6.0 Power Stroke not Fixed - More Leaks + No Start

This 2005 Ford F350 with a 6.0 Powerstroke refuses to stay fixed. It's still leaking and now it cranks but will not start.

I've been with you for several years now and have always enjoyed your videos Wes.Recently, I got pushed out of my svc. manager position of 20 years at the local Ford dealer here in small town Texas. Big corporate company bought em out. Anyway, turns out it was a good thing. I've opened my own shop. I see you use AE Tools and computers. I got a VCM3 and IDS/FDRS with the subscription from Ford through them. Good people, although Cody sure did push to get me to buy a $3800.00 laptop of theirs! (didn't buy it) They have a great tech assist team there. Anyway, ironically, as I was watching your video I got a text from a good customer/friend that had his 2004 6.0 F250 being towed in for a no start after hot soak. I'm pretty sure he's got a high pressure oil leak... Keep up your weekly videos Wes, you have a fan base that would be seriously disappointed if you didn't!! CHEERS

I remember when I quit doing your kind of work in the mid-80's. One of the reasons I quit was lack of access for maintenance or repair, and the frustration that went with it. Apparently, I had a cake walk compared to what you have to do. From all appearances, no manufacturer gives one iota of thought to how it will be repaired in the future. If you have to pull the engine to change the oil, f*** it. Continue on. Some of it is past being absurd. Your a better man than I am, Wes.

[@dansevern3291]

Everytime I see you with a cascade of powdered rust falling on your head, I walk out in the shop and pat my old 1995 Chevy on the hood. It's spent the last 12 years sitting in a pasture most of the time, and although another injection pump has bitten the dust (95 6.5 liter TD, yup, not unexpected), there's pretty much zero rust on it. I may get west Texas dust in my eyes when I work on it, but it's not slowly dissolving! Thanks for the video.

[@Adrenacyde]

When you change/drop the oil on a 6.0L, do the filter FIRST. There is a check valve that is held closed while the filter element is in place, thus holding oil. Once you remove the filter element, the oil (old/used oil) in that housing can then drain down into the pan.

I know this repair was tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough! (the right number of 'tough's from Shattered by the Stones?) but you did an elegant job getting it thoroughly sorted out. A note on those weatherpak-tyle connectors. With square pins and square receptacles (and this one in your video WAS already garfed up) you can enounter a scenario where the square pin resides INSIDE the metal receptacle BUT DOES NOT EVEN TOUCH THE SIDES! I experienced this on a Jeep Wrangler with a one pin weather pak from the temp sender to the gauge... You'd ohm out both sides even in series with the temp sender resistance to account for it.....but nnnnoooo! It would be intermittent. Once I squoze the receptacle down a wee bit (I had to remove it from the housing, squeeze it down, and re-insert into the housing) Poof! It worked perfectly. So you getting both sides brand spanking new was really the best decision. Regarding the oil pan, all's I can say is that has the same effed up complexity of 60s British bikes, I assure you! But you did well, gave it loving attention to detail, and the discussion regarding manufacturing those aluminum pigs was very enlightening. It was a great video, once again Wes! Cheers from up in the Driftless.

[@moushunter]

I drove a 6.0 for 11 years. The 2 things that always gave me difficulty keeping it running and preventing it starting were the High Pressure Oil Switch and the EGR valve. The EGR valves on those fail open a lot. I work for a company that had a dozen ambulances with the 6.0 and they were always dying on the road from the EGR failing open. The High Pressure Oil switch was on the passenger side valve cover from 2005 and up. It is behind the turbo 2004 and earlier. The switch itself was fine. For 5 years I dealt with the engine running rough periodically and also not starting. The dealer failed multiple times to figure it out. I found the spade plug connecting to the high pressure oil switch was put on the side of the lug rather than on the lug. As it aged the heat loosened the insulator around the plug which allowed it to wiggle around lose connection or have a poor connection. The failed EGR valve is easy to diagnose. The exhaust will billow dark grey smoke until the EGR finally closes. I believe it is an electrical issue with those more than a mechanical issue. I tried a Ford replacement EGR and 2 aftermarket replacements then I simply unplugged it. I also found half of the fuses in my fuse panel were put aside of the lugs rather than in them. A tip, 2004 and earlier engines made for the northern half of the country came with a block heater and Ford hid the cable behind the front bumper. 2005 and up had the block heater but no cable. I got a brand new Ford part cable for $12 plus shipping on Ebay and put it in myself. The dealer wanted $125 for the cable and $100 to put it in.

I am a New England Carpenter/GC and I work outside all year long, the best, most comfy, and durable work shoes, walking around shoes, and running shoes I have ever found are Skechers. They outlast every other shoe I have ever tried, and I've tried just about every work boot/shoe there is, Timberland, Red Wings, Herman Survivors, Chippewa, you name it I've tried them, Carolina Boots seem to last the longest, but none of them outlast the Skechers, or are remotely as comfortable. I get 2-3 years out of a pair, and I wear them every day for work, demo, framing, you name it we do it. My walking around pair lasts 3-4 years. usually between $65-85 depending on sales. Best longest lasting shoes I have ever found. Try a pair, you will thank me later!!

I like altra running shoes. I replace them after 350 miles of road running and have never had them fall apart before that.

Big fan of the ON running shoes. Been through countless pairs over the years and have been my favorite by far.

Wes. I just can’t imagine you running. Well, for anything other than seconds.😂😂 You’re a wealth of information!

Ended up channeling my inner Wes today. Have an Allis Chalmers 175 that came into the shop with a complaint that it jumps out of high gear going down the road. After tearing it apart and making my shop as you say "Look like a Bangladesh ship breaking yard." found ALL the gears on the main shaft were actually shot. Also he wondered if I would replace the axle seals while I was there. Parts are ordered for the transmission. Have the axle seals already so thought I'd get that done. Definitely has had water in there at some point. All the bearings are shot, so have to call the customer and tell him he needs another $300 in parts plus the labor to re-shim the bearings. Good grief! These armchair mechanics on here that comment on the things you aren't doing right need to go and just keep watching their hero Scotty Kilmer!

When it comes to 6.0's starting/idling/surging issues, the ICP, IPR, and EBP sensors are all a good start. Replacing the pig tails at the same time is always a good idea. Another topic that doesn't get talked about enough is the oem fuel pumps are kind of garbage. They like to die out under load (dynamic pressure) even fresh from the factory for some. Some how these are problems that many suffer from and aren't getting codes related to them. Obviously their high pressure oil system has issues as well but feel like they often are a result of other issues or bad quality replacement parts.
