6.0 Powerstroke Diesel Turbo Problems

6.0 Powerstroke Diesel Turbo Problems
In this video I have a 2005 6 Liter Powerstroke with a P0299 Turbo Underboost code, I test drove this truck and during my test drive the wrench light popped and I completely lost all boost. Underboost and Overboost codes set. I will show you how to remove this turbo and explain what causes this. I will also show you how to fix this problem, a lot of techs I have come across sell a new turbo but that is usually not what you need to do, yes it will fix it but you can fix it with only a turbo install kit and some time to do it. Follow me as I show you how to make this a successful repair.

To get down pipe out of the way, I put a ratchet strap on the exhaust to pull the entire exhaust back. Made install a breeze. Nice work!

Very nice, good to. Thank you for watching

[@johnjordan9491]

Thank you for this. At :38, this is what I've been experiencing on my '05 6.0. It's got 250k and will be doing a complete overhaul on engine tese next few weeks.

[@NutsandBoltswithTone]

Oh ok yeah so when you have the turbo off split it and clean it and inspect it. Thanks for watching.

I am willing to guess that quite a few techs are not as meticulous as you are working on a turbo. I hope that kids who watch pay attention to how you pay attention to the little things. I feel that I might be repeating myself but, not too many content creators will show their mistakes. Great vid Tone

[@NutsandBoltswithTone]

Thank you very much Bill. Yes you have to be very meticulous so u don't miss anything or mess up on anything. I appreciate you watching.

Nice job. On a side note I noticed you have an aftermarket a taller than stock oil filter cap. Best to get rid of that and inure that you are only using OEM filters s well

I have one with the EGR blocked with a plate, I don’t understand how it can even idle? I also have that under-boost code. This video is awesome btw👍🏻🇺🇸

[@NutsandBoltswithTone]

Thank you very much, is the egr cooler still in place or removed and blocked off. Thanks for watching.

Is it possible for the hot side o ring on the turbo to go bad and not have any codes showing ?

[@NutsandBoltswithTone]

It is always possible. Generally Sprinters will throw codes however I have seen them have low boost and no codes. If that hot side o ring fails and is leaking you will most likely have oil all underneath it indicating there is a leak there. It should be a green o ring, and if the resonator is not put on properly it will cause that o ring to tear and leak. Hit me up on Instagram if you need anymore help. Thank you for watching.
