Life Expectancy of a Reman HPOP

I answered that above. You have an 03. The DieselSite pump or the CnCFab pump. If you don't care for that advice, then try your own and keep us updated once a year.

$676 is marginally over the cost of am OEM remanned pump. The minimal amount more would be eaten up quickly by a repeat job.


Personally, I have the money and wouldn't mind spending it on the DieselSite pump. I have kept up with a few users that installed it and they have a number of years under their belt with no issues. That said, the CNCFab pump is cheaper and also has a good reputation.

Several of the weak areas of an early 6.0L HPOP have been discussed a fair bit - going back to 2011. The only people acknowledging that changes need to be made in the original design are the two companies mentioned above. Their pumps have a great reputation with the forum people that have tried them.

If you don't buy into the hours and hours of following and researching the topic as a few of us have, then roll up your sleeves and start searching.

No problem. I have spent many hours on the topic and there are even a few good discussions going on right now that include a look at the internals of both the early and the late HPOPs. There have been a NUMBER threads on the early HPOP and whether or not an OEM remanned can be made to last or not. One shop owner on another forum has adamantly stated that he NEVER had one of his installed OEM HPOPs "come back". He attributes his success to proper priming of the HPO system before starting to crank. No doubt this is a VERY good idea, but there are design flaws with the OEM pump that I would want addressed. I also think that many of the failures could be connected to significantly over-heated oil, or debris-contaminated oil, or a lack of oil supply due to a tall aftermarket oil filter cap with a shorter OEM oil filter. So, all that makes it a hard topic to actually "nail down".

My view has always been that if I paid a shop quite a bit of money to install a part, and it failed just past the (say 2 year) warranty period ..................... then I would not be taking it back to that same shop! So unless the failure happened within the warranty period, a shop wouldn't probably see the true 2 yr + failure data. I expect a LOT more than 2 years out of an HPOP reliability!

As you are, I am very skeptical of the need for higher output from an HPOP.
