HPOP issues!?
I have viewed the numerous post relating to HPOP issues and this site has been very helpful. Unfortunatly I feel I need to post to get some opinions on my situation.
I have a 02 f350 7.3 with 130k miles. Truck had issue shutting off for no apparent reason then restarting after cooling. I did all the simple sensors, etc. but problem reoccurred. Finally caved and took it to dealer - they have a good diesel mechanic. His diagnosis was a HPOP problem and recommended replacement. I had a hard time with the $2300 they wanted for job so I order parts and replaced it myself. Used a "remaunfactured" unit. Install went very smooth and truck has been running great for a month.
Last night the check engine light came on, truck gradually lost power, i made it home but engine then stopped running - almost like it was running out of fuel. I could hear an unussual groan from the top center engine area and my fear was the new HPOP was dying. Now vehicle cranks over but doesnt fire.
Called pump manuf. and checked a couple things they suggested.... tighten pump drive gear and check to be sure getting fuel - all OK. The maunfacturer of the pump has actually been very helpful thus far.
I purchased a code reader but I'm not getting any codes so thats no help.
My gut tells me the HPOP is the issue - my only options seems to be replacing the pump AGAIN. Any other suggestions would be great!
Sorry for long post......
