6 7L POWERSTROKE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS

[@ManCrafting]

I just spoke with Bill’s wife. Bill passed away during surgery for a a massive heart attack. What a huge loss to the community.

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Thanks for the details. Why they matter so much I'll never know. They do for me anyway.

[@irey1978]

RIP Bill Hewitt 10/13/23 you will be missed my friend. Your channel was the first KZbin channel I ever subscribed to. Thank you for teaching us so much over the years. 😢

[@michaellynch99]

Rest In Peace William G. Hewitt (Bill) 1966-2023. It was a pleasure watching you through the years even though I am a GM guy and never owned a Power Stroke. Your wealth of knowledge will live on through all that had the honor of knowing and watching you.

[@phillipteems6617]

RIP Bill ❤!!! You are sorely missed.

[@roofrack21]

REST IN PEACE BILL you taught me more about powerstrokes than anyone else and were a pillar in the diesel community. Condolences to your loved ones

[@_Rocco_Sainato_]

Wow RIP to an absolute diesel legend. We all have learned so much for you, and you meant so much to the powerstroke community. Be at peace now Bill

[@jawsattak]

RIP BILL. Thanks for your informative videos throughout the years💐

[@BigBrianBriggs]

Rest In Peace brother, I bought my 7.3 excursion because of watching your videos. So much information and you dedicated your life to us powerstroke owners. The legend of Buford, Georgia. I’ll have your family in my prayers brother

[@pdx650]

To the Hewitt Family and Friends, My condolences go to out to you for this terrible loss. I was entertained and educated by his youtube channel's videos and learned a lot from him and the fellow maintainers at the PowerStrokehelp maintenance facility. He will be dearly missed. I never met the man, but from what I witnessed, he was a great man, a great educator, a great father, and a great friend to everyone. Sincerely. -pdx650

[@supergrendel]

RIP Bill, I never owned a diesel truck in my life but subscribed to your channel because I always found your knowledge of these trucks fascinating. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family good sir. May you roll coal through the pearly gates! You will be missed.

[@cnyautosales382]

Rest in peace Mr Hewitt. I always used to watch your videos as entertainment growing up in my teenage years. Years before I would come to own a Powerstroke pickup. You left behind a profound impact on not only me, but the powerstroke community. Thank you

[@hershelr.sullivaniii7139]

So sorry to hear of your passing, Bill. I know I speak for everyone here when I say that you will be sorely missed in this community. Thank you for everything you did for all of us. Thank you for being your normal, hilarious self. I kept planning to bring my truck to you, and I was going to come hang out with you at the lake, and learn how to barefoot ski. You'll be missed.

[@_JB89]

RIP Bill. Ive watched every one of your videos since I got my '95 7.3. Thank you for your years of dedication to helping us out. You'll be missed!

[@sni1144]

RIP and thank you to a diesel legend who helped so many!

[@sbag11]

To all at Power Stroke Specialty and the Hewitt family, I am so sorry for your loss. Though I never met Bill, I had dreams of one day finding an old 6.0 and taking it to him to get refurbished. I have an old 7.3 and learned so much from him about how to care for it. I watched all his videos and each month couldn't wait for the latest "trucks for sale" edition to drop. I must say I am a little in shock -- it felt as if I knew the man after watching him for so long. I think there are many others like me, and we grieve with Bill's friends and family. May God comfort you during this time. Blessings from Texas.

[@jonathanarcher8531]

So glad I picked up a dealer-proofed 6.0 from Bill. It’s still running like a top, 5 years later. I’ve took mine across the country four times, and use it as my daily driver. Got 21mpg on my way to NC this past weekend. I’ve also been using the Archoil faithfully. Yeah, screw the new diesels; I’ll just revamp my truck every few years or buy some add ons or upgrades and just keep on driving it.

[@marcusjames6862]

Thats actually really awesome , could you post a quick overview vid of your truck ? I can't find any of Bill's bulletproof 6.0's on KZbin =/

[@Dmp241]

Rip..

[@DM-tf6mk]

Miss my 6.0. Wish I hadn't sold it.

[@HMods1991]

RIP Bill, we’ll miss you. You taught me more about PSDs than anyone else just from your videos alone. I hope the business continues and I hope I can get my truck down to you guys some day soon. We’ll miss you buddy

[@98durangopack]

Rest easy old friend. Thank you for the years of knowledge and quality videos.

[@mattphillips1910]

Rest in peace, Bill. I can't count the amount of times your videos helped me out. I still have the first Ford diesel I ever bought....a 1987 6.9. I have a 1990 7.3 IDI, a 1997 F350 PSD, and a 2016 F450 PSD. I've had at least 6 others that I can remember. Your videos helped me with all of them in one way or another. What a tremendous loss to all of us.

[@PistonShack]

R.I.P. Bill, we are going to miss you so much. In your videos you always will be with us. Thank you so much for all you hard work teaching and sharing your experience. I have been watching your channel for over 10 years. As HD mechanic I learned so much just by watching your vids.

[@concrete2733]

Bill Hewitt, may you rest in peace. Your memory will live on in every powerstroke on the road and in your videos. Nothing else to say but, Thank You. Thank You for the motivation and the willingness to help others with knowledge.

[@carlosolvera72]

Bill passed away 😢. Thanks for all the advice. It really helped my career when I needed help learning as a young mechanic. You and diesel tech Ron really put out a lot of useful knowledge that I used to diagnose and repair trucks when I had no idea what I was doing. May your loved ones find peace in your absence.

[@warrenself]

R.I.P. Bill. Your videos really helped steer me along in my journey of looking at Ford trucks. Your legacy will live on and continue to help others. God bless your soul.

[@metalyca88]

RIP Mr. Bill Hewitt💔You will forever be missed in the powerstroke community. Your videos and shop have helped so many people over many years. I looked forward to bringing my truck to you to get her dealerproofed. Gone too soon. Godspeed, Sir! You will be missed dearly. 💞

[@robmd3851]

Rest in peace Bill, thanks for all the videos.

[@hvacexplained9341]

RIP Bill. You had such a passion for your job. They don’t make them like you anymore. As a Heating Air mechanic, I’ve learned a lot from this channel and how in depth you got with the vehicles.

[@ConnorLee-e9v]

RIP Bill. Thank you for everything you taught me over the years on these trucks. Because of your videos I was able to buy a 6.0 with confidence and got many, many years out of it with very few issues. May your soul rest in peace!

[@marksr1907]

RIP Bill. Love to the powerstrokehelp family.

[@Shaddowbanned]

R.I.P Bill , you've helped me tremendously, you'll be missed for sure. Thank you.

[@richardcervi8832]

[@grantottaviano7445]

Thank you Bill for helping me be a informed 6.0 power stroke owner, and making me someone who is capable of fixing my truck on my own on many issues. Your knowledge and eloquent explanations are priceless. You will be missed sir.

[@milesveney2439]

RIP Bill. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world and helping more people than you know.

[@onlymans165]

RIP bill. I was planning on buying a truck from you next year. Damn I hope your shop stays open, I will support your family by buying a truck

[@mustang8258]

I hope what I read isn't true, but if it is, it truly saddens me. You have been so selfless sharing all your knowledge over the years and even, out of the kindness of your heart, helped a 19 year old me over the phone while looking at buy my first 7.3. Thank you for everything, Bill.

[@Drose419]

Rest in peace brother, learned so much from this channel and his website, hope someone will carry it on.

[@nismomell]

[@bvillax1]

RiP🙏 has been here since I was a high-school brat with my powerstroke and learning everything from your videos. Selfless, direct, honest man God bless your soul.

[@mustangjames1988]

RIP Bill. Bought a 2014 6.7 in 2016. Watched a ton of your videos before pulling the trigger. Saved me from buying a 6.4. Thank you for all your videos.

[@TommyboyGTP]

Archoil just posted the sad news of his passing on their Facebook page. Such sad news! Thank you for all of your knowledge you've taught us!

[@hunterdrayer1836]

RIP Bill!! I’ve been watching your videos for 8 years even after I got rid of my 7.3, You were a legend

[@mattmascara1534]

Rest in peace old friend, we never met but your videos got me through some tough times with my 6.0. Much love

[@calebable9344]

[@beefstew5608]

Rest in peace Bill thank you for all the help and videos over the years !!!

[@cgwjy122]

I'm so sad to hear the news. I've been watching this channel for about 7 years now. Bill was a wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. Prayers go out to his family and friends. We will miss you buddy.

[@nhzxboi]

When the 7.3 DI came out in ~1993, they chewed through injector seals and dumped a bunch of rubber in the fuel filter bowl. Even engines with < 100 miles were skipping or not running at all. All we had to do is replace seals and clean out the fuel bowl. Now, the slightest contamination costs $10K. That is crazy. I love diesels but realistically they just plain cost too much to touch.

[@centraltexasfoxbodies]

The 7.3 di engine came out in mid 1994, in fact 7.3 idi was availble na or turbo in 1993, in 1994 you could get the 7.3 idi turbo and non turbo as well as the 7.3 powerstroke

[@Willyd2758]

I bought a 2018 ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi, and put a small tune and pipes on it. Fastest truck I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned tuned 6.0s and duramax trucks. Smooth truck, and really cheap to work on compared to a diesel. Have had no problems, trans. Services every 30k and oil changes every 4k. Pulls my 12,000 lb skid steer and 3 attachments, plus car trailer (total weight 15,000) around just fine. Probably won’t ever buy a diesel again.

[@srharris88]

That is why I keep my 7.3 trucks. IMO the 7.3 is the best engine ford ever used. I meticulously maintain them and still yet to have one leave me on the side of the road. The extra power and creature comforts that come with the 6.7 just doesn't justify the cost...for me anyway.

[@Quick_Fast_Hurry]

@@centraltexasfoxbodiesincorrect, 7.3 idi introduced 1987, I’ve got a 91’ with 7.3 idi

[@Sasquatch7.62]

​@@Willyd2758the only problem I see is you bought a dodge.

RIP Bill. Thanks for all of your videos over the years.

Never knew about this guy till I seen in my feed that he has passed away. Seems like a nice guy. Rest In Peice man. Even now that you're gone I'm certain that you're still going to be helping people who stumble accross this channel.

Rest in peace. I have enjoyed your videos over the years thank you for your insight.

[@ssgpentland8241]

NO!!!!!!!!! Just heard Bill passed away?! man.......I stopped by his shop just to shake his hand a few years back as I drove through the area. Of course he kinda gave me a sideways eye a bit because I was driving a Duramax, but I told him Archoil saved me from having to put in a set of injectors and I even did a thank you video on my own channel. Man....im in complete shock. The man was/in an absolute legend and his legacy will live on through the community he facilitated and the owners his efforts kept on the road. RIP Bill

[@kyle8380]

Thanks for all your videos all these years. RIP sir.

RIP Bill! Thanks for sharing your knowledge for nearly 2 decades and making powerstroke ownership easier for us all😢

[@cadillac8927]

RIP Buddy, my plan was to save up enough money to bring my 2002 7.3 all the way from Houston Texas to get it rebuilt by this great man that has a lot of knowledge on these trucks I would have made that journey

[@garrettn2685]

I’m sorry to be the person delivering this news if you’re seeing it for the first time. Bill passed away this past week. Archoil posted a dedicated message on their Facebook page in his honor. Also, I’m friends with the service advisor on Facebook (Scott) and he had shared the information for his calling hours (today on 10/21/23). I figured that I’d at least say something, in case nobody posted something on his KZbin channel. Anyways, I loved this man and he worked on my truck a few times when I lived in Savannah. I met Bill, Dana, Pascal, Mikey and Scott. All good good people. I’ll miss Bill dearly. God rest his soul.

[@justjoeitable]

Had my late 99 7.3l for almost 25 years now still runs beautiful pulls 20,000 lbs doesn't get the best mileage doing it. But the only things I've done were the ARE intake and 4-in banks exhaust on the banks turbo stuff downpipe whatever. Super reliable I love the manual hubs I can get about 18 on the highway and it's a 4x4 with a dual cab 6 ft bed

[@custommade4033]

I went back to a 6.4 hemi dually when diesel was getting expensive. Good for pulling up to about 17000 safely with 410s. Mileage isnt good and doesnt pull as hard, but cheaper to fix.

[@jasonsimpson3985]

RIP I can believe we lost Bill this is a huge loss for the world I hav never seen a man with more pride in his work

[@AmericanSurvival001]

And you'll probably run it to 400,000 miles, like My 5.7 hemi durango. which regularly pulls £10,000 trailers as. all wheel drive. and it's yet to be repaired

[@ronshinkle]

Going to miss this guy putting out these videos. Found out yesterday that Bill passed away. It's a shame he really came across like a sincerely fair man. Hope his legacy is able to continue in some compasity. My sympathy his family friends and employees.

[@daveprather9960]

I have 248,000 on my 2017 Lariat 6.7. Did have to replace upper oil pan but it cost me about $2500 - and that included a new oil cooler and main seal. No problem with fuel system so far (knock on wood) and truck still feels and runs like brand new. Love it! Oh, it’s been deleted for a while and I stick to only Bucee’s and Sam’s Club diesel.
