Follow up from dead truck in OCT.
Here is a link to some questions I had.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...questions.html
So here is long story short. Bought T-500 right before price increase (like 2.5 years ago I think) I did not get it put in to right at a year later. So drove with it from first of last year till middle of Oct. when truck quit. It was cold it was time for a new work truck so in comes the new 2014 and the 7.3 did not run untill today.
I had tried diffrent IPR's on the T500 with no luck so today I finally got around to swapping my old HPOP back in place of the T500. It was a reman that I had to get a few years earlier when I did not know you could service the "non-servicable" port. (I had another HPOP off a spare motor I have for the core when I bought the T500). Anyway after putting the old HPOP in I cycled the key a few times to fill the fuel bowl and the cranked it maybe 4-5 seconds and it fired right up to my surprise. I was thinking it was a long shot cause as we all know it is almost never the HPOP.
I sent Joey an email asking him about and after 2.5 years with no proof of how long I actually had it in service I dont really expect any kind of warranty but I would like him to take a look inside and see if something went out if it doesnt cost to much. Not sure what else it could have been. I used the same IPR that was originally on the T500 when the truck quit. So will be interesting to see what I did.
Thanks to all who gave me advice months ago.

Sounds good but I was thinking there was only a one year warranty for some reason. I have no doubt that he will take a look at it. I realize he is a busy man and since I have the new truck I am really not in any hurry so I will just wait and see what he has to say. I haven't heard back yet but will let you all know how it plays out. I almost want to look inside myself but I know better. I am just curious as to what could have happened. So I am just giving it plenty of time to drain and will get it packed up and ready to ship soon.
