Engine Refresh

Haven't been on here for a very long time but my 6.0 has just been pluggin along with just regular maintance issues. Replaced all injectors recently after 300,000 miles. Some of the injectors were original but I'm not 100% sure how many since I bought it used. I'm scheduling it to have an almost complete teardown to replace lifters, reseal the bedplate and front cover, etc. I'm curious if there is any solid data out there on how long a HPOP can last? It's a 2006 and I previously had the updated stc fitting done 150,000 miles ago. Torque Pro is showing I hit 4,000 PSI at around 75% IPR on a stock tune and it idles at well over 500 PSI. Should I just replace the IPR or would it make sense to replace the HPOP with a new OEM while in there?

High end HPO numbers look good

It could go another 100k or more who knows

to me it would be a thing of wether or not i want to change down road and separate cost IF paying a shop to do the work

Well said Benny.

Both the y-pipe and up-pipe bellows may be leaking. It is inevitable at SOME point.

Replaced the y-pipe with BD quite a while ago. Oil cooler numbers are great but the shop replaces them when they do this work.
