It seems harder and harder to find quality service these days. I know exactly how it feels to spend days and money fixing a problem only to jump into it again because of poor-quality parts. Jason
I've had a few of those high pressure fittings leak on my 7.3 van on trips as well. Definitely know the feeling. In addition to the o-rings being viton, the fittings need to be properly torqued, which is hard to do given the confined space that ford engineers chose to stuff that damn motor into. I found out the hard way that the torque specs for those hydraulic fittings are super important after the fitting on my crossover line backed off, sprung a leak, and shredded the o ring while going down the highway in the middle of nowhere, Idaho (I installed it with a crows foot and torque wrench, but the last turn was at a strange angle and I ended up not using the torque wrench because it was too long). Like you, I've taken to carrying extra viton o rings and high pressure oil rail fittings in my tool box just in case. Good job on making this video, I feel like people buy these things without realizing how many points of failure a HEUI system has. Especially when they get to be older.
Much respect sir, you are always honest and possess an abundance of integrity. It is just too bad that you have to deal with companies and individuals that don't have these traits. See you on the next one.
I've always had good luck with Dieselsite. But I have never used their HPOP lines. For those I use cncfab. I do a lot of shopping around from place to place. I have dieselsite, cncfab, riffraff, kcturbo, etc etc parts on my trucks. But I completely understand the anger on those orings. When its you in the freezing cold changing out parts its not a very zen day. FYI off topic, get you some Molykote55 for orings!! (or any rubber type seal). it will swell the rubber ever so slightly after a few heat cycles (and keeps them from ripping on install). I was skeptical but it really does make your rubber seals last longer!
So I put cnc fab hpop lines and absolutely love them! I did opt for the hpop from cnc as well, for the price of the adrenaline I purchased some extra parts! Appreciate your honesty! 7.3 powerstroke reminds me of an old 6.5s in the chevys, you need a ton of extra parts from that brand incase it takes a dump.
That’s with any 30 year old truck, especially diesels. I’ve seen people online bashing the 7.3 because of maintenance items going bad, listen you buy any old truck- be prepared to go through it and make sure you use manufacturer approved parts. But yes, keeping parts on hand is always a great idea!
It is important to share both the good and not so good, as it represebts true life. Thank you for sharing this. Anything other than that would honestly be misleading.
I would be so frustrated. It’s not like you just threw something from Amazon on there, you spent good money for a quality product to have reliability and it bit you like it was manufactured in China. I’m doing the CNC lines with my adrenaline, but now I’m going to go through that thing tonight before install as I don’t want to be stranded with my boat behind me somewhere I cannot access parts easily.
I have a 2003 7.3 with a leaking (somewhere) stock HPOP and trying to decide whether to replace it with a proven Ford HPOP or go with an aftermarket (adrenaline). I've been viewing and reading many posts on YT. It sounds like CNC is a popular pump, too. The last thing that I want to do is be stranded somewhere with no support. You sound like someone very experienced. Do you have any thoughts you could share?
Great information... thanks for the input. I agree NOT cool that they NEVER once apologized nor tried to make it right. I will NOT be shopping there I can tell you that.
Iam having the same problem with my after market lines leaking. Now I know where to look my hpop just failed and I ordered a Adrenaline pump so I will check loose o rings.
I see that they list a HPOP O-ring set. For $28-. Jennifer claims that they are Viton. Can anyone chime in with experience? What did you end up doing moving forward?!?

Thanks for this info…I’ll probably steer clear of their pump as well as their lines!

Same exact thing happened to me. I think I bought mine frome cnc fab. I now have a viton o ring kit. I eventually will replace them all.
An absolute shame. I have one of their pumps on my work bench. Now I'm wondering.

hope it helped

What did you end up doing moving forward?!?
Went to ford for a #5 Vinton oring
@@WanderingBeast Right on thanks for that. Just ordered the Adrenaline from FFD this morning for my 4x4 7.3 van. Will be using my stock lines.
Same exact thing here the lady jen actually cussed me on the phone great customer service 😮
That's where experience in knowing what your lookat inspection g parts before you install. TKes a lot of mistakes to get there also trust no one
go get you a viton oring kit from harbor freight!
