As a tech, it doesn't matter what I'm working on. I only use Toyota's FIPG or "The Right Stuff" by permatex (who I think might have copied the Toyota formula.) Both are so good that they will seal well even if the surfaces are somewhat dirty, oily, etc. The Toyota sealer is way expensive and not nearly as readily available, so in recent years, I've primarily used "The Right Stuff" in the small caulking gun compatible size.
Why is it that Ford, or any of the other manufacturers for that matter, do not issue recall's for these obvious mistakes in design and engineering?! Customers pay $90k for a truck and have to put up with this?! Great channel and appreciate the info from you and AROD!! Sad that it is necessary...
what they said, money, and recalls are also mainly for something that can get you seriously hurt like an air bag recall or seatbelt recall, so if your truck is leaking oil ford's gonna think "well that's not gonna kill you" and theyre not gonna spend the extra money on that kinda recall, companies are only gonna recall something that will put them in a lawsuit
I have had my 17 F250 6.7 for 11 days. Just found oil leaking from the engine or lower oil pan. Thankfully the truck came with a 100,000 mile warranty or I’d be out a few thousand.
What a great channel this is. I have a 2016 450 and it has just developed a leak. A small one. It isn't even dripping on the ground yet. I only knew about it because my dog chased a cat under it and came out with an oil slick on his shoulders. I haven't discovered where it's leaking yet, but now I have a few ideas of where to look. Keep up the good work!
@@FlyingWrenches13 No Sir, I drive commercially hauling campers all over the US. I currently have a '19 F250 6.7 Powerstroke. Love it, but starting to look at the 450s!
I did a video on my channel replacing the lower oil pan on a 2015 Powerstroke. It’s crazy how many of these trucks we work on and you wonder why they did not get it right in the first place! Nice video man!
I wish I would have seen your channel a year ago. I made the mistake of trading my perfectly good 2002 F250 7.3L Powerstroke for a new 2016 F350 6.7L Powerstroke. Then last summer it started leaking oil substantially. The local Ford dealer initially diagnosed the issue as a leaking vacuum pump assembly. After teo months of waiting for parts, they made the repair and the day I drove it home, the leak was worse than it had ever been. Oil running everywhere after the 6 mile drive home. Puddles of oil, not just drips. After returning to the dealership, they then said it was the front cover leaking. The two repairs cost me over $4,000 and the truck was five months out of warranty. It only had 65,000 miles on it. Ford would not contribute one single cent to helping with this repair cost. Have been a Ford truck guy since 1973 but this is the last Ford I'll ever own. I appreciate all your excellent advice, wish I would have seen it sooner!
How in the heck do you have fewer than 6k subs!?! You give amazing advice and info to Ford guys. I'm a Ram guy, but respect your mechanical acumen. #subbed!
Hate that there's no recall or TSB on this. Thanks for the tip on the 2011 pan, I'm on my 2nd failure (first was at 33,000 kms, now the 2nd at 148,000 kms). Thinking the culprit is the CCV filter? Do you happen to have the PN for the 2011 pan? Would you recommend re-sealing the front cover as well while Ford has the oil pan off?
Quick question I’m new to diesels and I have a new 22 6.7 ps and I was curious where the new box is located and is there any maintenance that needs to be done on it?
I have the non filter ccv on my 18'. I have 115k on it and no pressure from the oil fill cap. Should I still change the ccv? Is there a different service interval for these as opposed to the filter tyep? Should i change it regardless to prevent an oil leak or keep going and keep checking for pressure? Thanks!
I had the same concern. When I was at about 110k a popular guy told me no pressure, it's fine. A friend of mine is in charge of 900+ trucks for ComEd and he told me I should change it asap. He recommended even if there is no pressure to change it no later than 100k miles. At 150k I had no leaks and no pressure. At my 150k oil change I used Hot Shot secrets stiction eliminator and my truck was making a weird noise and while trying to locate the noise I notice it had developed an upper pan seep. I changed the vent right away. It spilled a bunch of oil while removing it. I am not sure if that is normal with a good vent or only when it is done doing it's job. My recommendation would be to change it. I am not sure if the stiction remover caused the leak/seep or if it was the vent. Next time I will change mine before 100k to be safe. Good luck.
Hello Mayson, I have a 2019 F450 and I just had to have the Turbo replaced at 48,000 miles, The Tec mentioned that he saw some oil in the turbo housing ( I believe it was on the exhaust side) could this have been caused by a clogged crankcase filter?? Thanks Paul
Quick question, i saw your video about the CCV filter and tried to change mine. Its a 2017 but it looks like it has a sealed filter, you said it started in 2019. Is there any way a 2017 could have wound up with one of the sealed units?
So I just bought a new ccv box and hose today. I broke my old hose and have no idea if the box has ever been replaced. My question to you is, with these new updated boxes, how often do we change service/change them?
Great idea on the upper pan. I remember PTT filming that RTV video in my driveway 🤣. I agree with PTT that needed to be said. I was told day one at the dealership never use black rtv on diesels. I always had a tube of gray in my gun.
I have replaced just as many upper oil pans leaks on 2011 as much as any other year models because the gaskets get rocked hard and leak. When it comes to using silicone for sealing I have always used the 7.3 silicone because it’s just the best.
I’ve done some too, but most of the time they have 250k+ miles on them before they start leaking. I most certainly agree on the silicone though. Ta-31 is the way to go.
Is the CCV box / baffle change out doable without lifting the cab? My ‘17 6.7 leaks and I’m looking to get the pan done- thanks for these tips. At the same time I want to convert to the baffle - I saw your previous video and when I found the leak I changed the filter… still leaks. :(
Why dose my 2012 have the baffle not the filter box if it’s the old version. I’ve owned the truck for 9 years. And how could I tell if I have the o ring pan for sure. What are the cut off dates for the mid years.
I had leak at the vacuum pump, the bolts backed out. Put a new seal in with some locktite and she's good. I know it's a common problem and I actually saw it on RUclips, couldn't have been one of PTT AROD'S videos as well. 👍
Thanks for the tips,Tips, the 6.7 upper oil pan leaks,I have a 2016 f250 6.7,I have had my pan replace 1 time had it off 4 times,now going for the 5th time,this time now out of my pocket @2260.$,Im just now ordering the 2011 oil pan,going to use the Ta-31 selant.Thanks KF.
I just did my 2013 6.7 upper pan, but I don't have oil pressure. Confirmed no pressure sensor is fine, no oil movement into the filter. Was there a priming procedure I missed? I didn't have the correct engine hoist brackets, so I just rigged up something to hold it from the front case. Could that have damaged the oil pump?
Hey brother I just dropped off my 16’ for y’all to do this on. Since I’m paying for it can you please see about getting a 2011 pan for it? I’ll be happy to pay the up charge If you say it will fix it for good. This is the 4th re seal I’ve had but wanted to try y’all bc I know y’all are the best. I knew about the o ring pan on the earlier trucks but never knew it was possible to retrofit it. Thanks man
216,000 miles on my 2011 f250. Doesn’t leak or use a drop of oil between changes. I don’t like the plastic drain plug but change to a new one with every oil change. Does the new style CCV Box need changing every 50k or is it permanent?
hey Thanks for all the tips I have a question On a 2011 6.7 I have a oil leak that look like its on the top rear of the engine but I can't see were it is any Idea
Great tips. I’ve already replaced the turbo on my 2018 with the new superseded part. CCV filter is next. I’ll take your advice & get the newer all in one part. Fingers crossed I don’t need to replace the upper pan, since i’d have to figure out which kid i’m gonna sell to afford it. Thanks for putting this together.
I know this is a older video but my 22 with 33k miles is in the shop with a oil leak. I was changing my oil and found a leak on the engine above the filter. They just confirmed rear main seal leak, no excessive crank case pressure. Was have extremely hard down shift is tow haul from 3-2 and 2-1. After a few times in and they heard me say tow haul then they figured out about a TSB for exactly that. Reprogrammed my TCM and truck shifts way better now. They said it only would affect the tow haul mode but swear the truck shifts better all the way around. Anyway I think that hard shifting is what caused it to leak. When I say hard shifting I mean 20k pound trailer and feels like holy Jesus the transmission just left the conversation!
I have the original oil separator on my 2015 6.7. I don't have any pressure in system when opening oil cap but I do have a front or pan leak. Do I need to replace my original oil separator and if so can I replace it with the newer one. My dealer said my original doesn't have a filter in it either.
Thanks for the tips Bro. I have a 2015 F550 6.7l that I have a lot of oil coming out of the top engine valley like if it was shooting out of the turbo.
I will agree, I think the RTV with high crankcase pressures is asking for trouble. Somebody has said they went back to a gasket with the 2021s? Haven't confirmed with the manual yet.
It’s a press style gasket on the 21 upper pans, which I loved when I first seen them. Butttt they siliconed the front cover 🤦🏼♂️ it’s like they just want the engine to leak haha
Help! You mentioned in one of your previous oil leak videos that the 2011 - 2016 powerstrokes (I have a 2015 F350 V8 6.7L 4WD DRW) had a crankcase with no filter but that it could still pressure up? Was hoping this video would talk about that a little bit. I have small oil leaks, but like you said, I don't want to fix the leaks without first determining any issues regarding the crankcase. Can you write any recommendations regarding how I can determine if the crank case is the issue in my example and if it is, do I just replace it (I think i remember you saying it was sealed or something)? Any assistance is appreciated.
You can check your crankcase pressure by pulling the oil cap with the engine running. It shouldn’t have much pressure. A lot of the time the separator will become swole on the top when it becomes clogged.
my 2017 came with sealed box...small leak for a while and now finding out that it is $$ repair...the thing is I do not feel any pressure at the oil fill and was wondering if my sealed CCV needs replacing...if you have a leak due to the CCV box shouldnt you be able to detect pressure by putting you hand over the oil fill tube?..
I'm looking at purchasing a 6.7 2017 f550 dump 133k. It's leaking. If you replace the ccv will this stop the leak or do you have to reseal the front cover and oil pan? Or will it just leak alot slower?
If the crankcase filter is clogged, changing that will drastically slow the leak. It usually won’t completely stop. I’ve had several customers out of warranty that I replaced the crankcase filter and they never came back. I’m sure it still leaks, just not that noticeable.
I have a 2012 6.7 powerstroke that’s mysteriously leaking oil. Doesn’t become noticeable or drops oil level. But just enough to notice. Already replaced CCV and did oil change. Cleaned the bottom with engine degreaser see if it’s still happening. Seems like it is. Only on long drives tho
So does the new crankcase “filter” need to be replaced every so often or is it a lifetime thing that never clogs or wears out. I was thinking about a ccv reroute because of the filters getting clogged but maybe if I just switch boxes I won’t have to. What are your thoughts about a ccv reroute. Does it hurt the turbo or engine in anyway ?
Do you see any common issues with the ccv delete? I currently have the updated box but in order to install a full piping kit the ccv needs to be gone since the return line will no longer exist.
I have a 18 king ranch and it have an oil leak in the front of the engine and found the vacuum pump leaking and found the bolts backed out. Have you ever had that happen before?
Thanks for the Video! I’m going to Finally do upper oil pan on my 6.7 2014. Which has 200k. My question is Where exactly am I using silicone T-31? Am I using it all around the perimeter on top of the pressed In gasket or specific spots. Yes I’m planning to trash this 2014 oil pan and follow your advice and buy 2011 with pressed gasket. Do u have another video on this in detail? Much Thanks 🙏🏾
I would love to get the new CCV box that doesn't need filter replacement. I have a 2017 f250 6.7 powerstroke. Do you have the part number for the new box or a specific name for the new box?
My problem is not with the upper pan, but I have oil in the valley. I did a CCV delete a couple of years ago. I ran the hose over the top of the master cylinder, down to the frame and back to the rear axel to avoid the stink from the fumes. Well, over time and not tying the hose up properly, it developed a sag acted like a P-trap in a sink. This last winter I acted stupid and idled it excessively in the cold weather. When I tried to get back on the road again, i got about fifteen miles and it looked like i was fogging for mosquitoes. When i pulled over, the tail pipe was coated with and dripping oil. On the way home it stopped smoking. But i found that i had gone through 2.5 quarts of oil. Thats when I discovered the blockage in the CCV bypass hose. I also pulled off the hot and cold side pipes (Pusher) and they were both very oily. That's when I discovered the oil in the valley. I cleaned out everything, topped off the oil and took it for a drive. It's been working fine but im still getting oil in the valley. Im gonna sop up all the oil, degrease it and use some dye to find the problem. My question is, is it possible for oil to get into the valley through where the fuel pump mounts?
My 2017 has never leaked a drop of anything. All original, over 125k on it, and the only thing it ever drops is water when the AC is on. In fact, my only fear is the CP4 failing before I can install the disaster prevention kit. With an EGR delete, I expect the engine to be solid for a million miles or more. If it does start leaking I will keep this tip in mind though, thanks.
You seriously think that your engine isn’t supposed to leak ever? Seals leak eventually between 100-200k and that’s how it is on all cars doesn’t matter.
@@AndrewKidd14145 Ah, somebody who doesn't do maintenance. I have had Harley's go over 200k without seal failure (Evo engines). Had a Dakota or two with no leaks over 150k. Had two 1995 Rangers with no leaks. One was a 2.3L I4, one was a 3.0 V6. The I4 had 363k wheb a guy hit and flipped me (rolled twice). The other had 312k when a 700cc quad fell out of a truck and hit it so hard it bent a frame rail. So yes, you CAN prevent leaks. The bigger thing here is that nowhere did I say an engine never leaks or that it won't given enough miles. You inferred that on your own.
@@GuretoSefirosu I’m a tech, rubber gaskets sweat what you do doesn’t matter. It will leak at the mileages I say. Data from millions of other cars say so. You got lucky on those cars and got the good ones.
@@AndrewKidd14145 The only vehicle I own that has EVER leaked, is my Harley. This is due to a bad design. They use a metal ball that, when oil pressure stops, seats and is supposed to prevent the flow of oil from the oil tank (up by the rear seat) into the crankcase. The thing is, if ANYTHING gets between the ball and seat, the crankcase fills and it starts leaking opil through the crankcase breather. I have thought about putting a 90deg "off" valve in the hose between the tank and crankcase, but it terrifies me to think I'd forget to open it and ride off... Also, I just checked my 6.7 above and below. No wet spots or anything. 135k. Going in for the oil/filter change soon. Maybe I am lucky, but I go way beyond filters and oil. I do engine and cabin air, spark plugs when I had gas engines, transfer case, transmission, differential fluids, brake fluid, coolant (both of them on this truck) at regular intervals. I also try to clean the engine and panels that cover it. Looks good and prevents excess heat. Oh, and I run the HECK out of my trucks. I have been 5,000mi in the past two months! Letting them sit is what I believe damages them more.
Thanks for the tip on using the 2011 oil pan part. My Jan./2019 build has the non serviceable CCV box. Is there still a recommended replacement interval for this style CCV box? Have you found them to still clog up around a certain mileage?
I haven’t seen any without the filter clog. Once you have the updated box, you shouldn’t have to do anything else. That box will last the life of the vehicle.
@@FlyingWrenches13 Trying to clear up the mud in my mind: if the CCV box does not have bolts to take the box apart, this is the non-filter version, right? Mine is a 2017 build without bolts on the CCV box.
I need to know about a 2014 6.7 upper oil pan,this pan has a Silicon gasket all the way around the sealing surface,,is this what I need to stop my leaks,my trk is a 2016,and my pan has been off 4 times,each time I have gotten aprox.10,000 m between leaks, I do plan on using the TA 37 sealer.My trk.now has 106,000 miles.How will this 2014 pan work out for me,or do I need to look for the 2011 pan?
Loctite 509 on every gasket job. No leaks guaranteed ! Hard to separate the parts if you ever need to if you put too much though ! Used on all high end cars .
Thanks Fly. But that one problem I never had. Oil leaks. My problems We’re, 2011, 6.7 . Needed exhaust cooler replacement cost about 10,000.00 to fix. And my 2013, 6.7. Spun its main bearings at 28,000 miles. Ford wanted 25,000.00 dollars, for a generation 3, 6.7. So l traded both in for a 2022 f350 7.1, gas motor. And got a 2022 International CV, for my dump truck.
New subscriber. Our fleet is mostly Ford ( 6.0/6.4/6.7’s) International ( DT’s & Cummins ) and the 1st 6.7 out of 10 plus trucks Is leaking at front cover/upper pan. 35k. Full synthetic oil all around. Mostly the 6.7 has been good to us. Great video. May ask to have the 11 upper pan installed at our cost during warranty repair. Think they will oblige at our cost swapping to a pan with a seal ? Thanks
Has anyone tried loctite 511 anaerobic flange sealant on the later pans without the oring seal? It seems to be a good alternative as excess doesn't harden eliminating the possibility of clogged oil passages or pump screens.
Did Ford do a update for the old trucks for the CV filter? I looked and our 2016 doesn't have bolts. Looks like a sealed unit. But we got the truck 2020 with 21k and we didn't have the dealer do anything to it. Unless the prior owner did but at 21k unless he had an issue or one of the service trips they just did it for him. Idk
Can’t go wrong with a rod. He’s been working on my truck for years now. 200k and going strong on my 6.7. Having him put a dCR on my truck in January! When my pan starts leaking (it’s a 14) probably going to take this advice and try to find the 11 pan.
bad taste in the mouth doesn't come from the leaks. Bad taste in the mouth comes from not making stuff to prevent it and making it in a way that is so complicated and expensive to fix it. Leaking seam? 10 dollars for new silicone 2500 dollars to get to it and put it back together.
Love my powerstoke but seriously considering getting rid if it because of this isse. 46k miles and it is in the shop right now for another warrantied upper oil pan. On top of that the dealer never wants to repair it because they say its not leaking bad enough. Makes you feel great to spend 65k on a truck and the dealer tell you its “weeping” and they only fix “leaks”!!
Yeah I get that. Most dealers are doing that because there are sooo many of them leaking right now it’s hard to keep up. Once resealed properly though it shouldn’t leak again!
I looked at my CCV box and as best as I can tell it does not have a cover with bolts. Does this mean it is the newer box without a replaceable filter? My truck is 2017 F-350 6.7
As a tech, it doesn't matter what I'm working on. I only use Toyota's FIPG or "The Right Stuff" by permatex (who I think might have copied the Toyota formula.) Both are so good that they will seal well even if the surfaces are somewhat dirty, oily, etc. The Toyota sealer is way expensive and not nearly as readily available, so in recent years, I've primarily used "The Right Stuff" in the small caulking gun compatible size.
You're 100% right. the Toyota FIPG is the best. You will have dirty fingers for a week tho!!!!
Once I discovered the right stuff in the early 2000s, that's all I use on anything that I really need to be sealed well. No regrets
Exactly, it works because it’s urethane, not silicone.
Why is it that Ford, or any of the other manufacturers for that matter, do not issue recall's for these obvious mistakes in design and engineering?! Customers pay $90k for a truck and have to put up with this?! Great channel and appreciate the info from you and AROD!! Sad that it is necessary...
It’s all a money racket. Thanks man!
Well, who's going to stop them? Definitely not any politicians, and people keep buying them.
ummm ...... money

Because service by far makes more money than sales.
I have had my 17 F250 6.7 for 11 days. Just found oil leaking from the engine or lower oil pan. Thankfully the truck came with a 100,000 mile warranty or I’d be out a few thousand.

Thanks for the tips,Tips, the 6.7 upper oil pan leaks,I have a 2016 f250 6.7,I have had my pan replace 1 time had it off 4 times,now going for the 5th time,this time now out of my pocket @2260.$,Im just now ordering the 2011 oil pan,going to use the Ta-31 selant.Thanks KF.
I just did my 2013 6.7 upper pan, but I don't have oil pressure. Confirmed no pressure sensor is fine, no oil movement into the filter. Was there a priming procedure I missed? I didn't have the correct engine hoist brackets, so I just rigged up something to hold it from the front case. Could that have damaged the oil pump?
Hey brother I just dropped off my 16’ for y’all to do this on. Since I’m paying for it can you please see about getting a 2011 pan for it? I’ll be happy to pay the up charge If you say it will fix it for good. This is the 4th re seal I’ve had but wanted to try y’all bc I know y’all are the best. I knew about the o ring pan on the earlier trucks but never knew it was possible to retrofit it. Thanks man
You Are Right About using the CORRECT silicone on disel engs
Where can I get one of those metal prep wipes? Do you have a part number?
216,000 miles on my 2011 f250. Doesn’t leak or use a drop of oil between changes. I don’t like the plastic drain plug but change to a new one with every oil change. Does the new style CCV Box need changing every 50k or is it permanent?
Do you have part numbers and do you have to remove the engine to do an oil pan replacement?
hey Thanks for all the tips I have a question On a 2011 6.7 I have a oil leak that look like its on the top rear of the engine but I can't see were it is any Idea
Great tips. I’ve already replaced the turbo on my 2018 with the new superseded part. CCV filter is next. I’ll take your advice & get the newer all in one part. Fingers crossed I don’t need to replace the upper pan, since i’d have to figure out which kid i’m gonna sell to afford it. Thanks for putting this together.
Just delete the CCV all together. The block off kit is like $50 and comes with a vent hose. Never have another issue guaranteed.
Whoa good tip. If someone were to get rid of the ccv, would that hurt the turbo in anyway?
I have a 2012 that was built in 01/12 is it safe to say I have the upper oil pan with the built in gasket?
Does that upgraded ccv box need to be replaced at some point or not?
I know this is a older video but my 22 with 33k miles is in the shop with a oil leak. I was changing my oil and found a leak on the engine above the filter. They just confirmed rear main seal leak, no excessive crank case pressure. Was have extremely hard down shift is tow haul from 3-2 and 2-1. After a few times in and they heard me say tow haul then they figured out about a TSB for exactly that. Reprogrammed my TCM and truck shifts way better now. They said it only would affect the tow haul mode but swear the truck shifts better all the way around. Anyway I think that hard shifting is what caused it to leak. When I say hard shifting I mean 20k pound trailer and feels like holy Jesus the transmission just left the conversation!
Is the early ccv box prior to 17 without filter the same as the 20 box without the filter? Or better baffles in the late one?
I have the original oil separator on my 2015 6.7. I don't have any pressure in system when opening oil cap but I do have a front or pan leak. Do I need to replace my original oil separator and if so can I replace it with the newer one. My dealer said my original doesn't have a filter in it either.
Thanks for the tips Bro. I have a 2015 F550 6.7l that I have a lot of oil coming out of the top engine valley like if it was shooting out of the turbo.
Love your videos! You never mention at what mileage intervals (generally) do these oil leaks begin to appear ? Thanks
Thanks. I have this leak issue and will upgrade my 2017.
Thanks for another 6.7 video I like my early 12 a little more
I will agree, I think the RTV with high crankcase pressures is asking for trouble. Somebody has said they went back to a gasket with the 2021s? Haven't confirmed with the manual yet.
It’s a press style gasket on the 21 upper pans, which I loved when I first seen them. Butttt they siliconed the front cover 🤦🏼♂️ it’s like they just want the engine to leak haha
I have a 2017 F350 DRW. I believe the 2020 upgraded non-filter oil separator part number is PC3Z6A785A. Is this correct?
Help! You mentioned in one of your previous oil leak videos that the 2011 - 2016 powerstrokes (I have a 2015 F350 V8 6.7L 4WD DRW) had a crankcase with no filter but that it could still pressure up? Was hoping this video would talk about that a little bit. I have small oil leaks, but like you said, I don't want to fix the leaks without first determining any issues regarding the crankcase. Can you write any recommendations regarding how I can determine if the crank case is the issue in my example and if it is, do I just replace it (I think i remember you saying it was sealed or something)? Any assistance is appreciated.
You can check your crankcase pressure by pulling the oil cap with the engine running. It shouldn’t have much pressure. A lot of the time the separator will become swole on the top when it becomes clogged.
When you do a delete on a 19’F-350 is it good to delete the crankcase filter?
does the oil pan replacement trick work on a 2014 f250 powerstroke turbo diesel
my 2017 came with sealed box...small leak for a while and now finding out that it is $$ repair...the thing is I do not feel any pressure at the oil fill and was wondering if my sealed CCV needs replacing...if you have a leak due to the CCV box shouldnt you be able to detect pressure by putting you hand over the oil fill tube?..
I'm looking at purchasing a 6.7 2017 f550 dump 133k. It's leaking. If you replace the ccv will this stop the leak or do you have to reseal the front cover and oil pan? Or will it just leak alot slower?
If the crankcase filter is clogged, changing that will drastically slow the leak. It usually won’t completely stop. I’ve had several customers out of warranty that I replaced the crankcase filter and they never came back. I’m sure it still leaks, just not that noticeable.
That old 7.3L Silicone is AMAZING Stuff.
Best, toughest Silicone made!!!
Just came across your channel. Great videos simple short and to the point! Great work keep them up. Thinking about getting me a 6.7 my self 13 model
With the education of experience.
I recommend. Don’t do it.
Stay with gas motor. If you are buy a ford truck.
@@garylong7096 I never buying another diesel. Too many problems and Ford will not correct them.
I have a 2012 6.7 powerstroke that’s mysteriously leaking oil. Doesn’t become noticeable or drops oil level. But just enough to notice. Already replaced CCV and did oil change. Cleaned the bottom with engine degreaser see if it’s still happening. Seems like it is. Only on long drives tho
Question if I need to get my truck diagnosed can a take it to ford and they diagnose every oil doing the diagnostics
So does the new crankcase “filter” need to be replaced every so often or is it a lifetime thing that never clogs or wears out. I was thinking about a ccv reroute because of the filters getting clogged but maybe if I just switch boxes I won’t have to. What are your thoughts about a ccv reroute. Does it hurt the turbo or engine in anyway ?
Ccv reroute is the way to go honestly but swapping out the box for the one without a filter will keep you from having to worry about it also.
Have the addressed this on the newer model 6.7’s?
Do you see any common issues with the ccv delete? I currently have the updated box but in order to install a full piping kit the ccv needs to be gone since the return line will no longer exist.
Zero issues, only positives. Get rid of it. If you have the sensor on the tube, keep it plugged in.
Will a 2011 pan work on my 2017 6.7
I have a 18 king ranch and it have an oil leak in the front of the engine and found the vacuum pump leaking and found the bolts backed out. Have you ever had that happen before?
Thanks for the information! Glad I found you, bro! Do you have the part number for the CCV upgrade? Will it fit in my 2014 F350 ?
Thanks! 14 model already has one without a filter.
Thanks for the Video! I’m going to Finally do upper oil pan on my 6.7 2014. Which has 200k.
My question is Where exactly am I using silicone T-31?
Am I using it all around the perimeter on top of the pressed In gasket or specific spots.
Yes I’m planning to trash this 2014 oil pan and follow your advice and buy 2011 with pressed gasket.
Do u have another video on this in detail?
Much Thanks 🙏🏾
Only need to apply silicone to the places where more than 2 pieces of metal seal. Where the front cover and rear cover meet the block.
I would love to get the new CCV box that doesn't need filter replacement. I have a 2017 f250 6.7 powerstroke. Do you have the part number for the new box or a specific name for the new box?
FC3Z-6A785-F
Do you know the definetion of permanent? Because the 11s leak also and will leak when they want to. Will you gaurantee forever?
My problem is not with the upper pan, but I have oil in the valley. I did a CCV delete a couple of years ago. I ran the hose over the top of the master cylinder, down to the frame and back to the rear axel to avoid the stink from the fumes. Well, over time and not tying the hose up properly, it developed a sag acted like a P-trap in a sink. This last winter I acted stupid and idled it excessively in the cold weather. When I tried to get back on the road again, i got about fifteen miles and it looked like i was fogging for mosquitoes. When i pulled over, the tail pipe was coated with and dripping oil. On the way home it stopped smoking. But i found that i had gone through 2.5 quarts of oil. Thats when I discovered the blockage in the CCV bypass hose. I also pulled off the hot and cold side pipes (Pusher) and they were both very oily. That's when I discovered the oil in the valley. I cleaned out everything, topped off the oil and took it for a drive. It's been working fine but im still getting oil in the valley. Im gonna sop up all the oil, degrease it and use some dye to find the problem. My question is, is it possible for oil to get into the valley through where the fuel pump mounts?
My 2017 has never leaked a drop of anything. All original, over 125k on it, and the only thing it ever drops is water when the AC is on. In fact, my only fear is the CP4 failing before I can install the disaster prevention kit. With an EGR delete, I expect the engine to be solid for a million miles or more. If it does start leaking I will keep this tip in mind though, thanks.
You seriously think that your engine isn’t supposed to leak ever? Seals leak eventually between 100-200k and that’s how it is on all cars doesn’t matter.
@@AndrewKidd14145 Ah, somebody who doesn't do maintenance. I have had Harley's go over 200k without seal failure (Evo engines). Had a Dakota or two with no leaks over 150k. Had two 1995 Rangers with no leaks. One was a 2.3L I4, one was a 3.0 V6. The I4 had 363k wheb a guy hit and flipped me (rolled twice). The other had 312k when a 700cc quad fell out of a truck and hit it so hard it bent a frame rail.
So yes, you CAN prevent leaks. The bigger thing here is that nowhere did I say an engine never leaks or that it won't given enough miles. You inferred that on your own.
@@GuretoSefirosu I’m a tech, rubber gaskets sweat what you do doesn’t matter. It will leak at the mileages I say. Data from millions of other cars say so.
You got lucky on those cars and got the good ones.
@@AndrewKidd14145 The only vehicle I own that has EVER leaked, is my Harley. This is due to a bad design. They use a metal ball that, when oil pressure stops, seats and is supposed to prevent the flow of oil from the oil tank (up by the rear seat) into the crankcase. The thing is, if ANYTHING gets between the ball and seat, the crankcase fills and it starts leaking opil through the crankcase breather. I have thought about putting a 90deg "off" valve in the hose between the tank and crankcase, but it terrifies me to think I'd forget to open it and ride off...
Also, I just checked my 6.7 above and below. No wet spots or anything. 135k. Going in for the oil/filter change soon. Maybe I am lucky, but I go way beyond filters and oil. I do engine and cabin air, spark plugs when I had gas engines, transfer case, transmission, differential fluids, brake fluid, coolant (both of them on this truck) at regular intervals. I also try to clean the engine and panels that cover it. Looks good and prevents excess heat. Oh, and I run the HECK out of my trucks. I have been 5,000mi in the past two months! Letting them sit is what I believe damages them more.
@@GuretoSefirosu you’re a good owner!
Might be a long shot but do you know of a repetitible mechanic in the Texarkana area that? Could fix my 20? 16? F250 upper oil Pan leak?
Can I used the 2011 oil pan on a 2018 6.7
Thanks for the tip on using the 2011 oil pan part. My Jan./2019 build has the non serviceable CCV box. Is there still a recommended replacement interval for this style CCV box? Have you found them to still clog up around a certain mileage?
I haven’t seen any without the filter clog. Once you have the updated box, you shouldn’t have to do anything else. That box will last the life of the vehicle.
@@FlyingWrenches13 Trying to clear up the mud in my mind: if the CCV box does not have bolts to take the box apart, this is the non-filter version, right? Mine is a 2017 build without bolts on the CCV box.
@@claytonlehman4628 if it doesn’t have bolts then it is the non serviceable one.
@@FlyingWrenches13 thank you!
Great video! Yeah the new style 2020 CCV box is empty. I took mine apart and looked inside. A neat piece of engineering.
Thank you!
What’s the part number?
Will the ccf blow the seal out of the turbo
I need to know about a 2014 6.7 upper oil pan,this pan has a Silicon gasket all the way around the sealing surface,,is this what I need to stop my leaks,my trk is a 2016,and my pan has been off 4 times,each time I have gotten aprox.10,000 m between leaks, I do plan on using the TA 37 sealer.My trk.now has 106,000 miles.How will this 2014 pan work out for me,or do I need to look for the 2011 pan?
You should be able to use a 2011-2012 pan so that you won’t have to use silicone again.
I have a 2019 and I'm getting my oil pain replaced with a 2011 pain what else should I be doing HELP ..
2016 350 constantly hot oil smell. Had he upper and lower pan changed 2 weeks later same thing !
Loctite 509 on every gasket job. No leaks guaranteed ! Hard to separate the parts if you ever need to if you put too much though ! Used on all high end cars .
How many 2017+s have you done this on? They look identical, but my local Ford tech told me it would be a bad idea.
Enjoyed the video, got yourself a new subscriber :) Where is y'alls shop located at?
Does my 2015 F450 CC have a crankcase filter..? I know it doesn't have a Cabin Air Filter..
ThanX..
Average price to get it fix ??
Thanks Fly. But that one problem I never had. Oil leaks. My problems
We’re, 2011, 6.7 . Needed exhaust cooler replacement cost about
10,000.00 to fix. And my 2013, 6.7.
Spun its main bearings at 28,000 miles. Ford wanted 25,000.00 dollars, for a generation 3, 6.7.
So l traded both in for a 2022 f350
7.1, gas motor. And got a 2022
International CV, for my dump truck.
Do you work on cummins, say a head gasket needs replaced? I live an hour north of your shop and don't trust anyone in my local area
New subscriber. Our fleet is mostly Ford ( 6.0/6.4/6.7’s) International ( DT’s & Cummins ) and the 1st 6.7 out of 10 plus trucks Is leaking at front cover/upper pan. 35k. Full synthetic oil all around. Mostly the 6.7 has been good to us. Great video. May ask to have the 11 upper pan installed at our cost during warranty repair.
Think they will oblige at our cost swapping to a pan with a seal ? Thanks
Maybe. Just depends on how close you are with the dealer. Thanks for subscribing!
Does this 2011 pan fit a 2016 6.7
Good video. Very informative
Can you swap a 2011 upper oil pan with a 2019? Just had my first leak at 32k so it’s warranty this time but would like to swap if possible. Thanks!
Yes sir! It will bolt right up.
Has anyone tried loctite 511 anaerobic flange sealant on the later pans without the oring seal? It seems to be a good alternative as excess doesn't harden eliminating the possibility of clogged oil passages or pump screens.
Did Ford do a update for the old trucks for the CV filter? I looked and our 2016 doesn't have bolts. Looks like a sealed unit. But we got the truck 2020 with 21k and we didn't have the dealer do anything to it. Unless the prior owner did but at 21k unless he had an issue or one of the service trips they just did it for him. Idk
Can’t go wrong with a rod. He’s been working on my truck for years now. 200k and going strong on my 6.7. Having him put a dCR on my truck in January!
When my pan starts leaking (it’s a 14) probably going to take this advice and try to find the 11 pan.
Where is Aarod based out of.?
@@deucenine4life813arod is in detroit michigan area. he’s worth the drive, especially for a big job. if you want an intro lmk
bad taste in the mouth doesn't come from the leaks. Bad taste in the mouth comes from not making stuff to prevent it and making it in a way that is so complicated and expensive to fix it. Leaking seam? 10 dollars for new silicone 2500 dollars to get to it and put it back together.
Love my powerstoke but seriously considering getting rid if it because of this isse. 46k miles and it is in the shop right now for another warrantied upper oil pan. On top of that the dealer never wants to repair it because they say its not leaking bad enough. Makes you feel great to spend 65k on a truck and the dealer tell you its “weeping” and they only fix “leaks”!!
Yeah I get that. Most dealers are doing that because there are sooo many of them leaking right now it’s hard to keep up. Once resealed properly though it shouldn’t leak again!
Just to verify I can put a 2011 Upper pan in a 2017 f250?
Where can I buy a 2011 upper oil pan?
Does the 2011 fit on a 2014 f350?
I looked at my CCV box and as best as I can tell it does not have a cover with bolts. Does this mean it is the newer box without a replaceable filter? My truck is 2017 F-350 6.7
If it doesn’t have any bolts then yes it’s the updated ccv with no filter in it.
My 2016 f250 was dripping oil from the valley is been 5 days and is not oil around, and another thing was the dealer overfilled with oil
To replace the upper oil pan what shop manual do you suggest to get ??
You shouldn’t really need one but if your going to use something, PTS, Mitchell, or prodemand will work.
