GREAT Video, 4 years later and I'm seeing this video, I too have a 07 F-350 DRW FX4 I know a lot of people hate this engine, but I guess I have to knock on wood, as I have not had any issues with mine with 150,000 miles. I did volunterily replace the injectors at 150,000.

Thank you!! I’m waiting for my pressure adapter to arrive tomorrow. That is a great video… hoping to get it diagnosed tomorrow. I live in Arizona and my mom is in the hospital and I need to drive to Minnesota and I have a hot no start so I’ve got the new standpipes and dummy plugs but instead of doing both to save me time I’m going to repair only the part that is needed so I can get on the road. When I get back, I’ll do the opposite side. I’m hoping it’s not the passenger side but thank you so much for this info!

Just to verify I loosened the motor mount frame nuts did not remove them on the passenger side and was able to jack up that side of the motor with a port a power to gain more clearance. Worked great able to access valve cover bolts easier on the passenger side also was able to remove and install new stand pipe with ease.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

Thanks for the tip. I should probably just do that on every one of these jobs to make it easier.

What was the torque on that tube and I was told don’t take it over 100 psi when your pressuring up your block but great excellent information. I will definitely be using your tips. Thank you again for your time.👍👍

[@BrandonEsparza-v7b]

I really need some advice fast!! I have a 2005 F350 6.0 and cranks with no start unless starter fluid is used but will run only a few seconds then when I press the throttle it will die… Oil level on dip stick is good. Removed the oil filter to see if the filter compartment filled up with oil when cranking and it did. Tested the IPR and ICP. Both good. Then ran air pressure test through the ICP and no leaks. If the compartment is filling with oil I’m assuming that the relief valve on the lower pump is not causing it. The only thing left would be the HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP….. What do you think???

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

A scan tool that can read data would be the next step. If high pressure oil is building on the scan tool then the problem is somewhere else. Low fuel pressure, bad fuel, bad ficm or ficm relay.

[@calebcaulum9888]

Hello, Thank you for the video!!! I was wondering if this could be an intermittent issue at times? I have an 07 and every few months it will leave me walking as it will turn over but not start. Some times if I put a jump on it it will start right up even tho both batteries are full. It is hard for me to trouble shoot the issue because it is self fixing after an hour or so it will start right up. Very frustrating. Thank you.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

@@calebcaulum9888 This typically isn’t an intermittent issue. Sticking IPR can be, FICM relays, crank sensors can be. Best to bring a scan tool with you and try to diagnose the problem when it happens.

Great job. Whats thd torque for the high oil press rail bolts snd for these standpipes ??

[@jimremington716]

I realize this is an old post but her goes. Got myself into a $h1tfest, Been trying to pull the passenger side stand pipe but it hits on the A/C box would it help if I jack up that side of the motor using a port a power so I can get more clearance to remove stand pipe?

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

Yes it would. I have seen guys heat up the box slightly with a heat gun and gain a little extra room. If the Motor mounts have sagged then the lower pipe is even harder to remove.

[@topstardieseltruckssolutio865]

Great video master, does the standpipe has internal tread that enable it to come out when you insert the bolt, what is the bolt size?

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

The lower portion of the standpipe does not have internal threads. It is a smooth surface but you can get a 10mmx1.25 bolt to slide in tight enough to grab on. I hope this is what you were referring to.

[@rpnorthriver]

Great video Chad! What size bolt do you use for the lower stand assembly removal trick? I am a DYI guy and have worked on cars my whole life and I just went through this on my son's 6.0 after getting hot start issues (changed dummy plugs, stand pipes and IPR valve just to be certain). But, I couldn't get the passenger side lower stand assembly out as it was stuck. Your video is a life saver especially with that stand pipe trick.

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I think it was a 3/8” bolt but it may have been a 10mm. I loaned it to another tech and never got it back so I need to find another one.

[@rpnorthriver]

@@ThePracticalMechanicThank you so much for the quick reply! Send me an email, if you're comfortable with that, and I will gladly mail you a couple once I find the perfect length size in a 10mm or 3/8".

What causes the O ring to blow out

[@Wide_6.7_15]

I have a 2005 6.0 when I parked it last night then turned it on again it had a lot of trouble firing it up then I left it over night then the morning came in wouldn’t turn on at all I thought my battery was dead so I bought 2 new ones put em in then it still wouldn’t start and turns over but wouldn’t start any advice?

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

There are several things that can cause a 6.0 to not start. Check the oil level first because if they get low on oil they won’t start. Most other checks are going to require a scantool or special tools. If a scan tool is available watch the Injection control pressure (ICP) data. They require around 500psi in order to start. If the vehicle will not build high pressure oil it won’t be able to fire the injectors. Another scantool test is watching the FICM voltage. You need battery voltage going into the FICM and more than 45 volt going out. Hope that helps.

[@Wide_6.7_15]

ThePracticalMechanic thx sm it was a ring under the valve cover that leaks pressure

Awesome information on diagnosis of that oil leak ...I have a senero with my 6.0 it has lots of hpop pressure but the ipr is showing 75pct it won't run but it tries to all other readings are within spec any ideas would be much appreciated...keep up the good work..ps would like to see more videos on the 6.0 thks again ..

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I would check ficm voltage. There will be three ficm voltage data pids to look at, two of them should be near 12volts and the other should be around 48 but anything over 45 volts and it should start. If the FICM voltage is good you may want to take the fuel filter lid off and see if you have any fuel in the housing. It won’t be completely full since the filter displaces much of the fuel. Depending on what scan tool your using I would try a buzz test. This will perform an electrical test on the injectors and you can listen to the injector actuation. It will firing all of them in quick succession and then fire them one at a time 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 if you are lacking a click from specific Injectors I would check the harness for the FICM. The clips break and the connector will rattle loose.

I have the exact same air leak on passenger side I took out standpipe which was updated less then 4000 miles ago and I have same o ring just like urs did that fix no start u did not do follow up video u can watch my video I posted a few days ago showing it all

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

It hasn’t had a problem since I did the repairs. I do this job about once every three months and none have come back with repeat failure. What brand pipes did you install? I have only installed the factory Ford updates pipes. It’s possible that the O-ring got a small nick or tear while installing on that back corner. Once a small leak developed the high pressure oil destroys the rest of the O-ring. There is also a very small chance that the branch tube under the head is damaged causing the oring to not seal properly. You have to pull half the motor apart to fix that so hopefully that’s not the issue.

[@Jericho_bella]

ThePracticalMechanic I think my leak is one or more of the injectors top seals I still have air after new stand pipe I also only buy oem motor craft still air coming out of passenger side so I am gonna do every seal on the 4 injectors and hope it fixes leak if it still leaks I’m lost mine is 2007

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

Sean B I have one sitting in my lot for the last two weeks that needs the injector nipples resealed. Hopefully I will get the authorization soon. I thought for sure it was going to be the standpipe but when I got the valve cover off the stand pipes were fine.

[@Jericho_bella]

ThePracticalMechanic my stand pipe was bad but still a lot of air coming out did u check out my video

How much did that run $$$ for

[@jimremington716]

I don't blame Ford for stupid individuals messing with this product Dog knows it has enough problems of its own with out help from others making it look worse than it is. Ran into several problems with a 2006 Ford 6.0 diesel What started with a possible bad EGR cooler (found out it had been replaced with a bulletproof one) still need to pressure test to see if it leaks internally, just figured out that previous individual that owned it replaced the oil filter with a standard element and filter cap is an aftermarket tall one. So the fun continues...

[@felixautotech9053]

Why after did you install the new part you didn't stated the engine

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I still needed to replace the other side stand pipe and plug as a preventative measure. I didn't want to take the leak test equipment off until all repairs were completed because a final leak test is performed before the engine goes back together.
