@@detroitdiesel7074 no different than a 7.3 is dead headed. Log is pressurized with oil, injectors “use” what’s called upon by FICM to push the fuel out of the injector with high pressure oil via the intensifier piston. Only flow issue would be when log is air filled after opening system and log is void of any oil. I seldom have to pull valve covers on a early 6.0 for HPO leaks and I attribute it to be a much less problem prone setup. The standpipe never fails, braided feed line never fails. It worked on the 7.3, dt466 and dt530 which are all proven work horses. Thanks for watching.

@@AutomedicGarage I think you missed the point, the newer rails basically get rid of pressure drop across the injectors, as well as have a higher capacity of oil

@@detroitdiesel7074 ok. Sure

@@alvinomartinez6549 I let it prime with the key same as when you change filters

@@johnwharton3038 it’s a cab and chassis truck. They often times had the 40 gallon aft tank or sometimes even dual tanks. In this particular situation it was a aftermarket tank installed by the wrecker bed manufacturer due to mounting constraints due to the shape and build of the wrecker bed.

@@thomashaase6197 that’s gauge is pretty cheesy is you ask me. I ended up hooking up my fuel pressure test gauge to the regulator to adjust the pressure

@@mck799 without a lift yes it would be however this truck has tool boxes and hundreds of pounds of tools in the bed so dripping the tank was easier

@@sMFq11 oil gauge is not always the best judge of LPO because after long cranking or batteries with not so great voltage the gauge cluster is one of the first things to get dropped so it may not read anything.

@@AutomedicGarage yeah I get that totally mine doesn’t pop up at all I got plenty of voltage cranks fast and even…. Fills the oil filter housing….. just not building enough high pressure… using a Matco to read data and it will only fire up if it gets a whiff of ethere

@@sMFq11 air test it. It will tell you where the problem is

@@Thunderbuns-il8ri Brian and his crew and his shop are amazing and some of the best people you can meet.

@@FoursquareT least we don’t have to raise our cabs just a fix a front cover leak because of Cummins not wanting to put a couple more bolts on the cover to keep the gasket from sucking in lol.

@@AutomedicGarage you don’t have to pull the cab off to fix that. But hey at least ford got smart to where you only have to raise the motor 5” now to fix a leaky oil pan

@@FoursquareT I don’t think your understanding what I’m talking about, your front cover has a gasket between it and the block, you have to pull the cam to remove that cover. On a 6.7 Cummins it’s 27 hrs in the book.

@@AutomedicGarage I’m just going to leave you with Cummins 3336 hp to a Powerstroke 1987hp. All around better motor.

@@FoursquareT I have no idea what you talking about with those hp numbers. To each there own. Powerstroke has a transmission that isn’t a slush box, a interior that doesn’t rattle and fall apart and a motor that makes enough power from the factory so you don’t have to feel like you can get out and run faster. Driven them all they each have their ups and downs. I like the Cummins, way better than a duramax, just never been pleased with anything thats wrapped around the Cummins motor.

@@DanMarcelino your fan should not always be engaged, it kills fuel mileage. The puking coolant will get worse at some point.

@@AutomedicGarage it's been 3 years of heavy use like this, and don't worry, I've got KDD aluminum heads coming with studs 👍🏼 but as for the fan, it's been such a better running truck with it on all the time. Way better temps, way better behaviour and I haven't noticed any decrease in mileage. I understand it's a parasitic load, but let me ask you.. do you use your A/C..? Same same. It's so minor, it's literally negligible. Like I said, I haven't noticed any loss in fuel economy. 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏼

@@DanMarcelino I do use my ac but the fan is not commanded on constantly with ac on. Best option is 7.3 fan clutch conversion. It’s a viscous clutch which seldom fails and if it does it fails ON not OFF.

@@AutomedicGarage I know that your fan isn't on all the time, I was using the parasitic load of the A/C compressor as an example I might go that route, but honestly I've seen nothing but benefits since I did this so I may dig my heels in a bit lol

@@DanMarcelino your truck, your motor, your heads. But ac load and fan clutch load are 2 drastically different loads on that engine. That’s why idle speed varies with ac clutch engagement but not with that fan clutch. The fan clutch has its own weight to help out with centrifugal force helping turn the fan while the ac clutch is a small round pump with no weight not to mention the cycles of on and off. If you like puking coolant that’s fine it’s your choice but it’s a symptom of a problem that will at some point get worse and despite claiming no lower fuel mileage it may not seem low because you’ve never seen the potential of not running the fan all the time.
