You could have found this issue with an oscilloscope. Scanner Danner has a book. He also has videos that follow along with the book on how to find issues like the crankshaft reluctor. Cam crank correlation. Once you have known good of that engine you can compare the timing. It would have shown that chip in the tone ring. Its so much more than that though.

Hey Anthony haven't heard from you in some days what's going on with that truck.

Hope you both are doing well and enjoying a few days off

Probably not enough to hit the ground?

I had worked on this early 03 truck a while ago that was studded years ago and had had (for various different jobs/reasons) the heads off (studs undone out in and retorqued) 4 or 5 times. when I finally got to it (other people/shops did all the previous work) my boss said he wanted to use new studs for piece of mind, But u saved the old ones and later called arp and got the specs and measured them all. They were all in spec with even less variation than those. Pretty neat to think about, especially since they aren’t even the CA625+ versions. Thanks for another great video, stay safe guys!

The idea I've been trying to think of for the past year. 😂. Awesome work.

I had those crap tires on my tacoma. Never again. Since then we pretty much run all Falken Wildpeaks

Hello, does anyone know if that filter fits a 2014 Ford fusion 1.5L engine?

18:40 is what I'm talking about. When they're singing their song brother. Excellent job finding out that darned HPOP leak there. Hooray time for a week long rest lol. You got run through the clothes wringer on this one for sure.

Oops 8:18....8:25....Those bolts are loose.....You can see a gap between the bolt flange and the fitting......

6.0’s and o-rings.😩🤯🤬😱😵‍💫 That was some very efficient step by step diagnosis and process of elimination to find WHICH o-ring. That is a sweet IPR valve compressed air rig you have. You have the right attitude and the patience of a saint to work on these trucks. Your video was only 23:51 including highway test driving but the amount of careful wrenching to eliminate the standpipe as the problem and get into the HPOP and then button her all back up was a lot of time.

I always blew the atr in the valve cover. Same shit different hole . I cant figure out why people keep messing with 6 liters

Hell yeah! Sounds great! I hope you and Julie will celebrate victory after all of this BS 👍 Congrats to you both for reaping the benefits of never giving up. It sucks along the way, but the destination is always awesome 💯

When you’re not the 6.0 god

Holy crap man. More bad luck I slipped one on the rear pulling my camper a few weeks ago. It wasn't pretty.

Keep trying

You got this ! Last hurdle

That truck is cursed!!!

Your perseverance is inspiring.

Ron will be happy too Awsome build A @ J

Just as I sent the woohoo u said u slipped a belt

Woo hoo , yeah buddy

Lord thank you Jesus. I was stressing lol.

It’s time to write this truck off lol. But replacing a tone ring and not the whole crank is a big ford 6.0 conspiracy theory. If you have to come through tenneseee I’ve got a 6.0 mystery hpo situation. Runs. Just long crank and needs a cooler. Been wanting you do fix it for 3 years. It runs drives starts but for the life of me can’t find the leak short of replacing everything and rebuilding at that point

At some point you got to call it quits hate to say it

Bro I seriously want to cry for you. This is so the life of a mechanic. Remember when we talked about not doing everything over again because the chances of everything going back together with no new problems is so high. Well I’m grateful that you’re showing everyone what we go through so maybe they might be a little more patient and understanding when we are struggling. You are top 10 talented in the powerstroke world, your commitment to excellence is like no one else and is so respected and commendable. You sir will go down as one of the greats. .

Nice to see.

Way to go man, been watching you for a long time. The patience, professionalism and integrity you have shown is 2nd to none. Not to mention that trucks sound is phenomenal!

What a bleepin' roller coaster ride, spun belt to boot, give it back before something else gives out, just kidding Ron, lol. Put some tires on it and drive it back. Kudos to you both. Nothing you did caused the signal malfunction. Are you going to follow through confronting the machine shop error? One would think the shop knew about the scrubbed tooth and would have brought it to your attention after balancing. You know your 6.0 Diag skills (and wrenching) are invaluable to the 6.0 community. Don't let this ordeal get the best of you guys. All issues were dealt with and are behind you and Ron has a NEW truck. Thanks for sharing your skills and wisdom.

I thought cold side CAC pipes were a no-no. Did those get updated by Ford?

Soooo glad it was just an oring! That truck needs an exorcism to get rid of the bad luck!

Awesome 🎉

You deserve a lot of beer after this! Happy to see nothing catastrophic.

A dammed o ring .........😂

This is all valuable content. I doubt you take anything for granted during reassemble but you can add a few more items to scrutinize, keep it up!

It's that the inside lip cools off faster than the metal farther away

At least the owner didn't pick it up and you had to make a trip to get it again.

The roller coaster ride of emotions. I totally get it. One time I was in the trenches with mine due to a defective oil pump. Nothing like doing a job twice while chasing down every other possible problem. I was so fed up. Finally I prayed about it and went back to work. Air tested and figured it out pretty quickly. Then got a replacement pump at no charge.

I watch alot of 6.0 content on KZbin and yalls is the best by far please keep it up!!

Always enjoy watching.

O my! This scares me to death thinking what all can really go wrong on these trucks if your having this much trouble.

Just wait,,, seriously!!! Just wait !!!

It sounded so good Anthony. Hoping it's something minor, get some rest, I'm sure you will find the issue ,don't let this take the wind out of your sails bud

You will get it! The best part of being in the trenches is knowing you will get out! As usual for those that do not do this for a living, your videos cannot capture the shear amount of time tied up in this and that is one of the biggest feelings of loss. I mostly work on equipment now, but there was a bobcat a few years ago that almost got burnt to the ground while trying to figure out the leaks in the hydraulic system...it would never end. I finally got it and it is digging dirt again leaving me alone. Ron's truck will soon enough being doing Ron stuff again too leaving you and Juile alone ✊️💯✊️

You do amazing work !keep it up man. Fingers are crossed!!!!

Sounds to me like the all pump might not be pumping right. Very disturbing to see you have this type of problem.After all the good work you have done.

I feel so bad for you and Julie. I have been following you for some time and check every day to see how things are going. It was good to see Ron's truck going. Like you said you will find out what it is, that I am sure of. It will be good to see that truck back on the road for good. I am very blessed to be able to watch from the cheep seats and learn how you accomplish what you do. Thanks for sharing your story here, the good the bad and the eventual over coming success.

I got the "aries" pressure bleeder adapter kit from amazon. I think whole setup was uner 300 bucks. I had a ford fusion come in with rusted brake line. I flare and union it. It was left front. I coul dnever get brake pressure on LF or RR. I put a master cylinder on it and no brakes on RF and LR. I was like WTF. So I ended up buying the "pressure bleeder adapter kit and bled brakes and they all worked. Those spaghetti mess of lines are hard to bleed. I replace master cylinders and do not bench bleed them in any way. Just bolt em up and then crack bleeders at calipers and 1 man flush in 15 miniutes.

Ugh I've had days like this too. Time to do an air test.

Hallelujah! Sweet sounding truck with lots of power. Is the hardest part of being a 6.0 mechanic the waiting for the high oil pressure to build post overhaul? Cranking, cranking, cranking.😩 27:58 SHOCKER!…….. “Maybe we’re being punished…” You are definitely being tested psychologically, never mind mechanically. Is the 6.0 like a thoroughbred horse, incredible high performance but with crazy fragility? It goes from Triple Crown Winner to glue factory candidate in the blink of an eye.
