If you’ve got oil pooling in the 7.3 engine valley (under the fuel bowl/HPOP area), the HPOP is always on the suspect list—especially the rear/end plug and the high-pressure discharge fittings. You ca

We started this blog as a way to help our fellow Powerstroke owners keep their trucks on the road and running great. We’ve shared tons of tips and tricks to help you do just that, but often we use com

If you tow with a 1999–2003 7.3L Super Duty, you already know the weak link isn’t usually the engine—it’s usually 4R100 transmission heat issues. That’s where the Gradient Transmission Cooler (GC-TRAN

Good clean oil is extremely important to a 7.3L. Moreso than for most other engines. That's because the oil is used differently than with most other engines. The 7.3L injection system is more like a h

 If you’ve ever looked at the factory fuel banjo bolts on a 6.0L and thought “I should just drill these out,” you’re not alone—and it’s also how people end up snapping pot-metal bolts off in the head

The blue spring upgrade exists because the 6.0L Powerstroke has a fuel pressure problem that usually starts small, stays hidden, and eventually gets expensive. From the factory, the regulator in the f

Often missunderstood and done incorrectly, 7.3L HPOP line replacement is a simple job just about anyone can pull off in an hour or two. So let's get rid of the fear of the unknown that stops most of u

If your OBS 7.3 (’94.5–’97) has random misses, contribution codes, rough cold starts, or the classic “it runs better when I wiggle the valve cover plug”… you’re not imagining it. The under-valve-cover

The 7.3L and 6.0L Power Stroke engines are somewhat unique in that they use oil pressure to run their fuel injection systems. The system was created with a joint venture between Caterpillar and Intern

If you’ve owned a 1999–2003 7.3 Powerstroke long enough to do a few fuel filters, you’ve probably met the factory fuel bowl cap in its natural habitat: tired, stripped out, and one bad day away from l

Let’s talk about Powdered Metal Rods, or PMR’s as they’re more commonly called. If there’s one thing that causes the most damage to the 7.3L Powerstroke in one shot, the PMR is it. When these connecti

On a 20+ year old 7.3, the harness usually doesn’t “die” all at once. It fails the annoying way: intermittent faults, weird codes, random driveability issues, and electrical gremlins that disappear th

Oil leaks on the 7.3 are common. One of the most common areas to leak, is from the turbo pedestal. It’s also one of the most commonly misdiagnosed leaks as the oil generally leaks down the back of the

When upgrading a 7.3L Powerstroke (1994–2003) for more power, one of the first hurdles is the PCM’s built-in overboost limit, which is typically around 23–24 PSI. Exceed that, and the system throws a

The 7.3L Power Stroke’s HEUI system runs on high-pressure oil, and the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) controlls how much oil the HPOP actually sends to the injectors. When the IPR is happy, the tr

If your OBS 7.3 has a belt chirp that keeps coming back, a squeal that shows up at idle, or a habit of wearing belts faster than it should, Ford already had a fix for it. TSB 98-23-14 applies to the 1

Blown boots are some of the most common concerns in all of diesel. Just about everyone has delt with one, and when it happens, it’s always during a high stress situation. You’re towing heavy up a grad
