I had never worked on a diesel engine in my life. I. Came across a 2005 superduty lariat for $3 k from a friend who owns an auto body shop. It was a tota but he fixed it up body wise immaculate. It had a no start hot issue. I was able to do all the work myself by repeatedly watching Rons videos. Thanks Ron and family for all you have done for the world!!

Jeff here. Used Ron's material and FordTecMakaluco's as well to repair my 04 F350 6 liter. re-posting here what I just posted on Makaluco's channel in hopes it may help others. I can’t thank you enough for putting up this and other videos. Repair details on my truck are provided below in hope they may help others. I love doing projects but my day job (a lot of times it is 7 days a week) just doesn’t allow me the time to figure all these things out on my own. From a long-term Navy man, thanks for all you do. It truly means a lot to me. I wish you and your Family the best. Thanks again. Sincerely, Jeff 2004 F350 107k miles, original owner. Turbo replaced at 25k with reman. I pulled the turbo at 75k due to vanes being seized. Cleaned, put on anti-seize, seems to be fine. Starting at 90k, long term P0401, 0404, 1315. Cleaned EGR, resolved, but returned. Replaced EGR valve. Codes returned in a few months, cleaned, intermittent success. Truck ran fine, no smoke, plenty of power. Recently returning from a trip, vehicle began to run rough at idle, not horrible. White/gray smoke at idle. Under acceleration, heavy gray to black smoke. No new codes. Lacked some power. Have never had a coolant leak. EGR well looks good when I pull the EGR. Checked down pipe, ok. Used my XRay scan tool no new codes. Bought AutoEnginuity scanner with Ford enhanced package. Scan with this tool indicated that at some time in the past p0281 had been set, but was not active. Ran the Power Balance test, indicated number 7 was not contributing equally. Ran the injector buzz test. Sounded good to me. I had my wife listen to the video of the buzz test and uncoached, she indicated that #7 sounded different. Bought reman injector form Bullet Proof Diesel. Installed using your video. Completed this morning and after about 10 seconds of cranking it fired up and is running very smooth. Power balance test looks great. No new codes.

I've tried hotshot and rev-x I've had better luck with rev-x. They really help if its sticking from varnish not wear. If you lacked maintenance on your fuel filters and the pressure dropped then the fuel cavity is only partially full. That causes less resistance and the oil side will beat that plunger into the injector. Fuel pressure is critical. I've seen brand new injectors fail in 200 miles due to low pressure UNDER A LOAD NOT AT IDLE.

I used a 12mm head bolt nut and washer in between to tighten the fuel rail plug. I put a 12mm socket on the nut and ran it all the way down the bolt until it bottomed out and the bolt head tightened the plug. After the initial prime and start, the truck would crank for up to 15 seconds before starting after sitting for short periods of time. Apparently this is normal after pulling the high pressure oil rail. I merged the truck onto the highway at full throttle up to 110km/hr 5 times to clear the air from the oil rail. It fires up in under 2 seconds now.

I have a 2006 Ford F250, and I have a problem that I do not know what to do anymore. When it accelerated hard or is traveling for a while and brake, the engine starts to fail, like an injector. But then I move and it is removed and returns to normal. However, when I turn it on it works perfect. I hope you can help me or give me some idea of what it could be.

Mr. Ron, i just replaced all eight of my injectors, the HPOP with new IPR, and ICP. I also installed a regulated fuel return system. it took a few minutes of cranking to start, but she did start. but she runs rough and she has a bad lope. i let it run for about 30 min to let the system purge the air out, but it did not improve the idle, or how she ran. when i shut her down, it takes a minute of cranking for her to start. the oil must be leaking back into the pan because there is no oil pressure unless i crank for a while. any thoughts? is it possible its a bad HPOP? i am getting a P0272 code, but i cant imagine that is what is causing the long crank to start or the hard idle.?
