Engine detail pics, coffee table book???

Garbage_Mechanic · Sep 7, 2014

I'm 1,200 miles away from my wife's truck trying to direct my son to find the massive HPO leak that shut it down in the middle of the road. (towed home, first time ever) There used to be a link around to a book that Ford put out when the 7.3 was released. It has very clear pictures of all engine sytems such as the HPO hoses. Does anyone have a link that works to that book or some pics that show HPO hoses, HPOP etc?
Judging by the fact that wifey had the chip on race, was showing off the truck was running hard, plus the amount of oil lost quickly, I'm thinking a HPO hose burst (originals) a plug or fitting blew out, or an o ring blew out, in that order. Just hard to expalin over the phone. He is a pretty good mechanic just not experienced.
So if anyone had pics or a link it would be a great help.

Thanks!

Thanks! That is the one they came out with in 99.
I was hoping to find the 94 one it has detailed pics of everything.
The diesel technicians society site is members only so that link won't work, it used to, but they locked it.

Still looking for the 94 intro book online......

I bet this is the book you were thinking of. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380985161985?lpid=82

Another one for the SD here that loads faster. http://www.powerstrokenation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=453549

Thanks Tom, that is exactly the book I have ....somewhere. At least folks back home know what it looks like now.

That is the one I need to find online. It is much better for our trucks.

You used to be able to get it at the Diesel Technicians Society site but now you can't get to it (at least I can't now). Cheers!

I'm almost certain it's the hpop hoses.

Yep, that is what I ran into. Somebody must have a copy or have it saved somewhere!

I've got a copy of that or a very simular early Ford PSD intro book somewhere but its buried under a pile of stuff. ...

Would a 1996-2000 F-250/350 service manual work? Got it on DVD and can send you one ASAP.

Garbage Mechanic,

I have it, but it is a 39MB pdf file (generally too large to email). If you want, I can try parsing into more manageable pieces tomorrow from work and sending via multiple emails. PM me your email address if you want me to try that. Cheers!

PM'd Thanks!!!

Patrick Feeley · Sep 9, 2014

No problem! It will be in 4 separate emails. Let me know if there are any problems with the attachments. Cheers!

Is there a way to post those here somewhere for everyone elses benefit? They sure make it easy for someone new to PSD's to understand where everything is.

and Patrick, thanks for your help. My son was able to find the leak in 5 minutes once we were both looking at the same picture.

I can probably get that posted up in the library if someone wants to email it to me.

Patrick Feeley · Sep 14, 2014

Tom,

PM me your email address and I will send it in 4 parts due to the size. Since the original file was 39MB, I split it into 4 10MB (approximately) chunks. If you have access to full Adobe Acrobat you could reassemble it into a single file. Cheers!
