    Perplexed with my 6.0

    As a follow-up and closure... after a very long time of trying different fixes; I decided it was too costly to cut my losses and sell and purchase a new rig - so we did a complete top end rebuild. Meaning, new heads (o-ringed), MAHL gaskets, ARP head Studs, FoMoCo rebuild fuel injectors, new...

    6.0 upgrades

    Sorry for the delay, as a wildland firefighter, I get pulled away on assignments. And I appreciate your input. Here is what I know/learned from the above questions. Edge really wouldn't work with me on my old system but in my research, so I purchased a new Edge CTS3 and plan to install it...

    6.0 upgrades

    My 03 ride now has 96,000 miles and giving me some issues and curious what you think? Think my Edge Juice Attitude is about done for - sometimes it works and sometimes the screen doesn't light up and it shuts off and reboots and while the engine stops for a few seconds, then back to normal. I...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    I realized I made a costly mistake and hoping for better results on this round but won't be surprised if I am back at them next spring.

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    As a follow up - I replaced all 8 of fuel injectors (3rd set) at 93k miles. Being the previous ones from Diesel Care and Performance were under warranty, worked something out with them and received replacements (again from them). They kept saying I installed them incorrectly but I was...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    Thanks for the emphasis, point taken and received. I totally forgot about the filter lines and what may have caused them. Also, tank issues are not common in this area but I will get into the fuel tank in the near future. I realize the HPOP is probably the next major issue to happen and was...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    An update. Checked the fuel pressure today and all appears to be fine. This rig has the blue spring upgrade and it held a solid 65 PSI regardless if idling or climbing a hill. Is this normal PSI with that spring? It was about 70 degrees and I really stretched its legs/lungs and it began...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    Thanks for the education. The deep scan scheduled for June 12 but should know more about the fuel pressure and maybe the fuel tank contents this weekend. I plan to also change the oil and see what that does. I really appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with me.

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    Have another idea to ask you about... After talking to another 'industrial' mechanic, we are wondering if Rotella T6 5-40 weight is too thin for the original 2003 HPOP? The engine ran fine all winter but these issues showed up when the weather and engine have warmed up? I am waiting for a...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    I did mix some viscosities up on last oil change but both were T6 synthetic. It was all they had when I needed to change oil at both stores. This time, I have 14 quarts of T6, 5-40w on the shelf. Have a new upper fuel filter cap coming with a tapped port to fit into a pressure gauge and was...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    As an update, replaced the inner rail fuel pump with a new fuel filter and the rig ran great, for 2 days. It is back to running rough, not responding to foot throttle increases, running high EGT, dies at an idle, and only has a power-train code of 1000. All the critical elements I am...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    Guess I stumped you with this one or no-one is willing to participate? This is what I am think may be happening and a tentative plan... In another tread, the fuel pump was the culprit for something similar and I believe I will purchase a replacement. My FICM volts usually stay near 48 and I...

    Perplexed with my 6.0

    Last fall I replaced all injectors and glow plugs with some from Diesel Care and Performance (DCP) out of Tennessee. I have about 5k miles since and now experiencing some issues. My configuration is May of 2003 born date, have 90k on engine, manual transmission, EGR delete, 4 inch exhaust, and...

    2007 f350 6.0 no start

    Hi DD - curious where you are with this issue? After changing my injectors, I couldn't get mine started. Ended up opening up the upper fuel filter cap and discovered the 'bowl' was partially full with bubbles. Cycled the key a few times with the filter cap off and eventually it filled up...

    2004 f350 6.0

    Hi Michael- Can you provide some more details about your rig? Curious about miles, modifications, and what have you tried... With these fords, swapping injectors is probably not worth the work unless it is a replacement. Think checking the harness is a great place to start, with at little...

    2003 Glow Plug Harness Trials

    Hope to close this thread with this post. After I dove under the hood, confirmed zero connectivity from 3 glow plugs and determined the wire harness was in tack and passing current just fine to all 8. Pulled all the glow plugs and replaced them with new Ford units and new wiring harnesses...

    2003 Glow Plug Harness Trials

    I don't remember the codes when I cleared them as it has been sitting for a couple of weeks. On the resistance, I will have to figure out how to check that when I get it apart. What 'numbers' should each glow plug have and the wires? Thanks

    2003 Glow Plug Harness Trials

    Hi Gang, I just replaced my injectors and glow plugs on gen 1 6 liter in September and it was running and starting great. Now it will not start and I discovered there wasn't continuity to glow plugs 1, 5, & 7. When I re-installed the glow plug harness in Sept, I squirted di-electric grease...

    Upgraded 6.0 EGR cooler

    Got the EGR block kit installed. The process isn't for the light mechanic types, sure learned a lot and could do it again but be ready for 2 days of work. I left the original EGR valve in the manifold and it has run fine for 4 years. The exhaust system was a bigger upgrade as temps never get...

    Upgraded 6.0 EGR cooler

    So how does one remove the PCM function? I have blocked off the cooler and left the EGR valve in place. What do you recommend?

    Help Needed Exhaust / Turbo Leak?

    Exhaust Leak Found I discovered the exhaust leak - it was on the drivers side expansion 'joint' on the y-pipe. The woven stainless steel mesh was hiding a 1 inch burned out strip on a rib of the accordion expansion section. The replacement y pipe was about $240 and NOT easy to get from...

    Upgraded 6.0 EGR cooler

    Cheap EGR delete kit The kit contains genuine Ford gaskets and other parts except for the freeze plug and block off plate. As to a manufacture number or something similar, I believe it is one individual's knowledge of what it takes to block off the EGR. If you want to know specifics, please...

    Upgraded 6.0 EGR cooler

    I just purchased the $100 kit off eBay. The instructions are flakey and it did not have everything like some of the other offerings (loctite and misc gaskets). Will try installing it on Sunday, Sept 6 - stay tuned. This kit blocks off the exhaust with a press in type of plug and the EGR stays...
