  1. The tools are the same as the ones that you use with head off.ALL CUPS CAN BE REMOVED WITH ENGINE IN PLACE!You take a regular pitman arm puller (the one with the solid two jaws) Remove center bolt-- Find a bolt that threads into the cup removal tap. Put the bolt through the puller and into the tap (that is cut into the cup use a penny to plug the hole), you may have to use some sockets to get a good base for the puller arms Then just turn the bolt to pull up the tap and cup it works very slick. You may find that a nut can be used on the bolt or other slight variations of the set up but thats it. Thanks to Dave from washington state who told me this method, I thought that was pretty nice of him, so I thought I would pass it on to you.

  2. Checking for metal rust in fuel. Pulled the rail no signs of metal or rust. There is rust and metal in the secondary housing but that would just confirm the filter works. I have heard of the pump failing from contamination but has anyone seen the high press. pump just fail?

  3. Wow I feel better now! Jim you are right the reference value in the PE/ED is .5 at 55 psi. That was my first wrong path taken. I did Check fuel press at the schrader vale on the cooler It is 5-6 psi. Checking for no press now. Did glow plug mist test nothing. no leaks on injector return port test. will keep updating thanks so far.

  4. ..Have a 05 f-440 with intermitent no crank very hard to duplicate. It seems to have a pause when turn key to start. Most time starts somtimes nothing. Checked everything I could think of. Customer just purchased truck and has no clue what this key fob that has "identity" written on it(it has a button and a red light when pressed it changes nothing). Thought it was some sort of security thing but a can not find anything hooked into the wiring. Anyone seen this type of key fob?

  5. My first question is Why are you replacing the head gasket on a 7.3? Just wondering for my future reference. Usaully the oil pan is rusted through along with the other repair so pulling the engine is nessary then away.(i know some people do the pan in the chasis, just my 2 cents)

  6. Have a 03 7.3 that blows coolant out degas cap. I have a programmer installed with p0605 codes. Now trans is burnt up slipping badlots of metal in pan . I am thinking that it needs headgaskets. I have never heard of a 7.3 do this. Has anyone had a 7.3 blow coolant out the cap becaues of head gasket failure. Or could I have other cocerns? I would assume that the programmer overboosting this thing over time is the problem. Any help would be appriciated Thanks
