how long does it take to replace the hpop -i have a 2002 f250-w/7.3 it is not leaking from any of the obvious places-new here appreciate the help

 

Moved to the 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel forum.

 

Why are you replacing it? Have you done any data logs of ICP? Is it just leaking and you cant tell where from? There is a "non-serviceable" plug that is a common leak, yet it is serviceable!

Here's the write-up for the repair http://www.dieselorings.com/docs/service_plug.pdf

Clay can also get you the parts. Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: - HPOP Parts/ O-rings

For your question, capable wrencher pulls the fuel bowl in a half hour or so, then another half hour to hour to pull the HPOP.

 

Is it leaking oil? What is the issue? There are a lot of other areas where it could leak from.

 

Where are you located? Lots of help on here,two guys could get it done in no time.

 

Not to change the subject some what. but does anyone know if it would do any harm to an early 99 by putting in a later model hpop or if it would even go on there. thanks

 

I almost changed my hpop once, turns out I had a fuel leak on the fuel bowl drain valve o-ring. I thought it was oil as the fuel would become black from all the engine grease it would pick up on its way to the driveway. Either way if its not the hpop this site will help you figure out what it is.

 

The e99 hpop is a 15* and the L99-02 hpop is a 17*. So yes it would help and bolt right up.

 

doesnt take that long really to remove the hpop just depends on your level of mechanics.. did it on a friends truck for the first time bout 2 weeks ago and iirc it too about 2 hours or so

 

It is not that hard of a job really like everyone has said. You need to pull the fuel bowl and you will need the fuel line sleeves (click on the hyperlinks in blue text) (1- 3/8", 1- 5/16", & 2- 1/4")


Drain the HPOP Reservoir
Drain the Fuel Filter Bowl
Remove the EBPS (access to fuel bowl bolts)
Remove the Fuel Bowl (2 bolts, 5 lines, and a connector)
disconnect the HPOP lines (need a special tool, can me made easily)
Remove the access cover on the front
Remove the 18mm bolt from the HPOP gear (dont drop the washer)
Remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the HPOP in.
Remove HPOP (place rags in valley to catch residual oil)
repack HPOP with rebuild kit

Reinstall everything back! Be proud that you did it yourself!

 

Longest part for me was letting the Loctite cure for a full day.

 

To put a T500 in your E99 would be the best mod you can do. On mine much more power and almost 2mpg at 78mph on my 80e tune. Go for it,
