Product Description
Shop with Blessed Performance for the Driven Diesel High Pressure Crossover Lines (HPX) for 1999 to 2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke diesel pickups. The Driven Diesel Stainless Steel High Pressure Crossover (HPX) line connects the driver side and passenger side High Pressure Oil Rails together. This results in a more balanced High Pressure Oil system with fewer pressure spikes. In most trucks, the elimination of ICP spikes and balancing of pressures in the High Pressure Oil Rails will smooth operation and may even quiet the engine somewhat.
The High Pressure Oil System operates from 500psi to over 3000psi. Components of this system must be designed to handle these pressures on a CONTINUOUS basis. In addition to pressure, the high temparatures of the engine oil and underhood environment, high pulsation rate of the high pressure oil system and the general expansion, contraction and vibration of a running Powerstroke make for a tough operating environment. The proper design of a High Pressure Crossover line is far more than just picking some hose with a high enough pressure rating and having some fittings crimped on or bending up a tube and attaching it to the engine! Make sure the HPX line you purchase is an ENGINEERED SOLUTION and not just a "slapped together" hose or tube!
The Driven Diesel S.S. HPX line IS an Engineered Solution, not just a hydraulic hose or randomly bent piece of tubing. The Driven Diesel HPX line is produced for them by KCM. Chris Kersey of KCM has a degree in Manufacturing Engineering with a minor in Metalurgy. He has extensive experience designing and manufacturing MISSION CRITICAL weapons components for the military, both of which were used when designing this HPX line...see below for details:
