I absolutely love the information my husband provides!!!! I learn everyday from the whole Power Stroke Specialty Team! Love talking to all yall and look forward to some new customers and come on and call me on the Bigg Dogg Bucks! I have 8 left! That's it only 8 to make your truck run another half million miles!!!! I'm waiting on yall

[@georgelandrum1257]

Hi Ty, I emailed to bill yesterday. 2004/80k miles, preventative action for this year.

[@tyhewitt4858]

[@robertdivany1627]

Hi miss Hewitt. I have try to called the shop several times but no answer. Is there a Reason why . I guess the shop only conduct business via Emails

[@leonardjohnson8786]

Hi Ty. I emailed Bill about the Bigg Dogg bucks. I hope I made the cut off. Looking forward to Dealerproof my truck.

[@tyhewitt4858]

We actually operate via land line phone and emails. If we don't answer its bc we have customers in front of us or we are already on the phone with a customer. It's just Scott and I answering phone

[@redleg985]

These guys are great! They lifetime dealerproofed my 06 f250 back in May of 2019. Worth every penny.

POWER STROKE HELP IS THE BEST. HAD MY 2006 F250 AMARILLO EDITION 6.0 with 64000 Miles DONE BY THEM. OUTSTANDING JOB.. Thanks guys. 😊

[@Itsa_Mea]

The upper spring mount rusting out can happen on any of the trucks with A/C. It's from the condensation drip tube and dryer dripping water on it constantly. That's why the drivers side can appear mint.

[@tyhewitt4858]

Did you SEE the DRIVERS SIDE? I'd love to email you pics.... come on and email me I AM [e-mail]

[@Itsa_Mea]

@@tyhewitt4858 The two glimpses you get in the footage it didn't look as bad as the passenger side but I edited my comment based on my experience and living in the NE. My 05 & 06 DRW (180k+ miles ea.) and customers 06 & 07 SRW 90k & 130k miles) all had perfectly fine drivers side spring buckets but all had some rust (not as bad as yours) from the AC drips on the passenger side. None of these trucks were plow trucks. Plow trucks are rust buckets around here. But I'll send you an email anyways and take a look.

[@carltrano1325]

Keep up all your great work Gentlemen👍

[@coderedfit]

My 2006 F350 is from Michigan and just passed 195,000. I'm having the coil spring buckets replaced next week. The passenger side is roached almost like the one you showed here. Now I can stay up all night thinking about my camshaft. If I'm ever in Georgia I want to stop by and say hi. Thanks for all the info, it's been a huge help.

[@cjcox1480]

Wish I had a mechanic like you for my 04 Lightning, been working on a supercar GT 4v Swap. Big 4L twin screw blower can’t find anyone to finish it. Making me wish I had a Powerstroke! But it’s been cool to learn since I haven’t had any other options. Thank you for all the inspiration to work on these Ford trucks!!

[@timothyhaight9728]

having coffee with my girlfriend now, almost did a spit take. thanks for this video bill! I gotta take a look at those spring mounts before I send the truck! whooweee that is bad news.

Can't wait for part two

[@Nostradamus_Order33]

Thanks for the info Bill. Makes me glad that I have a 7.3 PSD that runs like a clock.

[@EM-fi2qg]

Same here. But at 430,000 she's making me nervous. Everyday I worry about those noises.

[@derrickporter679]

I have an 02 7.3 PSD with 529,000 miles on it with all original motor parts. Including original factory injectors and glow plugs!! Still runs like a top. Just chasing an oil leak up top somewhere!

[@bch5513]

Derrick Porter won’t be the last, but bout time and it’ll keep on running... what all have you replaced? Phone WiFi fiber optic cameras are nice to find stuff too

[@krismorey]

@@derrickporter679 turbo pedestal o-rings, EBPV assembly, sometimes the turbo compressor bolts come loose. Normal wetting could be from boost pressure leaking and oil weeping out boots and such. Obviously the valve "gaskets" too. The turbo area is definitely something to look at since it's very hard to see back there.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

Lifter failure took down my 05 6.0 at 188k miles.. Sold the beautiful lariat fx4 4 door for 10k bucks... If I only knew of you guys back in 2012 I would have had my truck fixed.. Sadly there was no one around I could trust to fix it, so I sold it to a local farmer and took the cash and put it down on a new truck..

[@hotrod6919]

Reminds of a truck I looked at years ago for sale years ago owner said ''Now that's a stroooong sounding heartbeat!''

[@Nostradamus_Order33]

🤣

[@jimkillen1065]

I believe that the roller lifters are a maintenance item. In my option change them at some point or wait and see what happens. I always enjoy watching these videos . They helped me fix my friends truck . As far as the push rod length interesting. .. I like premium lifters and change them.out at some point before they fail.

[@MoparMadness93]

Do you have an idea what it takes to change the lifters in that engine. You have to pull the engine so you can remove the rear timing cover, just so you can remove the branch tube that prevents the rear lifters from coming out after you remove the high pressure oil pump. Then after you pull the heads can you remove the rear 4 lifters. The front 4 come right out after you remove the heads

[@StoneysWorkshop]

Damn Bill, takes a man to put his name on his work!

[@mattvanatti9531]

I've got an o1 7.tree 400k all original...worked everyday of its life...purrs like a kitten

Those 6.0s and 6.4 s were junk from day one, fixing one is like trying to turn chicken shit into chicken salad.

[@johnwickouski112]

I've got a January of 2003 f 450 with the 6.0 with a little more than 310000 it came from the Tennessee valley authority I've had it since 2011 I've done the injectors and high pressure oil pump and a few other things but the most important thing that has been done Is service work every 5000 miles oil and filter and fuel filter I do think the head gaskets are starting to show signs of age . service is the key to these trucks lasting

[@davidraddatz380]

I was told by a international tech to run 10w30 diesel oil in my 6.0. They did that in the buses they serviced and they had a reduction in cam and lifter failures.

[@maxlown363]

I had that thumping noise in my 7.3. It was a broken pushrod

Yup pretty normal old saying goes up north in salt belt it where vehicles go to die aka junkyard if drive every winter

[@Mtothec23]

Bro im at 372xxx on my 04 and said the same thing last year 🤣🤣😂😂

[@StephenBrewer89]

I’m at 260k on mine. Engine has been out before. I can tell by the lift hooks. No clue when or why. Runs amazing. Got me nervous tho. Do a “where’s that oil leak” cause I have a few and I can’t tell exactly from where. I know I have valve cover seeping, and looks like a glow plug harness leak, possibly bedplate. Would be nice to see how y’all can just look at them based on where the oil is at and determine a leak position.

[@coderedfit]

Same here. Mine has 195,00 and same kind of leaks you just described. I have some oil in the valley but it looks fairly dry. Def have a d/s valve cover leak and hopefully just a glow plug harness leak. Bottom and sides of engine are covered in oil but it hardly ever drips when I'm parked.

[@chadthedrywaller6859]

there is a very steep exhaust ramp on the oem grind camshaft. and a lifter that wasnt designed for 4 valve pr. cyl. operation.. the 6.4 liter push rod helps but imo the cam and lifters should be replaced on any higher mile motor.

[@justsittinhere72]

It's all the road salt up here in the northeast that eats steel like candy. It's so hard to pressure wash it all out. You really need a lift to get to all those inaccessible areas. I have an '06 E-350 6.0l. Thankfully there's no rust at all and I hope to keep it that way. I also have an '06 Chrysler Town and Country with 244,000 miles that is a total rust bucket but runs great. Go figure.

[@Itsa_Mea]

That upper spring mount can rust out on any of the trucks with A/C and you won't even know it. East coast salt has nothing to do with it. The condensation is constantly dripping on it from the HVAC box.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

Hey, gotta question for you. My EGR Cooler failed at 81,000 miles, so i pulled Cab did ARP Head Studs and had heads re-surfaced, and had grooves cut for O-Rings, Delete the EGR System, at same time also installed the 6.4 RCD Chromemoly Push Rods, also did Regulated Fuel Return, Airdog ll-4g Lift Pump, along with a KC Stage 2 Turbo, Warren 175/30 injectors, Odawgs s3r Ported Intake Manifold, and also Exhaust and Air Intake Systems. So far I've put about 8,000 miles on everything, and everything A O.K. Also bought Truck Brand New always changed Oil and Filter every 4,000 Miles like Clockwork. Since I've taken so good care of Engine since new and I'm only at 89,000 miles, Should i be worried about Lifter Failure ? Like i said the Shorter 6.4 Push Rods went in at 81,000 miles when the Heads were off. Thanks for your help. Truck is a 2006 Model year.

hey sometimes it really is just driving along in my first 6.4 (yeah ik done laughing) i was cruising abot 65 thought i heard a knocking noise but its faint when driving truck didn't have any cogging like a 6.0 with a dead injector or cylinder but when i came to a stop sign it was bad but still running kinda ok but i checked blow by well about as much as a cracked piston i figured its already f'd might as well get to where i was going had it towed back to the shop turned out the and injector partially held open and melted a piston no i was not towing but it was running h&s tuning of course but it freed itself up to work no heavy white fuel smoke or anything these things seem to have mind of their own sometimes

9:50 Sounds like what an oncologist says when the patient isn't listening. "Yeah we know he's screwed, but we can always hope, right?" Of course, like everything else with cars, start your Saturday morning just looking to fix a "small noise", and wrap up the evening with the engine out on the stand to fix something much more cataclysmic.

Well my 06' has 284k on it, hope it's not on borrowed time as you say 🤣🤣😳

Yep I dealt with the same thumping. Turned out to be broken off glow plug tip that bent valves and got stuck in the piston. We replaced the engine.

Ok so now you've got me worried. I've got an 04 6.0 with 251k miles I just deleted it and also did an upgraded oil cooler, brand new turbo, I'm in it already enough with expenses. How much will you guys charge to do this as well as stud it? I know you have to pull the heads anyway so there's the new gaskets.

[@johnnahory4595]

Also not getting any oil pressure after doing the delete and cooler upgrade. Think it may just be because I'm low on oil? But if I were low on oil wouldn't that cause a no start because if the HPOP.

[@salmonaco007]

So a stock high mileage 6.0 that never had heads pulled should be fine

[@lizard2006]

All I see when I watch these videos is someone bad mouthing his customers. These trucks with a good top end are stout, the pioneers like Warren, and Keeter have proven that. With a cam failure like this the customer could of very well been driving down the road minding his own business. Also just because the date on the battery is from a certain year doesn't mean they are bad. The harness looks rough, but is there any lights or codes stored the module? Replacing a entire harness is a little excessive. I might make it as a suggestion since it seems like the customer is proud of his truck. An while you was picking apart the head studs you should mention it could of been someone very skilled and qualified.

[@Garth2011]

Might be time to obtain a dedicated video camera for future video reviews. This one is not interested in focusing very well. Good to know about those mechanical problems but in the end, they are all likely better off rebuilding the engine complete with the updates and be done with any futures issues. No wonder Gale Banks no longer puts his focus on Powerstroke moving to Duramax.
