New 6.0 diesel owner here thank you for all this information. I am watching any and all your videos that have to do with the 6.0
Any issues so far ?
Bill's knowledge and recommendations are the most honest, straight forward and accurate.
We are working on a set of heads that will outflow the stock ones. Not just ported but new castings with better flow characteristics.
Honestly from watching videos on youtube especially Bill I've noticed that the issue with the 6.0 diesels isn't the vehicle itself it's the ownership! Sorry but to many ppl in this country have to much money and don't care bout what they have and just waste money. I recently bought a 2006 Ford F350 6.0L used and it's my baby I've I've put in so much work into it and I hope to put in alot more. I seriously enjoy owning my truck working on it and making it last as long as possible! I love your videos Bill I've learned so much from your channel I truly appreciate all your knowledge and wisdom!
"OWNERSHIP" SO TRUE!! I LIVE BUY...IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR TRUCK...IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
I know this post is several months old, but there is a saying I say to customers when they bring there vehicle in for work, "If you take care of your vehicle, then the vehicle will take care of you.". I tell customers that if you have a simple minor issue, bring it up and fix it. like a light bulb out, or whatever. if something is not right. get it fix right there and then. don't wait until more bad things start breaking.
Haha, no, the problem is most definetely with the VT 365
I agree with what you said! I too just bought a 2006 f 250 reg cab 6.0 with 39k on it! My baby! Hope to own it forever.
clys69 thats not true my guy the vt365 is more reliable than the 6.0l ford didnt tweak the 365 its international through and through, its also much weaker than the 6.0l hence why its more reliable just take the 365 and add more hp and tq and you have a 6.0l which is a major fault point cause the engine is pushing more power than it was originally designed
I don't even own a diesel truck but I enjoy learning from all of your videos. You convey the message very well.
Everyone that is thinking of buying or already have a 6.0 need to watch this. They are awesome trucks if maintained properly. Almost to 200k on mine with stock turbo, injectors and oil cooler the 3 main things everyone has break, no bullshit.
You are one of the few great people in this world that are trying to help people and at the same time keep them out of your shop. Yet you still love to help people even though its keeping money out of your pocket. Your a great man.
It's neat seeing all these 6.0 videos pop up on your channel. Just bought a 2006 F350 manual transmission about a month ago. Added an SCT Livewire TS and its been good to me.
i watch alot of your videos and they have helped clear alot up for me and what i can do for my truck and my6.0 and just wanted to say thank you alot i take plenty of notes keep up the great work you do !
Thanks for this specific fluid information video. I did not know this.
Good information. The unvarnished truth without fanfare about questions many of us Ford and 6.0 owners have
Really appreciate the unbiased information, good man.
Hi Bill,
Two weeks ago I was driving down the highway on my 05 F350 (62,000 miles) and the engine died. Tried to start it and cranks but no start. Had it towed to one shop but did not feel comfortable with the Mechanics there so took it home. Several mechanics told me the problem is 6.0 and I need to get rid of the truck as fast as I can. I watched your videos and with the help of a good powerstroke mechanic I think I will keep it. Thank you!
Glad to see this one updated, thanks!
I love this guy! Thank you so much for all your comon sense!
Rotella T-6 full synthetic 5W-40 and Archoil. 😎👍
I'm always looking for power that does not increase cylinder pressure. Like all boosted engine we have found that opening up the exhaust helps the power band significantly.
Thank you so much for giving your time and knowledge! Big help
Great Post Big Guy !
Hey Bill thank you for sharing excellent video
Dude. I
The 3Fs for 7.3L was posted over 5 years ago.
Dad has a 04 350 just hit over 200,000 never had any problems. We do construction so it doesn't get babied....delo oil all the way every 7500 miles. Definitely gonna have it in your shop sometime soon and have you get us over 500k!!!!!
this video was super helpful
iam a retire auto tech work on big diesel engines puerto rico usa dry dock we did maintenance on coast guard chips with 2 16 cylinder turbo diesel. will love to work with a person like you you know what you taking about and a great help even with experience people like me. great job i been learning you are a great teacher. i have my ford 2006 f 350 6.0 and the cam was hammer lifter came apart all the rolling pins destroy the oil pump housing on my garage at home i remove the engine by the front very easy. dont have to lift the body install stage2 rcd cam all the updates push rods,updated oil cooler every part is motorcraft felpro gaskets head gasket 220,000 psi swag performance head studs rated 220,000. i just finishing got all videos and photos i buy on e bay and yi save a ton of money completed job about 2,800 on parts wll love to work on this truck no especial tools needed got my tools thank you for this you deserve the credit.
The big thing is water condensing in the motor and fouling the oil, same for fuel tanks. As long as the truck is run periodically and allowed to warm up fully you should be able to stretch the time intervals. I would recommend oil testing if you have any reservations about your oil quality.
Thanks for the video very helpfull.
Yes especially if you plan on storing the truck.
Thanks man, I will try that.
Awesome video.
Have my oil change by A soul called diesel mechanic and and a week later my truck shut off truck shut off I checked the dipstick dipstick and it doesn't read any oil at all.
I went down Bought me some T6 Going to go to Ford and buy the Ford filter And rechange the oil myself
I would run straight veggie oil in a 6.0L. Some claim to do it but if things go sour there are some very expensive parts that will need replacing.
It is a common issue but Id check to make sure it was working correctly. Some times the tube going up to it will clog.
Hey Bill. I greatly appreciate all the knowledge you have passed on through your videos! I was curious about oil changing intervals. I'm constantly hearing different milages to change my oil, whether conventional or synthetic. I use amsoil 15-40 and would prefer to get my money out of it. What would you suggest? Thanks
Thanks for the info
Hi Bill. Love your videos! Thanks for doing them. I was just wondering at about what mileage should you consider not putting a synthetic like rotella t6 in the 6.0l if it's never had a synthetic in it before, or is that just a myth? I have an 03 F550 with 62k miles on it. Thank you!
If you are close by Id be happy to look at it.
This type of information can not be preached enough! Being in the dealership environment everything that is being said here is spot on! Great Job
yes bill now I got it it's alive again I spray some wd40 in the air intake and after several cranking start
next fuel filters change happen
I know how to fix it
Thanks bill
Hi Bill, great videos, I just bought an 03 with a 6.0 and although the video is older I wanted to know if you still hold Stanadyne as the fuel additive you would recommend. Thx!
They are great trucks. Id use half of what they recommend in every tankful. If you store the truck for long periods use it full strength.
Excellent!
Good video! Bottom line... Preventative maintenance is needed on every vehicle. I've used many different brands and I've come to conclusion that it doesn't matter which brand you use as long as your doing ''preventative maintenance''. Good point about using factory filters during warranty period ford ALWAYS tries to get out of warranty work.... Soooo, after that period use what you feel comfortable with just make sure u take care of your 3-F's. Keep up great vids!
No question and there are other filters out there that will work BUT they have to have the patent number printed on them (cost more) or they will not work correctly.
I have never used anything but Ford filters on my 05 f250. I have never run anything other than schaeffers 7000 15-40 synthetic blend in my truck except this last service, I put schaeffers 9000 5-40 full synthetic in it (Wisconsin, starts awesome down to -5 (coldest so far) without plugging in. cranks like you just shut it off). I've changed my oil at 17-18k every time (or every 3-4 weeks) and have run a few samples and they all come back looking like the oil is new yet, but I dump it anyhow. I'm shooting for 20k on the 9000. Every drop of fuel that truck has seen since I purchased it has had Schaeffers Diesel Treat 2000 Diesel Premium recommended amount in it, even in the -30/-40 deg f winter temps. I purchased the truck with 69,500 mi and I just turned over 160k. I have never had a fuel issue (still running original injectors tested good today) and the only oil issue I've had was the hipo pump at 94k. I love the schaeffers products and swear by them, along with the ford filters.
common oil pan leak is at the point where the pan takes the sharp turn from the rear of the pan. try to tighten the oil pan bolts other wise the pan has to be removes and resealed.
Rotella T6, 5w40, Archoil and OEM filter every 8000KM religiously.
Coolant flush every 50000km, diffs and tranny every 75000km.
After 200000 km, northern Alberta oilfield service, I've had to do brakes, batteries, an alternator and drag link.
Honest to God, take care of them properly, they will take care of you!
Hi Bill, I love your videos and i have learned a LOT from them, I have 2007 F350, do you think its a good idea to change an EBPS Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor for better MPG, or is it a waste of money? Thanks
Hi Bill, I appreciate all your videos. They have been extremely helpful. I have a late 1999 F-350 that has this slight ticking noise from under the hood. You can hear it fairly well listening from under the front fenders. It seems to get a bit louder as the truck gets warmer. The sound is very similar to that distinctive Ford click when the heater is on. Its not a constant tick. In a minutes time, it probably ticks 25 times. Could this be the start of an exhaust leak? Thank you
This is me explaining a 6.0 to any other diesel owner after a few Busch Lights
Hey Bill, what coolant do you recommend for a 96 7.3L? Thanks, love your videos.
We had a 6.0 on the farm we used too run 10-30 all the time we used too get 190 000 km on stock injectors sometimes we wouldn't get around too changing till every 10 000- 15000 km per oil change
I just bought a 2004 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.0 190000 miles on it it's pretty Immaculate I've never owned it diesel in my life so I am watching all your videos to get any information I can and I'm going to take your advice and use the oils that you just showed I'm going to use Motorcraft for the coolant and the other oils that you are showing it I have one question though additives is there an additive that I have to use on every fill-up or is it necessary for on every fill-up that's the one thing that I'm kind of I don't know I'm trying to get some knowledge in it is this additive stuff and what is good for this engine thanks for all the knowledge I'm getting from you
It has alot to do with how it is stored. A full tank of fuel will last a very long time. A half or worse yet a quarter full tank will go bad very quickly depending on humidity and temperature changes during the course of the day. In the South where it is humid much of the time. If you have a 90F day and a 70F night the damp air will get into the tank vent and at night water will condense out of the air onto the cooler walls of the tank. But if the tank is full this will not be so bad.
Diesel fuel additive is crucial to making the injectors go the distance. Stanadyne is the best on the market.
Thanks
Can you mix the stanadyne with the ford cetane booster?
while your drinkin a beer and smokin a cigarette. lol Every time i got the hood up!
I have got to admit I wish I had been introduced to your videos in 2007 or 2008, after I bought my 6.0 2007 truck, I’m sure I would have saved a ton of time and money. Great videos!!! My question is do you have a video out the how to install the coolant filter, I am going to get one from sinister diesel and could use the help? I would be surprised if you responded, I know you guys are busy.
What are your views on using synthetic oils in this type of truck? Look forward to your feedback
Bill, Great videos Thank you! Have you tried Justice Brothers ? I have tested it against all the Diesel additives you are showing...JB outperformed all in tests.As a water dispersant,cetane improver and injector maintenance it has no rivals. They also have a Product called “Heavy Duty Vehicle” oil additive. Best on the market... outperformed all others in tests.im a former JB Rep. It is a Professional Product... sometimes you can find it at a local NAPA, or call a JB distributor.
BIll, having watched this video, how do you compare the Archoil Fuel Additive to these? You did not discuss cetane content in Archoil, but you did talk about combustibility. I took the Archoil challenge, and loved it. But I wonder about cetane after watching this video.
How does engine oil affect the catlytic converter?
Bill, I'm looking at getting my first Diesel and have been looking at your videos on what can be done with the 6.0's and what I need to know about them. This is a silly question maybe I come from the gasoline world, but the Rotella T6 Oil, is there one for a Gas engine and one for a Diesel engine, or what grade specifically do I need to look for in Diesel engine oil that differentiates it from a gas engine.
Should I do a coolant filter on a 2003 ford excursion 6.0
What's your thought on
Antifreeze
Oil
Trans fluid
Tcase fluid now
On the 6.0
I have a 7.3 1996 f-350. I have a oil leak coming down from the starter or above the starter. I think u may know where it may be coming from? Thanks for ur time and ur videos.
I was told by a mechanic to use Motorcraft 10w30 diesel oil because a thinner oil and better for the injectors and helps with cold starts. What’s your opinion on that?
You have an injector sticking. Check out my "REV-X in Ford PowerStroke Diesel - THE CORRECT WAY TO INSTALL" This may help your cold start issue.
I love how you grew a goatee half way through haha. anyways thanks for always posting such useful vidoes
Hey Bill big fan I plan on putting an after market diff cover on my 03 f350 6.0 dully. What diff fluid should I use?
I don't know to many trans shops that recommends a fill fluid trans change other than filter and pan . Due to the pressure increase from a full fluid change
It depends on the quality of the fuel you are using. But a little every tankfull cant hurt.
Bill can the Ford booster and the Stanadyne be mixed together to get the best of both?
Hydrotex for the win !!!! Rip Bill. We are going to miss you good Sir.
Wish you put part #'s in the description
How much oil trans fluid and coolant do I need for my 6.0 power stroke? Going to pick it up today
Chit I put a gallon of antifreeze in my truck before I seen your video. Should I drain it asap and put the ford gold or what do you suggest I do?
Can you make a video on the proper way to flush out coolant on a 6.0l
Bill I need a better flowing head something with higher cfm but no turbulent air. Please do an episode on performance upgrades. I love looking at people's faces when my 6.0 outruns their prized possessions
Bill i have a got a question, I know you talk about having a Coolant filter and in some of your videos you show that you replace many oil coolers in your bulletproofing packages. My question is what do you think about the Bullet Proof Diesel remote oil cooler and the remote oil filter. Is it worth looking into or would it be wise to stay away from it and just run their EGR cooler? I live in South Texas where outside temps reach 95*F+ year round.
Bill, what coolant filter system would you recommend purchasing? Thanks.
We have a 2004 F-350 that has 167 000 miles and it makes the odd knocking when its started cold, also on rare occasions it chugs when it idles, although once the engine is revved it goes away. Was wondering what these two issues may be? Your videos are incredible, thank you for sharing your experience!
My 2003 6.0 has been struggling in the North Dakota Oil Field with 60 below zero temperatures. I fashioned a make-shift cardboard winter front (Ford offers no below zero winter protection). If I do not keep the engine heater plugged in, forget about starting it at 20 degrees above zero. Helps somewhat, but do you have any recommendations? Fluids-Oil adjustment? Any suggestions on giving my 2003 6.0 crew cab severe sub zero tolerance besides don't go there?
have a truck we use for work it is an 05 f250 6.0l and we do our own oil changes on it. all the truck has ever had since brand new was napa conventional 10w40 oil. We had the oil pump go out on us a couple years ago wonder if this contributed to it?
Whatcha think about the archoil additive?
Hi Bill.. Just a quick question about Ford Oil Filters....... Part number from Ford is 3c3z-6731-aa but other places I see 3c3z-6731-ab. They are both labeled as Motorcraft FL-2016 and both filters look identical. Though I don't see Motorcraft wrote on the filter with PN ab. Are they the same filter? They are both sold as Motorcraft oil filters.
Check IPR valve performance.
Still running this 07, just hooked up the Mishomoto radiator. Can you install the coolant filter kit from sinister diesel with that radiator?
Just wondering if the Ford Motorcraft fuel filter has the special membrane to remove water would installing a separate fuel/water separator still be a good idea?
I think a few years and a many videos ago you mentioned a particular brand of marine diesel grade fuel/water separator as being a very good idea if you wanted to protect your motor. I'm just wondering if that advice is still valid.
is it good for cold weather too?
I know this is a really old video. I have always been a Rotella fan and believe in changing it often. Cheap insurance. I just acquired a 2003 6.0. What weight do you recommend?
Are you supposed to put cetane booster in every time you fill up?
Hi Bill, would you still recommend the Stanadyne over all others or is there another newer product that you would recommend?
What was oils you said that were good..I couldnt hear the last two
question about the motor oil. what about ford motorcraft oil for the super duty. because what kinda recommended from Ford Motor Company. your thoughts
Love the Jekyll and Hyde effect. LOL
Hi bill how are you. I am going to be changing my rear differential fluid. please tell me where should I buy my fluid from? ford dealer or can I use Valvoline at auto zone? which one is better? I appreciate it thank you.
Hi what engine oil would you reccomend 2006 f350 6.0 220k miles
Since this is an old video and I don't see any recent oil use recommendations, I want to ask you if there are any newer oils that are now on the market (that maybe don't shear as easily as T6 does)? (I have a 05 6.0 w/ a stock engine that has 100k on it.)
Would you say the same things if it were a 7.3 liter? Or are you going to a video specifically for the 7.3 in the near future?
what oil is recommended for ford 7.3 auto transmission. The 4100 transmission. What additive is recommended ?Any advice will be helpful.
Mercon Sp is what the transmission in the 6.0 and 6.4 call for. Is there any special reason you switched over to Mercon LV which the 6.7s use?
