If you'd like to replace standpipes on early engines, see: 2003 to early 2004 6.0L Power Stroke standpipe replacement procedures Special tool required to remove the nipple cup retainersĬomplete kit, includes standpipes and "dummy plugs" for both banks. Oil rail nipple cup/ball tube removal tool PARTS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED/REPLACE IF DAMAGEDĪ leaking nipple cup o-ring can and will damage an injector o-ring Also removes the same fitting type for the turbocharger drain tube. Required on 2003 and early 2004 model year engines in order to remove the braided standpipe-to-oil rail hose. Replace engine oil after replacing injector(s)
Replace fuel filters after replacing injector(s)
NOT required for factory Ford replacement injectors, which come with new o-rings and copper washer, ready to install Recall that with both the 7.3L and 6.0L Power Stroke engines, oil pressure is everything when it comes to injection pressure. 6.0L Power Stroke nipple cups and nipple cup seals are particularly important components that can cause a reduction of oil pressure to an injector. At the very least, the high pressure oil rail nipple cups/ball tubes, nipple cup seals, and standpipes should be replaced on high mileage engines. There are many components hidden under the valve covers that we highly recommend replacing if they have not recently been done so. Neglecting to replace worn injectors may result in excessive fuel dilution of the engine oil and therefore increased engine wear. If a single high mileage injector fails, the remaining seven are likely close to a similar fate. If the fuel injectors fit into this range we highly advise replacing all 8 injectors simultaneously to reduce labor cost and time. However, 6.0L Power Stroke injector life is typically in the 150,000 to 200,000 mile range, with most owners beginning to experience symptoms of injector trouble at the early end of that spectrum. On that note, injectors may be replaced individually as necessary they do not need to be replaced in sets. Additionally, a misfire DTC should be set (check engine light will illuminate), identifying the dead cylinder. (1) Sinister Diesel Remanufactured IDM for 7.A failed fuel injector will be blatantly obvious and the ensuing misfire will be easily detectable.Case Cover is replaced and the enclosure is modified and updated to prevent water intrusion.Remanufactured with NEW Components that meet or exceed OEM Standards.All units are 100% tested prior to shipment, and they are covered by a two-year/24,000-mile warranty. The case features Sinister Diesel's signature blue anodized finish.Ĭhoosing a remanufactured IDM 7.3 from Sinister Diesel is a cost-effective solution to pricier OEM IDM. To help prevent future damage, the case cover is replaced and the enclosure is modified and updated to prevent water intrusion. To make sure you're not left with expensive repair bills, Sinister Diesel offers a remanufactured 7.3 IDM.įor the remanufacturing process, each module is completely disassembled and remanufactured with NEW internal components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Such failures result in voltage drops, and if this happens, the engine could suffer from a severe loss of power or even no-start conditions. Like any of the other electronic vehicle controllers found in today's vehicles, though, the IDM 7.3 is susceptible to damage from water intrusion and internal component failure. This advanced fuel injection system is controlled by the injector drive module (IDM), which works with the vehicle’s on-board computer, and it is responsible for developing the high-voltage signals necessary to actuate the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injectors (HEUI) utilized by the PowerStroke engine. The 7.3L PowerStroke diesel engine is known for its power, and that power is due in large part to the high-pressure direct fuel injection design. Fits: 1999-2003 Ford F-Series w/ 7.3L Powerstroke
