    1973 Ford 4000 Oil Pump

    I just finished installing the replacement pump that Steiner sent me along with another new oil pan gasket. 7 new quarts of Rotella 15w40 and a new Motorcraft FL1A filter. 85 psi at start up…. Slowly building to 100psi within a minute or two and I shut it down. It did not blow the filter but...

    1973 Ford 4000 Oil Pump

    1973 Ford 4000 Oil Pump

    This is the original pump that was putting out low pressure. The bolt and washer appear to retain the cap that holds the pressure relief valve in the pump housing.

    You know, I never thought of oem... until this happened. I put aftermarket injection pump, injectors, water pump... never a problem. Thanks for the input Bumpsteer.

    1973 Ford 4000 Oil Pump

    From my manual it looks like the relief valve assembly is an integral part of the pump. I would say that qualifies as a defective pump...

    1973 Ford 4000 Oil Pump

    Hey yall, I’m looking for some opinions on this. I have a 1973 Ford 4000 SU farm tractor with the 172 ci, 3 cylinder diesel. Over the summer I noticed that the oil pressure gauge was showing a decrease in pressure. Unfortunatly I cannot remember for sure what the pressure was prior but I think...

    Thanks for the reply Delmer. So I believe the answer is "Yes, the neutral conductor in the 12/3 that comes from the panel should be connected to nothing, on either end, not connected to the neutral bus bar in the panel and not connected to anything at the pump control." "and the white wire...
