I just removed my HPOP and dug around in the valley and found the ball! You are correct, the one I found appears to be brown plastic about 1/4" in diameter. Can't believe it was still there. I found the plug in the street.

ok so i got the hpop back on the truck,but now it wont start i figured maybe it will take a bit since it might have to make pressue of some sort ... n well ive tried and tried and still nothing... the oil gauge doesnt move up untill u turn the key forward and when u stop trying to start the truck but leave the key in the run position it holds in the middle of the guage then drops back down ? i have checked the first plugs on the oil rails and topped it off n still just cranks and cranks....what gives?

at the moment no i dont have a way to see the icp ... n ive tried n tried to start it but with no luck ... I was just looking around the site to see if i found any info that maybe i didnt see before ... and well i torqued down everything but the main bolt that holds the gear to the oil pump i tightend till the engine started spinnin and now i seen a comment about having to hold the engine from spining to place the nut at the right torque specs ... but i would say the gear is set right becasue i dont hear any binding or strange noises. I am wondering if maybe since its not torqued down right it may be causing my issue? hmm

You might want to snug that bolt down. I think it is 70 ft-lbs. It can take a while and a few charges on the batteries to get it going sometimes. Just crank it at 15-20 seconds at a time.
