Mechanic needed for HPOP 'non-serviceable plug'
I need to have the 'non-serviceable' plug on a '02 7.3L HPOP serviced. Change the o-ring and install the plug with the longer threads that Bob (dieselorings.com) sells.
I've called a couple diesel mechanics here in Orange Co. and they don't want to touch it. They all want to replace the HPOP.
Anybody know a good mechanic who will do this? Preferably, Orange Co. but I would go to Inland Empire or LA if necessary.

What did you have done, I looked over their website and they have a double pump set up?? Looks interesting.

just a basic T-500, my truck will never see the need for dual pumps.

do you throw a P1211 soft code if your towing hard or driving aggressively?
my truck used to set it easily while not towing with the diablo sport 80hp tune and what i assume was the original HPOP to the truck at 246k miles, but with the refreshed T-500 HPOP i haven't been able to set the soft code no mater how hard i try...
i don't have a gauge or AE to read the computer on my truck but my mechanic friend has a snap on scanner that will read the computer, and right off idle the ICP pressure ramps up and peaks out around 3000 to 3500psi
not to derail the thread but i cant recommend any shops for much of anything, as i do as much wrenching as possible and with my mechanic friend having a 01 7.3 and basically unlimited free use of his snap on scan tool, i do my own diagnostics too.
ALSO to the OP, have the fuel bowl rebuilt while its out, if it has not been rebuilt before... the fuel bowl has to come out to get to the HPOP, and make sure the rubber sleeves that go on the hard fuel lines are replaced no mater what if the bowl is removed.

Yeah I even see that code at idle at times. The truck has run a bit rough and always have the doubt in my head as to if it's the HPOP, a bad injector or the harness to the injectors. Already repaired the harness so I would hope that's still good.

I change my oil and filters, do brakes and that's about it. I'd just as soon pay someone to turn the wrenches for me and I'll do stuff I enjoy.

OldBlackCat, should I buy a fuel bowl reseal kit from Bob at Dieselorings to give to Domestic when I have the HPOP done, or do you think they will they have everything needed?

I hope I don't get shunned for saying this, but what I'm about to say makes me the odd man out here on FTE. I don't like to spend my free time turning wrenches.

plus shop labor adds up fast!!!i just know the sleeves are one time use, and since the whole damn bowl has to come out to take the HPOP out you just as well re seal it.
