Rev-x case study on a 2003 6.0 Ford Powerstroke. Stiction

I had a buddies truck that was so bad he even used his block heater to start it in the summer. I told him that if he left it with me to make a video that I would buy some rev-x and do a case study. Here are my results. Te product has a good reputation for helping with stiction. It does nothing for wear or damage.

Man do I miss Ron. 😔 He helped sooooo many people when he was alive, and is still doing it. I really wanted to meet him before he passed away. Really a smart guy and a blessing to all powerstroke owners!

[@patricknavarro2013]

Another great video, I've watched every video of yours. It's crazy knowing you're gone, gone but not forgotten. Thanks for all your videos, I learned so much from them! Rip DieselTechRon

I just want to thank you for keeping Ron's videos up. I am very sorry to hear about his passing. my 6.0 seems to have a skip during idle and at crewsing speed high gear once warm. does great when cold and while excel. scangauge numbers are where they should be. getting codes for fuel contributions for 1 and 5. skip can cause violent vibration until I let up off the excellerator. I'm stuck till I can get a metric adapter to test dynamic fuel pressure. did change oil/filter. fuel filters upper and lower. lower was at about 80% used up. upper looked good. hifm seems to have a sappy film in the bottom. put atf 8n fuel lats fill up to clean fuel system. not as bad now, but I still have a skip.

10 years later and still helping people. RIP dieseltechron.

[@DieselTechRon]

The ratchets are the same size. I use 8 and 10mm most of the time so I like the 1/4. I buy them off a tool truck but they cost more. I have six and bought more than that for people off ebay. Cpo outlets is a seller with good prices.

[@DieselTechRon]

The software is Fords ids system. It is windows based and I have issues with windows 8 and tablets. That's why my videos always show different computers. I'm trying to find a reasonable one with a full size USB port that works good. The surface pro did good except entering vins on programming. I can't say aliexpress.com so do some research or buy from Ford.

[@neiomyrie3419]

Thanks

[@jakelarkin8879]

You know it’s bad when your 6.0 sounds like a 7.3 lol

[@ChapsUnlimited]

Awesome vid brother! Nice to have guys like you share some info!

[@DieselTechRon]

never tried it but I see another video coming.

[@greghummer607]

I miss this man !

[@johndevoe3327]

Rev x worked in my 6 liter. $40 a bottle in Canada. I recommend using two bottles first time and one every oil change after.

[@davemcginnis5576]

Hope these videos still up I use them a lot when working on my 2005 Ford 6.0

[@erinrobson9701]

Ron, so appreciate the tips, videos, and efforts you make to help us all! You should be sponsored by these guys and milwaukee (ratchet). Take care. Joe

[@Rylie307]

Hey Ron What kind of diagnostic system is that? I see it is some kind of windows tablet, what program is this and where could I get the same set-up?

[@jeremyhurst6084]

Can you do a test like this with archoil9100?

[@handihouseofoakgrove]

thanks for the socket plug, I have all 7.3s and hate the fuel filter cap

[@merrellligons]

Ron excellent video, very helpful. What software are you using there?

[@DieselTechRon]

I guess my concern would be feedback. I've seen better results with rev-x than hot-shot. So I guess I need to get on forums and read and use this on some trucks this winter and test it.

[@22howards]

I will try and locate the article and post a link. Archoil is as good or better. Again we are dealing with opinions here so I would suggest trying it for yourself.

[@skiboyscuba]

Funny I just found out about this product today and decided to use it. Looks like a good call

[@BullittOutdoors]

I wanted to also add. Have you considered polishing the spool valves as a cure for stiction?

[@robbyvanz]

Ron, why do you prefer the 1/4" vs 3/8" M12 ratchet? I can only find the 3/8 locally. Is it shorter?

[@bgraiders323]

Hey Ron, ever tried ARCHOIL 9000?? Works pretty damn good as well and cheaper

[@alanizleal]

Where do you buy that stuff

[@oblrjr]

Do you have to do an oil change first to use this or can I add it when I had an oil change 1500 miles ago? I just found out about these products and sounds like identical problems you had with this truck.

[@tedhicks5431]

Now do always add rev x to fuel filter area or fuel tank

[@crgregful]

Hey Ron, could you do a solenoid body removal on the 5r? I need to replace the line pressure control solenoid. Sorry to derail video thread. Thanks

[@luismviera7982]

what software is that to check the parameters and how much does it cost per year? thanks.

[@edwardvillafranco368]

no injector clattering when tuned on

[@ArgoConstruction]

I have a 05 f250 that is white smoking at idle and take off. Truck on has 110,000 miles. Has egr delete no loss in coolant. Could this be caused from stiction?

[@77dewboomer]

Will the rev x be ok with new injectors?

[@yo6488]

Would a bad injector cause power loss until I get to 3000 Rpm?

[@waynewilliams1922]

[@meadowskaty6]

Is the enhance mode only available to dealers as my IDS doesn't let me do that, and the worse part I'm paying 700 every year for the license.

[@dynocompe]

no my buddies ids has it, he just is a work out of his truck mechanic on his own

[@elenasinyanskiy9200]

Hi there, I have 2005 Ford Excursion 6.0 Diesl ( almost 400.000 km), everything original except EGR blocked. Problem: misfire. My actions: replaced oil and added sticktion modifier Arch oil, fuel pressure 50 psi,. But still misfire and didn't react when apply to gas pedal and stalling ( even with good fuel pressure). Please help me to identify the problem. Regards, Evgeny

[@ldtexas1648]

Ron passed away. May he RIP.

[@yo6488]

just bought some of this stuff

[@ArthurVrancken]

I was wondering if anyone knows the diagnostic software DTR is using in these videos? I'd love to get this so I can do better diagnostics on my truck.

[@turbomaxx8914]

Should Try Turbo Maxx works much faster cheaper and change oil twice as long.

[@bryanmartinez6600]

Turbo Maxx I wouldn't go twice as long as this Engine lives on the oil

[@larry2140]

is this a add every oil change kinda product?

[@bryanmartinez6600]

larry yep usually they all are
