I’m not a Ford guy by any means, but it’s nice to see guys that take pride in their work, I work In a Transport shop and most guys don’t care about quality work

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thank you very much, i care greatly!

[@juandurango6867]

Waaoo, this is a complete surgical procedure. I have seen many of 6.7 leaking just with less than 20.000 miles.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

For anyone doing this project, you may find it worth while to just order new upper and lower pans ahead of time as well. Both are cemented on with silicone and the lower pan bends easily. Both pans totaled $350 locally here and easily saved me 2 hours worth of trying to get the old silicone off. I believe they also recommend replacing the flexplate bolts and pay special attention to bolt pattern and torque specs.

[@carls2210]

I hope someone makes an aftermarket upper oil pan with a built in gasket soon. Or ford goes back to a gasket style upper oil pan

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

They do now!

“Buy a Ford”, they said. 😂 Doing this job at work right now and I can’t believe how complicated they made this and how big of a mess this job caused.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

👍👍👍👍

[@holywobbles8703]

Interesting to see how other dealerships tackle these oil leaks. At my dealer, we reseal the front cover as the leak originates from the front-driver side of the engine usually an inch or so above the upper oil pan. But we don't replace the upper oil pan. Although as tempting as it is with all the cleaning.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Memeber to fix them boys RIGHT THE FRIST TIME. Dont be short cuttin. Although they maybe leaking there, Henry & I are finding these upper pans warped. Sliding the front cover on to do it your way, to me, too much risk. I aint doin it again.

[@holywobbles8703]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I know you gotta bend the lower oil like hell to even get it off, but never have seen a upper oil pan warped. Anyway, never had a recheck. Had a '17 350 today that was leaking oil again after the last tech only resealed the upper oil pan 20,000 miles ago.

[@edwinberrios3256]

PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod hey bud, is this normal? I have a 2019 F350 dually that I use for hotshot and it has 67,000 miles, I take really good care of it and just recently discovered the leak on my truck, took it to the dealer and thankfully it was still under warranty, they told me it would’ve been in the ballpark of $2200 to fix this problem.

[@justinthomas3253]

Nooooo. I just had my transmission out to replace the torque converter. 3 months later the oil pan starts leaking significantly. One of the worst parts was taking the torque converter bolts out.

[@captianhoran]

Almost every pan leak I’ve ran into is coming from the front cover about .5 inches above the mating surface but maybe it’s a California thing having the covers leak

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yepp i know what ur talking about....if i see it there and its all crusty.....they have ALL been upper oil pans. Have not done 1 front cover.....the front rubber front cover gaskets are pretty robust.

[@cameronparke9712]

Great video, just wondering if the silicone would seep over the edges into the engine once the pans were tightened back on? Would that not be an issue?

Some seepage towards thee outside of both edges is normal. NOW adding the correct size bead, well that is up to the yahoooo doing the repair...

[@CodyJames29]

Hi. My 12 has 160K. I’m about to do the upper pan gasket. Do you recommend changing the rear main seal and the rear engine cover gasket while it’s apart, even if those are not leaking. Or should I just do the leaking pan gasket and call it a day? Thanks Bud! Mike.

I would juss be doing the rear seal as well

[@kayacredico7297]

I've usually found them to be leaking at the t joint, driver side, between upper pan and front cover. Usually later 16's and 17's. I always just pull the engine, throw it on a stand, drop the lower pan, and flip it. I've tried doing front cover with engine in and cab down several times and actually took me longer, and much less "enjoyable" lol.

Yea, no...def not pulling the eng for that, christ....

[@kayacredico7297]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yeah sounds ludicrous I know. But much easier I find. Especially with that clearance spec. So you've found that the front left corner leak is coming from the pan and not the bottom of the front cover huh? Maybe next one I'll do just the upper pan (in cab) and see how that rolls. I have found, on occasion, that clearance spec at the bottom of front cover to be incorrect though.

Great video and information. I have a 2011 that I'm pretty sure has that leak. It has almost 270k, I've done the lower plastic to steel pan fix already. Besides that, what else would you recommend be done if I were have the upper done? rear crank seal, etc. If I bite the bullet to have it done, would like to everything I can get done with all that labor. Trans went dry when I first got it and it sometimes acts up, found and ball and spring on the first change so was thinking I would have that done too. Keep up the great work on these videos.

Just had my warranty upper pan faulty silicone repair done on our 2019 F 250 6.7. Service was nice enough to let me look up in there when she was all torn apart. Lot of black sooty oil to dry up and clean. I saw all the cleaners and prep that is mandatory to get it done right. So far so good on the repair. A Airsteam pull from Florida to Ohio and back should be good news or not. I made sure no rush they had all the time they wanted to drip out clean and let the new silicone cure. I do have a question can you comment on the 6.7 typewriter tick that is more prevalent after an oil change. Ford Oil and Filter or Amsoil Syn Oil and Filter same noise. Ford says normal but what is it? Sound is like an old school lcollapsed lifter.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I know this video is old, but i have 2 questions: 1. Why did you have to replace the whole upper oil pan? Wasn't it enough to clean the existing one and apply new silicone to it? 2. This is unrelated to the repair. Whats your opinion on surface rust on an iron block? Do you need to worry about it long term? Or the engine won't rot away?

By the way, the truck in that video appears to be a 2015/16 model year by the EGR cooler coolant hose routing. Watching this video gives he the heebee geebees about keeping a hawk's eye on my own engine in that very area, and knock wood, it still appears to be BONE DRY (I change my oil every 3K miles [5K kms]). Interesting that you pull the transmission, and now after watching the video I understand why it's required for this repair. Even more interesting is the engine doesn't appear to need to be lifted up. So the upper oil pan clears?

I do have some friends at my dealer, one of which is a fleet adviser and has a 2017 6.7 i did a custom stock lightweight tune for. Mines is also tuned of course as that's what i do but it got me thinking, Have you done any warranty work on tuned trucks? Or do you deny them all right away?

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Yeah i can tell by your videos you've done one or two lol! I saw this video so i made sure i said "appears" to be leaking from the timing cover on purpose lol. I noticed this truck had the leak in the same area just worse and thought to myself, if this fixed it mines gotta be the same thang.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yepp yepp it is. Hopefully you find a good minion to do it RIGHT.......!!!😉🤝

JaegerWrenching did you ever get yours looked at? I also have my 19 tuned and they denied doing mine under warranty. The first thing they’ve denied with mine being tuned.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Wow!

[@elipicon5020]

I had the oil filter adapter o rings replaced and same thing on the oil cooler on my 2011 And still leaking. Now that I know what the problem is. My question is should I use silicone on the upper pan or rubber gasket? Nice video tho.. thank you!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

U have a press in rubber gasket. You can switch upper oil pans so u have silicone...

[@williamallen9675]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I have a 2011 withe the leak and the upper oil pan with the rubber gasket. My questions are: 1. Is an upper oil pan with the gasket easier to get off as in it's not as likely to get damaged while removing it? 2. Can I reinstall and use a new gasket and the silicone? 3. Whats the part number for the upper oil pan without the gasket groove? Thanks and great video. I'd love to see one where you remove the rear crank seal.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Doesnt come off any easier, do not knw the p/n off hand & thanks 4 watchin. Will have to get a rear seal r&r up

[@HowDoiNerd]

I can’t believe you did this in chassis. At my dealer we’ll just pull the damn engine

You can get a air one and a regulator on amazon for around $50...well worth the money when this is all we do anymore... Haha

[@scha0786]

How long would those wipes keep? Is that container they come in seal air tight? Thinking of just having those in my garage for not just this application. I do lots of wrenching on other stuff and brake clean is my go to but you may have just sold me on those wipes if they can hang around fresh for a year or two. Also do you have a video of the transmission removal of a non chassis cab? Just curious

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yea they stay sealed...I dunno bout a shelf life that long. No I do not. Removal is the same

Since you have to remove the oil cooler do you drain the coolant first? I’ve watched several upper oil pan vids and nobody shows that step.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Step 1 bro

[@5.0george16]

Got one today but it looks like the rear main .. do u know if thats common or did we miss the target and its upper pan like usual

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

...probably the upper pan. Have done 2 rear seals & u knew they were leaking. Every other one has been an upper pan!

[@mattb8920]

Is it normal for it to smell like burning oil for a bit after. I just had this done a week ago and i noticed yesterday at idle I can smell burning oil in the cab.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yea....no there shldnt

[@greglysne3260]

Will this upper pan make a front main looking oil leak? I have a truck on my fleet that has the vacuum pump replaced and about 5 front main seals.

[@beauhenry6693]

What transmission jack do you use and what weight is it rated for?

[@SineMacula]

Hey man, my 6.7 makes a whining noise right when it hits 195 degrees, if I rev the engine past 1000 rpm it goes away and will come back when I stop again. Ford replaced the transmission pump, but that did nothing. Someone guy had the same noise and said it ended up being the crankshaft and had to replace the whole engine. Any idea what it might be? Thanks for your time.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Without listening to it, kinda hard. Would love to dive in tho

I have the same problem the winding

[@SineMacula]

@@cityboiphresh5687 mine stopped doing it after I started putting Rotella T6 5w-40 and Hotshot stiction/FR3 you rotate them ever other oil change. I also put a lower temp thermostat in it and ccv reroute kit on it after I cleaned the throttle body and intake. The noise is gone, I think the Rotella T6 5w-40 with the Hot Shots Stiction Eliminator is definitely worth a try, I'm pretty sure that's what did it for me.

[@eduardocampos2214]

Question, what tool do you use to put back the bolt that is really hard to get to on the passenger side for the upper pan? I did my upper and lower pan and I can’t reach with my hand to screw few threads back on

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Long ¼ drv rachet and a medium deep 10 milly

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Thank you, that’s the only bolt I couldn’t put back on, just literally finish an hour ago.

Like butta. Have you done a movie on a 6.0 upper pan reseal yet? Do you do them in chassis or pull the engine everytime?

Engine hasta be pulled everytime!....im not into the recheck, come back game. I do but its 10 yrs old and you guys dont wanna see that stuff

[@weshargate]

Should you do a rear main while you are there or do they ever really leak?

You could, but if its warranty & isnt leakin......then i can only fix whats leaking

I am looking at buying 2013 with oil all over under the front end and after watching this video, I believe this is the issue. I am still thinking about buying the truck. But, now I have a better idea of the total cost of ownership.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yeppppp!!!!!

[@chadnaeger4533]

Did you have to loosen the motor mount bolts to pull the transmission, I am doing my first one next week at the shop I work at but the truck is to heavy for a rack so it will have to be done on the floor

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

No

[@tomh7871]

Great video but you edited out the part on where you deal with the oil pickup. What do you do with it?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

U dont do anything with the oil pickup....

[@tomh7871]

It just comes out with the pan? I see there is at least one bolt attaching it to the pan itself and I assume there's one attaching it to the oil pump

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Comes with the oil pan....

[@tomh7871]

Thanks. I'm at that point on my truck now. all bolts removed and just prying gently to get it loose. unfortunately I have to replace some rod bearings. if you have a video or any info on that, I would love to see it. Thanks again!

Dang, good luck

Took 2019 to the dealer. Dealer says there is a redesigned oil pan. They're ordering one and will call me in a couple of weeks to schedule the install. Any truth to this new oil pan design?
