18:47 the headlight is the single most important tool in my opinion. being able to clearly see everything that you are doing is just as important as "feel--no gloves for some things" and just as important as the right socket or wrench..... being able to have both hands free via having the headlight on your head always pointing where you are looking is worth its weight in gold. Thank goodness for LED technology to give us hours and hours of very bright light on just 3 AAA batteries. Great video!!! You'll are amazing. I have 4 Olds Diesel cars and love diesel and going to get a 6.0 PS to go haul more Olds diesel cars back home to Arkansas from up north, where they all live---Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, etc.

I have a 2010 E350 6.0 with 400,000 miles. It has never been touched. I have always used everything Ford. But i recently installed a Mishimoto thermostat (200 degree) & I am very impressed. A MUCH more accurate thermostat & actually brought my delta down 1-2 degrees. I have always monitored everything. I doesn't use any oil & the cooling system is perfectly clean. (Rotella T6 & Ford Gold) I have been using the Archoil products since they have become so popular. No coolant filter.

My 2005 F250 Harley blew out 6 weeks ago. I've bought all new ford/motorcraft parts to make the repair. and plan on starting this weekend. If it works I owe you some cash. If there is any internal damage (I towed it as soon as I notice it steaming) I will be sending it to you. Thank you for your videos.

I need you to upgrade my truck with all the items you mention in these videos. I have about 272k miles now on my 2003 6.0. I like the new trucks, but mine is paid off which is a wonderful feeling. I'll get with you when I have the money. Thanks for all your effort!

I enjoy your videos,and your shop clearly does excellent work. In watching all 7 of these videos I have 2 issues as a wrench myself for over 35 years,and both are in this video...I would be very concerned about the use of the wire wheel when cleaning the aluminum thermostat housing and when using the wire wheel with the oil cooler reservoir open,at about 620 .If I was to use the wire wheel I would use on an electric drill on high but personally I wouldn't use it.I feel it's not worth the risk of a piece of wire coming off and going down into the oil cooler reservoir where it can do a lot of damage,same thing with the cooling system you don't want to piece of wire inside the engine floating around the cooling system.when I was young probably about 15 I was helping my dad put head gaskets on the 292 Ford V8,I will never forget that we used a wire wheel to clean the block surface,and even though we blew out everything with compressed air somehow a piece of the wire got stuck between a piston and the bore on one of the cylinders,it took out a chunk of the cylinder and destroyed the piston needless to say that was an expensive lesson on the use of wire wheels and wire brushes around precision components. I do not use wire brushes or wire wheels unless the part is off the vehicle, or there is a way to see and clean every single area around it to ensure pieces of wire do not get where they don't belong. It's nice to see someone doing top-quality work on these engines there are so many mechanics that cut corners or really have no business working on any truck ,let alone on these trucks.

Dielectric grease is just silicon grease (as opposed to petroleum based). It doesn't conduct electricity well which makes it a good choice for avoiding corrosion between parts - like stainless steel fasteners in aluminum. It doesn't dissolve in water, oil or other common solvents (MEK will disolve it). It's chemically inert so it's used a lot for sealing laboratory glassware. It's great for lubing rubber o-rings. Don't use it on silicon o-rings (use petroleum jelly). Petroleum jelly will cause rubber o-rings to deteriorate. Silicone grease causes silicon o-rings deteriorate. Easy to remember - don't put likes together. And of course, always choose silicone based lube over petroleum jelly for latex rubber condoms. Thanks for this video series.

When your tech was coating the thermostat with grease, he was using a 2" paintbrush. Maybe it was just handy at the time, but maybe he would benefit from using those little acid brushes like what we used in the navy. I bet a lot of people that weren't in don't know what those acid brushes are.

where is the torque wrench for anything?
@VileMisanthropy7 жыл бұрын
On the 2003 6.0 do you still install the cooler to the intake before installing to the motor? The reason I ask is because of the rear intake branch covering the egr cooler exhaust side clamp.

I don't get it. You said be sure to get those intake bolts started by hand first and then use the impact gun. He clearly wasn't doing that, even right in front of you. Also, shouldn't you torque those bolts to a certain value?
@VileMisanthropy7 жыл бұрын
Every mechanic is different in their method, many experienced technicians can torque close enough by feel, it's all in the twist of the wrist. Start by hand, run them in with the impact then torque.
