I’m new to diesels, bought a 6.0 and love learning all about the “just in case it doesn’t start”. Your diagnosis and step by step methodology is fantastic. If you were closer you’d be my go-to shop. Thanks so much for such informative videos! Makes me more confident to own and be able to diagnose my truck if/when there are any issues.

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@AlexMacDIY don’t count me out on the distance, have one in the morning driving 5 hrs from Kentucky for a DCR pump conversion on a 6.7 and 2 weeks ago 9 hrs from Texas for a oil cooler on a 6.0. Were here if you need us.

[@AlexMacDIY]

@@AutomedicGarage Thanks Man! Me and the Truck are in Miami FL or in Upstate NY so theyre both a good distance. But yes, if this thing dies and I cant find a shop youre my first call. Im still Original, No studs, no tune, original oil cooler, at 230k miles. deltas are low which gives me confidence for now. I had 1 weird day where the truck was idling, started misfiring and died. After a few attempted starts got code P0281 #7 unbalance. i let it sit and it fired back up like nothign happened. Ran some injector cleaner and havent had any issues since. Going to get the Forscan lite from the video and see if I can test injectors, ICP, etc.

[@thomasmiskimin8970]

Thank you for the video, that is very helpful. Unfortunately, looks like that specific diagnostic tool is not available anymore, but did get something similar. Also, downloaded the ForScan Lite App. I'm personally pretty tired of "throwing money" at the problem, so I think this tool will be great and help diagnose better. I plan on having a semi-annual check for ICP, IPR, EBR, etc. Hoping I can figure out the voltage needed at each of those showing a healthy sensor. Thank you again!

Awesome product! Quick question, 2005 6.0 gets a “waste gate” sound from the air filter after decel from accel. What is causing that? Will it damage anything? I’m a first time diesel owner so I want to get it fixed or told it’s fine. Thanks guys. I’ve watched almost every video of yours! Keep the very informative videos coming!

Thank you sir 👍😁

[@kevindunn175]

How do you pull the drain back valve out without breaking the tangs? I pulled mine once before and if I remember correctly I think one of them broke off. Asking because I would like to pull mine and install a new one on my next oil change unfortunately I just did one this weekend and you just posted this video today lol. However I don’t have a long crank but my oil gauge imo I believe is building the same as it did in the video in beginning.

Surely other OBDII readers can work. Ive got one I paid about 50.00 for and using torque pro after reading ford diesel forums. I opted for the reader with wifi and Bluetooth ability. Worked connecting to my laptop with forscan downloaded to test injectors clicking thing. Is the set up you have specific to forscan app and reads info while truck is cranking? I put an android/radio with 7" screen to run the torque app and a bunch of sensor dials specifically the Delta of eot ect but while cranking the radio/screen shutts off. I'm going to try my phone's app version to see if it remains measurements of voltages and psi

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@reeaub this is not a forscan specific item. Just one that at the time was the most affordable route to go. I’m sorry Amazon seems to not stock it anymore

[@reeaub]

I feel little stupid but obviously the power to the radio/head unit shuts off while cranking. When I had phone app connected I could see all gauges I had set up while cranking.

[@corradettimotorsports360]

speaking of fuel pressure, does the "blue spring" upgrade make all the difference? and why did Navistar give a TSB for the VT365 and Ford did not? Great Video as always!

[@AutomedicGarage]

Yes blue spring is an excellent cheap improvement to help prevent injector failure due to the intensifier piston getting ruined from low fuel pressure. As far as why international did a tsb but ford didn’t I have no idea.

[@johnpreston4934]

I have a 03 f350 6.0, it had a crank no start a few weeks ago but one battery was shot and I replaced both fuel filters and oil filter and was working so thought it was good but then it shut off while idling yesterday and no start. I checked volts on ficm and looks to be about 50. I checked oil filter and it was empty buy filled up while cranking and has good oil pressure on gage while cranking. Also took fuel filter cover off and pumps fuel out with key on. One thing I did notice is the rpm gage is not moving while cranking. Also think the motor might be an 06, it has four leads on ficm.

I really enjoy watching your videos very informative. I got a question I'll change my batteries. I want to upgrade the alternator from the factory what's a good and biggest alternator you can go on to without having to replace the whole wire system? I live up North. Getting brand new batteries along with it. I seen some 230 amps but that might be too much. I think maybe 185 to 200 amps be safe.

[@AutomedicGarage]

I’ve heard Mecman? I think that was the name. Never tried one but my alternator/starter shop usually just upgrades the windings and improve whatever I send them.

[@adarngoodjoe4043]

Do you have an Amazon affiliate link or anything like that for this scan tool?

[@CaiHouse]

Nexas OBD2 does monitor coolant temp so I guess if that get too high it would indicate trouble without knowing engine oil temp. I guess the delta between the two is critical info.

[@AutomedicGarage]

Will that tool help figure out if my ipr is bad with out hooking up a pressure gauge. And thanks for all the replies on other vids too

Pressure gauge won’t tell you if your ipr is bad anyways. You know your ipr is bad if everything else is functioning as it should be still have no HPO

[@dammitdon4123]

So if i understand correctly......when you turn the truck off and then turn the switch back to koeo and the oil pressure gauge starts to drop its the drain back valve or the low oil pressure relief valve.

I have a 2006 Ford F350 6.0 Turn no start, I replace the glow plugs and ICP, IPR. the IPR had a hole in the screen, the oil filter would fill up with oil, I use a suction pump to pull the oil up on the left side of the engine through the ICP hole I unplug the fuel connector to keep it from hydro locking. Then I plug it back up with key in had someone else turning the key and it was cranking about the crank up, then they stop and turn the key off! before in crank up. And now it will not crank up. I even took all the glow plugs back out, unplug the fuel and spun the engine removing all the fuel. then I replace all the glow plugs back in. and it still want crank. Every time I look on amazon the gage is sold out! I need a (OBDII reader any other suggestions? I learn a lot from watching Diesel Ron. And you are right I cannot afford an OBDII for $250.00 I can afford one for $ 150.00, I have a lot of bills and other stuff that I'm trying to get done. I guess the only thing left is the (standpipe & dummy plugs and high-pressure oil rails and O-rings and Injectors.) But that is a lot of money for what I just listed. I need help. Can't afford to have Diesel mechanic work on my truck.

[@AutomedicGarage]

@@johnnybegood6228 you have to have some way to read live data and also a way to air test after that if the numbers reflect any Hpo leak but if your having fuel come out of the glow plug on any cylinders it sounds like you have a stuck injector.

[@AutomedicGarage]

Need to read icp, icp voltage, ipr duty cycle, FICM main power and FICM sync and hook a manual fuel pressure gauge up. Icp needs to hit 500 to crank, ipr should be at 84% until it cranks, FICM should be 47-48 volts and achieve sync once rpm’s hit 150 while cranking and icp voltage should be around .24-.27 volts. Fuel pressure should be at a minimum 45psi but optimally 50-55
