Just use some duct tape and super glue...it will never blow off 🤣. J/K....don’t do that! Great video, and glad you called out the trolls out there spreading bad advice!
So it blows when you let off the throttle? Have you tried replacing boots and new clamps. Checking torque spec on thr clamps to make sure they are tightened how they should be? Does it blow off the pipe or off the intercooler? I'm happy to help just wanna make sure I have the right information first.
i have the sinister diesel intake piping. would these be a good upgrade for their boots? i did start to have the cold side blow off on me after 6 months. i believe it could of been operator error though. but learned that being stranded with boot problems is no fun!
Hey I just put a powermax turbo on my 04 f250 and it sounds like its making my dash vibrate and sounds unhealthy also installed wicked wheel 2 on turbo before putting it in the truck thanks in advanced if you respond
@six0bros I have a 4 inch exhaust it was on the truck when I bought it it has catalytic converter and a muffler it's making my whole truck vibrate mildly
@user-sn9yw4sf6v I would check the exhaust pipe it is likely rubbing by a pinch weld at the bottom of the firewall or there is a stud that comes out of your firewall that points towards your turbo it can rub on
Best way I found is to honestly take it off and grind it down or cut it. If you can fit something back like a Dremal you may be able to get it off without taking it all apart
How tight did you go with the clamps? Love the RiffRaff boots/clamps but my cold pipe to intake elbow popped off a couple times lol glad it wasn’t the turbo boot
Ok, dropping this here in case I am misunderstanding something. Have a 6.0 have a few issues lately. Here they are: 1. Noticed erratic idle at stoplights. Low power, and coughing/stumbling from engine going uphill. Talked to mechanic, said likely injector going out. Read CPU and low contribution on a cylinder...replaced driver side bank. 2. Couple of days later with same issue, suspected fuel sending unit, as ecu was in power save mode. Float on sending unit broke, pegging fuel to 0. Telling engine to save fuel. 3. Day or so later, same problem coughing g stumbling going up hill. Replaced passenger side bank. MUCH MUCH BETTER engine performance. Like almost livable, but when the coughing and low power cone back it is still bad to drive on interstate. 4. HOWEVER, stumbling and erratic idle come and go Intermittently. Unable to replicate scenarios, but seems more likely when going up a hill and gradually need to hit gas to maintain speed. 5. Today, was driving on interstate when i was LOVING the full set if new injectors and the acceleration and how strong engine felt. When going to an exit, i could tell that something changed and i hit the throttle. The engine downshifted and the tpms went up, HOWEVER the Turbo failed to provide more boost. Starting to suspect that exhaust back pressure/tube sensor might be contributing. 6. Mechanic says delete. Seems like a hammer looking for a nail. . Any thoughts appreciated. Obliged. Joseph
@@Joseph-Colin-EXP Do you have a scangauge or way to monitor the truck? Oil Injection pressure is important maybe the IPR valve is acting up or ICP sensor is giving bad readings to the ECU
I found a stolen recovered 6.0 at auction but it's listed as a non start. Inspection isn't possible due to Covid. This is the exact spec that I have been looking for for ages and I guess will be cheap. Year 2006. 186000 miles. Worth taking a risk on?
@@six0bros would it be reasonable to assume that whatever is wrong with it is unlikely to need more than $3000 in parts to fix? Labour isn't an issue as I can fix things myself, right up to pulling an engine if necessary.

Hey sorry this took a while. Riff raff boots hold up so well. I ran a pair for 8 years and they were still in great shape. I just changed my pipe out from stock
@@six0bros all good no worries. Thx for the reply and info on boots. I'll have to pick up a set of riff raff boots since they've been good for you . Thx again
We’ll let me start by saying my turbo was making small noises of something grinding inside while I was driving , I don’t know why but I accelerated down thinking it would fix the issue but instead my truck started blowing bluish white smoke and ran for a little bit and ended up shutting off, and it leaked out a lot of oil during that time it leaked out on the passenger side of the truck looked like the smoke could possibly been from oil in the exhaust (2003 Ford F-250 6.0). Now it won’t start , and is showing a p132b code . A mechanic came with another computer and is claiming piston 5 is misfiring as well. Has anyone ever experienced this ? Or have any idea what it maybe? I don’t want too invest in all kinds of parts for no reason that’s why it’s important for me too find out what the issue is .
Hey there I know I’m a little late that same exact situation happened to me minus the misfire but that is 100 percent your turbo I looked forever on the internet and everything said head gaskets but that is definitely your turbo are you also getting bad mpg? If so then it is, hope I’m not too late to help
Sorry I am so late to this one. The grinding sounds like it was your turbo. Now for the truck not starting. You will need to monitor icp voltage, ipr%, ficm main, battery voltage, ficm sync, and cam sync. Your icp voltage needs to be at least 0.8 for the injectors to fire.
not my first pick either, but the guy ran it without issue. I personally like nations start and alternator for a reasonable price on an upgraded unit, and their are much better ones out that too.
@@six0bros Thanks for the help on this. I'm pretty new at working on a 6.0. I want to install a new exhaust system and delete the Cat. in order to install a new down pipe will I need to raise the cab? My 6.0 is currently stock except for EGR Delete and a Blue spring upgrade.
No it is a tight fit though. Which kit are you looking at I can get you an affiliate link off ebay and any affiliate links help thr channel even if you don't buy what you click on. I recommend a 3.5 inch downpipe to a 4 inch out the back. That said I have a 4 inch downpipe from the turbo back on my truck. One thing you could do to give a little room is to use a jack and 2x4 and jack up against the cab this will lift the cab slightly if there is any slack in it ans give a little room to help but with the y pipe and cab it is a very tight fit normally although I have never tried the trick I just told you
@@six0bros Alright Cool, I had an 09 a while back with a 6.4 and I used an AFE exhaust It worked well but did not put a new down pipe on. I'll try the Affiliate Link you mentioned and will go with 3.5 inch down. Thanks
@6.0 Bros yeah when I got my truck, I did all of the "bullet proofing" along with the egr delete and oil cooler upgrade. Went to drive it the first time and it fell on its face so upon inspection, that plastic pipe had a split along the bottom I replaced it with another one but will be installing one of the charge pipe kits next week
The black plastic pipe was put into production in late 04. Prior to that it was a metal cac pipe. You can still find it all over brand new they still make them
Thank you! Exactly what i needed. Keep up with these gr8 videos...
Will do?
Jared man I’m glad you told me about that and made the video. I’m still going to order a new one for just to have when my stock one shits the bed
sorry I was late to getting this video out brother. Hope youre doing well

Glad you liked it man. You know me I love calling out people lol
liquid nails that shit will even cure headgasket issues lol
Excellent video and information. Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate it
These aftermarket boots will blow off! 😊
lol why do you think they will blow off? everything was cleaned well. tightened down correctly using quality boots and clamps
My truck blows the bottom boot only when I’m hauling I hit 70 I let off the gas and boom but only when I pull any advice I appreciate it.
So it blows when you let off the throttle? Have you tried replacing boots and new clamps. Checking torque spec on thr clamps to make sure they are tightened how they should be? Does it blow off the pipe or off the intercooler? I'm happy to help just wanna make sure I have the right information first.
Also is your truck tuned or stock
Yes it is tuned it used to blow off the top now it’s just bottom on the passenger side when I pull. Thank you sir.
Also got new hoses and clamps
@ftcaamca8 have you checked the mounting on the intercooler to see if it is damaged where the lip should be?
I changed both boots and claims after truck is running for a long time the turbo hose blows off
Were all surfaces clean? Did you tighten the clamps to their torque spec? And which kit did you get?
i have the sinister diesel intake piping. would these be a good upgrade for their boots? i did start to have the cold side blow off on me after 6 months. i believe it could of been operator error though. but learned that being stranded with boot problems is no fun!
These boots should work fine with the sinister piping kit
sorry ...didn't see - what is the tourque ?
You'll want to double check your brand but ford has at 9 lb-ft

Dlwjat exhaust do you have. It sounds like the exhaust is hitting the firewall

You are right it is the up pipe is there an easier way to fix it then taking everything back off?
Best way I found is to honestly take it off and grind it down or cut it. If you can fit something back like a Dremal you may be able to get it off without taking it all apart
I had the high pressure oil pump changed and now it makes a loud whistle noise and getting worse I have only put 450miles on it
Most likely sounds like an exhaust leak probably the y pipe to turbo connection
Here is a turbo removal and install video I did hope it helps

Hell Yea Bro..Hope all is well
Thanks man we are all doing well.
How tight did you go with the clamps? Love the RiffRaff boots/clamps but my cold pipe to intake elbow popped off a couple times lol glad it wasn’t the turbo boot
Each set of clamps is different but ford spec is like 110 inch pounds i think
That’s what I thought but doesn’t seem like much! I probably went 3X haha just ended up zipping them down with the M12 ratchet
I found my m12 ratchet gets very close to torque spec

Dumb question. Is the 6.0 a common rail engine?
No it is not a common rail. The injectors are a hydraulic electronic actuated injection system
