rail. So it looks like an easy out and a new flex line. I will put the two pieces together and make sure there was no chunks that broke off aswell. Does anyone have any idea what could of caused this? Cause I am sure it was not broken after I put it on it had to of broke when I was cranking it. Hopefully this is the last of it. If I can find one tomorrow I will put it on tomorrow after work. Hopefully the injector o-rings are ok at this point.

 

I cant seem to find a part number if anyone has one I would appreciate it. Its the passenger side. Thanks I gotta get some sleep work soon.

 

Ok ordered the part $100 ill have it tomorrow along with the part number if anyone else needs it. Might just get this baby running for the hunting trip

 

Sorry, I know I am in the wrong place but I cant find where to post a new post,
I currently have a 05
f250 Superduty with an auto 5 sp. It runs great. Gets 13.8 mpg. We pull a 16' trailer with a total of 180 empty pallets (truck and trailer) @ 40lbs each. The 13.8 is an average of full and empty... plus a lot of stop and go looking for stray pallets.
I just got my disability and am looking at a 2008 F250 single cab (the other is a crewcab) with a homemade flatbed 12'. It is at a dealer and only has 3700 miles on it....yes 3,700 miles. They just dropped the price from 29000 ro 24000. I am offering 20, now 22500. I think what they are asking is a good price from what I can find. It is a 6 sp auto.6.4 turbo. It has roll up windows and nice cloth seats but it does have those little electric options like how many miles do you have left.
Should I jump on the 24,900 or hold out for 2500.00

That was question 1. I a this a good deal ....24900 for a single cab 3700 mile truck with a 6.4 and a 6 auto with a good metal and wood homemade (made well) flatbed.
And question 2: Ford is offering a lifetime drivetrain warranty if you change your oil there. If I did that should I go with a synthitic oil that would only need a chaNGE every multi-thoousand miles instead of 5K....because you know they will be charging 45.00 for each service And my old truck. The 2005 F250 with 124000 on it. I want to give it to my kid. New tires, oil change, trans oil change with filters, brakes, etc..... bout 1200.00 worth of work ,,maybe a little more. I would like to give him another 50 - 100 K more. I have taken good mechanical care of it but the body is beat.... I mean beat. I need to cruise bars at closing time and hope it gets his because it is only worth a third of what it would be worth without every door knocked in...
