Well, I got confirmation today that my HPOP is leaking, according to the International mechanic, from the "non-serviceable" side. They want $1300 to fix it. Needless to say I'm going to get my truck in a few minutes...hahaha. Is there any members of FTE local enough that want to get their hands oily and help a newbie figure this thing out? SpringerPop posted enough information that I think I have a handle on the fix.

About this "non-serviceable" side of the HPOP, does anybody know what the heck this guy is talking about? I have read everything I can online about the HPOP and have no reference to a "non-serviceable" side.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!! hehehe

There is a "non-serviceable" plug on the pump that will fail and leak.

International has a kit to repair this "non-serviceable" plug.

(not sure if ford offers it).

Not bad to do,remove the HPOP and follow the instructions in the kit.

Save the $ for .

(be sure to follow the instructions very closely ie. the pump must be in a specific posistion for disassembly)


Where do you live?

 

Why would the International guy try to push a replacement HPOP then, oh, I get it...loot right...hahaha. I'm in Huntsville, Alabama, live in a campground...thanks Obama economics...hehehe. Do you happen to know the part name or number of the International kit to repair the non-serviceable plug? I would be interested in getting it from anybody except this International guy that's trying to upsale me...haha.

 

Give me a call and I will help you out. I have the kit in stock from Guzzle.

 

Beat me to it.(don't forget the release tool)


Here's an idea of what you'll be getting into.

And as always,FTE is here.

 

I just went through this on my Dad's 7.3. Mechanic wanted over a grand to replace the HPOP...we fixed it while on the truck with Guzzle's o-ring kit...total cost $20 including shipping.

First, locate the leak. You will need some degreaser, a flashlight, and an inspection mirror. Degrease the top end of the motor and let dry. Then start motor and carefully (don't stick you knee into the fan) inspect the pump (behind the fuel filter) with the inspection mirror to see where it is leaking from. There are 2 bolts back there......one on the driver's side of the pump (this is the "non-servicable" plug, and one in the middle (this is the rear plug).

If the rear plug is leaking, you can repair it on the truck......remove the oil from the HPOP with a turkey baster, hand pump, etc.... Then remove the rear plug, clean the plug and the threads inside the pump w/ a rag and some naptha. put new o-ring over plug and apply locktite (Guzzles kit has the o-rings and the locktite)....tighten to 25 ft lbs (if I remember correctly). LET SIT OVERNIGHT BEFORE YOU FILL HPOP W/ OIL OR START TRUCK.....this lets the locktite set up and ensures it will be a longer time before you have to do this again.

If the "non servicable" plug is leaking...YOU MUST REMOVE THE HPOP TO REPAIR.

You may need to have someone apply some RPMs to the motor to find the leak.

If you search this site for HPOP..you will get a ton of info...and look at Guzzles site....the pix really help.

 

This is why I am loving this site, I am so glad my wife TOLD me to look online for some help, sometimes women are RIGHT...hahaha. I saved 12ozd's link on my computer, dude, where did that info come from, it's great, and I'm getting ready to pick up the phone and call Clay at RiffRaff for my kit. dude, please get it to me quick...hahaha. I gotta' go so I can get this in motion.

 

Clay will get it to you quick. I have no doubts his customer service is top notch not many guys around like that anymore except Ed the parts guy too. I know they will have my business forever when I need something.

Let us know how it worked out for you. Welcome to FTE family. These guys around here I swear know everything about these trucks. Best place I have ever found.

 

LawnCare... Yep, with this site, you can get help from figuring out what the "clunk" your hearing is, to rebuilding your motor. Heck, I know some of these guys will go take pics of their truck to show you what they are talking about. Which is why taking pics and posting them is good, it helps the next guy. Also, If you run into problems, you can post pics and these guys can set you straight pretty quick.

Good Luck and welcome to FTE

 

Clay is awesome, he is so informative about these motors, that he just saved me alot of time and money...This is such a great site, not only will I be telling my friends to go buy a Power Stroke, I'll be sending them invites to this site if they have issues...very cool.

Thanks Clay, and thanks to everybody else on here for the help, now if I could just get one of you to come get dirty with me and have some cold ones, I'd be in heaven...hehehe.

non-serviceable plug...haha...funny how you took it to an International repair facility and the facility either chose not to tell you about this alternative or was planning on doing it for less than 100 bucks and charging you the 1300 bucks anyways...

 

If you do that, how are we going to be able to find good, low-mileage used ones to keep for ourselves???
