No I will get a screen kit if possible. The very least put the original back now that I blew air the hrough it. Never run it without ford/international put it there for a reason.

 

Anything else I should be looking at while the turbos on the bench and the valley is open?

 

I also checked the filter housing and it filled up at what I thought was an acceptable rate.

 

You take some spray cleaner like carb or MAP cleaner
and depress the pintle in the valve and flush out and
junk that may be in there. Let dry reinstall O-ring and
screen kit and stick it in the truck. As for flushing the line
you just crank the truck but don't try to start with the line
from the starter and let some of the oil in the pump out
onto the cover. Then clean it up. yes it messy but any crud
that may of been sitting ahead of the screen should wash out
when you give it a few cranks. Do that before you reinstall the IPR.

I guess I am not sure what you mean by from the line with the starter. Do i just tap the key a few times? Or jump a wire from the battery to the solenoid on the fender?(I assume there's a solenoid on the fender like my 7.3's)

 

So you all think just a screen kit and flush. No need to spend the extra money on the whole ipr valve?

 

I know everyone seems to say we should run 5w-40 in this truck but I have 3.5 gallons of rosella 15-40 on the shelf. I am thinking it should be ok to run this until it gets cold, any opinions as to why not?

 

The 15-40 will be fine.

 

That is my thought too, it was all I ran in my 06 for 100000 miles and I still see it's on the road every once and a while.

 

You can also grab some T6 from Wally world and run a blend, say half and half. It's actually a better blend than if you bought a semi syn (they usually don't run that much syn in the blends). You'd end up with a 10W 40 and my truck (I do the same but with Delo) is actually quieter and I think starts a tad quicker.

I'll likely go full syn when I run out of the cases of delo 400 I have...

 

Just run the 15-40 and don't worry about it

Well I guess before I worry about the oil change I have to get it to start. But thanks for the input.

 

Well no change except it made about 50 ICP instead of next to none. Guess the next step is get the fitting and pressurize the high pressure oil system. Which is really what should have been done from the start but can't find the flipping fitting anywhere other than on line. Still puzzles me how it just shut off. I question if my original hard start when hot and no start when cold are even related.

 

If after I do the air test and if I determine it to be the hpop where is the best place to get one. Factory ford or is there a aftermarket upgrade? How much cash are we talking 500?

 

I am assuming back around 80000 when they replaced the Stc fitting it is the updated one. Or at least when they have done the head gaskets they updated it. Do the new ones fail and if so would that cause the truck to shut down while under power like that. I suppose we will know more when I get the air fitting.
