I have an '02 7.3L but I really enjoy watching your Channel. just wish you were closer to Tulsa, OK so far, my '02 Excursion has not needed any engine work, just had the AC fixed this week, and all of the body mount bushings replaced, except for the Sway Bar, that thing is a bear, and the rubber bushings in it are still good.
This had the first generation '03-'04 cover on it; there are three versions. You can see a hint of light contact of the J-tube to the cover at 10:05. The Gen 2 cover was ground at the cover's manufacturer in that area for a little more clearance, and Gen 3 was for the '04 with the change in pump and rails. They are cast with a hump to clear the tube for that model's tube.
I always enjoy your videos. You do a fine job of explaining things, without all the damn dogs barking and loud music in the background like so many other peoples’ videos. You take your work seriously and it shows. The way I see it, if you’re going to take the time to make a video ( and I can only imagine how much time actually goes into making a proper video, with editing and all that) then do it like you actually mean to help a fellow out. Thank you, and know that you’re appreciated by us followers who aim to keep our rigs on the road, and keep ‘em going PROPERLY.
I have a 04 6.0 f250 right now it's a mess from different tech threw parts at it. 8 new injectors all kinds of sensors. O ring pieces in oil check valves both sides has no hpop at all. I noticed oil in the fuel also. I'm pretty sure it's rottella in fuel bowl. Guy must be an idiot put all that money into it they had to tow it to me. What the hell is wrong with ppl.
Where you located I think the shop did the same thing that happened to them had high pressure oil pump done 2 months ago now it runs when cold but as soon as it gets to running temp it dies
Hello, I follow you, I see that you do good work. I have a problem with a 2004 f250, I have a swap of 06 engine with 06 harness and the computer does not read the ficum, it works poorly, what can I do?
I have a 2004, leaf spring front end truck, with the cast hpo rail, icp front pass. rocker cover. Im building just shy of 300psi hpo, so no start at all. I replaced the stand pipe and dummy plugs, while there i noticed my ball cups were a bit loose. I dont have a way to air test. Im confused on what hpop i need, how can i tell between the two covers? Also, going to check my lpop relief tomorrow
Man im not sure if my hpop is bad on my early 03 … it feels like its holding back when under full throttle my fuel press drops to 46 psi lowest i ‘ve seen it.. then it goes up to 58ish. I changed both fuel filters no mods. Im thinking my hpop is not putting out what its supposed to . I did a pressure test on the icp port.. i dont hear any leaks. I recorded a vid with my laptop and running forscan.. o dont know how to dm message you maybe you can help? I pulled out the bottom T60 bolt no debris there. I put a new drain valve in my oil filter bowl ford part so im getting oil there.
@@AutomedicGarage Hey man i found my problem!!! J-Tube had poped off the push to connect at the branch tube. No matter what i do . .. J -tube does not want to line up. I bought another J-tube off ebay … same problem .. it does NOT LINE UP! Am i doing something wrong? Early 2003! Thank you!
@@AutomedicGarage it is strange for sure. I thought it was a bad HPOP untill i found that the J branch tube had popped off the push to connect fitting. I was getting 945psi so it was good enough to start and run but pedal to the metal was falling flat on its face. Im sure the pump is good. I just have to find a way to make sure it does not pop off again. That was my problem for sure. Early 2003s had these issues i guess. Either way thank you very much for all your help. Keep making great videos!
I have an 03 6.0 customer pay international to do a diagnostic on, and they told him it is pushing oil to the fuel bowl, to check injectors o rings, and the customer bought the o rings ,I removed all of the injectors they all looks good esept # 2 injector white o ring swollen but not cut the only diferent I spotted all of the injectors had some white under all of the white o rings I'm wandering if they're some cracked injectors cups. Engine starts with starter fluid for 15 minutes then wouldn't start again til it got cold again if you have any idea what could be I appreciate a tip.. I will help you with something. This engine was put in two years ago rebuild.
@@Benjamin-oy9fj 6.0s don’t typically have injector cup issues, hope you haven’t damaged any pistons or rods by using the starting fluid, it’s way to volatile and ignites early making it prone to crack a piston or bend a rod. If your saying it runs for 15 mins then won’t crank back up till it cools off it’s more than likely a crank no start hot due to a Hpo leak. Being it’s an 03 with the early style round pump I would bet it’s the pump or j tube orings. Injectors probably shouldn’t have been messed with and sounds like the shop didn’t know how to diagnose either. What’s your live data for icp psi, ipr %, FICM main power, FICM sync and fuel pressure on a manual gauge when problem happens?
@@stroken_7.3_the_legend dude I work on so many trucks I didn’t even remember which video this was, that was over a year ago and you are correct it was not a updated. I had to go through the video to remember what was going on. She was on a tight budget, single mom and I remember saying that we needed to order a new cover and explained why and she didn’t want to spend anymore money. It was pulling teeth to get the parts that we did.
Thanks for getting back to me! My 03 6.0 died last weekend 150 miles from the house . Was gonna cost me 1k cheapest I could find to get it towed to the house so I had it towed to a shop. They said HPOP leak , 2k to replace seals if pump bad 3K. Trucks got 195k miles on it and in shop now. What’s a man to do. I told them to replace seals if that’s all it needed figured I could replace pump myself later if needed however after watching this video I think I’d be better off long term to have them replace that pump but money don’t come free around here. Dadgum.
@@AutomedicGarageare there better options than the factory hpop or they are all the same. I ve seen videos where they supposedly install a higher pressure one to feed larger injectors . Thanks in advance hope you can answer
@@DanielGonzalezkyv diesel site adrenaline pump has 2 different versions, heavy duty and performance supposed to be a better more reliable design but I’ve never ran one personally
How do you check a new HPOP FOR LEAKS? The old one appeared to have better suction, new ,,BOSCH,, doesnt do it...where could be the most leak the pump itself or the ,,J,,tube?
@@AutomedicGarage and what should I expect from an air test? If I plug the whole on top of the pump and sent air through the whole on the buttom should the air leak through the shaft which holds the gear?
I spent over $10k on my 07 got scammed. Wish I knew about you 3yrs ago. I will bring you mine if you would like to do a video on it

Are you saying your pcm doesn’t communicate with the FICM or your scan tool doesn’t?
@@AutomedicGarage The scanner says connection failed.

@AutomedicGarage ok I got a 6.0 that needs your touch
@@tedricksimmons1561 I’m your huckleberry
is the tool for the discharge tube required to remove it?
Yes but you can make your own
You need to put a updated cover on it. You will never get the overing to stop fretting. Hardly any of the big volume shops know this.
That cover was updated and had been clearanced
