Yes it can be involved -- rear cover, trans, etc and it's easily a 20-hr job, but before all that I'd get a DETAILED analysis if it is indeed the branch tube ---- there are plenty of other possibilities (e.g STC Fitting)............the later model HPOPs (like yours) don't fail that much (unlike the early 2003/4s)
Branch tube or not????????
Here i am again 2005 Ford F 450 6.0 i have paid Ford for the following
High pressure pump
Low pressure pump
injectors
front cover with gears
The symptoms are the truck starts right up and drives perfect until you turn it off. A diesel tech said the Tubes he checked them and said no tubes are all fine must be HPOP i told him Ford replaced it he said take it back!!! Took it to Ford again and now they say well we didn't dig all the way in but the tech says Branch tube!!! I said so how do i know this wasn't the problem the whole time? They said well we can't say because a different tech worked on it and is no longer with us. The branch tube is 40 hours labor so around 4000$ Owning a tow truck company truck down means loss of money but my question is how do i know it is for sure the branch tube and these guys are not just ass raping me!!!!! Thank you all in advance!!!!!
