I'm a non mechanic, but I own a japanse sportscar and have been learning about how engines work, and this guys videos are awesome. tells me heaps about engines, even tho hes talkin diesel and i have a petrol/gasoline powered R32 GTR... he knows his stuff and has given me a few ideas... thanks for the videos!
@armyguy209 You are the perfect candidate for the Elite fuel system. You have spent big money on making the truck run hard but the puny stock fuel lines and slow stock fuel pump just are not going to get the fuel to your injectors when you demand it. I guarantee you that the Elite system or similar set up will knock your socks off when you install it on your truck. Probably 15-20% power increase and better fuel economy.
@bigdaddy234567 Only time will tell on the 6.7. So far the Spartan tuned 6.7s I have seen are astonishingly fast. It seems the engine, like the 6.4, is a sound engine, but the heat from the emissions may take its toll in the long run. We will see.
Thanks Bill, ya i figured that. they forgot to set the regulator on the kit to 60 psi so the first day i set it back down to 70 just incase they did adjust it and the gauge in the cab was off, just so that it wouldn't be below 40. Then i phoned them the day after and they said they didn't set the regulator so now i set it to 62 psi so hopefully those 2 days didn't blow injector seals :p
@fordpowerstroke2012 We have had a bunch of problems with the aftermarket fuel systems. the complete system from Elite diesel is the best. I would just stick with a new stock pump unless you do the full regulated return system.
M12x1.25 I believe. Might be M12x1.5. Every tech needs a fitting for this, period. It's very surprising how many trucks have low fuel pressure concerns that go unnoticed (and unfixed).
What would cause it to run and idle fine but when I accelerate hard the fuel pressure drops from 52psi down into the low 40s when it hit 45psi I let of the throttle
Hey Bill, great video! I am having real problems with my 2005 6.0 F250. It stalled on me once and almost stalled again another two times. It has no power and when I was trying to get home it was doing only 30mph in a 70mph speed zone going up a good grade. I just changed out both fuel filters today, and have tried Sea Foam as well. I think I have water in my fuel, but I'm not sure. I'm lost, do you think it's my fuel pump or something else? Don't have much $ to make big repairs... Please help...
First off great videos they've helped me on more then one occasion. I have one question maybe you can help me with. My 08 6.4 will very randomly rev slam mainly when you need to let off the gas and get on it right away. To take a curve or in traffic ex. It will then get stuck in gears to the point where you need to pull off the road and turn off the truck. After restarting the truck everything is back to normal. Thanks
Since some time I OWNER 2006 Ford F350 6.0 diesel. When trying to run, hpop pressure in the first 3 seconds is 0psi, for the next 3 seconds the pump is pumping up to 100 psi. After the next second the pump is pumping from 100 to 500 psi - then the engine starts up. Pump is new, proven IPR valve, the system was checked for leaks 120psi (air presure). I have took out the pcm power relay, and have started the starter, Max Pressure on high pressure strip was 1400psi. What else can I check ??? I have no more ideas.
Hey Bill, Thanks for the informative video. I learned a great deal on this topic. Question - Can you share what the size(s) the fittings you used and the specific type ? You said a compression fitting from tube to NPT, but what is the size and name that connects to the top fuel filter filter housing? I would like to make one of those test gauges for my 6.0 truck. Thanks
I really like the fuel connection tube you made up. Can you tell me where you got the banjo bolt from? Was it from another location on the engine? The original one that goes into the cylinder head is way too long for the test port. Thanks!!
So say i have bad injector how can i tell what one it is do i just pull them all? I just bought 03 f350 5 speed 6.0 has a shutter at idle now starting to skip a little when i drive it and a lot of turbo lag but i was told it was bc its sticky... Thanks
Hey Bill, im in the process of bulletproofing my 2005 6.0 because of blown head-gaskets. Now one thing i wanted to upgrade was the fuel pump figured its time to put some new injectors in the truck seen as how its got just over 200k and just want to make sure the fuel pump is nice and new on the truck so my question is have you had any experience with the Air Dog 2 fuel systems for the 6.0 and would your recommend it? Thanks Chris
Excellent videos want to buy ford truck f-350, will use to pull 6 Ton backhoe, need a desiel. Which motor would you want, would like to convert to veggie burner later what's your thoughts?
Do you still think that the Elite Diesel kit is the best out there for the 6.0? I have a 2006 with ARP studs and the full Bullet Proof Diesel kit(remote oil with billet oil cooler/bulletproof egr cooler). I also have a SCT with custom tunes from Matt at gearhead(SRL). I put a fuel pressure gauge on it and idle is 70PSI but WOT can drop as low as 15PSI which I know is horrible for injectors. I have a feeling my pump is going out. Do you think the Elite is the way to go for me? Thanks
Is there a zone where the fuel pressure is to high for the 6.0 that it can harm the engine? I have the elite diesel stage 2 fuel system and i have a glow shift fuel pressure gauge. and i get 88 psi constantly even if i really get on it, it only drops probably 2 psi at wot.
My 03 6.0 stays a steady 55psi at idle and maybe drops as low as 50 at WOT. Is this a good spec for fuel pressure or would I benefit by upgrading the regulator to the 3C3Z-9T517-AG and get it up near 70 psi?
2005 6.0 f250, would start then die almost instantly, then not at all..replaced glow plugs, icp sensor, and the crankshaft sensor...started then dies again. a "ford guy" said its probably the high pressure fuel pump, does that sound right? also its already had a high pressure oil pump put in. fuckin thing is not doin good for fords shitty truck reputation
THANK YOU for this video!! I've been chasing this "skip" in my truck and everyone wants to throw injectors in it without checking fuel pressure.

Doing it the right way. First class info!

Love your videos. Super informative. Thank you
Nice to see you're making videos again.

I like that quote by you, "assume nothing."
Thanks Bill, ya i figured that. they forgot to set the regulator on the kit to 60 psi so the first day i set it back down to 70 just incase they did adjust it and the gauge in the cab was off, just so that it wouldn't be below 40.

@bear357 Drive to Georgia, or have it shipped there and pick it up when its done. Rent a car or truck while yours is being repaired.
good to see another vid from you.
"Dont turn your wipers on when you are doing this or your going to run into some problems" LOVE IT!
M12x1.25 I believe. Might be M12x1.5. Every tech needs a fitting for this, period. It's very surprising how many trucks have low fuel pressure concerns that go unnoticed (and unfixed).
Very instructing.
Thanks.
@cd1melton1 More fuel pressure is always good for drivability but you may have leakage problems around the fuel filter.
Da. This is key in any internal combustion engine. The system should be capable of quantity fueling 1.5 per cid basic mathematical requirements.
@hondatuner88 Yes. It can be accessed on the POWERSTROKEHELPdotCOM website
i see this all the time. good video.
Great video man. Im getting a Ford Diesel asap!!!
I have a 2004 6,0 turbo diesel 88k miles chipped starts right up runs good rough idle drive for 20 miles shut off will not start for 15 min
You should be Ok. But if it starts hydrolocking and blows lots LOTS of smoke, you will know its time to replace the injector seals.
What would cause it to run and idle fine but when I accelerate hard the fuel pressure drops from 52psi down into the low 40s when it hit 45psi I let of the throttle

@BigCrzyRdNeck It is true for the 7.3 but the seals are so much bigger on the 7.3 injectors that this will never happen.
Can you tell me what the maximum fuel pressure a 2003 f350 6.0 powerstroke should have before engine damage i got a truck running between 80-95psi
Great info
yep as long as it goes to 60 psi.
damn i have this same problem bill can i check the dynamic pressure with torque pro ??
First off great videos they've helped me on more then one occasion. I have one question maybe you can help me with.

I have 41 static psi. Installed the blue spring kit same and same thing. Bad fuel pump?
Put a Ford blue spring kit and Ford fuel pump in. Static fuel pressure under 40 still. Drop the tank?
Since some time I OWNER 2006 Ford F350 6.0 diesel.
When trying to run, hpop pressure in the first 3 seconds is 0psi, for the next 3 seconds the pump is pumping up to 100 psi. After the next second the pump is pumping from 100 to 500 psi - then the engine starts up.

Ever had experience with VT365? They have a mechanical pump, dont see very many issues with them
@ORYGUN11x Did it help throttle response?
Tough online diagnostic but my 6.0 shuts off while running. No lag or struggle before shitting shutting off please help
At 88psi you are going to blow some injector seals. 60psi is safe.
What does a weak or failed fuel pressure spring look like when the fuel gauge is plumed in? with static and dynamic fuel pressure tests. thanks.
Great videos!
So say i have bad injector how can i tell what one it is do i just pull them all? I just bought 03 f350 5 speed 6.0 has a shutter at idle now starting to skip a little when i drive it and a lot of turbo lag but i was told it was bc its sticky... Thanks

Thanks Chris
It would seem wise to have a hood mounted fuel gauge as insurance.
Excellent videos want to buy ford truck f-350, will use to pull 6 Ton backhoe, need a desiel. Which motor would you want, would like to convert to veggie burner later what's your thoughts?

what is ideal fuel pressure at idle crusing wot with blue spring and airdog
my fuel pressure at wot is 60-70psi at idle its 90-100psi is this ok my mechanic says yes
what is your opinion of the airdog fuel filter/air separators/pump system?
My 03 6.0 stays a steady 55psi at idle and maybe drops as low as 50 at WOT. Is this a good spec for fuel pressure or would I benefit by upgrading the regulator to the 3C3Z-9T517-AG and get it up near 70 psi?
Hi their, so the whole problem was the injectors getting over heated? thanks
I wonder if this reasoning can be applied to Gasoline Powered Cars?
What is optimal fuel pressure under load with stock 2005 6.0...?
hi, can i use the Gasoline fuel pressure snap on guage to test the Low pressure side of fuel pressure in DIESEL engine.. please advise.
Where can i get a fuel pressure gauge for the 6.0
if there is anything worse than 6.0's with fuel its the vp44 cummins. sad thing is both could be prevented from factory.
nice video.
@powerstrokehelp I wish, my truck is in Cali.
@inerfyr Can you get it too me. My magic wand only extends to the edge of my parking lot.
@biggreen011 Find a 2000-2003 7.3L and restore it. The fuel systems in these trucks are much more resilient.
Why not just put a fuel pressure sender in that port wired to a guage instead of all that plumbing
does this hold true for the 7.3 also?
Thank u
can I buy one of those fuel pressure test gauge set ups. Please let me know
@Fordman903 Call 770-931-4070 and talk to Scott for quote on bulletproofing.
2005 6.0 f250, would start then die almost instantly, then not at all..replaced glow plugs, icp sensor, and the crankshaft sensor...started then dies again. a "ford guy" said its probably the high pressure fuel pump, does that sound right? also its already had a high pressure oil pump put in. fuckin thing is not doin good for fords shitty truck reputation
