i gotta say your channel is a total blessing! ive worked on gas engines my whole life but decided to buy my first diesel a 2003 f250 with a 6.0 automatic that i found out needs a turbo and oil cooler and your videos eliminated my nerves and have given me the confidence to tackle this project myself
When I twisted wrench’s on Porsche 944’s they too had an oil cooler on the side of the block that would swap coolant with and spread the everywhere. I used shout it out as it was phosphate free and would destroy that oil. It always made for a clean floor and the shop smells nice and clean.
First off..... wanna say I love the bonnie blue hanging from the rafters! Secondly.....just bought my godson a 04 6.0. Stock except for coolant filer kit. New turbo and 180k with no blow. I know there's technically no headbolt safe tuner but was wondering what your thoughts are with running just MPG or 20 to 50hp setup. I like edge for being able to monitor everything that you need to especially on 6.0 like the oil temp vs coolant temp. But I've only used sct and ts stuff on my fords. Seems to be a healthy engine and we done all the fluids and I've checked everything that i know to look for. I don't expect it to run like my 450hp 7.3 but the kid is wanting little more than what it is now.
I’ll say what I say to every customer who asks this. Don’t tune it with factory TTY bolts unless you wanna do studs in the very near future. Last customer who didn’t follow this had to stud his truck way sooner than he budgeted for and stated “I was only running a lite tow tune” that’s when I had to say “I told you”. Leave the truck alone do whatever exhaust you want, cold air, blue spring, etc but don’t throw more fuel and boost at a truck that’s already prone to have head gasket problems. I know it’s not what he wants to hear but it’s better than puking coolant and looking at a truck sit in the driveway because it’s broke. That’s my 2 cents.
I have an 074F250 super duty with a 6.0 power stroke the engine overheated on me and there is sludge in the reservoir coolant. Looks like chocolate milk chunks just like yours
Great video! Gonna tackle my oil cooler in the next couple days for this same exact reason. Is an oil change mandatory after this? My last oil change was about 500 miles ago before this problem presented itself
Great video series! I love the 6.0. On this chocolate syrup truck how did you rule out possibility of head gaskets? did you run a PSI test on the degas bottle? Was there no teltale smoke in the exhaust? Just curious how that didnt come up as a possibility. Thanks for taking all this time to show us about the 6.0.
How come you didn't replace the oring on the push in threaded bolt(brass looking ) on the oil cooler cover. You can remove the block drain plugs and or freeze plugs while you are replacing the oil cooler to get that muck out of the block.
@@michaeld954 gotta find a oem USA made oil cooler first, Couple bottles of cascade dish detergent to flush the coolant system, intake gaskets, ELC coolant, oil change. Around $900 in parts
I've got the fuel bowl deleted, the shop that did it cut the bowl off with a sawall. I want to pull the oil filter off and sand it down smooth. What would I do while in there? Stand pipe? I'll be putting in new filter of course.
What is more common in the sourh on the 6.0 oil coolers or high pressure oil leaks? Im from the rust belt when i used to work on theses day in and day out i had a lot of high pressure oil leaks not a whole lot of oil coolers
I see both, more hpo leaks than coolers. I think most folks have learned the hard way and quit running crappy coolant and neglecting oil changes so it’s slowed the oil cooler issue.
@@AutomedicGarage the CAT coolant that you use is a very good idea that ford gold coolant is not very good I had to put multiple front covers on 6.4l not so much 6.0l because of the ford coolant. Keep doing what you are doing I love the videos
If ISP in not building up it's most likely is HPOP LEAK ,,(taking IPR out of equations) STC fitting. So, WHEN IS IT WISER TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PUMP or it's ONLY STC fitting???!
@@mikeches7992 what year 6.0? Need to have live data numbers. ICP V, ICP psi, IPR duty cycle, FICM main and sync. Once we have that and can confirm no or low icp psi then air test through ipr. It will show you what is leaking. Otherwise this is just a guessing game.
@@AutomedicGarage Thanks for reply.TRUCK IS 2004. The reason why I m leaning towards the HPOP because I ve replaced IPR, BOTH DUMY PLUGS AND STANDPIPES, ISP SENSOR, BOTH CRANK SENSORS, HAVE BASE OIL PRESURE, ALL IS LEFT HPOP:)but my question is ,,WILL NEW STC FITTING FIX HPOP OR ITS NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH AND NEED NEW PUMP? WHAT % WOULD IT BE FOR THE STC and/or THE PUMP..
Thanks for the tip on not having to remove the turbo . Makes it so much simpler.
Sure thing. Glad it helped

U messed up getting a 03 bro
@@BlakeRobison-jh3ft 03 has the most desirable turbo bro
@@AutomedicGarageCan I put an 03 turbo on my 6.0?
From chocolate syrup sludge to “clean as a whistle” is an amazing achievement. A lot of great tips and tricks. Thank you for teaching us.
I'm never removing the whole turbo ever again what a gem !
Man what an awesome channel, my 6.0 oil cooler was leaking and that brought me here. Cant tell you how great these videos are! Keep up gods work.
Thanks buddy. Check us out at Automedicgarage.com, Facebook and instagram also.

THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK.....NOT DIFFICULT SINCE YOU HAVE DONE THESE BEFORE.....BUT STILL A LOT OF WORK.....GREAT VIDEO.....
@@councilquirks6601 thanks bud. Ruptured oil coolers suck
You can also power up the block heater during the overnight Cascade soak to keep the temperature up and working a little warmer.
As dumb as I may sound saying this I’ve never thought about leaving the block heater plugged in for this. Thanks
Where you are, I doubt the block heater is ever used, if at all. It wouldn't come to mind easily.
@@toomanytoys I plug mine in when we get in the 20s. We spent a whole week last winter with the highs in the teens. They get used some down here
Good work man.
Thanks

Blown head gasket won’t mix coolant with oil, just pressurizes the coolant system
