00' 7.3 still broken

[TexasR.N.]

Howdy all,
Got a phone call from this fellow named Jeremy, a buddy of his found my number off of a forum somewhere. Anyway, he's been to the dealership and after having the following stuff replaced the truck is still not running right:
From the dealership:
IPR, HPOP, Low pressure oil pump, High pressure injector pump, and a new oil reservoir.

The truck will start up but he will have to mash down to keep it running. Also oil reservoir doesn't stay full, it empties somehow. No oil in the coolant, the oil stays clean, truck leaks some oil, but does not have a huge oil leak. The dealership said something about possibly needing a new "front cover".
The dealership wants to charge him an additional 500.00 to do further diagnosing on it.

The truck has an Edge Evolution on it. I told Jeremy to check for codes that the truck might be throwing and get back to me and I will post them here. I also gave him this web address so he could post as well.

Jeremy is in Roanoke Tx if anyone is close by that might be willing to help. I have his number, and if it's ok with him, I'll PM it to someone who might be able to help him. I am willing to go over there and help out as well but for right now this sounds a bit above my head.
I know this fella would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Craig

Man Too bad I'm not a ford tech. I don't have a clue what could be wrong but i'm only a couple of miles from roanoke.

just a thought the hpop system has a check valve in it that has been known to go out and let the hpop res drain back. also the hpop gear drive can be difficult to get back in right. if the dealership techs are like the ones at our ford dealer, you may want to think about another machanic. just my .02 worth

Hey Mako, thanks for the input. I will pass along the info about the check valve, gears, and another mechanic.

Sounds to me like pretty typical injector o rings....is the truck fine once he finally does get it to warm up?? i doubt the check ball in the front cover is bad....that is so rare...
