@@InTheShop Wassup, I have a 2005 Ford F-350, I have updated my dummy plugs, stand pipes and also the fitting on my HPOP. I've also had orings replaced on my nipple cup seals and sometimes (not every time) when I go somewhere and I shut the truck off and when I try to start the truck it just spins over but doesn't start. I think the problem that's causing this issue is leaking from the nipple cup seals, also I'm aware of nipple cup seals still leaking after replacing the orings. What do you think the issue could be?

[@InTheShop]

Maurice, have you tried doing the air test? Sometimes you have to pull the valve covers and just listen very closely.

Thanks a lot man. I just replaced my head gaskets and studded the truck, replaced the stand pipes but I still have a leak. I'll be air testing the truck tomorrow and hopefully can diagnose it and get it back on the road. I really enjoy how you do your videos. A good mix of information, showing how its done, and what problems to look out for.

[@adamjosey317]

Great video! I had oil rail on and off 6 times and was suspecting oil leak at top injector oring so i put a dummy plug in place of stand pipe to isolate that bank. It worked like a charm no need to energize ipr

[@InTheShop]

Also a great trick if you want to narrow it down to one bank! Thank you for watching!

[@powerws]

Nathan, Good stuff! I purchased a 2004 Ford F350 Lariat from a man dying of cancer. He bought this lariat 350 6.0 new, and it sat for 14 years, knowing he was dying. I just bought it with 21,500 original miles. It's perfect. I changed the air filter; it was perfect, I changed the transmission fluid and filter, which Ended up being perfect; I changed the fuel filters, which were a little dirty, changed the oil, which was a little dirty, replaced all with OEM parts. Did install two new 1000 cranking amp interstate batteries. He changed the tires to new Michelin LTX E-rated tires too. It is so smooth; however, sometimes I've noticed that when I'm driving at a low speed, it will sound like a normal diesel, then flutter between the normal diesel sound, then get muffled/real quiet. It happened today and when It got quiet, I hit the gas and it didn't do anything.(no response/ bog/ like no detonation) I let off the gas and it puffed out some smoke as it went back to the diesel sound. I was thinking it was the vanes in the turbo, but it runs too smooth other times. I did replace the EGR valve and it was really dirty, didn't make a difference though as it got quiet again. Have you experienced this? The engine sounding like a normal diesel, then getting real quiet? It will flutter between these two sounds. When it gets quiet, it has no power. I'm wondering if it's not getting fuel to the injectors, or maybe a high-pressure oil switch. Thanks for any help. I was going to open up the turbo to make sure the vanes and unison ring weren't sticking, but I just think that's it. I will be bulletproofing this motor and didn't want to tear into the engine until I bulletproof it and do it all at once. I will be doing the blue spring upgrade next. Last question, Bulletproofing, I looked at bulletproofdiesels air to oil cooler and then I watched the video you did with the IPR bulletproof, which system do you like better? I kind of like the coolant to oil System better. Thanks again, keep up the great work.

[@garyfarrow3101]

Did you figure this out

[@powerws]

@@garyfarrow3101 No, I thought it it was the EGR, but a friend of mine said that he thinks it is the variable ring in the turbo sticking. When the motor is hot, it never happens. Only when it is colder. It's almost like it sounds like a normal diesel, but then it get real quiet. when its cooler, it sometimes is non responsive when you press the gas. Im going to take out the turbo and make sure the unison ring isnt sticking. The truck sat for a very long time. Thanks for the reply, any thoughts?

[@hanskempf8]

Nathan, Much appreciation for your expertise and effort going into all your vids. It's refreshing to see someone that takes pride in your work ( on and off screen). Like most, I have a problem I'd like you to comment on. Mine is very specific and probably at the root of what plagues many 6.0 owners with long crank hot/cold situations. I am struggling with oil drainback from the filter housing. This is being caused by the anti-drainback valve, nothing else. I've changed the drainback valve, passed an air leak test with energized IPR, OE filter/cap etc. As you know, this valve operates on gravity alone to seal, but as many owners experience, I loss all oil in the filter housing after 16-24 hours. I've only seen a suggested remedy of replacing the oil filter adapter 3C3Z 6881CA. Inspecting the rubber washers on both the drainback and bypass valves shows little if any wear. There are no gouges in the sealing lips on the housing itself. My question is this, do you see any issues with adding an extremely light spring around the valve barrel and the valve housing to get better sealing pressure. Another option might be to lightly lap the lip surfaces for a better seal. Or has anyone came up with a better means to solve this? I see so many posts on this root cause (where ppl think it's just the non-OE cap/filter) but never are they fully explaining a solution. Would be great to hear your input. Thanks so much!

[@InTheShop]

What year is the truck?

[@hanskempf8]

Thanks for getting back on this. It's an 05. Since my previous note, I have polished the anti-drain back port on the filter housing with a fine scotchbrite buff on a dremel tool. I also just got a new OEM adapter plate and both for the cast ports have a rougher finish than what I have in the vehicle. So, I've installed the new bypass valve/ anti drain back valve in the truck. I have also plugged the drain back valve port with a silicone plug, so this cannot leak. It is much improved, but it's still leaking down. I can't imagine it's the bypass valve with all that spring pressure. Looking for any ideas here. Thanks Nathan

thanks to in the shop, he nailed my issue over a month ago, and i tore into the engine anyhow cause ut has 200k miles and needed lots of maintenance to make it last another 200k, but he said, sounds like the hpop lost the little ball (oil pressure on dash goes to 0 after 10 minute warm up, truck gets harder and harder to start).

Great video! My excursion shut down one day, got down to the fitting on the HPOP and found a torn oring on the fitting. Put it back together with a new fitting and oring and still no start.

Great video, thanks for the detailed info. My '05 6.0 was running great on a recent trip pulling my camper then I stopped for fuel in Tennessee and it wouldn't start. Scan tool showed only 167lbs of hp. Only had a few tools with me so hooked up with a local shop that immediately replaced the hpop. :( The truck starts now when cold but not when warm. The shop claims the new hpop finished the job of blowing standpipe seals. I had to get home so I just went with this info and made it back to CO. $3000 later and I still have to work on my own truck! Thanks for giving me enough info to get moving on this project!

[@tracnunya7165]

I liked your video so much that out of all the people posting 6.0 oln youtube, i chose you to ask my question, lucky you :) 2004 f350 suddenly developed a problem after a 400 mile trip delivering a load of hay. check gauges light is on at idle and oil pressure shows no oil pressure, increase throttle to 800-900 rpm and light goes out and oil pressure returns. truck drives fine, here is more detail on what i have observed. cold start in the morning and there is no low oil problem, until engine runs 10 minutes, then the pressure gauge drops and check gauge lite comes on, engine idles at 650 at this point, and increasing rpm to 750 makes lite go out and pressure come up, after you drive a little and it gets hotter, you have to increase rpm a little higher to make lite go out, about 850 rpm. i also noticed that when warmed up, if you turn the truck off, if you try to restart with no pressure on the accelerator, you have to do it within 4 minutes, or else you have to goose the throttle. in the morning starting out cold, you have to goose the throttle to get it started up. if you wait longer than 4 minutes to restart when hot, then it will fire up with no pressure on accelerator then cut right off again, the next restart attempt requires you to use the throttle. so i am assuming it has a small oil leak in the high pressure system, but only when the oil is hot, which means any testing i try to do will have to be with a hot engine ? since its a 2004 that is stock, its my moms truck, is there anywhere specific i should start looking that may be 2004 specific ? based on my observations that is only leaks when warmed up, runs fine, will restart at idle for up to 4 minutes after shutdown when warm ? or could it be possibly anywhere everywhere and a full diagnostic attack is needed ? THANKS

[@InTheShop]

The 2004 high pressure oil pumps were very common to have a small steal ball bearing fall out of them that was pressed into place to block off a manufacturing passageway. The way you are describing your problem that seems like it may be what you have going on.

Send me an email at [e-mail] and I can send you a picture of what I mean.

[@tracnunya7165]

@@InTheShop thank you so much for your reply, The trucks in the shop now and i dont feel good about it, they are going for the oil sensor if that tells you why i am concerned. i only just now saw your reply, about 4 hours after i rewatched one of your videos and picked up on the ball bearing. here is my question, this is a 2004 1/2 truck made in mar 2004, would this truck still have had that ball bearing ? If it would not have had that ball, the pump was replaced a few years ago, could they have taken an early 2004 pump and put it in my late 2004 and then this caused the problem, or will a early 2004 2003 pump not fit in a late 2004 Are there other failures that can cause the low/no oil pressure at idle after warmup and hard starting, like an ipr that is stuck open ? monday morning i am going to tell them to open the valley and look at the pump, to see if it is the early pump or if it has the snap in place connector. THANKS

[@InTheShop]

trac nunya they should be able to tell if it’s the old style pump or new style pump without taking anything apart. The old style pump has a completely cast iron cover and the pump is completely covered. The new style pump has an aluminum cover and part of the pump protrudes out of the center of the cover.

But most aggrevating this 6.0 (Which has been Bullitproofed about 37K miles ago), still gets me in a no start situation at least 5-6 times per week.

Nice video. FYI - The late 04's did not have the failure prone STC fitting that is corrected w/ the one-piece fitting w/ jam nut. That was in the 05's and up.

[@InTheShop]

Thanks Mark! As far as the pump goes the new style was used in 2004 after a certain production date. 2003-early2004 had the round aluminum pump with the cast iron cover. Late build 2004 mostly came with the cast iron pump with the aluminum cover and had the STC

[@markc906]

You are right, International did change the HPOP to the cast iron one in late 04. It had higher capacity due to the wavy oil rail "upgrade", but the STC wasn't introduced at that time. It came w/ the 05. It makes 04 a mix of configurations. Anyway, not meaning to argue, just to share what comes directly from International.

[@InTheShop]

I didn’t take it as arguing at all. I know a lot but I also still always have a lot to learn and talking with other knowledgeable people is the best way to expand that knowledge. The 2004 is a giant mixed bag of afterthoughts and last minute changes. In my opinion the worst year.

I have an 05 6.0 and this past weekend, after driving my truck on the highway for about an hour, I stopped at a rest stop and turned the truck off. When I got ready to leave the truck would crank and crank but not start. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and it fired right up. I thought it might be the ficm, but what are the chances it could be this issue you just fixed? Thanks for any help. BTW, great great video. Very informative Doug

[@InTheShop]

Definitely sounds like a high pressure oil system leak.

[@s20dbond]

@@InTheShop should I follow the diagnostic procedure you laid out or just go into the valve cover and replace those tube o_rings?

[@InTheShop]

It’s always a good idea to test it first so you don’t have to go in multiple times

Thanks man simple and gets right into it

[@ronmccann9114]

Is there a diagnostic method to suspect the stc over the dummy plugs? Patreon worthy content, will start looking at your other work.

[@InTheShop]

Hey Ron, Usually you will hear the air coming from the back of the engine instead of under the valve cover area. If you do its time to pull the pump cover and inspect. Once the pump cover is off you can reinstall the IPR and retest the system. I started setting up my Patreon but never pursued it. Maybe now I will. Thank you!

[@cardoc5528]

Grate video. Am working in a 05 f-250 with a really long crank to start . Pressure tested the system at the ipr and found a injector leaking at the top o ring replaced it and retested again now it holds 120 psi for a good hour or so but still cranks for about twenty seconds before it builds icp pressure.Hpop? Ipr cleaned and reseal and dummy plugs and stands pipes replaced. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

[@InTheShop]

Car Doc have you put any miles on it since the repair? It can take a few hard runs to get the air pockets out of the high pressure oil rails. I usually like to do a highway run with a couple hard accelerations.

[@cardoc5528]

Hey thanks for the quick response. No I haven’t put any miles in it . I pulled the hpop cover off just to inspect the STC fitting in install the update it one . At this point am just debating in installing a new pump or not . I would hate to put it back together just to find out i have a weak pump i know it’s not really common in 05 and newer but can be still possible since I can find any leaks?

[@guillerminarodriguez111]

Make sure You have the write oil filter ,otherwise the check valve Will bleed the oil back to oil pan and causing a long start because it has to reefill the oil filter reservor. I know it happend to me.

[@leeizaak3167]

Great video!I replaced the pump on my 04 6.0 and still leaking,and I also have a injector leaking fuel in oil what do you think my next move should be?new icp and ipr,I'm ordering updated plugs and stand pipes

[@InTheShop]

I would start by replacing the injector that’s leaking fuel into the oil. You can pinpoint which one it is by putting a bottle of “engine oil dye” in the fuel filter housing. With the valve covers off cycle the key and watch for traces of the dye around the bases of the injectors. You will also need a UV light to really see the dye. Oil Dye: amzn.to/2Ue0syO UV light: amzn.to/2Wl7gIc

[@TheVenom8343]

Hey man, great video!! I'm helping my buddy fix his 2006 6.0 and we did the shop air test and found leaks on both sides. It has the updated stand pipes and dummy plugs, we replaced all 8 of the oil rail cup o-rings, and all 8 injector o-rings (the ones that the nipple cups slide into). My question is, do these engines take oil/pressure to seal everything back up? Because we still have air leaking from under the oil rails but there's nothing else to replace that I know of. Thanks in advance my friend!!

[@TheVenom8343]

I subscribed as well. Now I'm going to binge watch all your videos!!

[@InTheShop]

Thank you! They don’t seal when dry. Put some oil in the rail through the ICP port and the plug where the ICP would be on the other rail and check again. If they are completely dry they can leak.

[@TheVenom8343]

@@InTheShop Well, we put it back together yesterday and it fired up and ran great. It even started back up after we warmed it up. So I guess it does take a little oil to seal those up. Thanks for the reply my friend! I've owned an 04 since 2010 and I've never had a High Pressure Oil Leak believe it or not. I've put one HPOP on it but that's it.

[@ChronCrew]

To clarify, if you do not energize the ipr while pressure testing, it would make it sound as if the high pressure system has a leak?

[@InTheShop]

ChronCrew correct

[@andreolson5982]

Excellent explanation man thanks to you

[@InTheShop]

Thank you!

[@williamskelton6751]

I prefer to remove the IPR and install the test fixture, remove oil fill plug and disconn C/C breather. Inject test air and monitor which side has the vapors/sound emitting.

[@williamskelton6751]

Plastic washer better known as a "backup ring", often used with o-rings at higher pressures.

[@InTheShop]

That’s a great way to test. I prefer to do it through the ICP sensor port because it also tests the function of the IPR simultaneously. Either way will get you where you need to be. Thank you for the comment!

[@ianbrown9451]

Brother mines doing exactly what you said it will stall when warm then when it cools it will fire lose power and stall again… do you think I should just replace the whole hpop?

[@ParkerMotorWorks]

Hey I've got a 6.0 in that driver said motor just shut off while he was going down the road. I found that the oil filter cap backed off and my rights are the motor shut down when he lost base pressure. Now it won't start back up again. Ipr at 85 when cranking, icp has 0.18 key on and 0.3v cranking, icp reads 70 psi at best. His truck also takes over 30 seconds of straight cranking to build base pressure. Where would you go from here?

[@waynebarnes4756]

I was wondering if you knew anything about the stand pipe on the passenger side, is there a check valve in it,and whats it there for,,, iknow the oil comes up through it,does the check valve stop it from draining back into the oil pan,

[@InTheShop]

There is a checkvalve. The valve keeps oil in the rails so you dont get extended cranks.

[@johnrukkila2446]

What’s up brother, I bought a 2003 old government f350 6.0 The oil pressure gauge drops and the check gauge light comes on while idling. It had 130k miles. You Mentioned a little ball that falls out of the pump? Could it be the oil pressure sensor? It runs and starts great. I haven’t checked the pressure- it is my first rodeo! I need some direction. If I drive it like this can it damage the motor? Thanks

[@johnrukkila2446]

Help!!!!

[@InTheShop]

Hey John, the oil pressure sensors are also common and an easy/cheap thing to change to verify. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ball fell out of your pump though. You won’t cause any damage by driving it but if the ball fell out it is possible that it leaves you stranded. I would put a sensor in it and recheck. If it still happens pull the pump.

[@johnrukkila2446]

Thanks for responding. You’re not going to believe it but I changed all of the aftermarket filters to Motor craft and it fixed the problem!!! It still has the egr cooler- if I leave it in how can I keep the system clean?

[@TXRenegade]

Great video. I’m having some frustration here, I had a crank no start, did the air test and hear a leak at the injectors. Replaced nipple seals and o rings on injectors. Still hearing a slight leak. Can the spool valves go bad to where I need to replace injectors to fix this issue?

[@InTheShop]

They can go bad for sure. Also if the system is completely empty of oil some air will escape. Add a bit of oil to the rails and retest first

[@TXRenegade]

@@InTheShop there’s still oil in it. Took 15 minutes to hear it escape. I took the rail and injectors off. Now I’m isolating the leak to the injectors. How would I 100% know it’s coming from injector spool valves ??? I’m stuck on this

[@danaschoen432]

looking at you putting air to the oil rail makes me wonder could one precharge the oil rail after some sort of service involving the emptying of that rail?

[@InTheShop]

You absolutely can. Some people do. It certainly reduces the amount of cranking time before the rails are full of oil.

So I have an 07, f350 123,000 miles. I had a reputable diesel mechanic check mine for a high pressure oil leak, after it sat, most of the time overnight or an extended period of time I would have a long crank before it would start, around 5 to 6 seconds, I do have a monitor so I can see the pressure eventually building to 500. He did find one dummy plug with a pinched o ring fixed that, the standpipes were updated ones, but after a couple weeks of checkn recheckn he could not find a leak anywhere that would be causing this issue, so I’m stumped as to what to look at next, any ideas?

[@Dieseldad6.7]

[@jesustrevino7610]

Good morning, I like your videos. I have a question. If you can answer it. I would really appreciate it. I have a 6.0 engine. I do the pressure test and air comes out of the injector where the nipple enters. That's why when it heats up the engine and I want to turn it on, it no longer turns on.

[@InTheShop]

Correct. It sounds like you have a bad o-ring at the top of the injector.

[@michaelfiesler246]

When doing the hpop system air test, if all is working properly, should you hear absolutely no air leaks and the test gauge hold steady without any pressure loss? Thank You

[@InTheShop]

Correct you should hear little to no air leaking.

[@michaelfiesler246]

@@InTheShop Thank You for the response. I have replaced just about everything under the valve covers and down the center of the intake. Hoping it is just that some debris got in the IPR Valve causing it not to fully seat.

[@joshgrubb3828]

Hey great video and I appreciate the information. With my high pressure oil leak I feel like I’m chasing my tail. It has new dummy plugs in both sides and standpipe upgrades. The only thing I have left is the injector seals. I’m doing that this weekend and I’m praying it fixes it. Will this cause a no start hot?? That is my issue and I’m not sure if this would be the fix. If the nipple feels tight can it still be the injector oring seal that is making the leak without the nipple oring being bad?

[@InTheShop]

Have you tried the air test to narrow it down?

[@joshgrubb3828]

In The Shop no I haven’t. I don’t have the fitting to do it or the ipr pigtail to energize it

In The Shop I’m actually unsure how I can energize the ipr without the pigtail without damaging it.

I have links in the description with all of the stuff you need to do it. If you don’t do the air test you will keep chasing your tail.

Great video I have a question. Or better yet I'll give you this scenario. Driving down a freeway low fuel comes on . Go to the gas station put diesel in . Filled it out start up no problem driving down the road Approximately 4 miles and ban it just Shut off. I've change the two filters check for water didn't find any. I put a brand new ficom. Fuel engine control module. Put in two new batteries . Put some diesels start in the Carburetor and it started for a second . Someone said if I remove the ICP And cranked it over oil should shoot across the street. I did that and I have no oil coming out whatsoever. Like I said I was driving and a just shut off and he ideas thank you In advance

[@InTheShop]

Does the oil pressure gauge on the dash come up when you are cranking it?

[@albert15986]

Did you figure it out? I just bought truck with a similar scenario. PO said after filling up and driving home it started running rough and eventually died. And had to tow the csr home. It has the warm non start and once it cooled down then it would start and but it would still not have power to drive

[@clydesmith8285]

I have a 2005 Ford Excursion 6.0 powerstroke throwing a code 2290. I don’t have any black smoke at start up, idles ok, the problem is no power during certain speeds. Do you think it’s the HPOP or one of the sensors? I have an Edge CTS2 but can’t monitor all of the things you are saying to check for. Any thoughts of where I should start?

[@InTheShop]

Unfortunately the only way to really diagnose that problem is to watch that specific data while the issue is occurring. I would try to get my hands on a scanner or monitor that can read that data. That being said I have seen quite a few HPOPs cause a lack of power and simultaneously set that code. I just don’t like to throw an expensive part like that without verifying.
