Upgraded HPOP screen
Upgraded STC fitting
Upgraded FPR spring

And most important.....
An SCT with custom tunes!

does he have the STC fitting that goes bad he does have an 04 i guess depends on if its early build or late build. have the valve guides checked.

Have the heads decked and checked help to keep from ever having to tear it apart again

My truck is apart right now, what is this upgraded HPOP screen you speak of? and mine is a late 06, would it already have it?

[nylyon]

Probably referring to the screen which is under the oil cooler. My last oil cooler kit came with a new screen made out of stainless steel. Regardless of the screen currently in the truck, you should change it. If it wasn't included in the oil cooler kit, the part number is: 3C3Z-6C683-AB and it should be less than 10 bucks.

Oh that screen! haha the long oval looking one under the oil cooler? already got a new one, it was $13 or so. I did not take the HPOP off, thought it might be part of it or something.

His Truck doesn't have an STC fitting

what is the STC fitting and
what is the FPR spring and what do they do
Thank you

Your truck doesn't have it, but the STC fitting (snap to connect) is a weak point on the HPOP (high pressure oil pump).

The FPR (fuel pressure regulator) is an updated spring (longer/stronger than stock) which provides the proper fuel pressure.
