Rolled Over 6.0 Powerstroke Sitting for 12+ Years, WHAT A GAMBLE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This video is a bit different from the usual but it was such a unique situation I had to share.
As many of you know, I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart, located in the Saint Louis Missouri area. I don't buy a lot of cars because I don't have a large lot. That means I have to be pretty picky with what I buy. Our vehicles are wrecked, totaled, flooded, burned, mechanically totaled, etc and they come from places like Copart, IAA, tow lots, shops and even the local public.
A local tow lot closed a few years ago and recently they had an auction to sell off everything that was there. I bought 5 vehicles including this truck. When picking up the title for this truck, talking with the owner of the former tow lot, he told me that truck was wrecked in 2010 or 2011 and parked on their lower lot ever since.
As with many of our vehicles, we don't really know their condition until we try to get them started, and tear into them. This thing had a ton of aftermarket parts like a long arm lift, ranch hand bumpers,. enormous exhaust stacks and some large wheels and tires. When we powered this up we were in for a shock!
So now this entire truck is inventoried and if you'd like to buy parts from it, you can go to www.importapart.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
As this channel evolves, I want to show other parts of this industry I've been so deeply rooted in for 20+ years.
I hope you enjoyed this video, and as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

Cab swap it do iiiiitttttttt
Yes I'm all for this
Save the truck it what he is about dont kill a good truck this is a shame !
Im a chevy guy and i would save that truck .
@@ttm9379 me to a truck is a MF TRUCk!
That powerstroke wants to live even after all its been through. Save it!
Head studs, oil cooler, and a cab swap. That's all this needs and I'll guarantee you'll still be driving this thing in ten years
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
I agree. Fix it. If you do not want it afterwards, sell it. It will go for big money in this market.
The 6.0 in a European application was a great motor because it didn't have all the smog garbage the US models did.
YES PLEASE, DO IT, DO IT, CAB SWAP, WILL GET MANY, MANY VIEWS, BIG MONEY FOR YOU ?
@@dougkabler3032 FOR SURE, JUST THE STORY ALONE IS WORTH FIXING IT.
No one knows how happy seeing the oil pressure shoot up before the final start made me. I knew she had life
It's a HEUI system. It has to have oil pressure to even start
@@tjlqk3 I know! That’s why seeing the dummy gauge jump made me happy
@@jaxfarias973 As someone whos done lots of head jobs, thats always the "please god let that guage move" moment before it finally fires lol
Thank you! I’m hoping you go “off script” more often with videos like this one!
Cut the roof off, install a roll cage and run it.
Totally agree about all the bad press so many vehicle brands get. All vehicles are "man made" and capable of failure.
maybe seats?
I second cutting the roof off.
@@stereolababy Why seats? A little Mother's leather conditioner and you're setting pretty.
Yup. The roof is the least hard to fix like a frame or something. Just body work.
@@Omgninjas2me three 😂
I'm still driving my 05 PS with 235k. Original seats, no rips. Dash good. All the PW, PD, original AC still working, knock on wood. Bought it for $15k @157k miles over 8 years ago. Yes, I have put some money into a head job - couldn't resist putting a tuner on it. But all in all mine has treated me pretty well.
Mine a 04 6.0 non deleted, 250,000
Still driving , running good!
I have an 07 F350 crew cab long bed FX4. Garage kept, never sat outside or driven to work, showroom condition. It went to Bulletproof Diesel in Mesa AZ early on for the "works" ($10,000)
We use it for cross country trips. Never any problems.
You have a 6 liter powerstroke with 235k on it? I don't believe you.
Still drive my 2006 F250 Amarillo every day, 300k miles on her ❤
@@dannysdailys lol, I know right? As unbelievable as it sounds, it's true. I pretty much drive it every day.
It wants to live. Cab swap!
Im going to say the truck likely had a very expensive recovery and tow bill the owner could not afford, and as a result lost possession. That is an amazing score and will definitely benefit your business financially.
Great video! I love the engine teardowns, but this was fun to watch as well. It looked like there was plenty of good old Midwest rust under that truck, amazing that it survived whatever happened to it as well as it did.
Best 6.0L powerstroke in the country is in a rolled truck that has been sitting for a decade. 🤣
He's got a problem and I'm here to enjoy the fruits of it.
100% he's going to cab swap it.
I hope so, plus a new interior.
A car guy working at a shop like this is like a drunk working at the brewery.
Hopefully return it to stock height as well!
Those pipes scream redneck. The previous owner could get a woman pregnant by just kissing her.
Incredible score. The 2005 6.0 I drive was purchased back in 2010 almost the same exact miles as this thing. I am in complete agreement with @DavidsGuns by doing a cab swap. You have a beautiful gem that should not go to waste.
Can swap. Good idea. My diesel shop charges about 1 1/2 to pull the cab and a couple to put back on.
Sweet find!! I understand you don't have time for more project but this truck could be saved if the frame is not bent
Can be saved and worth saving are not synonymous. For him time is money, and he can earn a decent amount per hour to buy one that’s already good.
@@rydplrs71yea, but good rebuilds are money makers on UA-cam. He can make more restoring that truck from ad revenue than his shoo would bring in scrapping it.
@@americansmark I have to choose what cars I want to film, what I want to repair off camera and what gets parted out. Cab swaps involve a vin, which even if you can prove the truck has 89k, the firewall and thus title won’t match, and even though I *suppose* I could swap the vin, being a dealer and doing that kinda thing isn’t worth the risk.
If this truck was stock and not rusty I would try some nonsense but it’s too far gone for the risk.
@@I_Do_Cars that's fair. You know your business far better than us we do.
@@I_Do_Cars Great point. The moment you mentioned the VIN, I immediately thought of my own case in IT (the serial number / service tag on rackmount servers). Those things matter, for many different reasons. Admittedly in my space there's varying degrees of pain folks endure in our 'gray market,' but in yours there are actual *laws* governing how painful some of these procedures are. Totally different level of pain point.
Have a safe rest of your week, and looking forward to Sat. o7
why do i get the feeling that truck was rolled cause the owner was being stupid with it..... i mean lifted and the silly stack crap generally points to idiot behind the wheel.
Definitely. I wouldn’t expect the engine or transmission to be very healthy after that owners shenanigans either.
Big diesel truck, big lift and tires, big front bumper, big ridiculous exhaust stacks…. seems to me like maybe the previous owner was trying to compensate for something 😂

@@FishFind3000 he probably didn't own it long enough to screw it up that bad, mechanically... thankfully lol
Don’t part it out! Can swap then sell it, but first remove the ridiculous lift kit and stacks
but some good ole boy will be willing to pay top dollar for the tacky stacks and over kill lift. it'll say good ole boy from having to hillbillie engineer one out of bedframe rails, bailing wire. Eric just needs to throw train horns on it, it'll easily fetch $30k from some redneck
I have one of those infamous 6.0 powerstrokes in a F-250 KR. If you delete the EGR and put in head studs they are great trucks. Fluids, filters and a preemptive water pump at 250k is the only work I’ve had to do during it’s 270 K of commercial towing life
Man when It did fire up it was like nothing happened. I might just find a new body if the frames good and bullet proof it while I’m in there
Nice change of pace! Definitely would love to see more!
I want to see more videos of you working on your projects. Your attention to detail on fixing things that were done wrong is impressive.
those pipes lol...i'm surprised there aren't fake bollocks hanging from the trailer hitch. nice summer haircut btw
I called it a vintage brodozer... It survived the crusher by sitting around in a lot. Someone thought they were real cool, and when that truck rolled over the engine was turned into a mini time capsule.
Maybe the truck nutz got ripped off in the accident 😫😂
@@volvo09 I found a rolled ‘89 Mustang 5.0 at a junkyard about 15 years ago, it also only had like 90,000 miles on it and looked like it was probably immaculate before it was wrecked. I pulled the rear end out of it and swapped it into my ‘90 5.0. Someone else had already pulled the engine. Even at the time it was pretty rare to find one of those cars with low miles and in good shape. Someone’s former garage queen…
I'm really shocked that it fired up! Yes, you need more projects!
I am impressed! Well scored, you will be able to sell most of the parts and sure hope you do a follow up video of this vehicle. Love your channel and have a great day!
Let VTuned/23rd Garage/Motorhead_Garage gang fix it... I'm sure they'll figure it out and you can split the profit and get it back on the road 🥳
put a new cab on that
Frame rack first then new cab
@@jmistret419 true
Will need a cab and some head studs, and that lift is trash. That said, someone should want it, even if it's 6.0L. I can't imagine why it would sit for so long with such fixable issues.
@@AkioWasRight Cause nobody wants them.
@@AkioWasRight they probably never put it up for sale, it looks like it sat in a barn or something
My 2004 F340 6.0 with the Zf6 manual transmission has been the best truck I’ve ever owned, I got it from the original owner with around 360,000 miles and it just crossed over 400,000. Every single thing on it works and it’s fun to drive, tows awesome too and I’d drive it anywhere, I drive it every single day. I’ve done some repairs to it and I am religious about maintenance such as oil and fuel filters but I’ve never done any headgasket work or other major stuff. These trucks are awesome to me because they’re like a modern Highboy, just enough amenities to make you plenty comfortable but not too complicated, and in my opinion pretty easy and cheap to work on.
You are correct about how people can break anything despite how well made it is, I have owned many different types over the years and each has its own merit. I have had GM, Ford, Volkswagon, Nissan, Subaru, Landrover and now a Toyota Hilux. I do my best to look after and maintain them carefully and get reliable service in return.
.....and why am i not here🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice hairs cut tho
It was in such good shape partly because the owner/operator rolled it before he could "improve it further.
Sell it complete to someone who wants to cab swap.
Totally! Find a worse wreck as the cab donor, sell as a project “kit” and part out the rest of the other one.
Cab swap ,Please!!!,not a Ford fan ,but that will be an awesome truck when you get done!This one is worth more whole than parts, you can't touch a new vehicle today like that.
get a new cab....that is worth some money fixed up more then parts
Eric, this would be an amazing PROJECT!!! Find another cab……. It would be great!
It was only slightly rolled. Ha! You have to do a cab swap. It'll get tons of views.
Awesome video, Eric. Please do more of these if you have the time.
You strike me as a good moral man with convictions. I think the Good Lord smiles down on good people that purposefully and intentionally work hard to not hurt others, mistreat or abuse them. You just strike me that way that you are a good man. Good things do happen to good people, and even when bad things do come around once in a while good people like you just take them in stride. Like I say the impression I have of you says you deserve this amazing break because when you are fair and honest with others, and do to and for them as you want to be treated it comes back in abundance. God bless you, your channel and your business. Keep moving along in life with no regrets. Bad may come, but I believe the good will be much more abundant and over take the bad making it just an unpleasant memory! A++++ all the way around! BTW I subbed on this video! Impressed!
Good ol powerbroke! I paid my bills and kept food on the table years ago working on these.
Id agree with a cab swap. You know you want to. Dont make me double dog dare you. Check frame for damage and youll be golden. That lift kit gives me home made vibes...
Love these car videos! Do more!! I like the engine tear down videos, but you are also really great at the car videos, too! Really loved the Miata videos, the Mystic Mustang, the recent Silverado video.
CAB SWAP!!! DO IT... PLEASE!!! This is a GORGEOUS truck with LOTS of potential!! This truck is to beautiful to just part out... except maybe the 6.0 could be swapped for a 6.4 or even better a 7.3! It just needs a new cab. C'mon you KNOW YOU WANT TO DO IT... plus it would make great content, and a pretty profit all wrapped up in a blue oval lol.🙏💜
It's fun seeing different aspects of your business. Makes me wish I had gotten into this type of business, never had even considered it before. Keep them coming!
I am not surprised this thing started up. I've seen 20 plus year old heavy equipment fire up the same way. It doesn't know if it was running yesterday or 20 years ago
These sorts of videos give us a different insight to the whole salvage process, sure we all love a good engine teardown. This also brings a great variety to your channel. 😎😎
I like your channel but what is wrong with you starting an engine with 12 year old gas in the tank. You of all people should know that doing that is very bad for the engine. I am sure you have an engine test stand in your shop. Please restore my confidence in you.
That rig is MINT! Lot of possibilities there. Pretty awesome it powered up, started and ran. I liked this type of video. Thanks Eric.
Do it... You know you want to
Besides. It'll be a good company truck. Low mileage
Cab swap it! Do it, do it, do it!
Fresh fuel or 12 yr old fuel?
Fix it and drive it!! Diesel cant go wrong!
You call these ones strange? Honestly that burned out Miata video was one of my favourites! It's great to see you tear open an engine but the car project are the peak content for me! It's cool to hear stories of the purchases you've made!
Other than the obs Chevrolets and Gmc's I really like these older Ford deisel super duty trucks
Be cool to see a build series bringing it back to life
damn shame you cant repair the body. weld a new cowl on it and replace the carpet and reupholster it. But you could just see about ripping the body off the frame and replace the body.
I'm seriously impressed. I would never have thought that the engine would run much less run like that. I think you scored well on that risky purchase. Not a fan of "modified" trucks but I think you'll make good money even without selling anything from the interior or body. Great video.

Eric it's to good to break definitely cab swap it. Go on Eric you know you want too! 👍
From the startup, I can tell you have too low fuel pressure coming from the lift pump (underneath the driver's side frame rail).
If I was you, I would do the "Blue Spring" conversion for the fuel system. It's pretty cheap to do, and quite easy to install. I suggest this because it can save the HPFP (high pressure fuel pump). You can check with A-Rod on that.
Keep doing what you're doing, Eric! We're all here cause we like your style... and cheesy jokes! Have a great day, Sir! o7
Notice at the end of the second crank the oil pressure rose. Started instantly on the third crank.
6.0 power stokes don’t have a high pressure fuel pump. The injector uses high pressure oil to make high pressure tule within the injectors
Theres nothing wrong with the fuel system.
Oil system lost prime, needs to push air out of the system. Nothing more
I don't think so, more likely the high pressure oil system needs to be bled or it has a leak. The 6.0 uses high pressure oil to fire the injectors.
All this engine needed was base oil pressure then the hpop kicks in and can fire the injectors. As others have said, soon as the oil pressure switch activated it was going to try to start... And it succeeded.
If anything, from that startup especially if his guys got it running recently... There is a check valve issue probably an incorrect/aftermarket oil filter allowing the filter to drain back and require extended cranking to refill.
Blue spring update is always a good thing to do, but fuel pressure was never the problem for the extended cranking in this video.
That human is me!! My dad told me when I was young I could destroy an anvil.
You hit a home run on that one
Depends on the price.
You stole that thing
I see an RX-7 FB in the background :) love that car
Re-cab, they're every where
I think you got yourself a low mile 6.0 powerstroke convertible
Talking of indestructable cars, have you seen what the guys did on Top Gear (UK) some years back, to a Toyota Hilux? if not, I totally recommend you search it up. Also, like others, liked this wee off script video too!
The sound of that turbo goes hard. Dad used to have one when I was growing up. I miss it 😢
I too vote for a cab swap.
Man, the vin issue is a pain. I wonder how much of a pain it would be to get a gasser and just move the drivetrain into it?
Considering tuck prices it might be worth it. But a sun 100k mile 6.0 is going to sell for a nice $$$ too!
What a waste. That interior would be so sweet in my 400k obs.
My company rebuilds PSD all day every day and no matter what the previous owner has done they always start and run Dodge Cummins same but GM duramax not so much they don't like collisions or roll overs
How about telling us how much you paid….😀
If you read the comments just hit the thumbs up icon.
Upfitter switches in it, those are worth some $$ along with the tbc, the controller may need repaired though.
Shoot. A little Bondo and you're good to go 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. Who woulda thunk it? Started right up after 12 years sitting there collecting dust.
Erik: You said there are people who can destroy any vehicle built. When I was in the army I saw guys destroy tanks that were built to survive being blown up with a cannon! I agree with you any vehicle can be destroyed!
Say it with me:
Cab swap! Cab swap! Cab swap!. . . . .
I’m surprised the tow yard didn’t scoop that truck - likely all they had into it was the tow and storage. I used to own a tow yard and I’d have grabbed that thing right away. Easy to get a title for it, just a bit of paperwork and some waiting, and it’s yours.
Cab swap it.. It deserves a second chance
Talk to Vehcor and see how much to rebuild the cab. He fixed a rolled over truck a bit back. But, all those good parts probably make it better to part out.
Convertible truck, c'mon
Use your Lift Jacks to raise the roof and make a video of the carnage
This would make a great chassis for a retro build. I'd just strip the body off, keep all of the electronics, someone could drop on an old Truck body, or COE, easy project. Less time on your end parting it out completely...just an idea!!
Don't start a cab swap you still have a ford to finish from over a year ago
I’m not.
There could be a big update on that soon though…
If you can swap that truck (ton of work) you would have a $30,000 truck, but the 6.0 would need some easy updates, it probably has a leaky stc fitting already (it's building high pressure oil is why it takes awhile to start).
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
90K was just around the time mine started to develop constant issues... Two turbo replacements, fuel spring, alternator, two FICM's and transmission problems. Head gasket went at 130k. All with perfect maintenance.
If you said you'd give me 10 of those trucks or one 5.9l Cummins... I think you know what I would pick.
I want the radar detector. Built ford tough baby
Oh the good old days....... egr at 6k miles, two HPOPs in the first 120k, egr cooler, head studs.......turbo, Injectors, FICM, IPR, .........yep loved spending every penny on the 6.0 PSD bought new in 03. Met the engineer that designed it and admitted it was rushed to market
Fantastic. You're killing me not getting this thing on the road. I feel like you're slaughtering the favorite cow. Business comes first, you have to do what you have to do. 😢
YES, Every brand can have a LEMON OR 1,000 LOL. But generally MAINTENANCE IS THE KEY FOR A LONG LASTING ENGINE & DRIVE TRAIN.
Also RUST PROOFING IN OUR SALT/RUST BELTS IS A MUST TOO SAVE YOUR VEHICLE.
GREAT VID. AS ALWAYS & DAMN GREAT HISTORY BEHIND THIS TRUCK YOU'RE GOING TOO " CAB SWAP " ? DO IT, YOUR FANS NEED THIS, SIR. MANY MANY VIEWS, I'M TELLIN YA.
6.0 The underdog of the Powerstroke world. Kind of reminds of Hardy's song 4x4. Call me crazy but that diesel deserves another chance. She's begging for it. 😊
you dont need another project? what? OF COURSE YOU NEED ANOTHER PROJECT! cab swap go brrrrr les goooooo! given how many of these things have a shot engine and trans swaping modules and engine w/ trans cant be that bad and you still keep the "parts" truck of it....
Cab swap and save this thing!
Those stacks are referred to as Aussie style turn outs, and imo were the best looking ones although the stacks phase in these superdutys is kinda faded away nowadays! I had a '00 f250 7.3 ECLB w\ dual 5" straight stacks and I loved that look, but this Aussie style looks better. The days of stacks being popular are gone now but they had their time like everything else. Lmao
Please save this thing. As others have said this will be a $35-40k truck put back together nicely especially w\ those low miles and keeping it a King Ranch interior. I'd buy it right now, as is if i had the $$. It'd be interesting to know what you bought it for....if you paid $3 -4k or less, you're doing great, imo! Wish i could find a deal like this!! Keep us updated plz @IDoCars
I'm brewing a donation, Eric. My 2004 Camry V6 is alllllmost to 400,000. No cat, no airbags, no heater, blah blah blah. But I have history. I'll send an email if it survives the next 1500 miles! Cool truck too!
No don't use it as a part's machine you have any idea how valuable that truck is at this point Even the functionings 6L My dad owns a 2009 Ford F250 with a 6L turbo diesel power stroke And the only problem with it is an EGR cooler
this is when you snatch the cab and bed off and throw on a 1978 F250 Crew cab and bed.......no more projects MY ASS!!!!!
Can you tear down a 96/97 4.6L 2v. Specifically these years since they weren’t performance improved. Love the channel!
Cab swap with an 1979 Ford F-250. either 4 door or regular cab...That engine isn't even broke in...DAMN ...Lol you found a Unicorn.. with that mileage on it...I'm not a Ford aguy but I think a 79 would be sweet setting on that frame. Cut a few feet out of the frame good to go...
its a fabtech lift I think its a 8" or yet maybe its a 6"
Well a couple things from the peanut galley I have noticed. A. Stay in your lane, you know why you placed the bid. B. It says you do cars (nothing about trucks) LOL. and finally C: Auto dismantler not you tube crazy cab swap can't get a title to drive channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still interesting though.
I have an 01 f350 lariat crew cab long bed 4wd with the V10 one owner. Bought it 3 years ago with 77k just hit 88k now. Banks torque tubes stainless headers, full stainless exhaust, Helix throttle body spacer, afe intake, already on it when I got it. Still looks like new.
I am in total shock...it turned over, and everything worked. If I could hit the like button forty-three times...I WOULD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would hit the like button a lot on this. Or any of your posts.
