I'm in a bad spot with a truck I've only had for 2 years, 2005 f350 harley edition 6 blow, I love the truck, LOVE IT LOW MILES, minor rust..... anyway, I've paid to have it bullet proofed after the inevitable happened and ran good for last summer... this winter it would fire up cold but after everything was warmed up, it wouldn't start while hot.... I did ICP, EBP, AND just got IPR put in, still wouldn't start, 340 lbs of pressure at IPR. Went to check the IPR screen to make sure it was still good and the IPR SESNOR PART, UNSCREWED and left the tube and screen in the block..... IPR was straight from a dealer.. so with that I still have a pressure leak not letting the truck get to 500 lbs to fire up..... I paid 18 for the truck and prolly have about that

back into it just from all these "little issues". I want to keep the damn thing around but I'm inntoo deep now to give up... any help would go a long way, I am in Michigan looking for a diesel mechanic who gives an F! Thanks for anything :cautious:

This has happened to others, and it typically is a result of over-tightening the IPR. The o-ring does the sealing, so installation does not need ANY significant torque.

The way out in the other instances is to install the upper portion back onto the lower portion, w/ red locktite, and then screw it out as a single piece again. before doing this, please clean the threads on the bottom IPR piece with BrakeKleen so it adheres as it should.

EDIT - I just confirmed that the threads for the IPR are M22x1.5. You can get a nut of this size on Amazon for $8 or so.

That makes total sense, I wish I had the time to get the turbo out and do it myself like right now lol but I found the green o-ring was also loosely inside the part that came off? I had a mechanic (half diesel mechanic apparently) put it in and I found of bunch of **** loose so now I'm either gonna have to fork out 4k or sell the damn thing cuz i think My hpop is leaking. Thank you so much for the help!
