EGR COOLER REPLACEMENT ON 6.0L POWERSTROKE 3 in series

EGR COOLER REPLACEMENT ON 6.0L POWERSTROKE 3 in series

[@ggw928]

Back in high school, I took auto shop. My teacher thought he was going to outsmart the class and asked what tool he was holding up. I promptly answered that it was a lady slipper. Working with my granddad had many advantages, not only did I learn tricks and ways from and old timer as he called himself, but I got to spend quality time with my grandfather, fueling my love and drive for mechanics and automobiles.

Thank you for doing these videos! I just had my 05 egr cooler give up. I live in Ohio and plan on doing the work myself. And boy am I glad I service my truck myself, with good oil! Nice and clean :). Thanks again!

[@bryanmartinez6600]

did you use the bulletproof egr cooler

[@jacob7342]

What miles were you at when your egr cooler went?

[@stixnfeet7818]

"I have lots of parts laying around because I junk out about 50 trucks a year." Wow, what a testimony!

[@Nostradamus_Order33]

Disposable trucks

My Cousin purchased a used truck with a 6.0 for 5k about a year and a half ago, it is his family's only means of transportation. He works a regular job and don't have a lot of money; it ran fine and got good mileage, but about 2 weeks ago it started running rough and he discovered oil in the water. A mechanic diagnosed a failed oil cooler, and estimated a few K to replace the part. I wonder if some of this other stuff will be bad in it too, poor Cuz can't even afford the oil cooler and no way either of us could attempt all this to replace it. Diesels are very involved with regard to repairs.

[@AYSKOFI]

OK, I watched the whole video waiting for you to show us the secret to reinstalling the small curved upper fan shroud that's located just behind the shroud with the Powerstroke emblem on it at the front of the engine. PS, Joe your mechanic is an amazing guy. Hang onto him, he's worth his weight in gold. Great video but it has convinced me to pay someone else, rather than attempt to get to the EGR cooler if needed. Thanks again.

[@armurano5093]

I did my my EGR valve myself today and I was so proud of myself until I watched this.

[@87s15lt1]

Nice to see I'm not the only one that goes the extra mile. Money well spent! Keep it up guys.

[@Maxid1]

I just had my alternator replaced. I think the original one produced 110 amps. The new one is 140 amps. (My truck also trickle charges the camper batteries). So I was so happy on my 45 minute to an hour drive back home not to see the battery light come on. I get to a hill where I had to stop for the light and however the truck holds it on a hill, is engaged. The light changes and I hit the accelerator and nothing happens. It's still idling but doesn't Rev and it doesn't move. I drop it into first (it's an automatic) and still no change. So I put it in neutral with the brake on, rev it and let the rpm's drop a bit before dropping it into drive. That worked. I had to do that one more time. After driving another 20 minutes I went to a hill and tried to make it do it again, it didn't. The garage I took it to said the two things. replacing the alternator and the pedal position indicator (the thing they suspect is the problem) don't have anything to do with each other. What do I know? All I know is it happened right on the heals of the repair and on a hill a I've been stopped on a half dozen times before without incident.

[@johnp9235]

Would love to see more videos like this. Excellent little series.

[@wolfmanrebel874]

Years ago a lady brought in a 2.2 4cyl s-10 she had intended on us tearing down re-rimg and new bearings, I unbolted the valve cover and it would not let go I pryed and tapped and so on finally it let's go and I'll be..another valve cover under it ,I told boss man we have a serious Quaker state motor over here it was like a perfect wax replica of the valve cover ,we start chiseling away just to get to the dang head bolts we changed our mind and told the lady her best bet is a new or at least junk yard engine

[@jojomorgan8556]

I saw an engine that had been filled with nothing but Lucas oil additive once.... it took 400ft lbs of torque just to turn it over.... dumb people should always use the oil recommended on the filler cap and leave additives to people with brains but.... if they did I wouldn't rebuild so many chevy engines at $1000 labor each time and I'd have to work on something actually requiring effort.... lol 5.7 vortec full rebuild takes about 48 hours to lazily do solo at this point.... and I keep extra kits on hand for the morons around these Louisiana swamps that think Chevy means TANK.

[@scorge30]

I am glad that my 1st gen 7.3 PS motor does not have an EGR cooler. My 7.3 is much easier for the old shade tree to work on. I cringe each time I watch a mechanic work on any other the newer engines. The mechanics working on 6.0 and later Navistar engines must have the patience of a saint.

[@gregflaugher9363]

Great video Thanks for helping the vets

[@MrHeadshot1982]

Thanks for the post keep up the good work.

[@doesitcrush2093]

Love these Diesel tear downs and I don't own a Diesel.

[@robertovalenzuela8270]

Very good teacher

[@heribertomartinez9899]

I need a friend like jose

[@tradewhales9170]

glad to see your still around thought you guys closed up shop! #makingtradesgreatagain

[@luvsthestarz66]

And yes sears does have those pliers!!!

[@bellavarricchio7258]

Great video thankyou.

[@Duane002]

Those red plugs look like new battery post caps!

[@carlthornton3076]

Very Good!...

[@Nostradamus_Order33]

Where do you find the best EGR cooler? At the bottom of a garbage can. 😂

[@grndiesel]

Right next to the DPF...

[@miguelcolon8929]

New to your channel

[@anthonysteely899]

u do a great job bill

[@MrShakespeere]

Lol let's see you put it back together

[@jamesfenton7338]

Any good mechanic needs several projects to make money, I had 5 parking spaces for vehicles awaiting parts or approval. Synthetic oil is my standard, if mineral oil is used, there is no warranty. Saving money on oil can ruin a very expensive engine, it's not worth it. I am happy to have left the dealership in 95, I can't count how many dead 6.9's and 7.3's I had to repair. Now I drive a Dodge V-10, and diesels are to be avoided like the plague.

[@Nostradamus_Order33]

James Fenton Any diesel older than 2002 is a problem.

[@bradleynelson5915]

Any diesel newer than 2001 is a problem.

[@daveeddy2279]

Great job JOE YOUR THE MAN

[@cschultz1711]

Have you ever done an EGR cooler in a van? My e450 blew it at 91k miles and it's bad. Planning on doing myself, just dont know how much harder it will be with that limited space.

[@nerymanuel30]

Good job new follower, how much all the work worth in this job?

[@robbielangley8523]

My dad is a retired auto mechanic and during a teardown, he could immediately tell when Quaker State was used because of all the crap built up inside the engine. :(

[@TheArchetypeGamer]

I have on word for the best oil amsoil

[@smarterthanyou5688]

Can I use a droid phone instead of I phone to take pics?..😂😂 anyhow good video.. Doing my EGR this week

[@ntaylor1829]

What's that part being removed @ 6:40? It broke on my truck last week and I was stranded for 3 days (could have been more) in the mountains. Long story short, replaced that part and all of the lost coolant and am back in business now. I would like to get just that piece so I can give it back to the mechanic that took it off of the spare cooler he had in his shop.

[@silver1ton213]

Thank u for the videos I am confused though. I have a clean 2006 f350 with a 6.0 that I treat it like one of my kids (lol). I keep it in the garage and only drive it on nice days when it's not racing or snowing. I am thinking about getting rid of it and leasing a f150 but I like not having car payments right now but I am nervous about how my f350 might cost me in the future. Any advise???

[@silver1ton213]

Oops I meant rain not racing

[@repentfulsinner]

Silver1ton elc coolant, make sure your boost does not go over 25psi if your not studded. If its running good then try not to worry. I run t6 with archoil and love what it did to help my truck 05 6.0. i have all updates but not studded and i hold it to the floor every time i enter highway. it has tow tune. get a bluetooth odb dongle and torque pro app and you can watch almost everthing going on in your truck after you set up app. The late, Diesel tech ron, has given us values to watch on our torque app so you know what you are looking at. thanks to powerstoke help i am able to enjoy my truck with no worries. ty.

[@silver1ton213]

Ok thank u

[@Tactical-Black]

How much does something like this cost

[@christophertorres5]

I got quoted $2400 Canadian

[@onaciam]

Help my 6.0 /2005 - dually blows white smoke and after running awhile get oil on ground

[@dameronlyon6740]

Whats a build like this cost?

[@frankvacanti5277]

External oil cooler recommend to replace factory cooler? Or stock replacement ?

[@brettfrancis1527]

If I have to go through that putting.the 7.3 out of my wrecked truck in

[@whoodiestyle]

does the mishimoto radiator fit my v10 99 f250? we have over 300k miles on the motor and we replaced the radiator so many times and constantly the top plastic cover leaks after so many heat and cool cycles. it's a small leak but annoying to smell coolant all the time.

[@chrisstanford1184]

The information in these video is great but man is this guy pissed alot

[@SubieRow]

Lots of dipshit mechanics out there.... makes me mad as well....

[@bradleynelson5915]

He was alot more patient than me. After the second video, I've decided to set my truck on fire and send the video to my bank. I'm not throwing good money after bad on this money pit. I thought it would be something someone with 40 years experience could change, but I refuse to tear apart an engine to replace a cooler!😡🤬😡

[@lakefxproductions7528]

When you take the egr cooler out is one of the bolts shorter than the rest? Is the stud the same length as the rest?

[@jeffwinkelman6574]

I have a question about the 3 inch hose (mine is blue, yours was red). I replaced mine and it was very loose on the egr side, the other side snapped right in. After replacing it, I have a fast leak of coolant. Any idea why it's so loose on the egr side where it's gushing, and where can I go from here? I bought some backup heater hose from the auto parts store and a couple of clamps, can I get away with that? Should I just clamp the loose side of the blue hose? Any input is very helpful.

[@alfredogonzalez277]

Check the o ring on it mine went bad and leaked as well probably need a whole new one

[@ouimetco]

How does the oil end up on the Intercooler? Does it blow past the turbo somehow when it’s crappy oil???

[@mikemata623]

Blown turbo seals

[@marvindominguez3743]

How much cost to do all that job in a 2006 f350 6.0

[@ethana9161]

is there any way you would notice the unison ring is bad?

[@MrRobert1603]

where was the oil coming from in the intake ?

[@jimmy_olds]

Lady slipper is what I know them as well.

[@jasonmiller5521]

I know that tool as a lady's foot.

[@krisa.molina4719]

where can i get those red cap plug?

[@tsb8570]

So FICM is easier to change than EGR...noted 😂

[@StevenBlackStallion]

I have a 2002 7.3 Powerstroke Ford Excursion and I would like to know more about that truck.It came with 189000k miles diesel. now it's 204k. It runs and drives good. but you have many on 6.0 not 7.3. Why is that?

[@BonhommeRichard91]

Look for older vids by Bill. There are several 7.3 vids he did years back

[@sparkplug1018]

Its basically because Bill makes videos based on what comes through his shop. Not many 7.3L come in for repairs, so he doesn't get to make many videos about them. That being said, the 7.3L is a solid engine that doesn't have many problems. Just make sure your doing your maintenance regularly and that truck should last way beyond 204k

[@StevenBlackStallion]

ok thank you

[@jefftreseder4358]

At 4:19 I cringed with the all that brake cleaner and NO PPE!

[@jpvlogs8146]

How much you charge 15 grand lol 😂

[@dirtfireservices]

[@penetralium6387]

No such thing as oil..its Ol' bowa..
