    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    It's been awhile since I've worked on pickup but wanted to give an update for others who may experience similar problems. I have put in a new ipr valve with no change. Swapped pcm with known good one and no change. Watched ipr signal on oscilloscope and looked good. Decided to check for airation...

    Can I use an IPR with edge filter in a early 99 HPOP?

    I posted this over in the 94-97 section a few weeks ago but didn't get any bites so figured I'd try here. I have a non returnable IPR with edge filter and a early 99 HPOP on my 95. Will using the early IPR in my later pump cause any problems? I don't think it would but figured I better ask the...

    Can I use an ipr with edge filter in a later model HPOP?

    I ordered a Ford ipr with edge filter off eBay and when I pulled the one out of my 95 I saw it didn't have an edge filter in the ipr. I then remember I replaced the pump back in 05 with a new one from international. After much digging I found the receipt, ran the PN and the pump is an early 99...

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Yesterday I swapped out the cam sensor with no change. Checked everything over a hundred times. Also put the old filter back on with no change. The bypass valve was still in the filter mount. Took it to my cousins shop and put the computer on it and it miraculously started working just fine. Or...

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Well due to life happening I finally was able to work on my pickup again. I installed a gauge to measure oil rail pressure the other night. I have found through a few nights of testing my hpop pressure is fluctuating. All pressure readings were done in neutral since I cannot close the hood with...

    I just did a standard oil change. Still have old filter too. I'll pull filter tomorrow and check that valve in the filter mount. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Just doesn't make sense to me that it would be a problem till I change oil brands. What other than oil or ICP sensor would cause pressure fluctuations after driving? Ipr? It sat and idled 10 minutes in the yard no problem till I took it down the road. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Pail says lubrication engineers 8800 15-40. What else could it possibly be besides the oil? Only thing that was changed was the filter and the oil. Same Baldwin PN on new filter just different oil manufacturer. Engine ran perfectly fine before oil change. I know it doesn't really seem plausible...

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Oil level is spot on the full Mark on the dipstick. I could possibly rig up a pressure gauge, at work we have a set of high pressure gauges for testing hydraulics. Would just need to buy an adapter or two. Would I just be looking for a big drop in pressure when the engine starts surging? One...

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Also took it for a drive around the block with ICP unplugged, idle was choppy and sounded strange when pushing in clutch from cruising speed, also could feel engine surge when driving so this oil is coming out. Really hope it didn't screw anything up! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Just swapped the ICP with the one off the 2000 I know is good, same issue as before. Looks like I get to dump this expensive oil out and flush the motor with something else. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    No micro bypass planned, was shooting for 7500 miles just so I don't have to change it all the time. Next spring/summer I plan on using the truck to start running some hotshot loads to make a little extra money. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    95 7.3 surging after oil change.

    Hello all, just did an oil change on my pickup and it now has a horrible surge at all rpms. Was running motorcraft 15-40 with the big Donaldson filter which was running absolutely perfect. Switched to lubrication engineers monolec 15-40 cause I wanted to make the switch to synthetic to start...

    Main cap walking/fretting on stock tune.

    Obviously filing the block and trimming the main caps is part of the align hone process, if you tried to hone the mains on a block straight you would be way bigger than the main bore max diameter spec and loose all bearing crush causing an immediate spun bearing.
