Ford 6.0 powerstroke diesel front cover tips and tricks.

I'm trying to show the highlights of doing a front cover n the 6.0 diesel while leaving the intake on and tight. The main thing to watch for is damaging the o-ring and having it positioned right so the gears do not bind up.

[@jamesgazdag876]

even though ron passed away i still watch these videos over and over sad hes gone he really helped so many people by making videos of these 6.0l diesel hes got me out many jams and saved me thousands of dollars RIP RON

My water pump let go on a trip down south 2 weeks ago, I was stuck on the side of the interstate. I looked up Ron's video on how to change the pump, found a local auto parts store, and was back on the road in a few hours. I appreciate all the effort he put into his videos and thank him for helping us all out.

I bought the milwalkee M12 1/4 ratchet after seeing how much you use yours...I absolutely love it,also grabbed the 3/8 version this week...they are real time savers.

[@SebastianBlix]

Thank you for uploading this. It was very well produced, and immensely helpful. Thanks again!

[@cryptothuggin293]

2023. Just found ron a few videos ago. Thanks man. Im going to attempt this. Hope you can guide me in spirit. Thanks alot for your help!

[@subietec]

Ron, your a legend.

i miss this guy he a great tec who did act like he knew it all

[@georgedemean2228]

First off all let me Thank you for publishing this amazing videos!!! How many labor hours are involved in the gasket removal / installation process? Many thanks....!!!

[@jbsmith7988]

the g rotor should slide in freely without tapping on it. if you cant slide it in loosen the bolts and pry the cover up with a Philips screw driver in other bolt holes until it will slide in freely. you can loosen up the intake without removing the turbo, ficm or filter assembly. then put the oring in with the cover already installed. only takes 5 minutes to loosen the intake

I have coolant in the oil, could that front cover gasket cause coolant to go in the oil Ron?

[@Livingwater86]

Hi Ron can you make a video how to replace a water pump from the beginning and after if you can please

[@acemechtowing5287]

I have a question on the 6.0 the timing cover on the front one of the water pump is big and the other one is small if I put this I got the big one in the small water pump if I put it on when it overheats

[@ScagSWZU]

What do you seem to like better the 3/8 or 1/4 cordless ratchet ?

[@mistasoulsnatcher7402]

Hello DTRon. I have question. I am having trouble with my 04 f250 6.0. I have no oil pressure at idle i have changed the sensor and the filter. Any suggestions? Plz help

[@rcpsd1994]

I have 03 6.0 I've had it for three years and the low pressure oil pump has gone out twice any suggestions on why this keeps happening?

[@sjepson100]

Fine.... but how do you actually get the front cover off after everything has been disconnected and all the bolts removed? I thought it might just pop right off with a few taps and a little prying. Mine seems to be on so tight that it didn't budge with what seemed like a reasonable amount of force with a crowbar and an 8lb sledgehammer. I don't want to break or damage it. Can't find any videos on the internet that show it being taken off. ? I see a comment about placing the gasket over the dowels but I don't see any in the video. Because they are apparently back there, I assume that prying it off is better than trying to knock it off. ??

Hey guys bought a 2007 28 passenger school bus almost a year ago it had 43000 original miles on it shortly there after within 600 miles it started hydro locking on me turns out the egr cooler had a breach in it so I did a egr delete on it basically welded a plug on both sides of the egr and called it a day then continued with life as usual it smoked for about 25 miles then no more smoke ran great went on a 100 mile drive spent the night stared it the next morning no problems life was great but then "Cue scary music. I returned on the 100 mile trip as I was pulling in to town it started running at a higher rpm then as i was parking it The motor stared loping as if one side of the motor was dying i turned it off and there gentlemen is where it did a shitty magic trick And turned in to a big yellow yard ornament oh probably dont have to mention it's a vt365 since then at the advice of a diesel mechanic I have replaced the ficm the ipr all of the glow plugs as well as the the oil and all filters including fuel Then found out fuel gauge doesn't work put 20 gallons of fuel in it and still it sits I had another diesel mechanic come look at it and was told it only has 1700 psi oil pressure after the high pressure oil pump so I pulled the high pressure oil pump but cant tell if the quick disconnect coupling is bad after all this mouth breathing I ve done my question is if the quick disconnect coupling has side to side movement is it bad I.m sure a few of you guys are saying you poor bastard let it go buy a Hyundai it's over but if anyone has any other advice I would accept it humbly thanks monti

Hey can you put the new style front cover from an 05 on an earlier 04

[@smokeskull]

Thanks for the tips. I got a original 40000km motor that developed a fairly bad leak at the front cover. Is that normal and should I look for anything when I take it apart? Should I apply sealer to the aluminum part of the gasket to prevent future leaks?

[@DieselTechRon]

oil leaks from the old style front crank seal were kinda common. anything else in my area of the desert is not common. yes a light dab of silicone to help with uneven surfaces, corrosion or where 2 or more joints meet is always a good idea.

[@smokeskull]

+DieselTechRon thanks for the quick reply should I perhaps just pull the balancer and inspect the front crank seal first?

[@Jeffreykum]

I was trying too replace the steel heater pipe that goes on this it will not come out . Can you heat it?

[@ae86boss1]

Do the rotors have to be put back on a certain way?

[@rickconnock7578]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Jeffreykum]

How hard is this job for someone that never has done it? I'm still trying too get my heater pipe out ?

[@brianknight8726]

Why the 3m adhesive when there are dowles. Not questioning Ron. Just curious

[@eduardogarcia7228]

Great video and tips on how to install without taking without taking intake off. But, do you have a video on removing the front cover ? I'm about to perform my first one and not sure how to remove the front seal. Any help would be greatly appreciated Ron.

[@SeeShelby]

Ron is no longer here on earth but has left these great vids for us all to enjoy, he will be greatly missed.

[@FernandoSantos-dx7cj]

The reason why the low pressure pump goes out if it picked up a bunch and debris on the oil pan through the strainer

[@michaelsnow696]

I'm having a problem with the Oring between the timing cover still leaking, after still using a putty knife and it still wants to leak around it. anyone have any ideals

[@deletemepleez]

I have had an oil leak in the front of the engine not sure if it is coming from the front cover or engine head gasket are there oil ports on the front engine cover?

[@deletemepleez]

+inter caetera inquisition FYI it is not the main seal. It seams to be coming from the top drivers side of the front cover is that possible?

[@jtnoodle]

I thought regular old silicone reacts negatively with diesel/oil?

[@justnsaliga8518]

8 years later you got yourself a response......... Red RTV breaks down in presence of Diesel fuel or Oils..... white RTV doesn't

[@cobygonzales5902]

What are the symptoms of that front cover gasket going bad?

[@iancatt5915]

Coby Gonzales have your oil tested by black stone and if you have a excessive aluminum presence in your oil expect a front cover

[@blu3cha0s]

my o rink keeps on leaking. can anyone watching this video who has had the same prob help me. ive put in numerous o rings and i know they are going in flush

[@iancatt5915]

Try not putting a excessive amount of grease on it try a light coat of die electric grease

[@blu3cha0s]

Gary Catt its at the mechanic now im letting them have the headache. The oil cooler started leaking because i was pressure testing the coolant to high

[@trocketman13]

how tight to you torque those bolts?

[@Righandwelder1202]

I can't get the lpop gears out to remove the cover.. any idea what would cause that

[@rainiernguyen4574]

remove the aftermarket seal ring from the end of the crankshaft. hit a few dents in it to loosen the ring using a flat chisel, then you should be able to pry the ring off and then remove the center oil pump gear.
