How To Prime The High Pressure Oil System on a Powerstroke 6.0

[@Cowboycattlehauler911]

I fix the 6.0 it’s the only truck I specialize in and some 7.3 but mainly the 6.0 . I have been using these guys for years since day 1 for my customers and I have to tell you they are hands down one of the best ficm repair guys out there . Not only that they literally well help you u out . No high pressure sales on trying to sell u stuff u don’t need . They literally have treated me like family and are just full of knowledge on these trucks . I mean it guys an gals these guys don’t try to take your money they will literally not sale you something if they know that’s not your problem all though that has happened it they ended up being wrong lol . But it’s happened twice in 12 years . But if your looking for a ficm with there decent atlas tune on the ficm it is pretty damn good not to mention they use damn good parts and there lifetime warranty is awesome .

I never heard this before thanks I’ve always just cranked over over killing batteries on charger never did I know it could damage ficm thanks for this information

[@darrenmastervick597]

This exactly what I needed today. After doing head gaskets and trying to start it, it would start but not keep running I'm sure do to air in hp system. Been losing sleep about this, but am going to the garage now to fix it! Biggg thanks!

[@ficmrepair]

Of course! So glad to be able to help!!

[@rogerriggins8319]

Thank you Great video I tried the remote with the power lead to the positive cable in the past Did the third option this time and with my snap on solus legend helped watching the oil pressure achieve up to 1200 psi Worked better than the previous option. Again Thank you Full procedure worked beautifully Cold soaked after for about 6 plus hours and fired up with about a second and a half of cranking time cold start Awesome!! You’ll get my FICM biz now

[@scottk27332]

This is excellent information. I've been cranking my truck wrong after working on the fuel and HPO systems the entire time!

[@wyomingmobilerepair]

The wire to engage the starter key off is on the pass side not the driver side. (Obviously he knows and miss spoke), just mentioning. Yellow with a blue stripe in a black loom.

[@jeremyloucks556]

As a customer, YES, they take unbelieveable care of you!!!

[@olredbigb8248]

I found a recommendation for your video on a Ford Forum. I replaced dummy plugs and stand pipes today. Had to remove oil rail on passenger side. Can’t get truck to start now. I’m hoping with these tips/procedures I can get it fired up in the morning. Thank you for this detailed video

[@ficmrepair]

Of course! If you have trouble, give us a call!

[@Springfield-eo8jl]

Took me 4-15 second cranks to breach the 500psi mark. However I only had the driver side rail off. I deffinately heard the sound change you described.

[@giovanniperniciaro2069]

Amazing video I’ve been wonder why my truck wouldn’t start and it sounds like I just have air in the system after my rebuild and this helps a lot thank you.

[@projectbmx3225]

Did this work?

[@oahuhawaiihawaiian89]

Hi.. new owner of a 6.0 ..I appreciate your time making videos for us… my question is do I need fuel pressure and oil pressure to hear 👂 my injector clatter ? I changed my HPOP AND installing a fass fuel pump … IM NOT DONE WITH THE INSTALL.. when I turn my key on I don’t hear the injectors clatter… or do I need to finish the fass fuel system so diesel can go in the injectors any help will be greatly appreciated … from HAWAII 🤙🏽

[@thecarbaddie]

Thanks for this video.

[@fern629]

Awesome vidio!

[@ficmrepair]

Thanks! Knowledge is power!

[@mattmorgan6527]

Thank you very much, you helped me

Thank you! Praise Jesus!

[@stevenpetko3487]

The starter was turning over for the first part of the pressurizing. But when I came back a couple hours later to do the second part of it. Now the starter isn't working at all. Any ideas? I don't want to replace the starter if I don't have too. Also all fuses look good.

[@robertford8371]

Not the best way to do it, the best way is to prime the system through the ICP port. Remove ico sensor and use an oil squirt can to fill the oil rails with oil. For late 04 and up if you have the driver's side oil rails out then you can also pull the plug where the ICP would go if mounted on pass side and fill the oil rails from the driver's side as well. 2 or 3 cranks and it will fire up

[@RuralTowner]

If only there was a way to do do this on the early 04. Recently had the HPOP cover off twice. First when replacing the pump...which now I think was just the stupid ICP since I FUBARed the "disconnect" test so replaced the HPOP (probably unnecessarily though did get some gurgle during the air test) then again when I found out I rolled the D-ring. I thought about maybe priming through the J-tube? But didn't.

[@robertford8371]

@@RuralTowner priming thru J tube does work, you can even prime thru the ICP port afterwards

[@RuralTowner]

@@robertford8371 Problem is mine is the early 04 with the O-intake. PITA to get to the tube again. Also my ICP port is...not fun to reach.

[@dennismann9764]

ALSO DO I HAVE TO REPLACE VALVE COVER GASGETS?

[@jeremiahstyburski5047]

After replacing the oil cooler, is there like a tick sound from under the hood? Is that thr hpop trying to build pressure?

[@ficmrepair]

This is a common byproduct, yes!

[@DanielTorres-bw1zy]

Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@million1100]

Working Onan '05 6.0L. the stand pipes & dummy plugs have been changed, hpop has been changed, along with the hpop o rings. EGR delete has not been done. The small black o rings in the tops of the injectors were changed - no high pressure oil. Have low pressure oil, air tested hpop - have air leaks on the tops of the injectors. No pressure at the ICP when cranking ( can put your finger over the ICP port - no pressure when cranking.plugged the test tool for the hpop so it goes to full pressure ( wasn't sure if IPR was working - cranked - no hpo - any ideas?

[@DionnisGilmore]

The injectors are not supposed to leak

[@dennismann9764]

CANT U FILL HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD WITH AS MUCH OIL AS POSSIBLE BEFORE U REINSTALL IT...WOULDNT TAKE SO MUCH CRANKING ON STARTER??

[@brianjenkins2019]

First comment!

[@huntermiehle]

Someone needs to post times where he actually tells you the steps to do it. I loge knowing why and how something works inside and out. But i need to know how to do it. Bring the rain

[@LUlmer]

So in other words these 6.0s are garbage. If you own one, prepare to spend lots of money.

[@ficmrepair]

Lol. No. They are actually incredible motors that can go and go and then go some more. You just have to know some stuff! We're all in this together!
