NEW INJECTORS // ATLAS FICM UPGRADE // IDIOT PROOF

[@nickguerrero7787]

You inspire me man! I’ve watched others like diesel tech Ron and In the shop, but seeing a guy that works in IT (like me) work on his truck gives me the courage to save some money and knock out stuff like this on my own. Keep up the good work and most importantly the honesty about the projects.

[@betterbeaters]

I appreciate your comment! You just have to be brave enough to start whatever project it is. I have zero experience in anything I've done in any of my videos.. I just research and read directions.. and I've got a reliable Powerstroke and a 1000hp race car out of it =)

[@arlenblock5174]

Nice work man! I’ve been doing some of my own work on my new to me 6.0 as well as my wife’s Wrangler. Never had the confidence before!

[@MrBake88]

I just bought a 6.0 Ambulance for a camper conversion. As Cummins Owner/Fan ,why not a challenge of the 6.0 I find you a hell of a lot more entertaining than the technical guys. Keep these videos coming.

[@johnstaub359]

I Agree!

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Cool vid, Man. Get a FUMOTO oil pan valve and never get your hands oily again!

[@superdave2316]

One of the reasons that I enjoy your videos so much is that we have the same mechanical philosophy. If it ain't broke don't fix it. But if it is broke, I can figure out how to fix it. Changing an injector on the side of the road would just be stupid, since you can drive home on a bad injector. I would recommend a painters platform for working on the motor though. It's an aluminum platform with folding legs, so it folds flat, yet you can reach the whole engine compartment without the risk of it kicking out from under you. It's the perfect height and you don't have to keep moving it. Great job sir!

[@betterbeaters]

I just bought a painters platform for this reason! So glad you're enjoying the content. I wish I had more time to make more videos but Rome wasn't built in a day. Thanks for watching :)

I own a 04 6.0L king ranch and a 08 6.4L king ranch. I am currently building a new stage 2 6.0L with all the goodies

[@betterbeaters]

One of these days my truck will die a painful death and I plan to go Stage 2 as well. Good luck!

On my '03, I started with the Atlas 40hp tune. And a few of the normal updates.... I loved it, actually picked up MPG and loved the power boost. 3 years later, had to replace the FICM, So was talked into stepping up to the 80 HP Tune, It makes the truck even more of a beast. But the MPG did drop a little. (i already had all the normal recommended update improvements for that tune) Unless your doing major hauling all the time. The 40 is IMO the way to go. Great video. Your putting out a enjoyable content.

[@betterbeaters]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. Trying to line up more fun stuff for the channel :)

[@AmericanViking1021]

You made that thing purr! Sounds so fucking good. Can't wait for my project to arrive. 2003 6.0.

[@Lucariorunner]

Thanks for sharing I got a 6.0 and seems like it needs 2 new injectors. Truck has around 92k miles so we'll see if I can get the same success. Lol

[@tbillie1230]

Awesome I’m a 05 6.0 owner just now going on like 220,000 miles now but seems one of my injectors is sticking or going out to and man am I stoked now to fix it as well from an ordinary joe like you I do all work my self on my truck learning from god bless his soul Diesel tech Ron, my truck runs like yours before you worked the magic need get it scanned good video! Where’d u get your injectors?

[@chriswright-ek5jy]

Thanks for your vid’s man 👍. Would you please share from whom did you get your ficm with the atlas tune? Thanks

[@bobestrada1]

I just took off both sides, probably about the same time you released this video. I too am not a mechanic, and was very apprehensive about doing it. I didn't have any codes for injectors, but was having a no start when hot. I replaced all the passenger side injectors and the stand pipes and dummy plugs on both sides. Fixed my issue, bur I think I need to replace my FICM.

[@betterbeaters]

New FICM with Atlas 40 completely changed the truck for me. I actually enjoy driving it now.

[@manuelalvarez7406]

Good job I have a2005 f350 6.0 it broke down like 5 year ago. I took it the shop but they did not find nothing out I had the Ficm rebilt before it broke down and like 2 mouth later the truck star doin the same thing and I just star working on it my self I change the oil change the new Ficm from Alliant energy and have to put a mew starter and goin to drain al the Disel Iam just waiting on for parts I order

[@RVWagginTails]

We carry a torgue wrench all the time.

[@zackzittel7683]

Is it using coolant? I noticed your bottle is empty and if it has white smoke it could be a head gasket/EGR cooler is cracked and leaking. Curious to see more vids on her

[@betterbeaters]

Funny you caught that. I suspect my EGR cooler may be going out. I filled the coolant that day and it's still full. Who knows where it went.

[@johnstaub359]

Great Job Son!

[@frankanderson5596]

Great vid

[@Maurice05]

Why did you go with the Atlas 40? When it looms like they have a few other options. I'm in the process of having all 8 injectors replaced( By a mechanic) on my 2007 F250, plus a few other related items but never thought of changing the FICM.

[@betterbeaters]

My truck is still running factory head bolts. I was worried about pushing it too far with Atlas 80 or really anything more. If (when) I blow a head gasket I may consider changing but the Atlas40 completely changed the truck. I am very happy with it.

[@NickW90]

Good job man. What was the difference with the atlas 40?

[@betterbeaters]

Atlas 40 completely changed the truck. Instant throttle response.. no such thing as a cold start anymore. It just goes. Oh, and it will light up the tires without hesitation :)

[@johnnycortez46]

@@betterbeaters Having the Ficm tune can you still Run your custom tunes from the tuner at the same time??

[@zackzittel7683]

She sounds so much better compared to your first video

[@binkybop9252]

Amsoil is overkill

[@chriswright-ek5jy]

Thanks for your vid’s man 👍. Would you please share from whom did you get your ficm with the atlas tune? Thanks

Thanks for watching! I got my FICM from Circuit Board Medics ---> circuitboardmedics.com/ford-6-0-ficm-repair/
