How to Choose a Replacement HPOP for a Power Stroke

Choosing a high-pressure oil pump for a 7.3L or 6.0L Power Stroke means correct application, quality new or reman, and fixing the leaks that mimic a bad pump.

Match the application

The HPOP is specific to the 7.3L or 6.0L and its year. Confirm the correct pump, since the high-pressure oil systems differ between these engines.

New or quality reman

A new pump is the simplest choice; a quality reman offers value. Either way, buy a unit that can build the volume the injectors need, particularly on higher-mileage or modified trucks.

  • Correct engine and year
  • Quality new or reman
  • Adequate volume for your setup

Rule out leaks first

Leaks in the high-pressure oil system, such as O-rings, the STC fitting, and standpipes on the 6.0L, mimic a weak HPOP. Confirm the pump is actually the problem before replacing it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the HPOP is bad?

Low injection control pressure and hard hot starts, but first rule out leaks in the high-pressure oil system that mimic a weak pump.

New or reman HPOP?

New is simplest; a quality reman offers value. Choose one that builds adequate volume for your setup.

What leaks mimic a bad HPOP?

O-rings and, on the 6.0L, the STC fitting and standpipes can bleed pressure and look like pump failure.
