7.3 Powerstroke High Pressure Oil Pump
DieselSite’s new, high-volume low-pressure oil pump (LPOP) for ’94½ to ’03 7.3L Power Strokes was designed to meet the demands of larger high-pressure oil pumps. The new pump is said to increase flow and pressure, reduce cavitation, and each set of gears is custom cut, ground, and polished as a set (which ensures a perfect mating surface). Units come with a new front cover with dual-lip Viton seals, and a new pump-cover-to-front-engine-cover gasket. Testing conducted by Power Hungry Performance is said to have shown a minimum 10-psi oil pressure increase across the board (idle, cruising, and free revving).

Ultimate Tranny Pan
After extensive research and development, Goerend Transmission has released its Dodge transmission pan. The CNC-machined, cast- aluminum units feature a sloped floor (resulting in 100 percent drainage), a magnetic drain plug (with copper O-ring for a leak-proof seal), and a tapped port for a temperature sender. Each pan holds 2½ more quarts of ATF than stock (which Goerend claims to have tested to be the best amount), and a billet-aluminum lowering block mounts the filter in the optimum position. Its transmission pan retails for $250. Not as vital as say the abovementioned High Pressure Oil Pump, but a great part regardless.
