Any properly sized Group 65 , 650 CCA, 810 CA set of batteries will start and run these trucks for 3-8 years. The ones from the Ford Dealer are high quality. If a properly sized set of tested charged batteries can't get the job done consider a full charging and starting systems test to find underlying problems. Something as simple as poor connection at battery posts or grounds can have a major impact on the truck. Many people comment on the "needless" steps and tests they see in videos such as these and there are a similar extensive set of tests that should be done when installing batteries. Good technicians do these test steps mentally without realizing it as they search for what they know can cause a problem and perform visual and physical checks. Every time people ask me to look at their car/ truck/ equipment I'm not only looking at the specific thing they ask me to check but I am also taking note on everything I see including those not related to the issue. When I'm done I have taken note on not only what I see as being wrong but also how the car has been taken care of in the past and to a degree have an opinion on the current driver as well.

@@btwbrand Wao,I am short of words,all that I can say with this detailed response of yours is that you are GOOD.I really appreciate the fact that you took time to carefully explain how these things work and importantly it serves as an eye opener for me.Thank you and I wish you the very best in life.

Your fuel pump is not working genius lmfao

Coolant can easily cool a charge of hot air as it is many times more dense and has high heat adsorbing capacity compared to the air it is cooling. Yes the EGR coolers fail on these trucks but they typically manage 100K miles or more with no problems in maintained vehicles. Many people question why Ford or International didn't change the style of cooler on the trucks and the simple answer is because it is an emissions component and a modified version has not been through the EPA testing for certification. Ford isn't Dumb, international isn't dumb. They both know what works and what could do a better job but mandates from the government have them locked into a design unless they want to pay for the changes. They both feel they have lost their shirts on these engines and want nothing more to do with them.

@@btwbrand Bullshit! The exhaust exiting the manifold sits at 1250 degrees under load. The best coolants break down at 250 degrees. This is why the gold comes out of suspension and coats the coolant system. The coolant exiting the intake manifold on a 6.0 has been measured at well over 300 degrees with a working EGR valve. Everyone knows the EPA mandates caused all these emission device problems, but even many Ford and International engineers will tell you that the EGR system on a 6.0 is poorly engineered. I have spoken with some of them.

You can reset the DPF and tell the computer you have installed a new one. However, this is not an issue that can be resolved with the Wi-Tech scan tool, this is a programming issue from the tune and needs to have the tune uninstalled and reinstalled to fix. Typical issue with the H&S Tuner, and you may need go back to the tuner to address this specific issue, as uninstalling and reinstalling the tune is most likely a temporary fix.

@@AlliantPowerMktg i already have returned the tune to stock and reflashed, didnt help. Thinking it may have been the mini max just being garbage and them not having firmware updates available anymore i got a new raceme ultra as i wanted a better tuner anyway and that didnt clear it out either. Its not an issue with the tuner its stored in the trucks system somewhere.

I think these engines and the trucks are great. Been through all the problems, nothing is a surprise now. If I could I would buy and repair and drive them all. They don't leak unless they are broke and the parts are easy to find. If you don't heavily modify them and take care when doing repairs they pull apart and go together with little fuss. Most of the problems are a combination of design, failure to maintain, and use/abuse. All of those reasons are correctable.

Yes I have a 6007.

I'm trying to figure out why my truck will not start back after it has been running for a while now

Sticking injectors can cause a dead miss or dark hazed smoke. Depends on if it is sticking open or closed. If you are seeing white smoke and it's fuel related ( exhaust smells like fuel ) then you likely have a cracked or melted injector tip, or low compression on a single cylinder due to mechanical damage.

@@btwbrand What about intermittent white smoke that smells like fuel? New injectors, new harness, new FICM. Sticky valve or lifter?

What was it?

$4000 USD ish

Yes, and I would suspect it is because this is just a daignostic and cause video, not a tutorial on doing the full job.

For a Cummins

You can invest in a small compressor and an impact wrench and air ratchet and pretty much not need a ton of strength. Cordless is really nice to but more expensive. Just remember to always hand start bolts and use the impact to remove mostly.
