      Unfortunately that is true but it's not necessarily Ford's fault. Thank the US Gov for the emissions BS that forced them to re-invent the wheel. The 7.3 would still be selling like gang-busters if it was still allowed to be made.

      I just bought an f250 2003 7.3, very well taken care of no rust highway driven 330k miles. Runs like a champ, I am not doing shit to it but maintaining. I'm hoping I can save some money in the long run. If I could though a 6.0 Dave built would be bad ass I bet.

    We bought a 2003 Excursion with one of the first 6.0L Powerstroke engines. It had the triangular shaped EGR cooler which was a lot better than the round one that came out later that year and would leak coolant into the intake. We put over 265,000 miles on it without issue but we serviced at Ford without fail. They even replaced all the injectors at 100,000 under a recall but really, the truck was bullet proof.

  • @matthewmoore757
    @matthewmoore757 Місяць тому +44

    I know this is not recommended on a modern engine because it will destroy the emmisions systems. But on some old engines back in the day especially in competition where these engines are heavily stressed. one trick we used to do is dump some two stroke oil into the fuel. Even on a four stroke engine. The added lubricity actually lowered cylinder temps and reduced friction. Things lasted a lot longer under those extreme conditions And the added lubricity in some cases increased horsepower. Do NOT do this to a modern engine. You'll destroy your emissions system. All this talk about lubricity and fuel additives just reminded me of that trick from back in the day. Just thought I'd share. 🙂

    • @bobber55
      @bobber55 Місяць тому +8

      @matthewmoore757 I agree with you. Back in 2008 I ran used vegetable oil in my 1993 6.5. I thinned it 30% with kerosene. My truck ran so much better quieter and better throttle response on my fuel recipe.
      Yes I did strain it, filtered it both with a standard filter and a water blocking filter.
      I credit the extra lubricity for the better performance I experienced.
      The only reason I stopped using vegetable oil was because it was getting real cut throat out there.
      My exhaust did smell somewhat like french fries.
      The only thing I had to add was diesel-kleen cetane boost.

      Yeah I see guys dumping all their old motor oil in their fuel tank on the 7.3s. Runs great no issues.

Then you’re set

    • @matthewmoore757
      @matthewmoore757 Місяць тому +3

      @@formula19 Yeah, i wouldn't personally do that. Because some issues you can have with burning old oil, is the carbon deposits. You can get a build up of it around your piston rings and valves, and you can stick a ring or burn a valve. It's not the best idea. Old motor oil likely has some fine metal particles in it too. And soot. Not what you want running through a modern fuel system. On an older Diesel like an old Detroit or something like that, Go for it. Those old engines will eat just about anything. Modern Diesel engines are to darn fragile. Much of that can be blamed on the EPA though.

    Dave I have a 1995 international s1600 dump truck that has the ford 6.9 v8 non turbo the engine will start and run a few seconds and then shut down regardless of how much pedal you give it. Idle or higher rpm it runs about the same amount of time. The mechanical fuel pump and filters and water separator are all good and have been changed. The injection pump only has 1 electrical wire for the fuel shut off and it seams to be working , we even ran a 12 volt from battery to it incase it was losing power, but that didn't change anything eather. It is pushing fuel to injectors and injectors are passing pop test so it has to be something in the injection pump that's causing it to shut fuel off or suck air so that it runs out of fuel and shuts down. But then again it only runs a few seconds each time you try to start it and sometimes you have to try a few times. It has a stanadyne DB2 Pump on it. I think the fuel shut off is dropping out. Any thoughts on your end would be helpful as I hate to pay for a pump rebuild if not necessary central Georgia watcher of your videos.

    After hearing the customers concern, I would be very curious to see how the cylinder walls look on that particular engine. I’m willing to bet they look fine. I have worked on countless 6 liters over the years, and I’ve actually worked on maybe half a dozen that sound exactly like this one in the video. You can hear the injector clatter when cranking, indicating it is receiving sufficient high-pressure oil and voltage to the injectors to fire but obviously has low compression which is causing it to not start. The trucks that i have seen do this show about 180-200 psi of compression on all 8 cylinders initially and my trick has always been to remove glow plugs and add some atf or motor oil to the cylinders and just crank them over. Some trucks will start after 1 set of dead batteries others may take 3 sets. But once they are running the excessive crank case pressure is gone and the compression on all cylinders are back to normal range of 375-400psi. for some reason, I’ve seen it only on 05-07 trucks that sit a while and have even experienced it twice on 05-07 trucks that just had the head gaskets replaced. every truck that I have personally seen do it started eventually with enough cranking. Personally, I believe this truck is one of those cases after hearing the customer's concern. My idea behind it is the rings dry out over time and allow bypassing of compression into the crank case. I may be wrong on that theory. I am located in California Aswell and all of my examples are California trucks. Maby the hot and dry climate has something to do with it? Using this truck as an example, I would be curious if you’re able to determine what actually causes this issue on some 6liters!

    I loved the channel for the honesty and integrity. I realize one should be allowed to monetize their success, but peddling an unproven “secret sauce” for multiple times the cost of a competitor is a slimy thing to do. Prices are from websites (actually cheaper elsewhere) ignore shipping and tax. Your stuff 34c per gallon treated. Hot shots EDT 5c/gal (double dose 10c/gal). Archoil 11c/gal (double dose 22c/gal). Are you saying your stuff is worth three times the cost of a double dose of hot shots EDT?

    Do you guys over in the USA not have an option for premium diesel? Here in the UK, and across the rest of europe, most of the big hitters like Shell/BP/ESSO ect offer regular diesel and in addition to that also a premium diesel option. So Shell for example offer V Power in gas (petrol) and also diesel, a higher quality diesel fuel with an enhanced additives package to help keep your engine clean and improve its performance.

    The 6.9 IDI and 7.3 IDI were two of the best diesel engines ever designed in my opinion. Simple underpowered and built to last millions of miles with minimal maintenance. Once they got into the 6-liter junk 6.4 junk. Everybody I've met that's how to 6 l or a 6.4 either absolutely loves it or they say it was the biggest piece of crap they've ever owned in their life

    From my experience with 6.0 and owned plenty, dealt with a lot of issues, you really need to hooked up the block heater, get the engine nice and hot and spray wd40 or ether. The heat helps the 6.0s, it could be the piston rings are gummed up from not changing the oil as often as the truck sits. Plugging the block heater will help these trucks fire up easier. The 6.0 doesnt do well parked, they really like to be on the highways towing. As for the heads, cracking... many used to swap out the regular 6.0 heads, for the F550 6.0 heads

    All diesel is the same no matter where you get it the problem lies in the tanker trucks or the physical underground storage tanks. Most of the time tanker trucks don’t clean out the diesel compartment after dropping a gas grade wether it’s 87, or 91/93 they will fill the compartment with diesel on top of the gas that was remaining in there and will cause it to be a “hot load”

    My worse days as a mechanic was any day I had to tell someone the needed a motor and all people in my area want to afford is a junk yard swap and they NEVER understand that you are buying a used engine that may have issues or be wrong for the application and the vehicle sits and ends up costing more than the rebuild or more than the reman …. Hidden cost of going the “cheap” route it’s not always cheap and it’s almost never faster.

    the low pressure dummy gauge doesnt read the high oil pressure.
    getting reading on the high pressure oil, icp and ipr. do high pressure oil leak check - could be a simple standpipe and dummy plug. High oil pressure needs to be greater than 500 psi to start firing the injectors. IPR duty cycle not at 85% cranking otherwise its a high oil pressure leak
    check ficm main and logic power
    Motorcraft oil filter and cap
    check fuel pressure too
