WHATS THAT NOISE!?!? 6.0 POWERSTOKE FAILURE!

In this video we diagnose a 6.0 powerstroke turbo diesel noise. It makes a stat age noise that sounds like no compression on one cylinder after revving the engine. There is also a noticeable tick and rattle at idle when the truck is warmed up. Take your guesses before I reveal the problem!

Bro where did you learn so much about this motors ?

Great video thanks. What scan tool or scan software do you use?

[@nitrokrunk]

Internationals most GENIUS move. Let’s make the cam come out the back of the motor! I get that these motors were designed for industrial use, but geez what a fumble lol

[@007.3l]

You can do the front 8 lifters in cab, sucks that the branch tube is in the way of the back 8 requiring removal of the engine and rear cover

[@BestEngineOil]

Man your videos keep getting better and better. Excellent diagnosis and education, helping many of us 6.0 Powerstroke owners.

[@joshuabaldic8526]

The one thing I didn't change in my rebuild "the lifters" and it makes me lose sleep just thinking about it

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

As long as you put 6.4 pushrods in, you don’t need to lose sleep!

[@Facethruster]

@@LeftLaneDiesels Is this the understood fix for the lifter failures? Adjusts the pre-load slightly to prevent the lifter failure?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

@@Facethruster that’s the idea, shorter pushrod relives pressure from lifter so it lasts longer. The problem is people take .002-.005+ off the heads when studding their trucks and using the same length pushrods.

[@logancollins928]

@@LeftLaneDiesels my head bolts failed at 225k and I just did everything I could think of but lifters while I was there. Makes me loose sleep even with the updated pushrods. Lol love the content and I'm excited for the daily fix videos now.

[@hotrod6919]

I gotta tip my hat ,I don't think I've ever seen someone have so much enthusiasm and energy tearing into these 6.0s day in day out on multiple personal owned trucks. I've been fighting mine for 3years. it runs fine but I've been dragging my feet pulling motor to refresh/bulletproof/update/upgrade with the several thousands in parts I've been buyn for last 2 yrs, plus the rest of the truck I've gone thru. But I think I'm at the point I'm gonna throw in the towel and give the truck away to my neighbors son once I'm finished.lol

Ive got an 08 E350 6.0 with 127k on it. Only thing ive ever done is a water pump, serp belt when the water pump was replaced and an EGR valve. She runs like a top.

I have an 05 f250, it's been fully bulletproofed just about 2 months ago, I recently started getting a humming sound at around 50miles per hour, if I go past it it dies down, if I go below it the humming dies down. Truck runs great , but Im getting that humming sound.

[@southernhottoddy]

I'm having the same issue with my 6.0 also when I hit the gas, I can see bubbles in the degas unit. I thought maybe its an injector due to getting a misfire in cylinder 8 but after watching your video my heart is broken. Is there an updated video to the work you performed?

[@affordableentertainment3839]

Hi, how can you tell the difference between the roller bears of a lifter to a rocker arm bearings? My engine had a roller bearing found after the truck died. I was able to buy it cheap not running. I want to try and fix it.

[@DropthaBomb1]

Do you have a video on installing the EGR bypass? cannot find any videos on installing that egr delete kit. I have it but not sure exactly if I need to fully need to remove the intake manifold or just flex it up while it's just loosened and unbolted on the left side.

[@iamachildofgodministry9360]

6.0 I had for 6yrs was the worst truck I ever had nothing but troubles from day1

[@petroczinationalrailservic10]

Hey just wondering if that noise is present at all times? I have kinda like a clinking/squeaky belt or pump noise when at idle and operating temperature. Goes away at 1200 rpm. Not sure if it’s a lifter or something in the rocker assembly or a push rod?

[@loren6168]

Why is this so common in the 6.0? How can I keep this from happening to my 6.0. I put 6.4 pushrods in hopes to stop that.

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

One lifter operates 2 valves, so there’s a lot of pressure on the hydraulic lifters. Then people remove .002-.005 off the heads when studding there trucks which adds more stress on the lifters. That’s why it’s super important to go to the 6.4 pushrods. Also anytime a truck is 200k miles or more, I replace the lifters during a stud job.

[@sive1231]

And people chip em and rod em without doing the important upgrades.

[@Stroker69]

Hey. Miles, hours, maintenance?

how..... how did you find a 6.0 for 3 grand?? plz teach me your ways

[@andrewgestautas4655]

Bummer

[@travmit15]

Oh yeah time to take off the no no bolts and do a whole rebuild. I am doing the exact same thing and I was lucky enough to have a worst case scenario. The moron who owned it before me let those magic needles get to the lpop and front cover and even oil relief spring. It's a fun time.

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

That’s the worst! I’m glad I caught it before a complete failure. I’m going to pulling the “no no” bolts out to slide the cam out. Still undecided if I go back with a factory cam or slightly upgraded one.

[@travmit15]

@@LeftLaneDiesels I have been looking at the same. I'm not sure that a cam gains you much. I have heard stock cams are too abusive and aftermarket are better but normally you gain power with a cam swap and all it seems like these ones do is move your peak power up or down the rpm band. Either way though new cams are crazy expensive. So I bought an overheated motor and I'll be swapping all that stuff over.

[@007.3l]

That sucks, throw a stage 2 river city cam in it along with some manton push rods, she'll breathe alot better

[@chartedtravel]

I have 2 6.0s. One 2005 excursion and f350 2006. F350 was done by Bill Hewitt of Powerstrokehelp in GA I have put 100000 mile on it after it was done at 137k. Now 240k and still on original injectors. Using Schaefer oil every 5000. I tow 14k dump tailer every other. day. Truck has not lost in value even $1000. If * had a new one I would have lost 50k in depreciation only. My Excursion was done locally in MN and now 20k miles later it has a coolant leak from under passenger head😭.

Is there an upgraded part number for the lifters? Or is lifter failure just one of those things for our engines...

[@hotrod6919]

just stay away from china. only few lifter manufacture's in the world, these lifters been around since 1976 other then small differences from updates and preload. are used in almost everything till 2014 i think my $100 Elgin lifters were just repackaged Johnson's

[@petroczinationalrailservic10]

I’ve heard the 6.4 push rods help with compression, lifter and rocker failure

[@johnnycortez46]

Quick question. My degas bottle took a dump on my 2006 6.0. New one is on order (OEM) should be here tomorrow. The coolant that is in there looks like a water down red color. Looks very clean. However I don't know what brand the previous owner used. When I drain the degas bottle to change it out which coolant could I use from a local Oreilys or autozone for now? I here mixing different brands could be a problem for the oil cooler. So im trying to avoid any problems.. I would like to go with the Motorcraft gold but my dealer is out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx By the way I just got my shirt in the mail. Awesome quality. 👌

[@sledhead8625]

I’m getting ready to start doing some work to my 6.0. 184k miles all stock. I want to have the truck down on my time not a failure’s time. How often does that occur with the valve train?

[@BS-np8xt]

From what I've heard, not often. Just do your egr cooler (upgrade OR delete) + oil cooler to start, maybe throw in a blue spring upgrade, HPOP STC upgrade and an updated water pump (make sure impeller is metal, NOT plastic), and you've got a truck that should last years. If you want to do a tune to boost horsepower, add ARP studs to avoid your gaskets lifting. Above 500hp, look at improving your transmission (better crank, gears, etc), or it'll blow up eventually with all that extra wear and tear. Ebay is a great resource for finding good 6.0 parts for cheap.

[@muscle949]

Is it easier to pull the cab or pull the motor?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

The engine has to come out either way to replace the cam so I’m pulling the engine instead of the cab. Normally if just studding a truck, pulling the cab is easier.

[@muscle949]

@@LeftLaneDiesels gotcha. Thanks for the info.

[@LukesGarage]

So do you recommend putting the 6.4 push rods in. I’m taking my heads off and studding my truck. I have 123k on the engine and I’m trying to get a list of things to do while I’m in there. Should the push rods be one?

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

Absolutely! 6.4 pushrods are a factory update for the 6.0s. If the truck has around 200k or more miles I would recommend new lifters as well!

[@kxp.1496]

I feel for you bud, this is unrelated but I have a 03 6.0 and when I drive it and I let off the pedal to shift gears the engine revs up a bit then goes down while the clutch is pressed. Any idea what I might be looking at? Thanks and good luck on the lifters

That’s just how the manual trucks are. Try getting off the gas pedal and waiting a second before applying the clutch.
