Sometimes they are just mad at you
I didn’t know Conan O’Brien knew anything about 6.0s!
Most informative 25 minutes of my life worth every second before I send my diesel to a shop where they're just going to screw me over I'm going to watch every one of your videos on a 6.0 I bet I'll be able to fix it myself
Good luck! I think this is the only video I have made so far lol
So experts charging you to fix your truck is screwing you over?
@@manworksgarage . . . If you have never been screwed over by a mechanic shop you may just not realize it. My 1st diesel was a 1983 6.2 cross over. I had a problem of it only being able to run about 35 mph. Everyone I talked to said it was an injector pump . About a $1500 fix at the time. I knew a lot of people that had been through the same thing and still didn't fix their truck so I went to about 10 different shops until the last one. The guy said people were just ripping people off , He put a new pvc valve in mine , didn't charge me anything . He said come see me when we have a real problem . . . . I got Lucky ! A lot of my friends didn't . I can tell you lots of other stories of friends getting screwed over by mostly dealerships ! There are some good guys out there and there are some that will take you for what they can get. . . . same as any other business. So don't be so pious !
@WH I'm saying not everybody out there it's screwing you over and if you don't know something you have to pay an expert to do it experts mechanics that Fix trucks aren't all screwing people over
@@wh8085 Mine and others years of experience is worth something and if you don't like it don't go there fix it yourself
I have an '04 F50 6.0 that suddenly wouldn't start after I turned it off at a bank drive thru. 2 mechanics instantly said I need a new hi pressure oil pump. Thanks to your video I understand what to look for, the parts involved and where they're located . Most informative video I've found on this issue, thank you!
What was the fix had the same exact thing happen to me
Oil pressure sensor on the top of the motor has also caused a no start multiple times for me. Unplug it and the truck will run...albeit poorly...but it will get you to a NAPA.
Where exactly?
@@sauce_joey8915 Google it...but if memory serves me correctly, front and slightly left between the manifolds. Should be a two-wire connector in the top of the sensor.
Thank you so much for the lecture !!!
THANK YOU. . My grandfather gave me his 06 and I promised I'd get it fixed and he wants to see it running. I've been trying my best to fix it. you are a blessing and i pray its something simple. Has a new Turbo. New Glow plugs. New fuel pump and filters. New IPR Valve. The mechanic said it was the HPOP which I payed to have fixed and now the truck still won't start. The mech said it started but won't run because he put the wrong HPOP in it. He's nowhere to be found and the truck is in my driveway. Thank you again for your advice. At least I now have a starting point.
I am sorry to hear about your bad experience, this video is certainly not and end all be all guide but I hope it helps you!
Then replace it with the correct pump . That is if he even replaced the old one. Something smells fishy.
There are ALOT of bad mechanics out there. I learned to fix my own 6.0. I already fixed 2 more trucks. I fixed a truck that a mechanic messed all up, injectors loose, loose bolts.
Really nice video! Very professional analysis and down to the point tips. Thanks
Very good video and smart guy good mechanic
I'm going crazy over here! 2005 6.0 Powerstroke
While Cranking:
FICM SYC - 1
FMP - 47 Volts
ICP - 1533 PSI
IPR - 56.2%
I still got a crank no start, where should I look? With that much pressure I don't think I need to air test it.
Have you tested your fuel pressure? At the fuel bowl?
Great video, but I'm going to take it to a shop.
😂that's what I did, I understand gas engines but not diesel.. 🤦🏻
What do you mean ,,air leak,, ? Are you listening for any gurgling sounds or actual air comming out?! I saw a clip from a Mechanic...who pressurised the sistem through IPR opening and you can hear air sound going and he said ,,its ok,, its not nipple cups leaking...so what is a ,,leak,,?
Very good video amigo. On the comments you are right people need to understand they need a good battery more than 12.4 volts and they need to subscribe to all data for wiring and troubleshooting. Thank you
I just had my 05 bulletproof about 3 years ago. And nothing for problems ever since. Now the air leak sounds like a bear in broken by the passenger side valve cover. It will not run very well as no power for the first 15 minutes. Fuel is leaking back into the tank. Fuel bowl is empty every morning. And after it sits for an hour the fuel bowl is empty it runs like crap the first 15 minutes. Nothing but problems. Any suggestions? Pretty positive this video is one problem I have. But I still have fuel leaking back in the tank. And the truck has to cool down completely before it will start back up again
Got 06 model building for son in law I am a professional mechanic worked on several 6.0 . I’ve got hot no start killing me. Cannot find leak in hpop system everything is new bout to give it up. Appreciate your video
Same here changed out my starter and solenoid and icp plug seen this videos comments someone said check ya battery terminals ya JACKASS there she was my special L terminal cracked in half completely behind the battery Surprises before Christmas 😅
I have a2006 6.0 power stroke that has been bullet proofed. It is a bigger to crank . It will crank and run fine but most times it takes a 3 or four cycle with the heaters cutting the ignition on and off. It seems to want you to turn cranking and most times it is when you stop the winding it cranks and runs fine. Hope you have the magic.
Im sorry but the spelling and wording was very confusing, from what I can hear it sounds like you may just have weak batteries.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Great presentation man.
Thank you for your video ,
Everything that you show about the oil pump and oil pressure parts to check and debris to look for, and none of that indicates need a new motor
Any idea why my 6.0 starts easier if I push it off than if I use the starter? Most days the starter will not even get it running but if I roll it down a hill it'll fire.
Well just watching the video for the first time, iam impressed! I plan on tearing into my 6.0 this week ,
6.0: biggest pile of shit I’ve ever owned. I put 300k with no problems on my 96 Cummins. Under 40k miles put on a 2004 6.0 and replaced cam position sensor; icp sensor; ipr; harnesses; 3 glow plugs and both harnesses; a hose I had to take half the engine apart to get to; pulley backed off power steering pump and threw three s belts before mechanic figured it out.
Damn you sound late to the party! and comparing a 96 12v Cummins with ANY modern diesel is not a fair comparison lol. As far as reliability goes it will stomp all of them but good luck finding a truck that hasnt fallen apart or doesnt cost way too much for what it is. The more modern diesels will destroy it in comparison though on tunability with power and fuel economy.
As for your issues though...that sounds like either bad luck or poor workmanship, those arent the typical problems I see on them at all. Either way that is almost 20 years old now, give it a break!
It’s not the engines fault. Sounds like your mechanic is a parts changer, and not a good troubleshooter. The dealerships are the worst. There are very few mechanics that know this engine. Most just create more problems and just keep throwing parts at them. With proper high pressure oil, good fuel pressure and good FICM, it should start. It has to have cam sync too and crank sync too. Could just be a bad sensor. I’ve heard of the main wiring harness going bad on older trucks also.
@@rodgraff1782 Disagree. It’s one of the worst designed motors...ever. There’s so much to go wrong. Using oil under several thousand psi is idiocy. The oil runs so hot. I could go on for pages.
It’s wedged into a van and nobody wants to work on it.
@@jeffreylonigro1382 I’ll agree, oil being used as a hydraulic fluid is not healthy. I change mine every 3000 miles and use Schaefer’s, and an two 4 ounce shots of revex. I know this truck is going to leave me on the side of the road at some point. Just hope it doesn’t happen on vacation pulling a 35’ trailer. You are right. There are tons of stuff to go wrong. I don’t know if I would go diesel again. Seems like they all have their problems, especially since they had to go with the particulate filter system.
Dude, you are brilliant. Love your videos… some of the most helpful info I’ve ever come across on UA-cam.
Great video. I have one of these trucks, 2006 and I hav been able to keep it running so far
Mine just spins over. Want start with starting fluid. Someone help me
Good job and thank you
Biggest piece of crap 💩on the market. Great for mechanics. Got tierd of working on those things.
How often and why the injectors cups are leaking air?
You're the best person I've ever seen. Your video has been so helpful I don't even know where to begin, to thank you.
Tha ks slot man after almost $3000 in labor and parts , this video helped me get my truck fired up in no time, with no out of pocket. THANK YOU, GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
Ain’t no gas in it uhhh huh!
It better not have gas in it!!
My 04 just driving along and shut off like you turned the key off and will not start back but will run somewhat on either
Changed cam sensor
I any case, that was a wonderful video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Also a ebp sensor being unolugged can cause a no start or a ficm issue lol
What tool was used didn't see the link
I gave up on fords after the 7.3. Honestly I don't want anything to do with any modern diesels, they're all money pits. My 2011 duramax is the last diesel ill buy with emissions on it. Ive been lucky with it but at 170k im waiting for the CP4 to pop or EGR to plug up and grenade the engine.
Hello, come to Russia, I have a problem with a truck, it costs a year, I can't start it! Only the diagnostic connector is round.
My 6.0 has a cold and hot no start. I found a bad o-ring on a nipple cupm on the pass side and replaced them(pass side) w/HRC cups and replaced the injectors o-rings while I was in there. Also replaced the stand pies and dummies on bot sides. I don’t have a scanner and don’t want to be a backyard mechanic and keep replacing parts till It runs. I do have a new IPR valve, cups for the left side and inj seals also. If I hit it with diesel starting fluid it starts and runs fine?
Until I shut it off then need starting fluid to fire it back up. I’m at a loss of what to do. I’ve been a mechanic for 40 years but not diesel. I brought it to a diesel shop and he ripped me off like you wouldn’t believe!!!! I broke my back and hip, so I can’t really lay over the core support for very long. ANY info you could recommend would be greatly appreciated. I will also pay you for a walk though onlinePhone etc.. to get this problem resolved! I need my truck running perfectly cause Im heading South wit a loaded trailer pretty soon. Im from NH
Part of the issue here is assuming you are getting ripped off. I have no idea if the shop you went to is a good shop or not, but no matter what diesel repairs are expensive. The fact that you have been a mechanic for 40 years and cant figure it out should tell you that whoever DOES figure it out is probably going to be worth a pretty penny. Also if you actually are a mechanic then why the hell do you not own a decent scanner? These days there are so many options for affordable powerful scan tools, hell Forscan is free and will do almost anything you need. As for what you are describing, it sounds like a HPOP pressure issue still, but its possible you have an electrical concern with a crank sensor or similar that doesnt work until the engine is at a high enough speed. Either way you have something that is preventing the truck from starting until the engine sees a high enough RPM, most likely still high pressure oil, but you need a scan tool to help find out what is happening. When it comes to repairs at my shop I do not provide diagnostics for people without me performing the repair in most cases, but ESPECIALLY with diesels. The diagnostic process on these often requires disassmbly and if I am not the one that is going to be fixing it, it makes no sense for me to tear it apart. 6.0 No start diags generally run several hundred dollars because of the labor involved, it is still often mostly included/combined with repairs if this is the case but either way that takes the right knowledge, the right tools etc. For what its worth, I work on a lot of diesel trucks and own a shop, I dont even own one because I dont have the need at this time and know how expensive they are. If you tow on occasion and not every day, get a V10 and spend the extra gas money because it is still cheaper.
@@GearHeadsGarageChannel yeah I had to close my shop a couple years ago.And sold all my heavy equipment, then sold my scanner last year. I got bumped off a roof down in S.C.(I live in N.H.). Couldn’t work so I sold out.
Last time it did this, I had a bad nipple cup o-ring,right side. Is there a program I can buy for my laptop and a pigtail? And what would be the best one for the buck? I figured it’s such a common problem, I trying to narrow it down, cause it’s extremely hard (and painful) to lay across the core support.
I appreciate that you got back to me. But like I said iT runs perfectly with a small shot of starting fluid! But I have to do it every time I start it?
Google Forscan you can use it with your phone or a laptop you will need a dongle you can buy for like $20 or so on Amazon. I am sorry to hear of your circumstances, I hope you get it figured out but there wont be any further assistance I can offer from 3,000 miles away.
My truck had the same problem but now my dash board won't turn on the gauges won't read for the speed or anything. And it won't accelerate past a certain speed just keeps dropping up and down. It's 2005 lariat f250
My 2005 6.0 was working amazing, next morning I went to turn it on and everything powered up but no crank. starters good, relays are good,batteries are good, I replaced the starter terminal and it still isn’t cranking. Any suggestions on what it could be???
My 6.0 turns on but it won't start when the ingine is hot
Only wont start when the engine is hot? Then I told you in this video exactly what is going on and how to find it.
Hey I was driving my 6.0 on the highway hit some uneven pavement and it shutoff the truck going 80 pulled over tried to start it and didnt want to even crank all lights on dash were on though
Sounds like an electronic issue, make sure your batteries are fully connected and check your grounds and harnesses.
Hi. What kind of equipment is needed to diagnose a Ford F 550 6.0 2004 car, with an OBD connector? I have an international truck. What is the name of the scanner?
I have a icp voltage of .24 and it stays at .24 when cranking the icp pressure I at 950 when cranking
dont know off the top of my head what .24 volts is but .24 doesnt sound like 950. If you can verify you have 950 then you have a problem elsewhere. I mentioned watching for FICM Sync etc as well. Also if it is the 04.5+ or so then try unplugging your icp sensor. An HPOP no start issue will present with less than 500psi, so first make sure your data is correct and if it is then look elsewhere.
Hello when is cool start when get hot and stop then want fire up again it won’t start how to fix it thank you is 2007 box truck 16 “ft 6.0 L turbo ford
Question what if you don’t get a code I’m was crank and start until I found a red wire, running from the fuse panel under the driver steering wheel across the dash to the I guess emergency shut off for the fuel, and after messing with that truck won’t start
My friends 6.0 Ford will not start unless it is 20 degrees or colder.
That’s an oil pump I’d say, oils to thin for the pump to start the engine. The fuel systems on these trucks run off oil pressure so if there’s not enough oil pressure there not enough fuel pressure either.
I call BS on that, mine starts just fine in hotter temps here in Texas…
truck dies after a few minutes of driving and takes a long crank to start and sometimes it wont start at all. ficm is 48v. ipr stays at 14.8v at key on engine off. during a long crank the ipr wont reach over %40 while cranking. during cranking the desired icp is 650psi and icp is 648psi. ipr stays at 25% when engine is running on idle.
Thank You for video and sharing your dog with us. Much appreciated
My issue is so weird. While running down the road I went from 14.3 to 10v battery light came on truck died stranded me on the freeway.
I put all new batteries and alt and still will not start , I’m lead to believe possibly the starter???
On the gauges the oil meter isn’t moving at all, but oil is building in the filter holding and all. Checked HPOP on my monitor while cranking it’s only 55psi but this doesn’t make sense because EVERYTHING is brand new less than 3k on new motor , new hpop etc. the only thing that isn’t new is the starter.
Truck cranks n cranks n cranks very strongly but will not run . Any1 can help.?
My 04 i just got it cranks and no start but when i turn the key it has a gauge on the fuel filter and when key is on it will go to 60 then it makes a air noice and goes back to 0? Also it smokes white when cranking but will never start i dont know what this is the only code it has is p0197 i need some help
Need help with a 2007 6.0. Zero voltage to the ICP with the key on and engine off.
I recently had my 03 6.0 f250 service for a crack injector and when I got it back my a/c went out and and the next day I was driving it , smell like burn rubber but couldn’t figure out from where. Park my truck and 3 hr later try to turn it on but won’t come on. It would crank and everything but just won’t turn on
Any helpful ideas on where to start
Does it start when plugged in? I recently had my injectors replaced and mine won't start unless plugged in
05 6.0 has no crank at all , no injector clatter at all? What could it be bad FICM?
Where can I get the fuel sensor?
How to contact you guys? I have 2 trucks stuck on my shop and i cant start them, pls, i need help
My 400k excursion, that is the miles not the amount of receipts. It was slow cranking even with new batteries. My mechanic installed a new starter. Wow super fast cranking and started perfect.
I
Just replaced oil cooler and I put it all back together and it cranks but no start what gives
The oil pressure gauge says the pressure is half way at idle, it has no check engine codes, fuel was flowing into the fuel filter bowl. But it starts and runs for 10 seconds to a minutes and shut off. Do you have a educated guess on what the problem could be???????????????
Does it start back up right after shutting off? If not then it shouldnt be difficult to diagnose but you need the right tools. If it is spontaneously stalling and starts back up immediately it may be more difficult to narrow down. If you plan to work on one of these trucks invest in a good scan tool solution and get proper testing equipment. Diagnosing things properly is important and just guessing at things is a very ametuer and foolhardy way to go about things, I cant tell you how many times I have seen that process make things worse and create new problems and cost much more when all is said and done.
My f 550, 2007, 6.0 turns off when it hit a bump and I checked all the cables and I don't know what happens anymore
i dont think i should be worried but my ficm says im getting 49 volts. sometimes 48.5 and 48 but nothing below that and nothing higher than 49
I have a 06 f250 crank no start. Process of elimination- injectors are not clattering after turning key on. The amps at the ficm gradually builds to 58amps when key is turned on. Is that to many amps? I've checked the relay and 12 volts on both sides.
I got the same problem. I'm still chasing the issue.. one day, i get clatter, but then it sounds like only one.. but then the next day, no clatter at all. pressures are good all syncing.. fuel pump kicks on.. voltages seem ok, but the amperage draw seems very high with the key on. no injector clatter...
Hi. My 03 6.0 not filling the fuel filter only does air bubbles, i should i begin replacing?
How do you check the low pressure oil pom
With an oil pressure gauge
They make a billet cap with a 1/8” threaded hole in the center. You can take a pressure reading there.
My son's f250 6.0 diesel showed a battery icon that lit up on the dashboard just before it just died on him. And since then we have been unable to get it to start. It turns over but won't start. Any suggestions? Oh with no codes and no check engine light illuminated.
Just happened to me in my f350
How is it cranking? put a charger on it for awhile and make sure they are fully charged, slow cranking will not help these engines and they require a LOT of power to start between lighting the glow plugs and cranking the high compression engine at the same time. Other than that if it is cranking strong then follow what I showed in the video for at least a few clues and possibilities
By the way...if the check engine light isnt on with the key on there is probably an electrical or communication problem...no CEL while driving is good but get into any car with a key after 1996 or so and turn the key to the "On" position and you will have a light on for the check engine and a few others. If you dont in many cases it might mean your cluster is not seeing the engine computer either turn on or communicate.
Probably a shit alternator these trucks have a crap factory alternator I’ve long upgraded that and bat/alt cables on mine 🤘🏻✌🏻
@@kp__truckin Stock alternator is junk. The same one is used on a Ford fusion. That can also take your FICM out, along with weak batteries. Changing out the alternator is a must if you are going to tow a camper trailer.
A great video ❤
That is funny as hell😂
Thank you 🙏
Could a bad EGR VALVE cause a crank but no start situation on my son's 05 f250 6.0 diesel power stroke?
So when the car starts it goes off and when the car starts after difficult start by giving it gas, what do I do to correct this.
I have a 2004 King ranch F350 the wires pulled out of the C1388A X2 connector injector control Cyl, 2358 can u help me with a color diagram
My recommendation is get a temporary personal subscription to AllData or similar or buy a factory service manual and you will have access to all you need.
There is a aftermarket cap that has a place for a fitting to put a pressure gage fitting on so you just put test Guage on it lot eas
2004 f250 6.0. Driving fine down freeway 65mph. Just stoped running. No pedal response, now it just cranks over fine and won’t start. No indication of want to start while cranking over. Batteries are full charged,Fuel level just under half tank. Put 5gal fuel, still no start.
Mine is doing the same thing trying to figure it out
My mechanic replaced the IPR injector pressure regulator. It’s now running fine again. The cost for him to do it was $1,000.00. Not sure on the part cost. I’m thinking he said oem part $450.00 good luck with yours.
2003 best year of 6.0 engines?
03 04s
My 2005 had a no start. Failed oil cooler. Covered under warranty. Towed twice and would start once cold.
Awesome video my 06 F350 6.0 as of today will not start it will crank but won’t fire off . I also had a code 0299 but It ran fine until this morning after a huge rain storm !
What the H@#$ is going on so today I tried to start the truck and the batteries started getting weak ,so I put my battery charger on , while I was going to writing down info from your video . Went out and was going to see what my numbers where going to be when I tried to start it. And it started after a about 10-15 of seconds cranking it ?
Good stuff, thank you sir!
Outstanding! Your the man!!! Thank you for all the helpful information!!!!!
I have an 03 ford F550 6.0 V8 and this problem started out of nowhere it was just fine working and now when I try to start it with the key it just clicks I can only start it from inside of the hood I tried to bypass it and it started right up with the key and now it’s doing the same thing, any suggestions Of what’s wrong or how to fix it
That is not the same as the problem as what is happening in this video, you have an electrical issue sounds like might be an ignition switch or related item. If you dont know how to test and diagnose it find a local mechanic you trust.
If it helps anyone, I had my 06 shut off completely with no start on the highway, started replacing standpipes and dummy plugs but the seals looked ok anyways but found the icp sensor and stc fitting o rings blown apart.
You would have found that if you tested and searched for the leak properly. Assuming anything is not the proper way to go about repairs. The whole point of this video is to show different ways to diagnose the problem, it is not an end all be all obviously the video isnt hours long but the point is dont guess.
Wish I could figure out why mine wont start after putting on all new injectors, glow plugs, bulletproof air cooler, blue spring kit, new standpipes, new oil rail seals and cups, new thermostat, new turbo drain pipe,, water pump, and EGR valve. I have it facing down on a decline with 1/4 tank of fuel, but the filter housing on the front is full. Used the yellow/blue wire from the starer on the battery and the compression sounds good.
You just gave a list of things you replaced, you didnt give any list at all on what you can confirm the truck is or isnt getting to start. That is the backwards wrong way to think about diagnosing a problem, any problem. Cant tell you how many bad parts I have gotten out of the box, how many wrong repairs I made before I learned and how many times I have to fix things now that other people threw the parts cannon at. Slow down and relax, go back to the basics and figure out what you do and dont have that the engine needs to start. You could have simply even forgotten to plug in the crank sensor, or maybe its somethng else or a bad part you got but no one will know until someone actually goes in and diagnoses it properly, which this video was intended to at least give some help on although it doesnt and never could cover everything.
Question, I only hav e 7.3 experience. is there an oil reservoir on the 6.0 that feeds the HPOP like 7.3? If it does not have oil in it like the. 7.3 cause a no start too?
Nah the 6.0 does not have an oil reservoir and the system is very different from the 7.3.
Since April, we have spent $6000 on our 2004 super duty 250. High-pressure oil pump they took the cab off to fix that when they brought it back we had to have the park brake brake redone because it wouldn’t shut up it rang all the time then the air conditioner wouldn’t work the four-wheel-drive wouldn’t work then my husbands driving it, And it just quit on a hill. When the guy looked at it he said well your air conditioner compressor is no good and it’s locked the thing up and that’s why it won’t run. My husband believe them so that was the last thing on the $6000. We got it back yesterday and now my husband tells me that it won’t start again that you have to use the wire under the hood to get it to start again. First quit because my husband was pulling a dump trailer full of dirt in April one of the worst months of the year. I told him that that was what he did he shouldn’t have been pulling such a heavy load. Because he got my sons new one to use after that and it quit too. So the guy told him it was his high-pressure oil pump was his problem the reason the truck wouldn’t start after that so the high-pressure oil pump fixed his sons newer one but it didn’t fix ours. What else could it be. Thank you Suzanne Perkins. Ps great video. I’ll have my husband Watch it so he can try to do what you said to do on the top there. But do you have any other suggestions.
I am sorry this has been such an ordeal for you but it is very hard to diagnose things remotely and I do not have the time sadly. To be honest it sounds like you need a better mechanic, I would hope that they did a LOT more when pulling the cab besides just changing the HPOP because a cab pull is not at all required for that. As for issues after the cab pull like E-brake if they made mistakes that should have been covered and fixed for free
So my grandpa is giving me his 08 f250 Diesel and it’s been parked for several years and it cranks but no start and we don’t know what’s wrong how can we get it to start ? It’s a twin turbo 6.4L
Look up Diesel Tech Ron Channel on UA-cam. He has everything you need to know.
There's a difference between a parts changer and a good mechanic,a good mechanic will diagnose the problem not just guess and throw parts at it,once you learn how to diagnose the problem it will save you big dollars in the end... excellent video
No crank or injector chatter on a video please
If you tap it and it turns on is the pump bad ?
Very in formative vid,,I'm acquiring my brothers 05 6.0.240,000mls,.in good shape,(used for towing rv,,no tuner),between me and my oldest brother,,both of us mechanics,,the lift pump is the issue or The HFCM,,,causing intermittent starts the last 6years,,,I just wanted to know your thoughts on this blue spring upgrade,,good bad etc..I plan on leaving this truck stock,
The blue spring upgrade is worth doing and doesnt even cost what an oil change does so idk why that wouldnt have been done already if you both know about it. As for intermittent starts it could be the pump or something else but without proper testing and catching something going wrong it wouldnt be great to just throw parts at it.
@@GearHeadsGarageChannel I recently stumbled across this blue spring upgrade,,,it seems people are upgrading with tuners,deletes, big tires,and black smoke.lol.as my brother and I are more hd diesel techs.
My is a 2006.only starts with starter fluids. Cleaned fuel tank, replaced fuel filters. Ran OK for about 2 weeks and is having same or worse issues starting or keeping runing. But it won't start unless I spay it first. Truck is parked.
I gave you a list of things to test, cant do much else without seeing the truck myself I sadly am too busy to try and help diagnose through the internet.
Could it be poor fuel quality or water in the fuel, or bad fuel pump?
hey there we just changed the glow pugs camsenser cranksense and crankseal and the fuel pump but she wants to start but seems like she dosent have the power to and its kicked out gray and black smoke . will this video help with that or do u think its an air lock in the line? thank you katrina
This video can help point you in the right direction of things to check, if its pumping out black smoke it sounds like the injectors are probably firing. These need to be on a battery jumper usually when opening the HPOP system but it doesn't sound like you guys had to do that with the repairs you listed.
i paid one mechanic to do a diagnostic test and he said that needed to change out the HPOP. so I did that, and itbstill wouldn't start. I got a second guy to run another diagnostic test and he said my FICM was the problem. so I changed out the bad board and it was pre programed for my 05 F-350. well, that didn't work either. I'm going to go back to check fluid levels, even though I know I checked them, and even gave the truck all new filters and an oil change. The first thing I did do without testing anything was to change the sensor. now I believe that it will be either the low pressure oil pump, or a possible leak. since I don't have a mechanics scope, I'm going to try a clear fuel line I have been holding on to for my golf cart. if I put one end in an ear and scan around for a leak. my one problem is I think I'll need someone to crank the truck, because I still have the no start problem. without starting, how else would I be able to find a leak?
I am sorry the other mechanics diagnosed it wrong but this sounds like a headache with too many hands involved and going scatterbrained in too many different directions. You need to confirm you have good ICP Pressure, confirm the injectors actually are firing, confirm the fuel bowl is full with no bubbles and you have good fuel pressure, confirm crank sensor is working, knock out one thing at a time yourself and go down the list or hand it off to someone that will figure it out without you doing the work. If someone came to my shop and I told them what I found and then they took it and did the repair there is so much potential for things to get missed that I may know to check for and you dont or mistakes may get made etc. Good luck and hope you solve your issue
@@GearHeadsGarageChannel thanks, I gave the job to the guy who gave the diagnosis but he never showed up. Same thing happened with the second guy. I ended up changing the parts out. I wish I could find a good mechanic.
What’s the best tune for 6.0 For daily driving ?
Don’t want a a hot rod just a nice clean tune
worst engines ever made! just pure TRASH1
Worst ever? I see you have never been introduced to the 6.4 😂😂😂
I've got a 2005 6.0. It quit on me while I was driving and now just turns over but won't start. I took the cap off fuel filter and its got plenty of fuel. The only code I get is U1900. Can that code tell me something or what should I look at next
That code is saying there is a CAN Bus communication error. At this rate you will need to take it to a shop that has the proper equipment and knowledge, if the communication error is what is causing your issue then without the right tools and know how it is going to be very unlikely that you will be able to fix the issue.
Maybe IPR sensor
I have 07 no crank no start, it just clicks as if a bad starter. Cranks and starts after letting sit for the first time and doesn’t start after the second or third or after. Replaced starter twice, relays and fuses check out ok, getting 12 volts to both terminals
Its gonna be something simple. Bad battery, bad ground or bad relay etc. Cant test it for you over the internet, this video was about diagnosing crank no starts and I hope it helps some people with that issue, but it is not the same issue you are experiencing.
Come out of the store about 15 minutes after I was driving my truck I tried starting it wouldn’t start I tried jumping it wouldn’t start took the batteries out took them home charge them up next morning put the batteries back in wouldn’t start put two pick ups on jumping from one from each side it started going down down and not one click
Not one click would imply your truck isnt even cranking, which is not what this video is about. That could very well be a starter or some other electronic issue, from what I am hearing I would recommend finding a trustworthy mechanic that is familiar with these trucks and have them look at it.
Did you ever find out the problem? I have the exact same problem happe. To me
My 98 chevy 454 vortec sure is simple!!!
Hahaha XD true that 97 364 vortex here got a 350 6.0 06 for 1200$ trying to flip it... Halfway painted and cannot get it started yet it's started a few fucking times but I ain't got it to move more then 10 ft
12:12 where did you connect the hose?
I have a problem with a 06 Ford 6.0 it has problems cranking and when it starts and I let the accelerator go it turns off
Where are you located
I have the F250 with a 6.0. The problem I’m having is that the starter isn’t coming on when I try to crank it. I have removed the starter and had it tested but it was fine. I have replaced the starter relay and tested all of the fuses but still can’t find the problem. What do I need to check next?
You are going about this wrong, between your key and the starter there are other components involved that need to send that signal. With a test light or multimeter you can test everything necessary. First off, when you turn the key to the crank position is the ignition switch actually sending that signal? if so it still has a couple safeties to go through first, one thing would be your neutral safety switch. Does it crank if you pop it in neutral but not park? Can you watch it happen with the multimeter or test light? Past this it could be computer issues but with the right knowledge and testing even this can be diagnosed with basic tools.
Long story short, your starter has two powers going to it, the constant 12v from the battery to the motor(the thicker gauge wire) and the starter solenoid control wire. If you are not getting 12 volts or so to the solenoid wire then the problem is upstream from there. Whether it is worth your time to figure out or pay someone else is up to you.
Btw 6.0's have a wire near the passenger battery that can be jumped to crank the engine and if they key is in the on position it will start.
I will see if I can find that wire. At least if I can get it started that way I can get it to a mechanic
