HI all
I have a 05 6.0 PSD something went through my LPOP, getting ready to pull the pan to see if i can see anything . Any ideas on what might of gone through it and what to look for . Read some thing about a STC clamp once , dont know what that is or where. Any help would be great.

 

If your high pressure system is leaking large amounts, it will effect the low pressure volume. You may not have a trashed LPOP.

 

Welcome to FTE jaycool 47 What makes you think the low pressure pump is done? The lpop gears do break on occasion and trash the front cover, also do you use any after market programming? The snap to connect fitting (STC) is on the high pressure oil pump and the STC does not break or scatter pieces, it just separates allowing high pressure oil to escape.

 

I have seen posts here that were backed up by guys like Cheezit where failed STC fittings have broken the rear cover.

 

I have had to do 3 branch tube do to that.

can you maybe provide some pics of the both gears, the pump cover and the front cover were the pump sits in. with that maybe we can provide some sound advice.
I have seen lots o stuff run through them and seen a few broken, saw one that ate the front of the crank.

 

Thanks so much for the quik responses you guy are awsome . I do have the gerotor pump off and the front cover and pump housings are both scored pretty bad like something went through it. Im thinking my next step should be pulling the pan off and checking to see if something is coming loose up in there.Judging by the depth of the score i dont see how somthing that big could get by the screen.

 

jay once again I would ask you to post a picture or a link to pics of the damage done to the pump. I can reconize most of the marks from damaged g-rotor pumps. depending on what the damage is depends on were to look first or if you should even bother looking.
I have seen lifters come apart, stc fittings, drings, rockers all pass through and cause damage. the worst case will be a lifter.

so far as trash getting past the screen when you see the screen looks more like a 1/16 scale chain link fence it will make sence.

 

The most I have seen are needle bearings and high RPM failure due to some aggressive tunes. Are you using any tuner? As Cheezit mentioned, the pickup screen is pretty big.

 

I will try to get some pics today and post them for you cheezit. Not useing any tuner all stock. Going to try to get those pics on if i can figure out how. thanks again guys.
Wait a minute is a tuner like an update or more like a chip ?

 

Having trouble posting my pics from my document file . Can anyone help with that please.

 

Will the pan come off without pulling engine or raising it up a bit?

Jaycool, Ok try this..Click Go Advanced; When screen opens click on the paper clip on top; Window will open; click browse (Upload File from your computer) Go to your documents where the pictures are at. Click on the file and than open. Than click Upload...That's It...Good Luck

 

I am not seeing a paper clip on the go advance thing.Nothing seems to work. Heeeeelp.

 

post them on photobucket or flicker and just put up a link we can click a link too.
