I just bought a 06 F250 and I've been youtubing Googling random maintenance that I would feel comfortable doing myself this is by far the best video I have watched in regards to the Powerstroke thank you sir
The best 'How To' videos are done by DieselTechRon. Nothing against The Huxsters, this is a great video. DieselTechRon was a professional Ford mechanic who made hundreds of diesel videos before he passed away. Rest in peace Ron.
This is the first CLEAR video I've seen for this. Huge help good Sir! I may rub a before and after quick tips based on this video to help share the knowledge!
Your video came up after diesel tech Ron . I had zero problem for the 2 years I owned my 2005 king ranch 6.0. This January I had to spray it below 40 degrees. Now I think I’m ready to change them out myself. I have 230,000 miles so im going with the harness too. Thanks
Thank you so much for the video. I don’t have to replace my glow plugs yet but I thought you had to remove the valve covers to do so. But I will most definitely be doing it this way. Thanks again. And that truck looks super clean man!
You should get a medal for posting this! I just had to change one of mine, and you (barely) saved my sanity. Mine happened to be on the #4 cylinder, right where the dipstick and exhaust pressure sensor tubes converge. One small criticism, though, it would be helpful to show a better close up of where to wrap the wire around. It's hard to see up in there and if you don't know what to grab, you can break a connector. Don't ask me how I know this...
Same truck just an early 04 model with very bad start issue that is pointing to GPs as a potential culprit. In the 50s here in SW AZ & the thing not wanting to start then finally does after trying to kill the batteries. The PO is a local & he mentioned previous experience with a couple that went bad & having to pull the covers which sounded like WAY WAY more trouble than it was almost worth. Glad to see there is an alternate method that doesn't require engine bay disassembly & a step ladder. Fortunately the truck doesn't get used a whole lot so will resort to the block heater (be my 1st time using that thing) for now.
Sounds like he may have been talking about a 7.3? My dads 97 has them under the valve covers I believe. This was really a easy method to me, but that's just my opinion : ) GL with the job!
@@subydude88 The GPs of the 6.0 also under the valve cover. Replaced them by accessing through the wheel well. Ended up being a needless expenditure of $150 for the set + harnesses as it turned out the FICM was shot...diagnosed//confirmed that inexpensively (
Thank you for making your video...I like too watch these tutorials and see what other techs like to do. When I attempted to remove the hareness from the first glow plug(with special tool) the hareness broke because it was way too brittle. I also removed the inner fender liner instead of laying on top of the engine.
Just wanted to say great video! I currently have 1 bad GP. I plan to do this once it warms up. Technically it is spring even though we just got a foot of snow yesterday here in the NE.
Thank You for the Wire Trick that helped a ton over that stupid tool that was breaking mine. Wire got the rest out with out breaking them. I to was in the middle of changing the glow plugs through the fender wells and that is the way to do it. all 4 on passenger side easily accessible. On the driver the side removing the air box was easier for me to do the front two from the top and the back two from the fender well.
2:11 I had to look up "EBP sensor". You may have just helped me solve some long term issues with lack of power and a drop in fuel economy. I will be replacing the sensor and tube when I am in replacing the glow plugs. Thank you!
this as stated below was the clearest tutorial yet and when I have more time am going to tackle this myself this way . I have new harnesses and all plugs and stating to ohm check the new ones beforehand was good advice . I had already done that and found a bad one ! read 2.5 multiple times . who knows maybe it had been dropped ? .one question comes to mind maybe you've heard or asked in the past. why do techs and shops not go this route instead of thru the top
Good question and I wonder that also. I'm guessing the "time is money" thing. The biggest thing to me was working around the evap box and laying bent over in the engine bay. I'm willing to spend time going out of my way to make a job more enjoyable and less aggravating. GL with it!
Ordered both wiring harnesses, Ford OEM, and 8 new glow plugs, also OEM. Figure the Ford parts lasted this long. Having all sorts of problems with "new" parts on the re-build of my 87 Turbo Coupe.
Good afternoon. Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I replaced four of the glow plugs on the passengers side. I took the wheel well cover off and used the OTC tool. There was a lot of room to work with. I would not recommend trying to replace the glow plugs from the top.
In process of doing this on an 06 6.0. The first 2 are easy access but as you push forward it's easier to pull the air box. You're going to have to pull it anyway to route the harness as it connects just aft of air intake hose to the turbo. I broke all but 1 harness on the drivers side. Definitely buy a new harness.
The harnesses are a pain that's for sure. I'm pretty sure I did pull the air box you are correct. It's been so many years ago now but I believe you are correct it's easier to route the harness with it out.
Thank you for buying a Ford Powerstroke instead of a GM Duramax. You made the right decision. Then again, having the Ford over the GM is sort of self thanking.
Duuuuude, my plugs have been bad for over a year and I was just plugging in the block heater instead. Well today the breaker tripped in the middle of the night and the engine was too cold. This method made it soooooo much easier. Thank you so much for posting this, and if you ever find yourself in Utah, I’m buying lunch haha
Ben Forbes right on man glad I could help! I was having to plug mine in also, dreading this job but it was really straight forward. I’ll let you know when I’m in town 😎
The Huxsters damn I am so lost in a future diesel for summer so many options I'm always leaning on 6.0 but it's issues always throw me off and gas is ok but not enough power. How reliable stock, money will be tight as I'm 19 and will need a truck for work. I work in roofing and need a dependable truck. I can do some work on them like valves sensors and such, but when it comes to injectors valves gaskets and such. I don't have the tools or the time and mechanics are expensive.
Your video was the best information!! Would have taken longer and more time consuming any other way. Thanks for a great video and information! Always another way to do something.
Thanks for the tip, fender well is definitely the way to go. I will say, good luck getting those push plugs back in from the top side that hold the harness in place, but besides that, this was still easy. Mine were long overdue. Two winters of having to plug in the block heater.
Thx for good video I think my truck O5 is hydrolocked that will be big help to clarify why my truck won’t crank even with key bypass & new batteries ,with glow plugs out it should crank. Thx for tips
Can you just come do this for me please? I'm a little nervous but I did change out my alternator so.... wish me luck. Thank you for this video, best I've seen and hopefully good enough to help me through this. Lol 🙏
@@codyschleth8929 number 3 is the worst one on that side. Make sure you have a small magnet to help get the plug out. To be honest with you, go ahead and do all 4 of them. It's quick and easy.
@@codyschleth8929 just replaced the glow plug controller. I did it w/o removing the hot side pipe but would be easier to do with it out. easy job. Hardest part was getting the dirt off my hands when I was done.
Good question. Going from memory I feel like you could but I believe the front most busing was in the frame rail more further forward. Sorry it's been several years since it did the bushings also.
LOL I know that frustrated feeling. Sorry it didn't work out as well for you as it did others! Having done it both ways this to me seemed simpler and less back breaking. Plus I was able to do alot of cleaning while I was in there.
Thanks for taking the time to post this fix. Have a bad #5 on my 05 F350 and getting ready to replace it. Changing all of them makes sense. Best to replace the wiring harnesses? Thanks again.
An entire glow plug physically "falling" into the cylinder is impossible because it threads in an seats in the head. Maybe they're referring to the tip breaking off and they were fishing for that small piece vs having to remove the cylinder head?
The huxsters is right what can and has happened is the glow plug swells from heat and carbon bigger than the hole and most people force the plugs out which results in breaking the tip off, i use blaster and a pair needle nose vice grips and patience
Should have made the video after you put the fender liner back in. There's nothing "less frustrating" about those liners. Looks like someone put exhaust manifold gaskets on your engine. They probably left most of the wiring harness clips out when they had the liners out for that. There should be a lot more than 2 clips.
Evan after the job, I still feel it was way to go! Would do it again with no reservations. We're talking about a time difference of seconds and a frustration factor of 0 even if that was the case
Thanks! I know what you mean, I used to live in NH for a long time. I can't stand the rust. My father in law has a 1993 Chevy pickup that looks new. That thing would be a pile of dust if it was in New England lol!
Thanks very much! I spent a lot of time cleaning, it's a sickness but I enjoy it lol. I'm actually not sure who did the engine work prior to who I bought it from
When your glow plugs were acting up was it missing like crazy at idle and have a strong vibration when accelerating? That's what mine is doing. I had a code show up #5 glow plug but the code went away
Wasn't really missing, it would just struggle to start on a cold morning. Even at 35° it would struggle. Never missed when driving either but I would let it warm up for 10 min before driving. Sounds like you have some injectors on their way out or sticking
Bro holy crap....why isn't this more known? Well hey I couldn't tell much from the video.....but since you have head your head up in there can you tell me would it make doing injectors easier? Do you have more access to the top of the valve co er and assured easier access to the backbolts.
I'm not really sure, I don't come up with to many original ideas lol but this one was just kind of a no brainer to me! It was day and night easier this way. Injectors unfortunately would still need to be done from the top, not really a way around that
The Huxsters ..great video man I'll be trying this hopefully soon.Quick question: Do u know more about working on this truck? Im pretty sure its fuel pressure issues im having.I have the same truck,and color..(helluva shine and coat on your truck BTW)
I wanted to replace all my glow plugs but I’m not sure that’s the problem it starts up fine in the cold but after heating up it won’t start. Any advice?
Scan it for codes usually, hot no starts in 6.oh oh's is going to be the FPR sensor screen getting plugged up with debris. Could mean you have a contaminated oiling system (coolant leak from cooler) causing the sensor to get plugged up. Also make sure your diesel is good quality. You could also have a contaminated pump module which is located under the truck. Do you have the water in fuel message?
Because of your video, I was able to change my glow plugs in an hour and I am a woman :)) Thank you
Awesome glad it helped!
Damn is that a clean looking truck. Very nice.
Jpdst29 that’s what I was thinking. Super clean.
Thanks man! I miss it

Thanks a million bro. The mechanic told me you had to take off the valve covers. Glad I found your video. Cheers to you.
Ha! I'd run from that mechanic. He must be thinking of the 7.3's
Very nice clear explanation without unneeded filler... Thank you for pointing out the reasons for pulling the fender liner.
Absolutely glad it helped!

I am going to change glow plugs today. Thanks for the video.
I was dreading the back breaking nature of the engine bay access. Thank you Sir!
My thoughts exactly. Glad to help!

Clean looking truck. Im doing it this way on my 07' F-350.

Thank you VERY much
Is removing the tire really necessary im about to change glow plugs and harness on a 06 6.0 powerstroke that i bought 1 month ago im nervous as hell
No, removing the tire definitely is not necessary. It was just alot easier to do the job with it out of the way in my opinion. GL!
Should have made the video after you put the fender liner back in. There's nothing "less frustrating" about those liners. Looks like someone put exhaust manifold gaskets on your engine.

Definitely worth it!

The most common symptom is hard starts in cold weather
how did you know the GP's were bad? How do you test them? thanks for the vid.

Great video, I may tackle this on my own too, and I am also a woman! Thanks!

Bro holy crap....why isn't this more known? Well hey I couldn't tell much from the video.....but since you have head your head up in there can you tell me would it make doing injectors easier? Do you have more access to the top of the valve co er and assured easier access to the backbolts.
I'm not really sure, I don't come up with to many original ideas lol but this one was just kind of a no brainer to me! It was day and night easier this way. Injectors unfortunately would still need to be done from the top, not really a way around that
Whats the toque torque spec on tightening the glow plugs???
I honestly can't remember sorry!
Good stuff, thanks for the video
Yeah man!
The Huxsters ..great video man I'll be trying this hopefully soon.Quick question: Do u know more about working on this truck? Im pretty sure its fuel pressure issues im having.I have the same truck,and color..(helluva shine and coat on your truck BTW)
What brand did you use for the Glow plug harness
Harness and glow plugs were OEM Ford parts
Thank you Sir.
5 STARS!
Thanks!
How long should it take an experienced mechanic to replace all 8 using your method?
No clue honestly! I would think I shaved at minimum an hour off the job. The big thing to me though is it was 10 times less frustrating.
Epb senor wheres it located
Drivers side manifold
How tight do they need to go in????
I can't remember the torque spec off the top of my head sorry
I wanted to replace all my glow plugs but I’m not sure that’s the problem it starts up fine in the cold but after heating up it won’t start. Any advice?
Javier Tavarez I had the same issue before and it was a high pressure oil leak for me.
Scan it for codes usually, hot no starts in 6.oh oh's is going to be the FPR sensor screen getting plugged up with debris. Could mean you have a contaminated oiling system (coolant leak from cooler) causing the sensor to get plugged up.
Also make sure your diesel is good quality. You could also have a contaminated pump module which is located under the truck. Do you have the water in fuel message?
I 2nd the high pressure oil leak, had the same problem.
I ordered the new updated dummy plugs,a new stc and the IPR I’m going to change all that this weekend and see what happens

Will this method work on 2004 f250 ,6.0?
Yes sir!
I’ve never actually gotten a harness out without breaking it even with the tool
How the heck do you keep your truck soooo clean? That is the cleanest '05 I've ever seen! Thanks for the great video.
By being a neat freak lol! But, thanks I really appreciate it! Glad to help
So you do the same thing for the other side?
luis pena pretty much yup! Pass side you need to flip the vacuum canister up. Besides that same deal
