Gauge Installations at DieselManor- 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke

the hole you want to tap is on the pedestal....after you pull the rod out...get a 1" bolt and a tap to match...pull out the rod..drill and tap...use thread sealer and thread the bolt in.. I also used an oring with some RTV and a nut on the inside just to make sure it didn't vibrate out..

 

The aPillar mounts over the factory apillar ?

 

yes sir...there should be 4 push pins with pod..drill 4 holes in the stock piller line them up and push the pins though...snap piller into place..

 

Were would I buy a evacuation pump for a decent price ?

 

Have you ever siphoned just by sucking on a hose. It will work for the HPOP reservoir. Just takes awhile. Just start it first thing and you can be doing other work while it drains.

Use clear hose so you can see the oil coming. Hose diameter sized so it just fits through the HPOP res plug hole and long enough to reach the bottom of res and to the ground or at least a foot below the bottom of res. If the hose is tight remove the EOP sensor from the top of the res so you are sure air can get in so the siphon action works. The outlet end of the hose has to stay below the end of hose in the res.

You can also use the trucks vacuum pump, a mason jar, a couple of fittings attached through the lid and a cou[ple of pieces of hose. Hopefully someone has a link to the thread that shows the truck vac pump method.

 

go to walmat and buy a turky baster for a couple bucks..

 

Lol will that work ? Will it fit down in the hole ?

 

mod a vucume line to fit it...i have a suction gun..kind of looks like a grease gun without the handle..a vac line slips into the suction hose that comes on the gun..got it at napa for i think 10 bucks...the vacume line fits into the fill plug...

 

Thanks ron I'm in town ill stop and see if napa has one if not I have a turkey baster that I used to siphon my wind shield washer fluid out checked every thing except that before I brought the truck home from az froze up pretty good when I get home and start pulling stuff off ill keep you guys posted on any trouble I run into

 

Okay guys I can't seem to get the clamp on the back of the turbo off I sprayed it down a couple of time I can't really find a good way to pry on it ? Its lose t bolt is disengaged any tips other than cussing at it ?

 

Have you tried tapping on it with a moderate amount of force to free it? It might be stuck onto the turbo so some gentle persuasion might work.

 

I've been tapping on a screw driver that's up against the one of the three sections haven't had any luck with it budging though I'm still trying it would help a little with a longer screwdriver though but I don't have one so I guess keep pounding on it till it breaks lose any other ideas

 

Not really. That is what I did. Rap against the bolt section in the hopes it pushes at least that part off the lips.

 

Hey hey I got it what do I loosen after that back clamp is off

 

To take the turbo off the pedestal what bolts do I take out? That would be the next step right?
