Brondondolon - I would plan on it yes, it's really not that much more work. Just have to take the alternator off the front, and the intake manifold just unbolts. The gaskets are supposed to be reusable, but depending on mileage and if they've ever been touched, I would probably plan on getting a set anyways, they're not too much $.

The difference between the 03 intake manifold and the newer ones is the 03 has a piece in the back behind the turbo that connects each side, like a big oval. The later one's are just a U shape, and don't have that connection piece in the back.

The one on the left is the 03 intake manifold, and you can also see the round style 03 egr cooler, compared to a newer intake manifold with a newer square cooler.
It didn't look to be too much more work, I seriously considered taking mine off for the EGR cooler delete. I know it sounds pretty hillbilly, but would it hurt anything to cut that out?

I wasn't fetching a wedding cake, but I was JUST here and missed it, too.

Well round two is about to begin. Just got my nut extractor for the stripped turbo bolt however I can't find the 3rd bolt am I missing something or is there only 2 bolts?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

well i dont believe this guys... so i broke the back screw loose and felt a sense of victory for over coming this nut from hell... but it prevailed as the victor... at first it was coming out then it started getting pretty hard to remove and eventually stripped out my nut extractor... i dont know what im gonna do at this point i have to go back to the hardware store and get a new bolt extractor this screw can go back to hell for all i care

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

well used 3 different style nut extractors to no avail now the nut is completely round... i dont know what im gonna do now because i gotta drill it out fml...

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i wonder if i JB weld a socket onto the screw if it will have enough strength to pull it out

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

HA HAAAAAA!!!!! well boys.... i got it off. boo ya!!! how i did it: i took a craftsman screw extractor size 17mm and instead of trying to torque it off by the head i torqued it off by the washer that is attached to it and it came riiiiight out pretty clever idea but unfortunately i cant take the credit i found a video that suggested i did that ill link it and ill also link some pics of the screw in a bit. for now im back to the truck its 12:22 am and im gonna burn some midnight oil but ill prob be back in about 30 min with a problem trying to get the back screw off haha wish me luck

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

well like i said... 30 min later and im back here... im not using air tools because i dont have them so go figure the only way the up pipe clamp can be removed is with a pneumatic ratchet... fml

tell me about it... watch though with my luck ill get it all put back together and ill still have the same problem because im not replacing the ipr how ever i am gonna clean it and i got the filter for it.

i also got the hpop update kit. i have a 2003 does it apply to mine or did i waste $73? part number 4C3Z-9B246-F

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

actually while im at it is there anything else im gonna need? i want this truck done tomorrow so i dont want to run into a prob at like 9pm and find out i need another part

so far i have
HPOP
ICP
red lock tight
black gasket sealant
HPOP update kit 4C3Z-9B246-F

as im looking at my pump and the upgrade kit i think i F***ED up the only thing i think i could possibly utilitize in the kit is the ipr filter and o rings... but at 73 dollars i dont think its worth it to keep it

is there a gasket for the turbo that im gonna need to replace or a gasket on the hpop cover? any other gaskets or things i need to get or do while im replacing the hpop and icp?

dude... i cant thank you all enough. this has been the worst job ive ever done on any car/truck. so i thank you all for the insight help and support thank you

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

wow... please dont tell me i am gonna need to check the back lash on the gear... and that im gonna need a special tool to get the hose off the pump... please... i just read a thing that said i did here is the link were is the high pressure oil pump on a 2003 ford f250 ... - JustAnswer

Maybe something like this would work:


Mine had been R&R'd by the dealer in 08, so it was easy to get to my band clamps.

Holy crap... keep at it man, you'll get it. You shouldn't need any air tools for this job, though they would probably speed things up.

I was wondering about the HPOP upgrade for the 03?? thought the only thing was for the flexline coupler, the sct fitting is for the 05 pumps only I thought as they changed it for 06and 07

I think the HPOP design for the 03's is different but I don't believe there is a "kit" to buy for it, I thought the only upgraded kit was for the STC fitting!?
