BEST MOD 4 Ford 6.0 Powerstroke | Blue Spring Kit Upgrade Install: Fuel Pressure Regulator
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 07. 2024
- 💪 The Blue Spring kit upgrade or fuel pressure regulator is a low-cost, must-have recommended modification that will increase fuel pressure on your 6.0 Powerstroke. Even simple aftermarket performance upgrades can easily challenge the limits of your stock fuel system. Making a huge impact on fuel pressure will help prevent damage to your injectors and even the performance and longevity of your injector life. Common pressure increases can be 10-15 PSI as well as increased engine performance, increased driveability, and smoother power delivery.

Thanks for the Video Wade! This was one of the first things I did on my ol' 6 liter back when I had it. 👍
Helping the diesel community out. Love it.
NP. Helping you all and the diesel community makes my life complete.
Video says 04 but it’s newer because you didn’t use the spring sleeve
I installed the blue spring upgrade on my 2004 F-250 6.0 last week. I can say I noticed the improvement in performance and increased fuel mileage! I am currently 80 miles farther on this tank of diesel versus my last tank prior to the install. All with the same hauling and daily driving! Best $80 I have spent in a while!
Perfect tutorial. Solved my fuel leak and got an upgrade to boot. Thanks for the help!!
Thank you for having a sense of humor while making these video. I can enjoy watching these and laugh every once in a while.
We just try to be ourselves
Excellent!! I recently bought a 2003 6.0 reading and watching everything I can.
Cool. Good luck.
Awesome video, quick talking and straight to the point!
Thanks!
One of the BEST videos on the web for this. Thank you for sharing sir, you’re an EXCELLENT teacher!!!!
You're very welcome! Thank you.
Thanks for the video and informing me on the little tips and tricks of doing this job. I don’t own a 6.0l but I’m planning on getting one. Your video is very professional and easy to follow. Thanks again for breaking it down into chunks.
You're welcome. Happy to help.
Dont do it! Lol
Great video. Very detailed and easy to see the step by step instructions. Thanks.
You're welcome. Happy to help.
This video helped me install my OEM blue spring. I couldn't get a pry bar to help but I just collapsed the rad hose by hand to get to the t27. Thanks for posting mate.
You're welcome!
Really helpful video had a leak on my 6.0 f450 just got it fixed my self not kore leak thanks for the help
Great how to. Helped with my install. Just noticed in the video that your oil filter cap is a taller one, and from what I’ve been reading on these 6.0s it’s not good. Best to stick with factory. Thoughts?
Never mind. I just watched the video where you address it. Lol. You guys are awesome
I would like to see a complete installation video of a fuel delivery setup like fass or air dog and/or which one might be better for the 6.0 powerstroke. And what ever else upgrades or mild performance upgrades for a still reliable everyday driver and tow rig
Just bought a 2003 6.0 going to get the kit next week. Thanks for the great video.
You're welcome!
Thank you sir. I’ve got an 05 excursion 6.0. I’m going to do this ASAP.
Great tips!! I miss diesel tech Ron too!
Another 6.0 tip! You need a a good old seat or couch cushion to lay on when working on the engine or your ribs will be bruised the next day!!
I love it you're literally doing everything I've been starting to do with mine
It is like we are in your head. Spooky. :)
I can tell Wade loves to work on 6.0’s from this video
Just installed this on my 05 Excursion 6.0! 😎
As well as the Sinister Diesel fuel filter cap! 👍
Stylin' and profilin'!
What are the benefits?
bump, what are the benefits?
These are great step by step videos thanks man
Happy to help
Excellent video. Had the kit and going out to install now. Thanks
Thanks!
Thanks for the Excellent video, made the job easy , Greetings from Iceland H.
You're welcome! Glad it helped! :)
I hope to learn alot from you guys. Never owned a diesel but I do know and don't know a thing.
Just bought an 04 6.0 250, doing this upgrade this weekend!
Awesome! Good luck!
Great content as always! Thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful!
Glad to hear it!
Who else bought the socket? I did 27 bucks! Got it in the mail and very happy!
It is a dandy one to have!
Thanks for video, would live to see how you go about. Changing valve cover gasket
Take the filter and both ends of the air box as one. Alot easier
Thanks for video, would love to see how you go about. Changing valve cover gasket on passenger side
Great work , I just bought a 2006 f250 with the 6.0, I will be doing some upgrades and will follow some of your work. Thanks again and God Bless
Thanks! Good luck.
Legend recognize legend!
We had an injector go out in our '03 Excursion 6.0L, clogged the egr and pouring fuel smoke out the exhaust. So, we had the shop do an egr delete and replace the whole bank, 4, injectors on one side. Half a year later, wife hits a deer and we get that fixed, I'm driving it around for errands then home and the FPR is leaking badly. Well, I knew I should've done this kit when we bought it 3 years ago.
Take a haevy screwdriver handle and tap the bowl as you try to loosen the fitting it makes it a lot easier to break loose
Thanks for the video. R.I.P dieseltechRon.
You're welcome.
Dieseltechron was one of a kind!
Mr 6.0!!! Rest In Peace brother!
Long live the King of 6.0!!!!
Learned more about 6.0 from Ron and also this channel than ever before. I swapped my first turbo this year. Going to rebuild the one that came off with all the upgrades and goodies. This job is a part of the next round of upgrades for our old girl. She’s been faithful and loyal to the T.
Nicely explained, thank you
You are welcome!
I have watched your video in fuel pressure regulator - very help full , Thanks you! I now have lose of power to the truck and I would like you to let me know about bleeding the fuel system - f250 6.0 Edward Thanks
Did you have to replace the fuel filter cap or just put a new o-ring in when you noticed the weep hole. I have the same issue. Used the vid to replace my spring thanks!
#1: egr
#2: oil cooler
#3: blue spri g
#4: straight pipe that sucker.
Studs, dummy plugs and sick nasty tune
How much do you think all that would be at a shop
@@Stonks93 4-5 g. Its expensive
@@Stonks93 bulletproof. Thats the known term. Need aftermarket head bolts also
All I need is the spring and the pipe
Great video easy to understand and awesome tips and tricks. Thank!
You're welcome. Happy to help.
The military calls that "farmer tight'". It was really hard to get farm boys to wrench on anything lighter than a bulldozer as they would strip threads and break bolts until they had a chance to re calibrate their elbows, or their brains.
Thanks for that. I had no idea about this upgrade. I’ll do it. But what is the black bar that’s attached to the underside of the hood?
Question. Have you experienced a noisy fuel system after a blue spring install? My 2003 6.0 has a strange noise when you first turn the key and the system is building pressure. Sort of a buzzing sound “in addition to the normal injector buzz”Like a leaky pressure scuba regulator or letting off air brakes slowly. The same sound happens intermittently while the truck is operating. A dealer did the install.
Did mine about 8 years ago still going strong.
If Im not gonna replace the housing, is it a must to disconnect from the fuel line or can I just undo the 4 bolts and leave it connected to the line?
Thank bra I'm fixing to do that now thank so much
NP! GL!
I got the Sinister Diesel kit.. with the nice billet blue housing
jdm603jake you like it so far?
Hi, I just bought another 6.0 Diesel 2005 F-450 Runs Rough, Bought it cheap. I am looking for upgrades to salvage this engine or try to find out if I need to replace the engine. Previous 1 owner says he has never done anything to the engine except maintenance, change oil, fuel filters, etc; He said it died on him several times, so he parked it, bought a '16 Duramax, and put the F-450 in his backyard. After about 8 months, I finally bought the truck where i thought I needed to be. I got it running and Now it's all discovery, and finding out where to start with which parts to put on it.
Egr block off any recommendation suggestions advantageous disadvantage I want to do something heard that's it's very effective, love the blue spring kit up grade never knew about this
thank you Steve
At what fuel pressure do I need to replace my pressure regulator? I tested it and got 49 lbs pressure at turn key. Can’t drive it yet to see pressure under load, due to 4 bad injectors.
Could you guys do a banjo bolt upgrade video for 05-07 trucks please?
Great vid. Just tackled a new water separator cause the allen head plug was stripped and i had some goop that needed cleaned out. I think this will be my next project. No idea if this has already been done to my truck already in the past by the PO but don't guess it would hurt to do it.
Depending on the year it already has the blue spring kit.
@@TheTyrial86 , i have 2003 truck just bought last march do you think mine is replace already?
TheTyrial86 when did they put this in from the factory? I have an 07 titled but may of 06 built 6.0. I would assume it has it but I am unsure?
@@nickconrad94 From factory there is no blue spring for higher pressure. I have one of the last 2007 trucks and it didn't have the upgrade spring. Someone has to decide to change the spring. Most do not because they are unaware of the benefits or they do not like the cost of paying another to do the work. If you haven't done this go ahead and do it.
I just replaced my 05 with an oem part. The next day my check emgine light came on. Have you experienced something similar?
Do you still need to pull the fuel filter out if the plastic piece up top doesn't break?
Hi Wade. Thank you for these videos. They are most helpful. I drank the cool aide and pulled the trigger. I just finished installing an oil bypass and coolant filter kit. Next up, the Blue spring replacement kit project. Wade, because I don't know the maintenance history of the truck, I was planning on replacing both fuel filters as part of this install. I cracked the upper filter cap. 2 questions. I think it was because I should have started with the lower filter first to relieve the pressure in the system. Is this correct? And, should I do so during this installation or just move forward as shown in the video and start with the blue spring replacement and then move on to the filters? Thank you.
Might as well do the bottom 1st easier to catch the fuel down there and it Leave it off down there when you open the upper cap it might siphon the fuel in the bowl when you open the filter cap.
My fuel filter works fine it’s just leaking should I put some flexseal around it?
Great 👌 Video ! Bravo..
Can you send me the link to buy that blue spring kits that you just installed
Because there are so many ..
Thank you sir .
that nut won't break for me. any suggestions? can't really get a wrench on the nut closest to the regulator squarely, to stop it from spinning with the other nut
If you do this conversion make sure that you use the International/ Ford parts. I recently working on a 06 6.0L and looked at the fuel spring to make sure it was good to go. The spring that I took out was blue but comparing it to a real International blue spring the aftermarket "blue spring" was a lot weaker and the coils were a lot thinner in diameter. So make sure that the spring that you are putting in is a real International blue spring replacement spring and not just a "blue Spring".
new to the 6.0 2003 . about the seat. What do you have to have and do to get it out. ? Pretty sure my old girl has an old seat...
This video was very helpful I give it 11/10 and I got a request for you to make a video on how to delete a 6.0 including the egr and another video on how to make overall as much horsepower and torque on a 6.0
You're welcome!
Installed in a 2003 6.0 when turning on switch to prime making a 'squeaking' sound but runs fine? Any suggestions? Maybe sticking not sure just wanted to see if anyone else had this happen. Thanks
On my 2004 6.0 When I have the heater on at the foot position The passenger feet get hot and My feet don't feel the heat. The dealer told me that is the way it is suppose to be. Can you give me any ideas on this?
@thoroughbred Diesel. Do that oil in the intake is normal on 6.0? If is not what cause that?
Hopefully you can help me. Nothing to do with the fuel regulator... My fan clutch on my 2005 6.0 does not shut off. I already bought a new one and is still doing the same. I changed out the temperature sensors and still nothing. i bought another fan clutch and waiting to install
Great video. Gonna do this to my 04 Blue Beatty and buy me some Throughbread Swag. Jason Las Vegas
Nice!
awesome!!!
Thanks!
I know this is an older video but does the Blue Spring up grade wear out and need to be replaced its self
Is there a difference between a icp sensor and a ipr valve ?
what is the fuel line part number that you loosen and tighten with the hold back wrench that goes into the fuel pressure regulator? couldnt get a hold back wrench on it it twisted pretty bad. thanks!
...is the new housing any different than the one you removed? Other than dirt?
Lube the gasket but not the oring on the fitting you screwed in New housing .your a pro
Cool video Appreciate the patience thanks
You bet 👍
I thought the newer 6.0 trucks had the metal CAC cold side intercooler pipe? I thought the plastic version was the older 6.0 trucks?
Just take the intake out as one piece Wade. Its so much easier than watching you fight it separate.
Great video, quick question, I bought a used ‘03 6.0, and doing a few things to it.. is there any way to tell if the blue spring kit has been installed without taking it apart
no, youll have to take it apart. but if youre going to take it apart to look at it, might as well buy the upgrade kit and replace it since youre already there.. its a very cheap fix
Does this work on the E class and if so is their a video not that many videos on E series:(
Just did the install yesterday on my 2007. No leaks all good on the install. BUT NOW THE TEMP GAUGE IS NOT WORKING!! Coincidence? But my Torque is still with a Veepeak OBD is still showing coolant temp. But no oil temp.
Can you do one the Powerstroke 6.0 HFCM and Pressure Regulator. I think mine is plugged up.
I am doing an egr delete on my 07- 6.0. Sadly it's in the shop right now with a blown head gasket. So why not it's a farm truck.. But I wonder will you suggest a programer for me. I want an affordable programer that improves fuel efficiency and for towing. I am old and don't care about racing anymore. Any help would be great oh the truck is an off road truck so it has 33s on it. Though I don't play in the mud if I can avoid it.
I like that green s10 yall have in the back. I have one just like it but extended cab.
I ended up torquing the fuel line off the bowl, may have to replace the entire line now that it’s effectively crimped and not perfectly round. Hard learning a 6.0 on my own. This would be a mistake worth cautioning in the film. Good luck.
You are nuts, done hundreds of. Them, up grade or key gasket. Move cac hose forward a nd remove it.
I second this, my 6.0 has 275xxx miles, was leaking from the bottom of the regulator. Easy job for sure, worked on my own vehicles for years. The two nuts on the compressed fitting for the fuel line were essentially seized together.
I could not get them to separate no matter what, unfortunately I too ended up having the fuel line bend and crimp at the elbow. Not a big deal, just another trip to the store for some universal fuel line and hose clamps. Cut off 2” of bent/crimped elbow section and replaced with new flex line. Added a good half an hour to the job but worked great!
I ended up having to vice the nuts soaked in WD-40 to get them separated just fyi, that was the worst part!
But to agree with the OP, if your rig is high mileage and this hasn’t been done yet, be aware of this being a possibility before you try to loosen the 13/16” nut 😂
Basic question if I may... how can I determine what my stock fuel pressure is? OBS Code reader or is there a monitoring system that can be used?
Hello there,I just want to check with you if it is popssible to change from the permanent brake and accelerator pedals to the adjustable type and also if it is prewired in the truck.Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you asap.
I do not know the for sure answer to that question. I would check the part numbers on the acc pedal on both systems and see if they match up. That will tell the story.
Can you answer a question for me replace left pump And sending unit now and pump is cycling getting foggy diesel the truck will run for about 3 to 4 minutes then die upper filter housing nothing but air can you help me
Check the HFCM and make sure the fuel filter is seat correctly and that you have no leaks. If it draws air any where between the tank pick up tube and the pump in the HFCM the system will not prime. This may be the cause of what you are seeing. I had it happen on my rig.
Is there a suggested mileage to replace the blue kit with another mine has been for 70000 miles
Of course I over tightened the top right bolt and stripped her. Hopefully the torque that’s left the blue thread locker will keep me out of leak city!
Fingers crossed!
I have a 05 6.0 , how often do you recommend replacing the blue regulator spring ?
When installing a new poppet seal does the 45 go outside to the filter base or the flat side instuctions are vague on this ?
45 to filter base.
I recently got an 06 6.0. I have the blue spring kit just havent done the install yet. I keep reading about people getting 100 psi and that not being a good thing. Can you help guide me to what is acceptable and whats not?
Once you do the blue spring kit, you should have anywhere between 60-70 psi at idle and that is optimal. Higher pressure will likely mean a fuel restriction, which in turn is lack of fuel flow. 60-70 psi is optimal.
I’m so happy I got the older pre September truck 🙄😂
Why are the older ones better is that an 03 built before September, are you saying the Blue Springs are fine in the 03 and what else is better is there anything that's worse.
We’re I can buy one blue spring?
What was the before and after psi. I did the blue spring and now I'm at 70 psi.....seems to have helped skips under load
Don't have. It is a nice upgrade for sure.
I learned a long time ago to wear gloves, diesel stinks😉
Seriously one of the easiest mods for the 6.0
Have you tried Archoil? Completely fixed my bad starts and “cold” California starts
I have heard good stuff!
If you were filing when the fuel erupted - make a video of out-takes and bloopers
Is there a way I can tell if my 6.0 has the spring upgrade without disassembly?
You can check lift pump pressure and see if its correct. But that’s as involved as checking for the upgraded spring.
What happens if you kink that fuel line, I went to loosen the first nut and she kinked. Any help would be awesome!
Trip back to the store for universal line, cut 2” of elbow out and replace with 5” of flex line and crimps. Ask me how I know 😂
Would be helpful in defining what you mean by older model or newer model what years you’re referring to before I get into the project.
Anything after 05 is a newer model.
@@ThePrestoner50 wouldn't it be late 04? Assembled in 10/03+?
Question: What exactly is the "upgrade"? sorry if I missed it and i'm not trying to be negative but rather further my knowledge.. I bought a new ford BSK and I'm all for replacing but I've yet to hear what the upgrade is verses the original?
The BSK increases fuel delivery pressure to the injectors by 10 psi or so. Plus is a upgrade to a wore out regulator spring with high mileage on it that doesn’t allow correct fuel pressure to the injectors.
