I love that you left the soot inducer valve in the intake when you washed it lol! Gotta make sure it's clean! Just FYI when you do oil coolers on 6.0s after cleaning out the valley if you pre fill that valley with some oil that'll help it start up faster as that hole leads directly to the HPOP. When it's empty they will crank for a while, it's just a poopy design. Also the heads on 6.0s don't always leak because the lack of clamping force from head bolts. It's mostly from cupping that appears after a few to many heat cycles. Ford opted not to machine the heads on warranty work for two reasons, #1 they have a specific RA finish most machine shops couldn't achieve, and the heads were cast with so little deck material that taking even 6 thou off would jeopardize their structural integrity and the heads would crack. Ford even went down the rabbit hole of actually offering head studs as part of a recall kit, but they quickly found out it didn't work and the head cupping issue cause by inconsistent cooling during casting would only be truly resolved by machining which they can't do... it was a catch 22 scenario. So they said here!!! gasket slap it with these new super sticky "blue head gaskets" and hope it doesn't come back! Have a great day! "allegedly"
Your oil had to be hot enough to melt that oil filter housing tube. Meaning the oil cooler was probably 100% plugged. Also check your dummy plugs and stand pipes. High oil temps are hard on those o-rings, it's the gateway to high pressure oil leaks.
Bad break. I’m a Ford guy but I didn’t know where to start with those so switched to Ram. Then guys like Jesse Warren get out there and do unthinkable things with them. So while you’re digging into yet again, you’ll probably have a good truck when you’re done.
I can sympathize. Bought an older dozer that ran good when we tested it. Turns out the owner didn’t fill the radiator completely and removed the thermostat because the radiator was bad. We never knew it until we tore it down and found the radiator damaged beyond repair. Only option is to have a new radiator built.
I feel bad for you getting burned on a deal like that but keep in mind if the seller knew about the headgaskets being bad and failed mention it , thats on them they will be the ones who "can't sleep at night ", your free from that .... God bless you man love the videos!
The stand pipe usually doesn't melt until over 240-250 degrees. The melted plastic also likes to collect in the cooling jets for the pistons, and the oil galleys for the crank bearings. Best of luck! 🤞
Been scammed for sure. Lovin the 6.0 content I’ve only changed the filter cap and o-rings on the IPR. Not actually had a valve go bad. Some cheap upgrades. From a 6.7, get the starter, and get the 2 banjo bolts for the fuel feed to the common rails from a 6.4 for the front of the block. Flow 25% more fuel. My next upgrades will be the ODawg intake. Way better air flow. And scrap the factory oil cooler and go with a good remote.
Tough break on the truck. I know you will adapt and overcome like always! I appreciate the content as always even the ford stuff 😂 My worst “deal” buying a truck was a 02 lb7 needing head gaskets and ended up needed that plus injectors and a bunch of other small work in the engine bay to make it right.
I'm not a 6.0 fan but I still feel your pain. Anyone that has bought used has found out why someone would get rid of such a "great truck". I know you're out the money for parts and your time to do it but on the bright side you have the skills and tools to do it. As you said though, "That's a real kick in the knockers! " Looking forward to seeing the resurrection for it as I know you have a lot of love for the 6.0 platform. For me and my money I'll keep pouring it into Dodge transmissions and keep running the tractor engines. I too enjoy night time test drives with no semblance of help should things go wrong. Just comfortable boots.
Josh, that flippin stinks man. That's definitely a swift kick to the jingle bells. Definitely a tough one to swallow, but knowing you through the channel, you'll get 'er right...and put it to the test. Keep it up man and hope the shop families are doing well.
Don't feel bad I have seen many bullet proofed 6.0s that still had head issues. Sadly the heads on yours are probably bad too if everything has been that hot.
An old Bill Hewitt (RIP) video points out that melting the oil filter standpipe is common, once it gets overheated that much, and that many times. Melted standpipe material is probably now plugging up oil delivery passages . . . Just sayin'
You'll have to forgive me but I'm over here scratching my head as to why you're even bothering with these 6 l trucks. They're endless money pits. I was very happy when I sold mine and got rid of it. Then of course at 12 valve swapped my k3500 which has been an excellent truck. Got offered a very reasonable I'm out for it so looks like I'll be selling that soon. I went ahead and bought a blown up 2008 6.4 F-450. I remember when I visited PDD back in 2019, you and I talked about why the common rail was the superior engine, and I think I now agree. I'll be looking for a complete Parts truck and hopefully getting that F-450 built up in the next year or so
Hey Josh can we get some DMAX footage on the channel. The Cummins/power stroke content is great. I enjoy your videos even though I don’t own a Cummins or power stroke. Maybe one day you will get another DMAX. Or maybe show some customer stuff on the channel.
I’ve always had purple power foam up like that when doing a clean up. I wouldn’t rule that the head gaskets are bad. Purple power foams up a lot. And it’ll do that exact thing. I try and use 12oz per 2 gallons to reduce that bubble.
Have same Venturi tool and that plastic piece melts down when oil gets to hot and if someone used wrong oil filter it will not push down valve in bottom housing and will cause hard start because need build oil pressure before can start since has Huei injection system
I bought mine with 110k miles pervious owner never really dove it but redid the whole oil system before I bought it. Only had my injectors go out since.. all trucks can have problems
Plastic thingee in the oil filter housing=stand pipe. Man the oil must have gotten HOT. Oil cooler was already toast. Get rid of Gold and green coolant. Major flush and then extended life red coolant for the win.
I’ve seen several times at my shop that if the oil got that hot to melt that plastic I’d definitely keep the thought in the back of your head that it could have damaged the stand pipes and dead head plugs I’ve also seen it mess up injector o rings or also damage injectors when the oil gets that hot we also clean them with purple power and water lol . 👍🏻
Seller definitely new what was going on with it unfortunately. FICM tune won’t cause a idle choppy like that with stock size injectors. You should always check for steady crank off the starter wire next to HVAC fan. Definitely is weak on a couple cylinders by the way it’s cranking out of rhythm. I’ve had one of mine 275+ temps and haven’t seen that oil filter stand melt. Good luck with it but might just be worth finding a lower mile engine and stud it and throw it in there.
I have seen that part melted like that before and it ended up needing to be rebuild bec melted the plastic and getting in the rod bearing and it from over heating the hell of the motor
Sorry man. My buddy is dealing with the same thing. I have his pickup in the yard. 10000 miles on a "built" motor and studded. Gaskets are blown already. Still need to get mine done. 🙄🙄
First diesel I ever bought was a 6.0 king ranch. the guy told me it just needed shocks, tires, and track bar. Took it in to my mechanic he found fuel in the coolant had to get new heads and replace the cooling system because all the fuel in it and needed the front end rebuilt. After all that money I spent I went and totaled the thing being a drunk idiot. Head gaskets were never blown tho.
The scary music in the timelapse while working on the 6 leaker was fitting. Too bad it turned out to be a turd. I feel bad for you. On the flip side though, you're getting the experience to fix these junkers and that always pays. Bulletproofing a 6.0 seems like marrying a hooker and hoping she'll make a good wife.
Shit i was so excited to finally see 6.0 content sorry you bought a turd atleast you have the know how and ability to fix it hope you dont give up on it really looking forward to more 6.0 content fingers crosses for you that the rest of the truck isnt butchered together.
All you can do now is make lemonade out of that lemon! We've all been screwed over at some point buying a used vehicle. It's yours now so might as well make it right. Bright side is, it'll entertain us!
Yes got burned on one from a dealer. Bought it the next day engine light came on took it back and was told 5600 to fix needed new dph system and was not covered under used vehicle warranty protection
The 10 blade turbine gives you the loud whistle which is from an 03 turbo, I caught that you said 10 blades isn’t the “loud one”. Anyways, how has the AVP turbo performed for you so far? I seen on kt diesel performance you can buy an upgraded stage 2 for 800 bucks
Love the optimism, guess this is the truck for content you needed. I’ll be waiting for the next one. 😅 keep it up man. Ha bullet proofed (hoax) not possible
don't forget to o-ring the heads.You can stud these all day long and they will only last for a while if power is turned up. I did this on a regular basis when working for ford, I went on my own and started o ringing and that took care of the HG problems, also under warranty ford would only let us fix what was wrong, not what needed to be fixed. they were all about the cheapest way to get it out of warranty.
Like my old man has always said ashes to ashes dust to dust if it wasn’t for fords my tools would rust 😂😂😂😂 won’t run good oil in it puts rotella 😂😂😂😂 priceless
from your other videos I saw you have a bhj cutter so you probably have the 6.0 plate also. if not it is well worth it, 6.0s are not going away so you might as well start o ringing like the rest of us. I'll give you the tool setting specs if you want them.
Almost all the trucks I've had up until a 3 months ago were fords - they were all gassers and they were great trucks. When I needed something with a Diesel - i steer'd clear of Ford - i've seen and have so many friends that were burnt by 6.0's and 6.4's and a service tech who flat out told me to buy the Cummins truck. (over the new 6.7 powerstrokes). So i bought a new '22 2500 Tradesmen specifically because it had a Cummins (not the biggest Dodge/Mopar fan). This video is just re-affirmation for me - i know the new 6.7 powerstrokes are good engines overall - but have been told that a few will come along and whenever they have an issue - its a huge issue that requires pulling the cab. Serviceability on these V8 Diesels seems to be a non-thought by the manufactures.
i mean he was rumping on it and abusing it when it wasn't in operating temperature in some of his videos but idk, that's his experience with the truck i just remember him saying best result for that turbo is when the coolant is cold but starting the truck and beat it up on non optimal temp seems bonkers, luckily im running a 6.0 bulletproof to the gods, and completely deleted CAI straight pipe to turbo and back 5inch mishimoto rad 6gun bank with module and 265k miles stock internal, pulls like a freight train pass 100mph and get 20plus mpgh at 60mph i love my 6.0
Man if it got that hot, is it even worth trying to put gaskets? Something else peolly warped or cracked lol. Bottom end build coming in the next 2 vids lol
Sucks to see you got burnt on the purchase. I got burnt pretty bad on my truck, finally had the money to go buy a diesel and was just too excited. Got a 2007 5.9 for $13k in 2019 and at 21 I was too stupid to realize it was so cheap cause it was a turd. It ended up needing injectors and a CP3, plus the typical 3rd gen trac bar and steering linkage.
Oil in the coolant = all new hoses, new radiator, new EGR cooler, new oil cooler, VC9 flush, and no fun. I wonder if the owner had a big temperature differential between oil and coolant?
That sucks man... You'll get it straight. FORD gaskets plus ARPs will get it locked back down. My Father-In-Law worked for International when the "VT365" was being built, 6.0 as the Ford community knows it. Five 6.0 trucks in my immediate family at one point. In a Cummins now, but hold the 6.0 near and dear to my heart. -Good call on swapping that Wix cap for a OEM Motorcraft one. The Wix cap HAS to be used with a Wix filter... The Wix filter is taller, as is the cap. A Motorcraft filter in a Wix cap will not close the bypass - not filtering any oil. No bueno. -Rotella is good oil, T6 for those colder VA winters will do that HEUI injection system well. 6.0 is hard on oil - the HPOP will shear 40W to a 30W in 5k-ish miles - refrain from extended OCIs.... Oil is cheap, injectors are not. -Coolant - any quality ELC without silicates will keep the oil cooler happy. Monitor Coolant/Oil temp deltas - 10 degree or less delta is acceptable. Can be a super reliable rig once setup right - best sounding diesel on the planet if ya ask me! Keep the videos coming man!
They melted the fuckin oil filter stand pipe! Holy shit i've heard of it but never seen it. I heard of one getting the oil lava hot melt down and basically trashed the entire motor, Drained into pan and Coated the bearings clogged lifters oil cooler hpop turned the cylinder walls blue with scoring. Wow i thought it was a urban legend LOL
Usually after oil cooler change I unplug glow plug controller and ficm relay and crank till that uneven engine skip sound is gone due to air in the system them plug in the relay back in and if im cranking over 200rpm and icp isnt at 500psi you prob got shit in the ipr screen if clean but if you think your making 500psi but still no fire unplug icp and try to start it
Well seams like the guy sold it knew they were bad and ran out of money to fix it. That sucks. People are just greedy and thieves anymore. Sad to say but true.
I swear the same thing is happening to me right now. Guy told me it was bulletproof and all drove it home noticed the coolant was low now I’m thinking it’s blown heads now I’m trying to decide if my 03 6.0 that I’m already in 14k is worth another 7k ish. Sucks that people will take advantage of you every chance they get instead of being honest about it.
Definitely wasn't as bad as your deal but when I bought my 06 megacab I thought I was getting something that didn't need a ton of work because the owner had told me it was taken care of. However, found out after I got it home that the pitman arm nut was only on by two threads and the entire front end was shot. Didn't see it during the test drive because we didn't get it past 45 mph (probably my fault) got lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else on the drive home with as terrible as it drove on the highway. Live and learn...old truck things lol
Yeah definitely I mean I don't sell stuff often but when I do I am fully honest if not to honest to the buyers and I usually give deals but when I found my 2004 ram 2500 quad cab it had a cm teuckbed flatbed on it which looks brand new still but it didn't have any bolts holding to the frame and the fuel tank was ratchet strapped on both straps and the guy told me the tranny was just rebuilt basically stock but new guts and I crawled under and he was right it is stamped one month before I bought it with a tranny shops stamp and everything and he said it had a nock which I could tell was an injector but I thought I got a deal which I did in a way but it ended up not shifting down into 1st or 2nd so had to get the governor pressure solenoid and transducer and the injector and all the wiring was just chopped to pieces all over and I drove 12hrs to Connecticut from north western PA where I live, to get it and it was night when I got there and because I didn't want to hurt the truck I winched it on the trailer but I got screwed because of the heat exchanger he didn't tell me about that was bad and the tranny not shifting down into 1st and 2nd and all the rigged stuff like none of the lights worked and they chopped into the bed harness to connect the flatbed lights and wires but never put any bolts in the flatbed to hold it to the truck so it could have flipped off anytime on the 12hr ride back home and I was none the wise because it was 10pm when I loaded it.. people are so shady anymore that's why when I find a truly just good person that I buy parts from I try to keep them as friends even if its long distance just because that way I know some honest people in this world..❤❤❤ GOD bless you and the family bud❤
Man I really don’t want to be negative butttt. Man I learned in 04 to stay clear of the 6.0! Everyone who attempts it always says iffff built they’re bullet proof. I’ve seen a lot of upset guys over that engine. But if anyone can do it right it will be you. Those I can’t even look at I know my luck.
6 liter owners are usually the worst to my experience. Arguably a complicated engine with owners who have no idea how diesels even work. Love those trucks, just have to buy it from someone you know or they are the original owner. Then replace every failure point and put compounds on it😁
Bright side of all of this is that once you master the 6.0 it will keep you in business forever lol
haha, was thinking the exact same thing.
No shit my boy shop 50 truck @ all times💯🤷🏾
Love the fact that you admit what you don’t know and give credit to those who help and let’s be honest you are bound to blow it up eventually 😂😂
We’ve all been burnt at least once my man the important thing is we remember how it felt so we don’t do it to someone else
If you buy anymore 6.0 rig a rad cap with pressure gauge to check for head gaskets
Hats off to you Josh. Those power strokes are a nightmare
I love that you left the soot inducer valve in the intake when you washed it lol! Gotta make sure it's clean! Just FYI when you do oil coolers on 6.0s after cleaning out the valley if you pre fill that valley with some oil that'll help it start up faster as that hole leads directly to the HPOP.

I’m not gonna put good oil in it I’m gonna put rotella in it lmfao 🎉YES
My super duty is a V10 so I don't have a diesel truck. I've seen a lot of CZcamsrs shill shell rotella, so it's bad oil or is it a meme?

This video is just re-affirmation for me - i know the new 6.7 powerstrokes are good engines overall - but have been told that a few will come along and whenever they have an issue - its a huge issue that requires pulling the cab. Serviceability on these V8 Diesels seems to be a non-thought by the manufactures.
New Cummins has hydraulic lifters so make sure you use the correct oil. Besides that they are great minus DEF pumps breaking
i mean he was rumping on it and abusing it when it wasn't in operating temperature in some of his videos but idk, that's his experience with the truck i just remember him saying best result for that turbo is when the coolant is cold but starting the truck and beat it up on non optimal temp seems bonkers, luckily im running a 6.0 bulletproof to the gods, and completely deleted CAI straight pipe to turbo and back 5inch mishimoto rad 6gun bank with module and 265k miles stock internal, pulls like a freight train pass 100mph and get 20plus mpgh at 60mph i love my 6.0
😂
Guess it's time for some ported heads....
Your wife is amazing, I’m going to send my wife over for some training.
The test drive at the end with nobody to come help is something I would do.
What ever happened to your kill devil diesel heads you picked up?
Man if it got that hot, is it even worth trying to put gaskets? Something else peolly warped or cracked lol. Bottom end build coming in the next 2 vids lol
Sucks to see you got burnt on the purchase. I got burnt pretty bad on my truck, finally had the money to go buy a diesel and was just too excited. Got a 2007 5.9 for $13k in 2019 and at 21 I was too stupid to realize it was so cheap cause it was a turd. It ended up needing injectors and a CP3, plus the typical 3rd gen trac bar and steering linkage.
I always fill the valley with fresh oil after cleaning, so ur not cranking the thing forever starving the hpop.
Oil in the coolant = all new hoses, new radiator, new EGR cooler, new oil cooler, VC9 flush, and no fun.
I wonder if the owner had a big temperature differential between oil and coolant?
Hope to see a heavy hitting 6.0 from you some time
That sucks man... You'll get it straight. FORD gaskets plus ARPs will get it locked back down. My Father-In-Law worked for International when the "VT365" was being built, 6.0 as the Ford community knows it. Five 6.0 trucks in my immediate family at one point. In a Cummins now, but hold the 6.0 near and dear to my heart.
-Good call on swapping that Wix cap for a OEM Motorcraft one. The Wix cap HAS to be used with a Wix filter... The Wix filter is taller, as is the cap. A Motorcraft filter in a Wix cap will not close the bypass - not filtering any oil. No bueno.
-Rotella is good oil, T6 for those colder VA winters will do that HEUI injection system well. 6.0 is hard on oil - the HPOP will shear 40W to a 30W in 5k-ish miles - refrain from extended OCIs.... Oil is cheap, injectors are not.
-Coolant - any quality ELC without silicates will keep the oil cooler happy. Monitor Coolant/Oil temp deltas - 10 degree or less delta is acceptable.
Can be a super reliable rig once setup right - best sounding diesel on the planet if ya ask me!
Keep the videos coming man!
Smoking hot oil temps cause the oil filter stand pipe to melt . Caused by plugged cooler
They melted the fuckin oil filter stand pipe! Holy shit i've heard of it but never seen it. I heard of one getting the oil lava hot melt down and basically trashed the entire motor, Drained into pan and Coated the bearings clogged lifters oil cooler hpop turned the cylinder walls blue with scoring. Wow i thought it was a urban legend LOL
Usually after oil cooler change I unplug glow plug controller and ficm relay and crank till that uneven engine skip sound is gone due to air in the system them plug in the relay back in and if im cranking over 200rpm and icp isnt at 500psi you prob got shit in the ipr screen if clean but if you think your making 500psi but still no fire unplug icp and try to start it
How was that avp turbo?? Did it make a nice whistle? I'm torn between that or titan 9 blade or kc 10 blade.
Didn’t run long enough to know 😂
Well seams like the guy sold it knew they were bad and ran out of money to fix it. That sucks. People are just greedy and thieves anymore. Sad to say but true.
Definitely have. It sucks!
What under hood lights where you using and where did you buy your plastic rolling work carts are you using
Harbor freight for carts. Snap on for the lights
I swear the same thing is happening to me right now. Guy told me it was bulletproof and all drove it home noticed the coolant was low now I’m thinking it’s blown heads now I’m trying to decide if my 03 6.0 that I’m already in 14k is worth another 7k ish. Sucks that people will take advantage of you every chance they get instead of being honest about it.
Oil filter stand plastic deal breaks apart when ran too hot for too long
Maybe pull the engine and do a light refresh on the lower end. looks like it took too much heat.
Come on man, you should know by now 6.0 repair and the word cake walk never go together
The upside is you can now do it right then beat the shit out of it.
Definitely wasn't as bad as your deal but when I bought my 06 megacab I thought I was getting something that didn't need a ton of work because the owner had told me it was taken care of. However, found out after I got it home that the pitman arm nut was only on by two threads and the entire front end was shot. Didn't see it during the test drive because we didn't get it past 45 mph (probably my fault) got lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else on the drive home with as terrible as it drove on the highway. Live and learn...old truck things lol
Yeah definitely I mean I don't sell stuff often but when I do I am fully honest if not to honest to the buyers and I usually give deals but when I found my 2004 ram 2500 quad cab it had a cm teuckbed flatbed on it which looks brand new still but it didn't have any bolts holding to the frame and the fuel tank was ratchet strapped on both straps and the guy told me the tranny was just rebuilt basically stock but new guts and I crawled under and he was right it is stamped one month before I bought it with a tranny shops stamp and everything and he said it had a nock which I could tell was an injector but I thought I got a deal which I did in a way but it ended up not shifting down into 1st or 2nd so had to get the governor pressure solenoid and transducer and the injector and all the wiring was just chopped to pieces all over and I drove 12hrs to Connecticut from north western PA where I live, to get it and it was night when I got there and because I didn't want to hurt the truck I winched it on the trailer but I got screwed because of the heat exchanger he didn't tell me about that was bad and the tranny not shifting down into 1st and 2nd and all the rigged stuff like none of the lights worked and they chopped into the bed harness to connect the flatbed lights and wires but never put any bolts in the flatbed to hold it to the truck so it could have flipped off anytime on the 12hr ride back home and I was none the wise because it was 10pm when I loaded it.. people are so shady anymore that's why when I find a truly just good person that I buy parts from I try to keep them as friends even if its long distance just because that way I know some honest people in this world..❤❤❤ GOD bless you and the family bud❤
Man I really don’t want to be negative butttt. Man I learned in 04 to stay clear of the 6.0! Everyone who attempts it always says iffff built they’re bullet proof. I’ve seen a lot of upset guys over that engine. But if anyone can do it right it will be you. Those I can’t even look at I know my luck.
I didn’t get burned………… I knew the last 6.4 and the 6.0 had mountains of issues before I brought them home LOL
What a pile it’s mind boggling why people buy these on the bright side the 6.0 single handedly keeps shops open because they are always breaking.
That truck was obviously treated like shit! Any engine Cummins, Duramax, or powerstroke if neglected will have problems.
should've primed the Oil valley.
Why not just common rail swap it? I'm sure you've got a block and ECM to spare
Looking to hire another diesel tech? Pretty familiar with 6.0 and Cummins platforms
4:34 Anyone know who makes that step he uses? 👀
10 blade is the loud one
I’m thinking the same as well
6 liter owners are usually the worst to my experience. Arguably a complicated engine with owners who have no idea how diesels even work. Love those trucks, just have to buy it from someone you know or they are the original owner. Then replace every failure point and put compounds on it😁
