Man this is more of a PITA than I expected. Nothing was too bad, except I went to take the flex plate dust shield off to hold the motor from spinning while I take the HPOP drive bolt off. Found out that PO was nice enough to round off all of those bolts for me. If I had 220V set up at the new house already it wouldn’t be a big deal, but that was a night ender for me. Any other ways to keep the engine from turning?

wow I feel stupid. I’m going to chock the wheel and put it in gear haha. But that’s a task for tomorrow night. Once I have that bolt and washer off I just need to take the two mounting bolts off and swap the IPR and reservoir over. With any luck (and me remembering to bring some oil to that house tomorrow) I’ll be driving tomorrow night!

My FedUp chaps here in TX are great.
Curious what you will see once the HPOP system is burped. Some guys say park up hill, drive like stole it, etc. Got me. I just dorked around and did some freeway driving...seemed to work.
Hope it cures your ails! If so, gimme a shout out. If not, blame @Khan

He'll probably blame me for spending his money when I'm done with these valve springs. @Edgethis probably will as well
My buddy that was drinking beer and laughing at me work last night left about 5 minutes before I got to that point. Crappy timing haha

Wheres the daily update 
@Khan said he was gonna have his springs done before you change that oil pump out.
@Hit Man X will probably have his rear restudded before I get this axle together though, so I can't talk

Well. I might have ****ed up. I forgot to put the new o rings in the HPOP fittings and didn’t realize it until everything was put back together. Decided to just see if it.leaks. Truck fired up after about 6 seconds of cranking. I’ll get my 50 miles in by the end of day tomorrow and report back

yeah I’m not good about pictures haha. I’ll take some of the old pump and final product tomorrow probably. I’m not too hopeful that this solved my problem because it already threw a code. I didn’t read it, but it felt the same as before. Guess I’ll give it the 50 miles to see, and then I’ll resort to pulling the front end off and getting the intercooler lines to fit better

Studs suck to replace. Had to do my fronts when I got the truck since it needed new rotors

Not on dually. It is still at my house in Houston, since late Feb. Guaranteed will not start now unless batts charged.
Doing rear axle studs on my 4.9 I bought in April. Two or three sheered off upon removal due to over torque. I am guessing 200-250lbft to put them well beyond yield. Spec is 100 on the half ton 1/2-20!
