I know 6.7’s are your bread and butter, but the 6.0 content is fun to watch. Especially your running dialog as you work the challenges out.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thanks pal

[@Jewalston]

I ordered a 2003 F-550 Crew Chassis with that 6.0L, 6 speed manual, 4.88 rear. Being a first year run on that model, it spent more time at Bayou City Ford in Houston in the first 6 months, than I had possession of it. It was popping injectors left and right. After about the 5th injector trip, Ford authorized an entire new set of new revised injectors, and I never had another issue with that truck and sold it at a little over 200 thousand miles. The truck had a 12ft flat bed on it and weighed about 10,500lbs and I pulled a 40ft gooseneck that weighed a little over 11,300lbs hotshot. It was a load hauling beast. I regularly hauled 20,000lb loads on the deck, and it cranked it down the highway like nothing.

[@tdotw77]

It is a real strong motor & usually problem free when not being hot-rodded. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️

I had soot raining down on the windshield at every stop sign on Beck Road. I had to laugh at the other drivers following me because there was so much smoke they couldn't see very well and they kept dropping back 5, 6, 8 car lengths behind me on the way😅. Great video. Thanks for fixing the Ex. Best wishes to you. 😊

Another near first year 6.0 experience, purchased new 2004 f350 cc lb 4wd. Multiple trips to dealer, mainly cleaning turbo and egr valve. Sold @ 58k in 2009 and then 2011 back into an 06 same model config and 6.0. Had 1 bad injector, and used regularly gray DK and discovered Archoil9100 with T5 10w30. Bought used at 129k and sold 206k. Maintenance and OEM filters are key, with archoil9100😊...tks Arod

[@ts6141]

I have an 04 F350 6L and I've had my run of mechanics who don't know sh!t but thankfully found one locally who is good. I replaced all my injectors, my ICP, EBP, IPR, oil cooler twice (first place put in a jank unit) but thankfully now it's running good. I do a lot of work myself but it doesn't fit in my garage so I'm limited by the HOMAFIA haha!! She has been running like a champ for a while now since finding the local good mechanic.

Hey good morning my friend

[@nysucks4508]

Another fine fix Nice truck

[@JoshHefnerX]

Aaron, a couple of questions: at 200k miles since you're already that far into it, would it have been prudent to replace the other 3 injectors or is their lifespan usually longer? Do you boost leak test when you pull a charge pipe loose normally?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Could have, customers choice. No not usually I do not...

[@zekester1]

Heck yeah!!!😉 I had a bad injector(brand new) on my 06 6.0 & it took foreverrrrrrrr to burn all that fuel that was in the cat🤦....👍💪💯

[@coupe347notch]

[@desotosky1372]

Does the injector controller need programmed to the individual injector spray characteristic or did I miss that part? I kinda remember the "guy" in the Southern shop programming that information on his Silverado injector replacement. Thanks for the video.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Good question, that is ONLY for common rail HP fuel systems. This is old timer high pressure oil. Rip em out and slam then in, done.

[@timsmothers8740]

That was the injector that went bad on my 05 6.0l, and my Arizona ARod did all 4 of them whilst he was in there a wrenching. And do You Sir get headaches from all of that Tech knowledge and secrets jammed Into your Cranial Vault ? The last person in that Stroke was a BB in a box car type brain in comparison Brother.

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod, still the most reliable though.

[@bobcatman334]

6.0 is very reliable if you just do some basic things to it. Plus the ability to tune and have a solid tow rig is night and day over the 7.3. Id rather a 5.9 all day over a 7.3

[@JLCmike4014]

@@bobcatman334, i agree with the 6.0L being reliable once you fix all its shortcomings. Plus if it does blow head gaskets or what have you it is still rebuildable unlike the modern junk that’s just a throwaway engine.

[@tdotw77]

Man I thought that thing was rod knocking when you first started it!🤦🏻‍♂️ I've always loved these Excursions, especially the super nice Limited Edition & Eddie Bauer ones. I've always wanted one and hopefully I'll be able to get one someday with a 7.3 or a 6.0. A nice black Limited edition one would be sweet. I like black colored vehicles the most, although theres a few other colors out there that i wouldn't mind having either. Someday....👍🏻👌🏻😄🛠️🔧🔩⚠️🦺🚧🏗️💨💰
