    I have been looking for this video for years. I am second owner, at 45000, and I now have 481000 miles on my truck. The few things that I have replaced in the truck would be, Water Pump, Alternator, Power Steering Pump and hose and Hydro-boost. It is a 6 speed, and is everything I could ask for. No real miss in the engine, just mileage and thinking about doing a full under cover rebuild. What would be the opinion should I open it, or leave it alone?

      This is the Archoil fuel additive and Oil additive. I absolutely swear by this stuff. Stiction is the issue with 7.3 and 6.0 injectors and the Archoil additive makes MAJOR improvements. I run a bottle in every oil change and a measured amount in my fuel at each fillup.

    Sir, This is by far one of the most informative video's I have seen on UA-cam. Thanks for great content. I have a 7.3 that has an intermittent miss and suspect an injector issue. So the question is whether the Bluetooth device and app would help diagnose which injector is suspect?

    • @ProjectTimeGarage
      @ProjectTimeGarage  3 роки тому +7

      Brad, thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm sincerely glad my content was useful. Regarding the Bluetooth, yes it will absolutely help you track down the suspect injector. The software is called ForScan Lite, it's free and available on the Google Play store. I have a link in the video description to the bluetooth OBDII connector I use. Other than that, you just need an Android device (phone, tablet, etc.)

    Thanks for your videos and responses to these comments. Update that might help some folks. Readers digest version! Truck smokes plumes, Powerstroke specialist says it failed compression test. Bad engine needs replaced $12,000. I seen your video and bought scanner. FORScan says # problem. Pulled injector and had it tested. It was over fueling at idle. Replaced one injector and truck no longer smokes.!!!! So your video and my gut instinct saved me 12 grand. So don’t openly trust mechanic shops. Not all are dishonest but not all are either. Good luck out there people!

    Im just about to wrap mine up. A couple of things that made my life easier. I used some much longer bolts with a nut and washer to replace the rear valve cover bolts. This way i didn't have to be a contortionist to tighten them back down. I also put the wiring harness on first, without the gasket. Then attached the gasket to the harness. This made it much easier especially on the driver's side.

    • @ProjectTimeGarage
      @ProjectTimeGarage  Рік тому

      Breather box just makes it easier to reach everything. As for the injector o-rings, you *may* get by with reusing them, but with time and heat cycles, the rubber/viton will harden and become much less easy to seal. The reason to replace them while you're in there is because it would be awful to get it all back together just to find out one of them isn't sealing.

      It takes a bit of time. Say a minute or so total crank time. Best if you can get a scantool that will read the high pressure oil system. It needs to be around 700psi before the injectors will work.

    I replaced all fuel and jacked her‘s and your video helped tremendously thank you.
    We also replaced the high-pressure fuel pump got all parts from the store that you recommended thank you! We are having a very hard time starting the truck we have oil pressure at start or tempting to start at 400 pounds so we’re thinking that the high-pressure oil pump needs to be replaced? We did hit it with a little quick start I know it’s not recommended but it did fire and start and it ran for a bit and oil pressure went up to 1200 and then fell back down. I’m gonna order the high-pressure oil pump and the IPR valve. I was just wondering if you can give me some input and some advice to get this thing up and running.
    Thank you!

    • @ProjectTimeGarage
      @ProjectTimeGarage  2 роки тому

      Basically, if the icp is telling the IPR to open up and let high pressure oil into the system, then it should start. Typically a good rule of thumb is about 500psi in order to start the truck. If you're unable to build good cranking pressure, then the HPOP can't deliver, or there is an internal leak somewhere in the system (like injector o-rings). Since injectors are new, and you didn't pinch an o-ring putting them in, it's very possible that the HPOP is the culprit.

    Hi. While pulling one injector I got a lot of oil pouring out. I did pull the drain plugs first. Is the best way to evacuate all the oil from that cylinder by pulling glow plug and cranking? Or should I do something else also? I haven’t cranked it at all yet. Thanks for your help.

    Great content , I'm learning a lot. I bought a 6.0 two weeks ago , knowing NOTHING about PowerStrokes. Been driving Cummins for a long time but never worked on them either cause , I never had a break down with one of them. Three days after buying the 2004 6.0 , it wouldn't start. Seems the FICM was bad . Got one coming , hope that does the trick. So , my question is are the 7.3 's and 6.0 similar enough that after watching this , is the same procedure and parts basically the same for the 6.0 ? Thanks for the video !

      The basics are the same, It's a HEUI injection system, so high pressure oil actuated injectors, IPR, ICP, FICM, etc. None of the parts will interchange, and they're in different locations, but they are very similar in the basics. I also have a 6.0
