- At the beginning of the video, I misspoke and meant to say the brass shavings I found on my Injectors were similar in size/thickness to the cheap gold wrappers you'd find on chocolate gold coins. Maybe not the best analogy, but I hope it made some sense LOL!
Now that the pump is fully disassembled, I finally know why the truck ran the way it did when I first bought it. There was so much internal damage that it simply couldn't deliver the pressures the truck was needing. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see a vid showing disassembly , so many just show replacement -- your problem came from the swash plate holder rotating in the housing -- this throws the internal "timing" off between the pistons and valve plate -- so the pistons are trying to pump oil when the valve plate in in the wrong position -- that aluminum part is only pressed in the housing , with no locating feature -- a simple dowel pin or locating notch would have eliminated your failure -- but that is the way parts suppliers shortcut the manufacturing process these days
That’s really insightful! Thank you very much for that. So do you think all those brass shavings were from the internals not being clocked properly? I changed the oil when I replaced the pump and noticed very very fine metal flake on the magnet of my oil drain plug. You think both would be related simply from a catastrophic failure in the pump itself?
@@ydocproductions5593 Sorry I had not seen the notification -- At about 8.05 in your vid, you can see the location of the small hole in the swash plate -- it has rotated around some -- The small hole is positioned at the highest point in the suction cycle of the pump -- if you look at the valve plate slots, that point would be at the mid position of the suction slot.
When the pump gets out of time like yours was -- the piston action and valve slots no longer line up -- the pistons force the oil out anyways, even if the valve slot is not open -- this leads to high case pressure and chattering of the pistons -- so you get the brass chips from the pistons slamming
Again great vid -- I appreciate your curiosity for the insides of that pump -- Don't ever lose that curiosity .
I swear I've seen an entire rebuild kit for one but I can't find it now
Great video. Finally know what’s in there and where the brass shavings come from. I have been looking for this forever. Provided no mechanical failure an hpop could go forever just by replacing seals and bearings.
Thank you I’m glad the video was helpful. It’s a simple design all things considered. Not a ton that can break in there but somehow something went catastrophically wrong in this pump. I’m sure using the proper oil with consistent oil changes helps to.
For your seal, drill a very small hole, get a long self-tapper and use a slide hammer. Just some helpful FYI
Thanks for the video
Very good advice. Thanks for watching glad you liked it!
Nice someone's posted this. The industry that rebuilds these trys to keep it secret.
I have a couple 6.0 hpops here i shoujd open snd post. Internal parts woukld be a challenge to get abuold of, but at least we would all know whats inside and how to access the guts.
Nice video brother!
Thank you! You should! You never know how many people might need that information for their own projects.
@@ydocproductions5593 I'll get a video up and posted next week sometime. I'll likely use your format as used here with a disassembly how too and all. You're doing the Lord's work here sir, and it's motivated me to chip in!
Have a SUPER weekend man!
@@georgesrisomsak9650 that’s great to hear! I look forward to seeing it!😀👍
I can't believe the price for such a simple item. $2,200 for this in Australia
$2,200!?! That sounds like a rip off to me.
It totally is, a brand new 2024 super duty is $210,000 and an old 7.3powerstroke superduty with 100,000 miles on the clock are still going for 70k.
@@user-le8ht4sc4h Wow! I had no idea the prices were that inflated over the pond. That’s amazing!
Pretty cool to see how it all works Cody! 😁👍 Nice job with the video 🔧
Thanks Zane! It’s nice to get some hard proof evidence on why the pump failed in the first place. I’ll be able to spot a failure a lot easier if I ever wrench on another one. Hope you’re having a good weekend so far😀👍
Bro , you may find the bores in the piston block that the pistons travel in were excessively worn , this could account for the poor performance and the brass glitter that was present . Good video 👍🏻
Thank you! I didn’t take that into consideration and it’s very possible. Im not exactly sure who made that pump, but it was made very poorly.
Awesome video bud. Thanks I really enjoyed it. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video😀👍
Interesting teardown!
Ya it was fun to see how it all worked. All things considered it’s a pretty simple design compared to other pumps. That being said you can see that if one part is out of spec the whole pump was pretty much out of commission.
The discoloration on the shaft was probably just from the heat treatment process. There could have been a small burr in the barrel. That would of caused the pump to start self destruction.
I didn’t think of that Jason that’s probably exactly what it was. I have no clue what brand of pump it was, but it was pretty obvious that whoever made them used sub par parts. I was happy to get some answers on why it failed.
Thanks for sharing this info with all of us! I have a pump from a 6.0 that's giving me trouble and when I put air pressure in it, it starts leaking from the front where the gear goes.
Hi Jamie I’m glad you liked the video! I can’t really speak on the 6.0 HPOP because the 7.3 is a different design, but at least in the 7.3 hpop there is a front seal. If you’re hearing an air leak it could be a sign of a bad oring perhaps?
I already tested all the pressure lines and they are fine. Also installed new o-rings. I'm going to replace the front seal on it and see what happens@@ydocproductions5593
I just noticed some tiny "copper" looking chunks in the oil rail while cleaning the injector bores for new injector cups. Have you needed to replace any injector since replacing your hpop? Have you inspected any to see if those chunks made it inside?
@@matthewjcoppolable hi Matthew, I’ve never had to replace injectors only the injector orings (have a video on it). I don’t think any of the “copper” chunks your talking about would make it inside the cylinder but I’ve heard the brass injector cups can deteriorate over time. Could be where those chunks are coming from.
That must be an Adrenaline HPOP. Only manufacturer I know of that builds the pumps with ball bearings. Are you the original owner of the truck?
@@akquicksilver it’s still a mystery to this day what brand of pump it was. Whatever went wrong with it went wrong pretty spectacularly🤣.
I’m not the first owner. To the best of my knowledge I’m the 3rd or 4th owner. Still a bone stock truck though.
In my mind to untime the pump it was asked to do more than normal for that to happen or something was blocked ?? Thanks in advanced if u know the amswer !!
Do u have a chip on the truck ? 90 hp or 100 hp or the Edge performance chip ? Im wondering why the timing of the pump got off every 1 ive done is because it wont pump enough oil psi to start the truck and u had plenty of oil psi just out of time so this is new to me everything i work on is work trucks not play trucks !!
Hi Ricky, no there wasn’t any tuners on the truck at all. I even went as far as to remove the kick panel under the dash to look at the back of the ecm and the factory plastic material was still in place where a chip would plug into. Also no aftermarket gauges or evidence of someone drilling into the dash and also stock injectors. To my knowledge it’s a completely stock truck.
Answer spell check works when it wonts to !!
Nice work on this. What symptoms did the vehicle have that made you think it was the pump? Did the pump have any leaks? Thanks for the time.
Hi, I had a lot of issues with this truck when I bought it not being able to get past 35mph on the road without throwing the p1211 code. (Injection control pressure higher or lower than desired). There wasn’t any oil leaks however the power would fall flat on its face. Harder to start, (definitely compared to my new pump), plus the vehicle would act perfectly fine once the vehicle was restarted. On top of all that I had a leaking mechanical diesel fuel pump, so it turned out it was a perfect storm for low low power.
This was my first diesel truck and so I had to learn from ground zero on how everything works on a HEUI system. So if your after some more info, and maybe some diagnostics you’d like to try on your own truck I have several videos spread across a few years of me trying to find the problem if you’d like to check them out. Thanks a lot for watching and welcome to the channel.
Thanks for the reply sir! Yeah, I watched some of your others and now I just need to find time for more testing. @@ydocproductions5593
I've been stranded in the desert for 8 months. I have a p1211 code and even tho my scanner says my ipr is supposedly 60% my icp pressure is topping at 1200 psi. Not sure if that means I need a new icp sensor or hpop. I'm sitting on someone's property and was told I need to leave soon. So I'm desperate for answers. I was told if you take a 7.3 hpop from a powerstroke apart that i would ruin it. Could I take my hpop apart to see if its the culprit? Could I find the components for sale somewhere if I did take it apart?
Well it sounds like your IPR valve is trying to force as much oil as it can to the injectors and can’t supply enough oil. IPR valves only go to 60% meaning the computer is fully closing that valve trying to get as much oil as it can to the injectors. As for the ICP sensor it sounds like it’s reading pretty low. These high pressure oil pumps are able to make roughly 3,000psi of pressure, so if your ICP sensor is only reading 1,200psi it could mean your pump is faulty.
I wouldn’t dive into your hpop it’s too risky to tear it apart cause there are certain parts that need to be clocked in the right position in order to function right. Also there’s really no internal parts that you can buy individually either. Very possible it could be a worn out HPOP.
Before you replace the most expensive single part on the truck however, make sure you get a reading of fuel pressure first if you can under a load. Sometimes a faulty fuel system can throw a p1211 code. In my opinion it sounds like you have an oil pressure problem however, you want to test as much as you can on the truck before you start loading the parts cannon at it. That’s where things start to get expensive.
Does anyone have a whole rebuild kit for the hpop like that seal that he messed up and the bearings and the other stuff?
@@alexriel6013 i don’t think there is one out there. All that’s for sale are rebuilt HPOPs. You can get different orings but not the internal parts
@@ydocproductions5593 man the really should make one bc that's a money maker right there lol and do stages for the kits too
@@alexriel6013 that’s actually a really good idea!
@@ydocproductions5593 yeah to bad I can't do it myself or know how to go about making it come true tbh
How much did you buy that for?
I believe it was $650 with a $200 core charge. I got my pump from RiffRaff Diesel down in southern Oregon. They’re a great company and had excellent customer service when I needed to ask some questions. Can’t recommend them enough.
Good morning. I’ve got an S.O.S. Situation I was desperately hoping you could help with. Is there a way to contact you? Maybe fb or something? I went to replace the oring in the back while HPOP was still in truck. Couldn’t get the plate off so had a brilliant idea to bump the starter a bit to use pressure to pop the plate off. Well, the plate came off but the internals came out about 3/16” and I can’t figure out how to convince it to go back in… it’s where the rear bearing is in your video, though on mine it looks different as I can’t visibly see that it’s a bearing like on yours. I’m Johny B. Good on F B if you feel like helping someone out in a pinch I’d really appreciate it!
Morning Johny, well I’ve never heard of this happening to anyone before so I’m not exactly sure what advice would best help you but it sounds like you’re in quite a mess. The problem Johny is that the internals of the HPOP (swash plate etc.) are clocked with the internal oil passages. Those parts and pieces have to be in there just right to flow oil to the heads at the right time. I know you don’t want to hear this, but to me it sounds like you need to replace the entire pump. It would be too risky to try to get all those internals back in just right. Remember these pumps are able to build up to about 3,000psi of oil pressure for a reason.
If you really need to fix it yourself feel free to leave me an email at: ydocproductions777@gmail.com
Also if you want to get some advice from a genuine professional call Mr. Williams down at Diesel Care and Performance.com down in Tennessee. He’s been working on diesels longer than I’ve been alive.
You could also call the kind folks over at RiffRaff diesel.com and ask to speak to one of there diesel techs. Someone might be able to help you out there. I wish I had better news for you man, but I hope you get it sorted out!
@@ydocproductions5593thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. I am usually the guy that errs on the side of caution but every now and then I get into one of those moods of taking short cuts and risks. Pulled the pump off this morning and tried rotating the shaft as I pressed the rear cap back in and no dice. Guess it’s a good maintenance item and should be good for another 100k+ now. Thanks for responding. Got a pump In my cart sadly. Bye $500
@@jcbenson01 that’s too bad man. I wish I had better advice to fix it, but take it from someone who dealt with a faulty HPOP for 2 years, you really don’t want to jerry rig something back together when it comes to such a fine tuned pump like that. It’s the heart of the entire vehicle and if it’s not running just right it’ll give you all sorts of issues. Sorry you have to buy a new pump (I hope it’s a solid brand) but I think you made the right decision👍.
