7.3 High Pressure Oil Lines (anyone replaced them?)

[gtbensley]

How the heck do you do this? Seems like the turbo and fuel bowl come out to do this? I have a couple of bigger trips planned this summer and would really like to have new lines in there so I am not worried about them blowing. Original as far as I can tell with 166K and its a 1995 so pretty old.

Any suggestions or do I have to rip into it that far?

Thanks

You will, yes.

You'll be taking many things out to have some access, a PIA job, but doable!

Fuel bowl and turbo come out? Maybe I just suck it up and redo all those while in there. Delete the ebpv while there, do new fuel lines and such......Worth doing or just run the old lines?

If you can afford to do more while in there, by all means.
Keep in mind the EBPV does help in cold climates.
I wish Ihad done the cross-over line, i hear there are mixed reviews but for the price, couldn't hurt.
Taking out the turbo is rather easy and worth the time to make room to work.

I only want to do it once! I actually already have the oil lines and cross over line. Was going to replace them when I did the injectors but ran out of time (shop at work and needed the van out for monday morning). I think I might even already have the fuel bowl O rings too.

The EBPV is probably not working, and I no longer drive in the winter with it so I think it might just go away, one less thing to worry about leaking or sticking.
