6.0 Powerstroke Air Filter Mod

This video shows modifications for better airflow on aftermarket air filter systems on the 6.0 Powerstroke engines.

It helps the flow, I usually take a whole saw and punch out 10 holes, just to help keep out the bigger debre out. Glad to see someone else is doing the same. Good video. Mark/ Macias Diagnostics LLC.

Glad to see you making content again.

I'm pretty certain the sensor in the front behind the grill is an air temp sensor for the digital outside Temp display. My 05 doesn't have the overhead temp display and it does not have the sensor either, just a plug for the sensor.

Gratz on addition to family

[@raulporras6239]

Thanks josh for all the valuable information you provide for us 6.0 owners 👷🏼‍♂️👍 Congratulations in new Baby’ 👶 the best wishes to you all......

[@mikewendell2362]

I’m glad to see you back to making videos congratulations on the baby

[@marcmmclellan]

You are a beast bro!

[@cyrusdavirus007]

I’d like a video on how to reduce heat in a 6.0 engine? Hood vents? Etc

[@dennishough3709]

I know this upload is 4 years old but I’ve been told that the stock air filter is the best way to go? I have 363,000 miles on my 6.0 and trying to make it to 500,000 miles.

[@sixyonex7385]

Good to see your back.

[@mcchieffo]

Ac compressor change on 6.0 would be a good video

[@patrickhandlin9481]

just did mine wasnt bad at all without the front bumper

[@user-kz9mp6qv5l]

Thats the AAT sensor. Baro is in pcm.

[@user-px1ws4xb7r]

Where the F... you been bro nice seeing you again

[@Jericho_bella]

I first want to thank you for the help the last few weeks I ended up doing rear standpipe and I put all new seals on oil rail and top and bottom injector seals my truck starts right up very very quick but now I have no boost 🥴🥴🥴I do have a hole in my plastic cold side would that cause negative boost I checked map sensor hose and hot side boots are soft but no noticeable holes or tears any help would be amazing

I have a06 F 450 with 134k miles that spun a main bearing and I get mixed suggestions on what to do some say have to replace the engine or rebuild it from top to bottom and others say replace the crank and bearings and possibly the cam and bearing and the rest is fine not sure what I should do

[@mikeodell5915]

Great video

[@riverrat8647]

Welcome back and congrats on your little one!!!.... Would it be safe to assume this mod wouldn’t be recommended for off-road? Seems like the risk of water ingestion would drastically increase.

[@powerstrokecustomsllc1942]

Justin E the filter housing has a 3/4 inch hole in the bottom under the filter element so any heavy water such as rain would drain. Water getting sucked in would increase power to a point. Kinda like water meth injection. It’s not like gas engines. But if you plan mud bogging or going through some river with the truck you might clog the filter up just as you would with the stock filter. Here in Washington we have heavy rain and snow and never had issues.

[@LC-hq6hc]

@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 I think they call this the zoodad mod I seen this like 5 or 6 years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't water meth go after the cold charge pipe? And if you cut a hole in this where you did then the water would go straight into the turbo making rusty corrosion on the turbo vains. Right?

[@powerstrokecustomsllc1942]

L C negative. The filter is oiled. Oil will stop water and repel it. So you won’t get much water going through the filter. Turbo vanes are on exhaust side of turbo not intake. You have an aluminum compressor housing and compressor wheel that won’t rust and are constantly pulling oil from the valve cover. I did this mod back In 2008 and still don’t have issues with rain or water. On the comparison vid you can see the hole in the bottom of the air box. Factory air filters don’t have drains. Both banks and s&b air filter systems do.

[@LC-hq6hc]

@@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 oh gotcha thanks great video! Thanks again

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

YOU ARE AN IDIOT, TURBO DIESEL SUCKS IN SO MUCH AIR IT WILL SUCK WATER. WATER ALONE WILL NOT INCREASE POWER. YOU SHOULD CUT IT DOWN LOWER. IT WILL GET AIR NOT WATER.

[@antn8387]

Thanks, Josh!

You say washington. As in wa state? You enjoy the snow we just had? Are you based out in snohomish by chance?

[@Fronabarger1]

Congrats

Where do you get those police jammers?

[@EVFR1326]

I have an '06 F250 King Ranch and I'm having an issue with my batteries going dead within 2 days. Nothing left on or anything plugged in the cigarette lighter. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

[@steveboggs9025]

obvious but, check your alternator? going dead that quick, something is drawing power.

[@ChaidezConstruction9052]

Good afternoon 6.0 doc I have an 2005 6.0 and I just changed the water pump and degas cap but my truck keeps over heating about every week it use to be every 3 days because of the old water pump I have been hearing that it maybe the heahgasket. If any one can share some knowledge on what else it might I would greatly appreciate it. It doesn’t leak any coolant at all. Thank you.

[@lukefranklin1766]

Sounds like your oil cooler is clogged

[@natalieplaysamoungus852]

Hi cool video congrats on your baby I have a problem with my truck is a 07 6.0 when I'm going down the freeway it cuts off at 1800 rpm any help will really appreciate it thank you

[@powerstrokecustomsllc1942]

Miguel Hernandez need to see what fuel pressure, icp, ipr, and ficm voltage is to diagnose that issue.

[@Cameron.Briery]

Do you prefer the clear plastic cover or the rubber one?

[@jasonpuzio9756]

Was that a Harley Davidson addition truck 😎

[@ssweeney9691]

I was changing out my injectors and I dropped the Torx bit into a valley located next to the injector seat. Can you tell me where that Valley or well goes to? I got an early 04 late 03 engine.

Did this, water gets in the intake from rain, covered it back up.

[@KERNFUZED]

funny ya said that i love the cold air def reads way cooler but my nephew who sled pulls thesewas like what gona do rain and snow! i was like wise ass ...so did it really screw it up i dont wna buy anohter s&b disposable

[@wellsmd1]

would you buy a 6.4 powerstroke over a 6.0?? which is easier to work on and reliable ??

[@SlowTundra]

6.0 is easier to work on and cheaper. 6.4 if you wanna make lots of power

[@dLikesDDs]

useless mod. literally the only thing you get is more turbo noises out the front and water in your airbox everytime it rains

[@markgeletzke6328]

Not true, I did this mod to my 05 6.0 back in 2007 and I have no issues with water. The truck lived most of life in California where the rain would blow sideways..Never once an issue, I ran an outer wear on my Banks Ram Air filter long before Banks decided to make their own..

[@dLikesDDs]

@@markgeletzke6328 its literally been proven many times by multiple people over the last 20 years by having the filter minder light come on due to a wet filter.

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

​@@markgeletzke6328 useless mod. The truck has zero benefits from doing this. The turbo charger negates any "ram air" effect. Literally totally and completely useless. - 20 year certified Ford diesel tech

[@blakeveit2061]

Isn't it more for colder intake air temps and not so much for any perceived ram air effect?

[@dLikesDDs]

@@blakeveit2061 in theory yes....but if you know 6.0s you'll know that little hole isnt going to make much of a difference with how much heat is under the hood, the turbo alone heats up the air. i can guarantee if you take an intake air temp reading before and after it wont be anything worth the hassle for a daily driver, full on race truck then maybe

[@davetscantech]

Don’t do this, I was sucking water into the motor

[@powerstrokecustomsllc1942]

Dave Taschuk ever heard of water meth injection? Water will cool intake air temperature, and make air more dense therefore giving you more power. Do your research.

[@davetscantech]

Yes I have but that’s a engineered system, not rain water/dirty road spray going through the paper air filter. Back in my Mustang 5.0 days I had a ram air under the bumper and it worked great but it wasn’t a direct line into the air filter No need to get cranky, this IMO is a bad idea, what happens when the air filter gets saturated with water?

[@powerstrokecustomsllc1942]

Dave Taschuk I live in the rainiest state in the country. The 8 years I’ve been here I’ve never had any damage from this modification. The banks super scoop does the same thing. And these filters are not low to the ground. The filter is oiled which will actually repel water. A gas mustang is a completely different animal. Of course this mod would probably kill your mustang. But not these Diesel engines. By the time water gets by the filter if any and gets compressed it’s mixed with heat which is around 400 degrees. Then put through the intercooler. By the time it makes it into the cylinder it would be in gas form and much less then a water meth injection is.

[@davetscantech]

We live on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada, gets pretty rainy here. I just don’t want water going through my paper air filter and going into my inter cooler, so let’s agree to disagree, I choose not to do this.
