They have stiffer spring that can be purchased that dose the same thing. Just remember with the added fuel pressure causes more strain on your seals in the bowl and system. Can blow out the tired old gaskets and such ,causing leaks. Good job on the free mod and video
One should always pull fuel from a clean container to rule out other problems before doing the mod. I did the mod 5 years ago, and the spring did get wore out. Recently I was getting less than 45 psi under load with 60 psi at idle, 70 no load. From a clean container as well as from each tank. I pulled the spring and stretched it, tossed it back in and I'm back to 100 psi idle and 80 under load. I will be ordering the updated spring. Either from ford or online, depends on price and how long I have to wait to get it. I'm curious if I could make an old injector needle spring work though. I might try that today. My next mod will be a pulsation damper like cummins uses in their PT pumps to smooth the pulses (much like a pressure tank in a well, or a capacitor in an electrical circuit) . I just haven't decided how to build it. It's possible the plastic cup on the regulator is already serving that function but has failed. If so fuel pressure between pulses will drop off dramatically, but wont be detected on a gauge with an orifice. Before I put an orifice inline with my gauge, the needle was bouncing in excess of 60 psi . Which means the injectors are only sometimes getting 60psi. Sometimes less. I will investigate this further. Bb mod is great, but it's not a long term solution, the spring should be replaced with the updated spring and then shimmed with shims from an injector kit or other similar type of washer/shim as the spring wears out. An inexpensive oil pressure gauge can be used to monitor pressure long term on the dash, it threads in where the shrader valve is. I will note that 200 psi will cause a hard start and poor running. I was playing around to see how high it would go, and anything over 100 psi is not recommended. A 700 hp drag truck uses 67 psi. So I would be shooting for 65-70 under load.
I have the same truck but it wouldn’t turn on it says it doesn’t have gas and it has full tank it started for a minute and it went of again I will really appreciate your help
I must say, these trucks do have a ton of electronics and bullshit. they just haven't gone bad. wait til they do, like on my truck ;) it's a blast haha
Just get a laptop an osb2 cable and FORScan. Tells you exactly what’s wrong.. eliminated all my guessing on my obs 97 f250HD 7.3. Makes it talk to ya!!
Have a 97.7.3. Changed the mechanical pump (Carter) two years ago along with fuel bowl assembly, hoses etc. Started leaking fuel in th o the Valley, what could be most probable cause?
There's so many possibilities I have no clue best advice I can give you is order that fuel bowl delete kit like I installed on my truck Solved a lot of my small leaks and also there's so much more room to work on a truck now. I have a link up to the gentleman that sells them on eBay you might wanna check it out hes the cheapest around on that kit
I did notice huge huge difference NO the problem was my fuel bowl and I had injector problems. If you're having fuel pressure issues or power you need to do a fuel bowl delete and have your injectors rebuilt Then you will notice a huge Difference.
Crack one of the lines open while someone is cranking the engine and see if you have air in your system otherwise I would try the injector control module
Well on my 7.3 when that happens to me it's my Cam positioning sensor that goes out. It's a cheap fix but it takes forever to diagnose it if you do not Know what you're looking for.
About 10PSI remember this is a temporary fix I do not recommend doing this unless it's an emergency and you cannot get a new Spring or have your problem fixed.
PCM IDM ECU ICU MCU 5 Comps it was the first "Multiplexed with computers that all Communicate to give OBD2 Smog compliance thanks to the ultimate way to waste money and make sure everyone id doused in Gasoline unless you store that gas in a plastic container then it evaporates through it so you may not have any left CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCE BOARD? Seems kinda funny that name since they are a complete waste of air
I did this on my '95 with 280'000 and my #5 injector went out a week later. Don't know if the bb mod caused the injector problem but it cost me friggin' $700.
Well there's a lot of factors involved here 280000 with original Injectors? By doing this mod you don't blow one increasing the fuel pressure you would have blow more than 1 you have other issues going on with your truck. And whoever charged you $700 to replace one Reman injector took you for a nice ride because I can get a whole set of 8 rebuilt $600
"I don't have any electronics". That lets me know you don't know squat about this motor. It relies on electronics and without them it won't even start.
@@FLORIDALIFECLIPS I have no situation, just pointing out that you're very wrong about this motor's operation. You said "I don't have any electronics."
300,000 miles is not tired. I have seen many with 500k+ that are worked everyday.
I have 295,500 Miles, she's got blow by she's old and heavy but would not trade for any 2020.
I’m with you buddy

Curtisitruc1982 I did remove that months ago and did purchase a stiffer Spring..
Where can I find one?
Learning about mine, is a 02 and really enjoyed the truck
I have done this mod on 2002 7.3L, it works great becarefull and only use stainless steel bbs.
10-4 I done it because I was in a tight spot only used it for about a week or so then I had it fixed.
What size BB is it
Damn cuz...did you just kill someone....you're shaking bad enough to get the grease out of fried chicken

I love how your go too was to unload the parts cannon lol. Diagnosis... who does that just load up the cannon and fire away lol.
Funny guy😂 “i can fix it on the side of the road”
it's your in tank screen plugged up
lots of electronics on there haha
Will this mod help fix me not getting fuel in my bowl?
@4:02 (For others watching) If you have issue getting the piece out-lay a rag down and start/turn off the truck-the pressure will push it out
I have the same truck but it wouldn’t turn on it says it doesn’t have gas and it has full tank it started for a minute and it went of again I will really appreciate your help
Only way I could help is seeing the trunk
Okay I agree with electronics but Jesus the 7.3s have a lot of sensors for every damn thing on the truck
I must say, these trucks do have a ton of electronics and bullshit. they just haven't gone bad. wait til they do, like on my truck ;) it's a blast haha
Just get a laptop an osb2 cable and FORScan. Tells you exactly what’s wrong.. eliminated all my guessing on my obs 97 f250HD 7.3. Makes it talk to ya!!
Bro you got like 3 main electronic parts that fail. Cam sensor and icp. Once in a great while ipr. That’s it unless you fry your pcm
What was your old fuel pressure psi before doing this?
No it was a long time ago
Have a 97.7.3. Changed the mechanical pump (Carter) two years ago along with fuel bowl assembly, hoses etc.
Started leaking fuel in th o the Valley, what could be most probable cause?

check the fuel pump at the weep hole and also check your rubber lines that connect everything . Had the same issue
Clean strainer in fuel tanks.
will this work if you have a electric fuel pump i have a 7.3 obs
john lane Not a hundred percent sure but if you're still using your fuel regulator it should.
What was the problem getting low fuel pressure? I just replace my lift pump and still my truck won't start
A leak in the fuel bowl and my injectors were badd to a buzz test.
E FUEL is the way to go
Did you notice a difference after your fuel pressure went up, as far as idle and power?
I did notice huge huge difference NO the problem was my fuel bowl and I had injector problems.
If you're having fuel pressure issues or power you need to do a fuel bowl delete and have your injectors rebuilt Then you will notice a huge Difference.
Check this video out ruclips.net/video/tP2TBm9Ho4c/видео.html
I’ve changed the fuel regulator my cps my ipr my hpop my fuel lifting unit and stil no start do u think my idm is bad
Crack one of the lines open while someone is cranking the engine and see if you have air in your system otherwise I would try the injector control module
Unplug your ICP
Have 2006 6.0 powerstroke starts and run a min. then shuts off have replaced fuel pump
Well on my 7.3 when that happens to me it's my Cam positioning sensor that goes out.
It's a cheap fix but it takes forever to diagnose it if you do not Know what you're looking for.
That’s the problem 6.0.
FLORIDA LIFE CLIPS how does it take forever?? It throws a code when it’s bad and if your tachometer doesn’t move it’s a dead giveaway lol
Main problem it's a 6.0 sorry for you.
put magnet on the pinchers
How much higher did you feel pressure go up
About 10PSI remember this is a temporary fix I do not recommend doing this unless it's an emergency and you cannot get a new Spring or have your problem fixed.
If you want a real fix check out the video on my fuel bowl delete and mechanical pump set up with a regulator
STILL HAS A COMPUTER CALLED ECM.
yup my truck would turn off randomly and wouldnt run for shit. fried turkey ecm :/ got a used one for like 20$ and it fired up

How do you know you have low fuel pressure?
I previously done a fuel pressure test
Barrancas de la Tigra .
FLORIDA LIFE CLIPS did you make a video of the fuel pressure test?
It does have electronics😂 omg

Has anyone done 2 bb's
no but i was going to try it.
PS
Big Game Slayer .
Yes I did two pellets with great results.
I did notice that my fuel bowl lid flexes at idle after doing this.
