Saved me a lot of time. The same exact thing happened on this 07 6.0 new injectors week later towed in locked up. Awesome video thank you for making it.
Sweet I have renewed hope and can now carry on with my trouble shooting. 05 f250 6.0 has the same exact issue doing the same exact thing . Awesome awesome man I thought my engine was toast .
My brothers 6.0 hydro-locked from stuck injector's a few times and he did same thing just blew it out and swapped the injector. Only catastrophic injector failure mine ever had I lost a tip and to swap the entire head. looked like Injector turned into a cutting torch and went Freddy Krueger on the valves
I just had a possible injector break, It died on Me, when I came to a stop the smoke literally filled the cab and was bellowing from the exhaust. It was coming from it looked like where the up pipe meets the turbo. Not sure exactly. Having it towed Monday to a local shop- motor was just freshened up with studs, injectors etc. mine does have an EGR cooler, but it doesn’t smell like coolant. It smells like straight diesel, so I’m praying that it’s just an injector when I roll the motor, it still sounded nice and even so I am hoping.
@@AutomedicGarage I am seriously hoping that it’s just a small error and I am not digging out my pocket book again, I have camping trips planned in a few weeks and I need the truck to work! Lol
@@Zaay93 sure did, one of the injector hold down bolts broke, hydrolocked the motor, from what the shop stated, the previous guy that replaced an injector tightened it too tight and it broke, it destroyed the head, I ended up with a new heads, injectors etc luckily, the pistons were good, still a shit deal.
i’m about to do this same process on mine to figure out which one is stuck. i have a few questions if you would be gracious enough to answer! 1.what has to come apart, and in what order to reach the glow plus? 2. where do you disconnect the fuel pump? 3. if the injector is not split or cracked, and it’s just a bad o ring or poorly torqued, am i okay to put it back in? 4.how do i tell if the head is damaged from the bad injector?
@@shanepowers502 to get clear view of glow plugs remove inner fender well and just pull the harness but I’d have a new harness on hand. No need to disconnect fuel pump. If there is no damage to injector and it was only due to improper torque or bad oring replace all injector orings and reinstall. Make sure to blow out injector hold down bolt. Head won’t be damaged. Biggest concern with hydro locking is cracked piston, damaged rings or bent rod. You’ll know if there’s damage after you correct the problem.
Just went to work on a buddy of 6.0 and it did the same exact thing. A thud !!! I pulled the plugs and man didn’t it spit diesel. It was also black with oil ? Could it be a bad injector o ring ? Might replace all 8 since it’s got over 200k miles. Any tips ? The truck locked up again after I pulled the plugs the first time
Could be stuck wide open, cracked tip, could be because someone didn’t torque the injector correctly and is loose in the cup, could just be the oring, there’s no telling till you dig into it and see what you got.
Hey buddy I have a question if you could pm me personally. My injector number 8 on my truck is getting stuck open I replaced the injectors with 2 different sets even had the second set pressure tested and all is good I replaced ficm and ficm harness and number 8 injector is still getting stuck open. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it because I’m tired of throwing money at it and not going anywhere with it.
So I have a question. Im replacing my main engine wire harness do I have to remove the a/c compressor or can I just unbolt it and move to get to the last plunge connector.
You don’t have to even unbolt it. The crank sensor wiring can be worked out from behind the compressor, it isn’t fun but it can be done. However unbolting the compressing would make it easier, just unbolt it and leave the ac lines connected you’ll have wiggle room.
Great diagnostic procedure. How that cylinder’s rod didn't get bent is a mystery/miracle. Very fortunate. Thank you.

Sure thing bud

It can damage pistons, rings and rods but not always.
Excellent quality vid. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Let's give her a rip love it,thanks for the video my mann ...always down to learn more about the 6.0

Yep, they will do that. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Man, if I knew I had a mechanic like you relatively close I would probably pick up a 6.0.
Thanks for the compliment.
I just had a possible injector break,
It died on Me, when I came to a stop the smoke literally filled the cab and was bellowing from the exhaust. It was coming from it looked like where the up pipe meets the turbo. Not sure exactly.

A lot of times it’s not the injectors fault but the fault of someone not torquing the injectors correctly or even at all

@@cjhancock4290what did you end up finding out on this? My truck just did the same and I’m hoping I don’t have a cracked piston.

😆😂😄🤭🤡😺😸😹💩💩💩 You can't "PM" on youtube.. haven't been a thing for nearly 10 years.
Can you help me my 2006 f350 6.0. I can’t started and is leaking fuel from the exhaust
@@shaidykuri3803 sounds like you have a stuck injector. Take your glow plugs out and turn it over and see which has fuel come out.

I thought those were odd cylinders on that side
Passenger is odd driver even
I got it I was going by in the truck it’s facing it I should know that I feel like idiot I hauled cars for 25 years lol
