Cheap Trick To A Quieter Healthier Ford 7.3 Turbo Powerstroke ! MUST SEE !! READ The Description!!!

UPDATE: READ: I made the video on what someone told me. Then I found out.....
**The "drain holes" are actually the inlet and outlets to the reservoir. I tried to keep it simple. Basically what is happening is that you are putting fresh oil (and/or oil additive) closet to the injectors in a simple way. This flushes them and the reservoir of any build up in my opinion. My bus engine sat up for years before I installed it. I'm nowhere near a certified diesel mechanic. I'm going by the information passed to me. When I did it the engine and injectors quieted down significantly. I did it one more time when I changed the whole engine oil. and added 1:1 ratio of injector cleaner. And continue to see a big difference. I encourage everyone to do their own research.**

Thank you for the help . Especially if the engine zits awhile

Wrong or right I just love how he’s having a cigarette doing this video

I use an empty Lucas bottle for refilling the hpop, holds a qt and the plastic tip fits perfect in the fill hole.

I didn’t know about doing this when changing the oil in my truck until I saw this video. I have a 1997 F-250 with 263k miles. I was sure that I had some injectors going bad or something because the truck would blow a lot of smoke when starting it up cold. It would idle rough when first started and smoke out the driveway. After I did this procedure a couple times, the truck is running so much better! The smoke is gone! It idles just as smooth as can be even if it’s been sitting for days. I don’t mind the clatter of a diesel, but it is a little quieter now too. I appreciate you posting this video. It absolutely makes a difference and doesn’t cost anything to do!

I did this to my 1995 7.3 yesterday along with a regular oil change and it did work. Truck was at least 30% quieter than it has been in the last 10 years. I took it on a 10-mile drive today and it stayed the same. We shall see how long it lasts. I would recommend trying this.

I also do that every oil change. Clock is reaching 230, 000. Originator injectors and motor runs smooth as silk. Also added shackles to all four leaf springs, rides as good as my Armada (no more coffee spills on my shirt). Hydra chip works great, I love the pedal response. Original paint and interior, no rust on top or bottom (solid Florida F-250 extended cam short bed 4x4).

Awesome info!!! I always wondered about that dam hpop resovoir!! My truck has 400, 000 on it and I have never done it!! I will now be doing it. Thank you sir!

[drewp]

Thanks for showing us how !! I just bought a 7.3 2001 shuttle for van life. Going to do this NOW! 330, 000 miles

[miloslavbritovic]

Old oil at the 2:30mark and after the oil change at the 9:55 mark. Really is a significant difference. I’ll be doing to it my ‘01 with 262000 miles on it.

[seekrepair]

By comparing 2:34 and 10:04, I can clearly hear a difference. Thank you. Well done, sir.

My two cents for the comments section:
Any reservoir, by nature, has the ability to collect sediment. In theory, if you wanted to go the extra mile, one could try flushing the reservoir with mineral spirits or something similar. I wouldn't start the truck during the flush...just fill/evacuate with the flushing agent a few times before final oil fill. Bonus points if you can figure out a way to agitate the flushing mixture inside the reservoir.

[tomoconnor]

For everyone to know. Yes this does help. The problem is really the injector solenoid clearances. The oil does help to be changed in the top just to get out the crap in the reservoir. They make a shim kit to resolve the problem. Or you have a leaking o ring. 7.3 injector never really go bad unless you beat the living f--- out of the thing.

Great video. I just picked up a 94, Low miles and very well taken care of but this will be one of the first things I will do to it.

[biodveghead]

Totally works and very true... The rate at which the oil in the reservoir is completely cycled or changed during normal operation is around 6to1 versus the rest of the engine. After a long road trip, or hard run, it takes just a few minutes to cycle thru a few clean runs thru the HPOP.

[joedandrea]

Sounds so healthy now def gonna try this

[pc]

Definitely made it rev easier, just listening to the first start then ff to the second one, you can hear the turbo on the second rev faster and easier no studder, I will be trying it out for sure on my 99 7.3.

[HimanshuShekhar]

Thank goodness i ran into this video you uploaded, what a good man!
I am going to be doing this here within the next few days on my 2002 F350 7.3L

[IAmInTheIAm]

Good video, thanks! Stay-lube makes a cheap pump for gear lube that fits right in that little reservoir filler hole, works great, about $6 at Napa.

That brotha gotta cigarette in his hand! He know what he talking bout!

[giterdun]

The vans engine is buried in the engine bay with the air intake shrouding the whole top of what's left in there. Of course it's going to be quieter than the open engine pick up truck. Bleeding out the hpop oil is a must for longevity. Add some Prolong to it also.

My favorite additive prior to the oil change is Sea Foam....Clean, clean, clean!
