    Glow Plug Harness R&R

    Thats exactly what the new mechanic said after he broke the wire trying to pull it out. The boot did not come out so he decided to try with a screwdrive and a hammer on the end of it. Of couse the harness boot broke off flush with the block. He fished for a while and said he needed to go get...

    Well I ran into a few other problems ever so minor but here they are: The back bolt (vertical) one the turbo would not start threading. I have use a pointed probe and the hole is as perfectly lined up as I can possibly believe one could be lined up. The threads will not catch to start. I...

    Upgraded 6.0 EGR cooler

    Wow only 3 years 1 month and 28 days from your first post. I would say that it wasn't for the light mechanicing type person. I'm in the middle of 4 weeks of putting mine back together from new Sinister Cooler,, oil cooler, cleaned and anti-siezed the turbo, new glow plug wires and an good...

    Glow Plug Harness R&R

    That will not work either as the part you need to pull on is only about 1/4 inch tall at best. Notice the small grove where the Boot sticks out of the head. The tool is a small flat piece of metal that has a U-shaped und that slides onto the boot at the groove and then the tool bends 90...

    Glow Plug Harness R&R

    Does anyone know how to change the harness? I've read multiple ways and haven't been able to remove the existing harness as of yet. I'm working on the driver's side and have removed the wheelwell and tire for access. I understand there is a little $100 tool from ford or $30 from fleabay you can...

    Oil Leak Found. What is this?

    There are valve cover gaskets an upper and a lower one. The problem is the glow plug wiring harness. The electrical plugs that snap over the glow plug have an o-ring on the part that snaps down into the head. That is what seals the oil off. I just bought both sides. $57 per side. I will send...

    Oil Leak Found. What is this?

    I think I have found where my oil leak is coming from. On the bottom side of the valve cover on each side is what appears to be a wiring harness that goes into the engine or valve cover at each cylinder. I am assuming there is an oring or grommet for each point that it is inserted. What is this...

    Continued Pictures of EGR and Oil Cooler replacement Well last night and a little today I decided to do a little on the 6.0 L. Since I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach from where something or some idiot burned down my old high school last night I thought piddling around in the shop...

    Just read this below: What do you guys think? 2003-2004 Oil Leak from Head Gasket: Some engine may exhibit what appears to be an oil leak from the head gasket. Since there is no pressurised oil at the head gasket, a leak at this location is unlikely. Inspect the following area instead...

    I dont think I am going to do the head gaskets at this time. I may wish that I had but I cant see where they are needed on my truck. It would sure help with piece of mind to know that the heads were taken care of but I just cant see putting that much money into something that isnt broken. I have...

    That's exactly where it is shown on the drawing I just got today from dealer. It must be the valve cover gaskets then. I will look more Saturday when I get back home.

    I can't seem to locate the ICP. I thought it was on the back of the engine but according to Fomoco it is on the left valve cover in the front area of the engine. Does anyone know where it actually is suppose to be of a 11/03 born 2004 model? I also bought Shell Rotella ELC today to change out...

    I hope you can sto this guy

    Something has got to be done to stop this crap. When I retired in July, I got a new email address for the new firm I was going to work for. Within 2 hours of getting the new address, I got enough spam to last a lifetime. How do they get that info so quickly? Undoubtably they sit 24/7 at their...

    The more I hink about the oil leak, I believe the ICP sensor is going to be the problem as the oil has petty much leaked down both sides of the engine equally. That should be easier to fix rather than replacing valve cover gaskets????????

    On going in the Powerstroke Surgical Ward and So are the Days of Our Lives Welll tonight I decided I would try to determine if I needed to do head gaskets or if mine were OK. I believe that my head gaskets are ok. I've never ran a tuner, never even been a goose neck or 5er hitch mounted in the...

    The EGR Cooler is not a powdery soot but is a greasy feeling soot. The Water has been puking back out of the degas bottle. There is no water in the oil and no oil in the radiator. I was to the point that I was not putting coolant into the system for the last month and was only putting distilled...

    Thanks Dave. The clogged EGR valve would not have caused the coolant lose would it? Was the coolant lose responsible for the gooey oily soot coaking up the valve?

    EGR Valve Gummed up Well I did a little more cleaning of the parts tonight in order to prepare for the reinstallation of the the parts once the new stuff comes in. I pulled the EGR Valve tonight and lookey what I found. The gunk is kinda gooey greasy pastey. I assume that it can simply...
