Love me some 6.0 content. The last 6.0 I drove was an 07 F450 that we used to pull the Disaster Response 5th Wheel Trailer. Fully decked out with lights and agency insignia. I believe they got rid of it after I left law enforcement in 2013. Great video!!
The early log manifold was scrapped for the later model “wavy” rail because the deadhead design of the log created issues with oil flow to the injectors. Edit: great video though man
@@detroitdiesel7074 no different than a 7.3 is dead headed. Log is pressurized with oil, injectors “use” what’s called upon by FICM to push the fuel out of the injector with high pressure oil via the intensifier piston. Only flow issue would be when log is air filled after opening system and log is void of any oil. I seldom have to pull valve covers on a early 6.0 for HPO leaks and I attribute it to be a much less problem prone setup. The standpipe never fails, braided feed line never fails. It worked on the 7.3, dt466 and dt530 which are all proven work horses. Thanks for watching.
@@AutomedicGarage I think you missed the point, the newer rails basically get rid of pressure drop across the injectors, as well as have a higher capacity of oil
@AutomedicGarage i just delt with this on my 03 while doing an inspection before reinstallation. after added up the cost of oem new pigtails it was cheaper to buy the new harness. so thats exactly what i did. otherwise its just a game of whack a mole. ive made sense of this while building a ficm harness, the gxl or equivalent wire use is only good as long as the motor is good. when the motor pops its head gaskets and egts and temps get out of control. that mixed with age and rodents spell disaster for these harnesses. i also suspect brake clean is acting as an aid to getting the insulation soft and gummy.
Hello, Greetings from Mexico. My 2003 6.0 does exactly the same thing, cold starts perfectly but once I use it for a while it won't start until you pour some starter through the air filter. Could this be a similar problem?
My 05 6.0 runs and drives fine no power loss but makes a horrible thumping sound from the intake 😢I already had the heads fixed and it still makes the same sound I don’t know what it could be
@@AutomedicGarage it’s crazy because it’s a deep thump not a ticking noise that a lifter should make. The place I had it at said it shouldnt have been a lifter and I’ve already dumped so much money into for it not to be fixed
@@AutomedicGarage I will have to try that! This is why y’all are the best. I wish I lived closer to Tennessee but 7 hours is a bit far to take in my truck lol
@@Curtdude got one here from the Alabama cost 7 hrs away, one from cookville 5 hrs away, and one from central Texas 9 hrs away right now plus a few local customers.
@@AutomedicGarage just watched it sounds good! Badass build I have a 68 f100 4x4 I’ve been slowly building and driving since highschool! Your videos are some of the most helpful one out there keep up the good work!
@@jarrettmeier2143 thanks bud. I thought about making the 67 4x4 in the beginning but everything I have is 4x4 so why not do a old school street truck I suppose
Excellent step by step repair with great tips and close up video. Thank you for keeping the 6.0 drivers rolling.
Very good explanation and information

Nice job 👍
I really appreciate your video, thank you sir 😁👍

Going to do this on my 06 I’ve already pulled rails of and dummy plugs were toast

Nicely done Drew! ? How many miles can you get on stock injectors/ hpop. On a superduty 7.3. Within reason! Appreciate what y’all are doing!

@@rulasloquillo it could be. You have some form of a HPO leak
Could the new oil rails be swapped to the old rails
@@331fox. not without changing branch tubes which involves removing the rear cover
I have a question I was driving down the road with my 6.0 and it just shut off while driving and doesn’t want to start back up.
