- I get people asking me questions on DieseTechRon.com about the steps I leave out on the shorter videos, so I made one that covers the complete install from start to finish. I know it's long but people had a lot of questions.

Today, its 2022 and after turning wrenches on gas hi-po and race cars for over 40 years, I'm now retired and have to provide service on my one and only vehicle, a 6.0 Powerstroke. In recent years, I've replaced the turbo, injectors as well as a variety of sensors and other service projects. Earlier this year, I deducted that it was time for a new oil cooler and EGR cooler and last week, it became time to address this without delay so I returned to CZcams and found this video. This video IS the FINAL WORD on performing this replacement. I wish I could have known Ron when he was still with us. His videos are brilliant and whenever I've needed to research or perform any service on this truck, I've always seeked out Ron's videos for the best assistance........still after so many years since his passing, he's still helping hundreds and hundreds of us working on our own 6.0s. God bless him and to all his survivors and family. And if you're about to tackle any project on a 6.0 Turbo and find a video by Ron, rest assured you've found all and the very best help you'll need to complete whatever project it is that you're preparing to tackle. RIP, Ron.

I know Ron is gone, but if anyone in his family still looks at these comments, they should know Ron's videos are still a gold mine and much appreciated. Ron's loss is all the more sad because he seemed like a genuinely good, generous, honest, kind soul and hard worker. RIP friend.

RIP Ron. I just purchased my first diesel and although you may not be here with us anymore your videos, knowledge, and legacy will be helping people for many years to come. I wish I had the chance to thank you while you were here but instead I'll thank you for looking after my 6.0 from above bro! Rest In Peace Ron
To the family of Ron. First off my condolences. I recently just bought my first diesel. Researching the main issues led me to see Ron's videos. I can't tell you how much he has helped me. When I read that he passed my heart broke. Although it was years ago having just met him through his videos I mourned. Ron is a special man, it takes a certain (word) to be a teacher. Not only was his instruction precise and dumb downed for a not even close to a mechanic (me) it was as if his guidance was made just for me. I'm not sure if you will read this but in the chance that you do I pray that your hearts are at peace and I thank you (all of you) that shared in his life. Most of all I want you to know how much I appreciate him. Ron is the utmost of what I try to do in life : Always teach with love. God bless you.
Nicely said pal!
ATTENTION!!! I wish there was the "DONATE" option to benefit Ron's widow & family. His CZcams video collection benefits us all and are the absolute best when it comes to Ford 6.0 diesels. If the option to donate becomes available it is my hope that we all contribute to his family in his memory.
There is a go fund me for Ron huxell. I have donated more than once. I try to remember to donate each time I watch one of his videos. We all should
Thank you, I’m a broke kid rn but I’m going to start donating once I can.
Ron was cool...
Ron's wife is a silent cool too..
She did the videos,sometimes you can see her hair.
Wow I truly didn't know about that. I love Ron's videos. This man has saved me so much with regard to my 6.0
I love this man in condolences to his family.
Like his videos, subscribe to his channel, watch the advertisements (or let them play in the background, while you do something else) to the end. I'm guessing youtube is still monetizing his channel. Simple free way to say thank you to his family.
Just bought a 6.0 and Ron has been helping me even though he has passed.
He lives on through his earned knowledge and generosity to share it.
Found Ron in 2018 and he has been a blessing for me and my 6.0 still here watching his videos on Thanksgiving 2022. Rest in peace Ron!
As an original owner of a 2003 6.0 I have been watching Ron’s videos for many, many years. Great resource. Saved me lots of $$ as I’ve been working on cars since I was a kid. I hope his family keeps his legacy alive. I lost my older sister unexpectedly this April 2024. She also lived in Hemet, CA. She was only 54. RIP Ron and Maundy.
Helped me back in 2015 and now till this day you are still helping the Powerstroke community Thanks Again Ron! RIP brother.
This guy is such a huge blessing to the 6.0 community. He deserves a free truck or some sort of award for all his efforts to educate others.
So very sad this amazing .....kind....generous man has passed.....must have been an honour to know him...hopefully i meet him up there.
I second that motion,you are just right. Such a colossal loss. Honestly Ford Motor Company should do something huge for the family that he left behind because he really promoted their products and made them easy for people to use. May God continue to rest his soul.
Over 700k views on CZcams, and I must have watched this video at least 100 times while doing my 6.0. His explanations are so clear and to the point. It bothers me that he is gone from this world. But the knowledge that he shared and that I now have - Thanks to him - have served me well. Sometimes I find myself asking, "OK Ron, what do I do now?" And the answer comes to me. Sometimes I feel like he is watching while I work on my truck. Like a Guardian Mechanic Angel. God Bless you Ron. Yours was a life well lived.
So sorry to the family for their loss. Ron was an honest, humble and helpful man.

Man I miss this guy, hasn’t been anyone like him since.
Yeah, i know right. I'm still learning good things.

He did such a good job with these videos and was apparently so knowledgeable and was willing to share it
@Emery Henry 33
Pickin up right where my boy left off🫂🔥💯
Thank you for this video to teach us. Not everyone can afford to pay dealers or shop prices, so we need to do major maintenance ourselves. I was successful doing this because of you! We miss you, man. Thank you for your family too.
Your wife is a trooper for standing there and filming you for 2 hours. Mine wouldve said "Um, No, get a tripod."
About six to eight hours actually. It was a whole Saturday. I'm lucky she and the kids help out when they can.
@@DieselTechRon u bet buddy, i wlda been there too!
I will be studying this man and his knowledge for the next 2 years working and rebuilding my first 6.0. Very grateful for pages like this and people like Ron for sharing comprehensive knowledge for anybody to understand. RIP a legend.
*edit
I watched this entire video on the first time through just because it was so good.
I'm finishing up my oil cooler/BPD EGR repair and have watched your video while working along with it every step of the way. I wish ALL vehicle repair videos were as thorough as this. THANKS!!
How has this repair held up in your truck?
Man your a badass ! I love seeing woman taking on working on trucks. Here I am being a puss lol all bad
I just want to say I've been a mechanic for a long time and diesel tech Ron was an amazing mechanic and you can just tell he was such a nice person such a sad loss so sorry for the family I still watch these videos and learn something every time I watch it thank you to the family for keeping them up
I just bought my first diesel , happens to be an 03’ 6.0. I have had DTR on repeat.
Rest easy sir. To the family his videos given me such value and inspiration. I can’t tell you how great it is to have a tech by your side.
You are still missed to this day Ron. You're the best.
Ron has Helped me So much. I want to send some cash to his estate/wife/family. We as a ford 6.0 community should all donate money to his family after all how many times has this man helped each one of us out of a jam and not to mention the savings in repair cost ??? My conscience wont let me keep "not doing something" God bless him !
It really cracks me up that Milwaukee told you not to promote their tools. Suits....
This video is priceless. It was like having a master mechanic looking over my shoulder the entire time I was working on my pickup. So many great tips and tricks.
Maybe an angel named Ron was watching over your shoulder
I have watched a lot of Ron's Video's on the 6.0 learning a ton of information that has saved me countless amount of money. He will forever be remembered for his absolute Mastery in the Mechanical Industry!!! There will never be another like him. He was so very generous with all of his knowledge that he voluntarily shared with Millions around the world with the hopes of others to spread his joy and inspiration. Condolences to his wife, children and family 🙏🏾🙌🏾 Thank You 🤙🏾
Thank you so much Ron! Just installed my oil cooler today. Your videos continue to help people!! R.I.P brother!!
RIP RON Gone but never forgotten God must’ve needed a diesel mechanic in heaven this guy walks you through step-by-step he’s a 6.0 master mechanic if it wasn’t for him I would’ve never been able to get the job done
R.I.P. Good Brother. He was like Everyones Powerstroke Dad!
truth, never saw someone so willing to help so many complete strangers. what a wonderful man he was.
impleasen i
Powerstroke dad that's funny😎
He was so amazing when it came to explaining his procedures, clear, thorough, detailed etc. It sucks the fact that there hasn’t been anyone with his characteristics able to help new mechanics/technicians well there is a few great ones but not like RON.
I have watched this vid many times as a refresher for diving into the 6.0l engine.
I would like to thank Ron's wife for putting up with him and helping him make this vid as I am sure it was more of a labor of love than a desire to stand there for hours on end watching Ron do something she had no interest in learning. Your are the hero behind Ron that helped him help so many in the past and on into the future.
I am sorry that he left you and us so soon and I am also selfishly sorry that he did not have the chance to make other vids on the Ford 6.4l and 6.7l which I am sure he would have moved on to in time.
Thank you
R.I.P. Bless your wife and family. We need more people like you here it's not fair
This guy was one of the best teachers I've ever had. I'd listen to his videos and follow along on my projects step by step. Just a good all around guy. Thanks!!
In November I bought my 1st diesel. 07 6.0. It needed some work. With Ron's amazing videos I took on a project. So far it's going good. I could never have done without him. Rest in peace sir.
Absolute magnificent educational video ... Thank you to Rons family for continuing to run his CZcams channel.... I wish I had the opportunity to have known Ron in person.
Thank you, man, wherever you are and thanks to your family to keep this on because still helping people like me
may G/d bless you Ron
You did a terrific job Misses Huxell/ kids working the camera for Ronald on his videos. Its easy to tell that Ron was a true gentleman in his nature by listening to him in these videos. I have spent a number of hours watching his efforts, learning about my 6.0, and likely will spend many more. Thanks for all these efforts, Best regards, Alan.
Wish I seen this guys stuff while he was alive . What an amazing guy May You RIP sir
Best guesstimate, every five minutes Ron is saving a new 6.0 owner thousands of dollars.
There has never been another Diesel Ron...such a loss...such detail in his videos....I've learn so much... Saved thousands of people money with his awesome videos...I did the oil cooler ...just watched video step by step...R.I.P
I bought my truck already studded and bulletproofed but I cherish it and monitor the camshafts religiously. Thanks to your family for keeping your memory alive!
Man I would be seriously lost with my truck if it weren't for Ron. He was a angel even in life just wanting to help people.
Just want to comment to keep the video alive. This video made this task amazingly simple and I wanted to extend my gratitude to the wonderful lady holding the camera. Was quoted 3200 to replace the egr cooler, oil cooler, gp 1, thermostat, clean the egr valve and turbo. I had The Illness so was off for the week and got to get out there and knock it out at a leisurely pace for 916 bucks. Not that I couldn't have done it without this video but I wouldn't have done it had I not watched this first. Thank you again for having a steady camera hand and keeping the video up.
Thank you Ron for all your videos. You are a simple kind hearted man. RIP, Ron. Us garage mechanics miss you dearly. You are the power stroke genius. Perhaps god had superduty trucks in heaven falling apart...
Ron, just did an EGR delete, oil cooler, STC fitting, turbo drain tube, blue spring update, banjo bolts and all of the goodies that go along with that on my 07 on Friday.
I watched this video once or twice and it made all of the difference! The tips about how to get to certain bolts, how many are here and there really sped it up for me. Other than a leak at the paper gasket on the turbo feed line, everything went perfect. Got that sorted out and now its running great.
Just wanted to let you know that a video of this size was definitely worth doing. I appreciate the time you put in. It definitely made it a lot easier on me!
Does the egr delete make you smoke more?
I did the work myself just used the video as a guide.
And the EGR delete will just make the truck more reliable and less likely to fail. Smoke is usually directly related to the tune in the truck.
RJ Webber was doing the oil cooler a necessity just wondering because I'm debating on whether or bit to buy an 07 that has everything bulletproofed besides the oil cooler.
My EGR is deleted but doesn't smoke at all
RIP ron .u were one of a kind
Wow to watch this man move through this engine and his obvious knowledge was awesome and incredibly impressive. I just got a powerstroke and after several video breathed a sigh of relief when I found this video. Yet I was sad to read and after further detail discovered Ron was deceased. Peace and love to the family! As you know, his videos continue to reach us!
A wonderful wife Ron has. Not sure my wife would bare with me for 10+ hours. I still have your FICM Ron....a great memory of you. I anticipate you are sitting on the right side of Jesus.
Thank you Diesel Tech Ron. I just followed this video to fix my truck. I know you have passed but I am grateful for your knowledge you continue to help others even after your passing. Thank you and rest in peace.
RIP Ron, your videos saved me tons of money... your in a better place, thank you for your help
I'm so jealous of you ron, I just graduated highschool and am going to get a job with ford mainly there heavy duty shops (powerstrokes), I own a 6.0 and done studs and egr delete and new hpop and ur video's make it were ill be ahead of the game when I go into my internship training I thank you very much ur what I wont to be when I get older. Keep the videos coming all the info I dont know IV learned from you. Thank you an god bless.
rastafarianWeedsmoke Ron is one of the best for sure! I am happy to see your interest in diesel engines, and your making a good move to become a diesel tech.I just retired from a 46yr. career in diesel powered equipment.I am EMD engine certified,but worked on almost every brand.You will do well I'm sure with the Ford company,as they will train you and you'll become a valuable technician.It's hard work sometimes,but I liked the field. I raised 3 daughters and had a good life.You can too.
I just watched this video and looked down and read the comments. I thank God for this video and Ron I know you are there beside God. Thank you Thank you Thank you to him and his wife, she did a great job holding the camera. God Bless the entire family. He truly sounded and acted like a good man.
You are the Man!!!! From Texas, After battling my 6.0 2005 for 6 years I made the last Cast on your Video. Installed a Bullet Proof kit with Heavy duty oil cooler , EGR cooler and oil filter. Truck is running great. Appreciated Ron!!!
Good to hear. Thank you
I have watched Ron's videos lots and he was the guy I would go to and find his video when I wanted to work on my truck because he would let you know and show you all his little tricks for doing a job which comes from experience. I know he is gone and is missed by his family and many friends. To his family and friends please know that Ron was a genuine nice guy who liked to help people as he has helped me and is sorrily missed. I never knew him personally but sure wish I had, RIP my friend and condolences to his family.
Rip Ron. Thank you for helping me keep my truck going. I felt like you were part off my family.
To Ron's family, I just want to say I am sorry for your loss but what is remarkable about Ron's work is that it lives on and continues to help people like me. Thanks for leaving these great videos and legacy that Ron gave us.
Hey Ron. My name is Victor C. I was also a technician but with Chevrolet you can see the professionalism oozing out of you as you talk you can see the care you take in explaining what you doing as well a shortcuts to take I really really enjoyed you're video. I'm no longer a tech,I since then retired,my last hoorah was as a automotive instructor in which I used the same passion in teaching as you do. Keep up the good work...
Vic, Ron has been gone for years at this point. ..May he rest in peace.. but yes I see the same as you..
Im just joining the 6.0 fam, just got my first diesel, just discovered this channel. Thank you so much for keeping the all the content available. RIP RON
I have always worked on older gasoline engines just bought a 2004 f350 dually with a 6.0 I gained alot of confidence watching this video I appreciate how well everything was explained. A very good teacher.
Thank you Ron Rip. Thanks to the family for keeping these videos up I could not have completed this job with out them. They are still helping alote of us mechanics out here. Thanks again Andrew from Colorado.
Ive just started watching Rons videos. I have a 2008 6.0 e350. He has already taught me quite a bit and helped with me changing an EGR valve and testing my glowplugs. What an asset he was to everyone. RIP Ron.
I know the last comment was two years ago but I absolutely agree. Bought my first 6.0 a year and a half ago. Ron’s videos have been absolutely priceless with everything I’ve done on this truck up to and including engine rebuild and swap!! Wherever you are Ron… thank you!!
There's some more recent comments on here but YT seems to stack em in a weird way.
dude, I cant thank you enough for sharing this knowledge....my oil cooler replacement went flawless thanks to your video, you are my 6.0 obi-wan-kenobi!!
Ron your still missed by a lot of people who, like myself, is fortunate to have someone like yourself and family to teach me how to tackle some of these complex and very expensive jobs. I'm a professional fireman for the city of Meridian Idaho and I can't afford to pay the Ford garage to do it for me so I found you on CZcams. You're very thorough and very careful in how you explain these steps. I can't thank your family enough for keeping your step by step videos on CZcams for me and many others who need them and utilize them. God Bless your Family!! Thank you for leaving a legacy for us to learn from . GOD BLESS YOU DEISEL TECH RON !👍
i cant believe Milwaukee asked you not to promote there product first off your a master technician with outstanding work methods and this is free advertizing plus i didn't have any interest in there products until ive seen them put to use in all your videos i dont buy a tool casue someone unboxes it in a video and says its nice i like to see it being used in real time
Nice job of showing how to do all aspects of the oil cooler, also what to watch out for and be careful of.
The honesty throughout video is great and your wife is a good camera operator, thank you.
It’s time for me to do this repair and this is the go to channel. Thank you Ron, thank you Ron’s family. I’ve been getting educated here for years. We miss you buddy.
Not many people would take this much time to teach others like Ron did. What an example he set for others to follow.
that m12 electric ratchet is the best I work on jetskis for a living and its one of the best investments ive made
Got my 1st truck and I’m here just looking and heard the sad news my condolences to the family ❤️💯
This guy is the best I am putting on a bulletproof diesel external oil cooler right now watching his videos. What would we do without Ron? God bless him.
I want to thank you for your videos. I just completed some "EGR work" and replaced my oil cooler while I was in there. Your video was a live saver in saving me $1300 in labor charges at the local diesel shop. Thanks!
this guy has saved me thousands .....very informative, knowledgeable and so forth! I appreciate all the videos you have! awesome job brother keep up the good work!
still watch these amazing videos he made... lost my dad last year..... i do not think i will ever fully get over it.... god bless and thanks for keeping these amazing videos open for us all to see and learn.
I still watching hes vedeos when im working in Ford trucks he was the best
Used a Ron trick today to diagnose a boost leak, Rest in peace you absolute legend.
I'd like to add my own thanks to Ron and condolences/thanks to his family.
I've done work on my vehicles before and mostly refer to a few videos to supplement manuals, but since I found Ron's videos they are not only thorough enough to follow step by step, they have also such detail as far as pitfalls that I felt absolutely confident as I embarked on the deepest dive I've ever made on a diesel.
His method and manners pass the smell test when it comes to knowing if the guy in the video knows his stuff, and fine details serve as waypoints on previous service/damage done to your vehicle... these are just 2 examples:
Case in point #1: broken dipstick: yes. mine was broken, clearly by someone who tried to remove the air filter by the Haynes manual procedure!
Case in point #2: hydraulic torque on bolts. When I was cleaning the top of the engine off I discovered the HPOP cover bolts were only hand tight. As I removed each one-by-one to re-torque they literally popped out of their holes under pressure. Because he was so clear about blowing the oil out of blind bolt holes I may have averted or corrected another oil leak.
That's just 2 of many.
Having had some recent very bad service at a dealer which prompted me to NOT spend upwards of $3000 more, Ron's video saved my truck, and also eased my concerns about a head gasket (at least now I will feel confident to do it in the future if need be). Seriously, it's almost as if you have an expert friend accompanying you to the shop so you know when you're getting honest service.
Ron's videos are the best I've ever found on this site, hands down. What a legacy.
Thanks to you and your dedicated camera crew! I'm clumsy so I always remove that oil filter riser stem cause its plastic.
RIP Ron. This video just saved me money and the hassle of having a mechanic do a half ass job. Did it myself and made sure it was clean and done right
Ron you may not be with us but your videos will help more ‘I feel starting out techs’ than anyone could have ever imagined. Thank you!
Damn I’ve seen a few of his videos over the past month because I purchased a 05 f-250 but I had no idea he passed away until I read on the comments!!!! Needless to say he helped us out a lot! And I’m sure he was proud of that. RIP Ron
We miss you diesel tech Ron. His tutorials are still inspirational and very educational. I have learned a lot from him while working g on my 6.0 powerstroke.
Your a very good Mechanic Ron. Wish we had guys like you around here.
Thank you for showing, I wish I was closer to you so you could do my service, I can't work anymore on my Excursion, I was a hostage and they bust my knees. I hope you and your family have a good NEW YEAR, with good health, love, and prosperity.
I don't even own a Ford diesel truck and I love this guy! His legacy shall live on without him! He has enabled tens's of thousands of people to work on their own vehicles because of his hard work, dedication, and desire to share his knowledge posting these videos. He was good man, and truly is missed... and fuck Milwaukee for saying he wasn't qualified to endorse their product!
Awesome video!! I just did my 04 last week. I followed your video and had no issues except when you mentioned the doorman oil cooler gasket. So I threw out my oil cooler and got an OEM ford cooler with updated egr cooler, new turbo, blue spring upgrade and all new filters and fluids.Truck runs great. All your videos helped me. I started this because I had a p0299 and turbo was seized. Thanks again!
I dont even have a diesel truck and love watching him work. Its amazing how he goes through it like nothing!! Absolutely terrible loss and sorry to the family even after all these years. I'm watching in sadness to see such a great person gone!!
Rons videos have always been so helpful to me to keep my 11 year old truck running. I'm so thankful for everything he has done for all of us 6.0 owners. Thanks always, RIP
My 6.0 still running after 300k because of Ron. His family should package these videos on dvds. So valuable
If you've done any repairs to the 6.0 that required removing the coolant you may just have air in the cooling system. Make sure you turn the heat on and take the cap off the degas bottle to purge any air in the system after you have fill it with coolant. Sometimes it takes several times of replacing and taking off the coolant cap to purge all the air out (you see it bubble in the degas bottle from the bottom where hose attaches). Try this before you spend thousands. Also make sure you don't have any small coolant leaks in the radiator or a leaking or bad water pump. Also make sure the fan clutch is operating properly before making any costly repairs. Replacing the radiator, water pump and fan clutched fixed my problem with the coolant leaking out of the degas cap. I was told I had blown head gasket even though I already have ARP head studs and replaced head gasket when studs were installed. Beware of BOGUS mechanics and repairs shops. ( The infamous Ford Stealer Ship)
Coolant kit which includes the water pump and fan clutch are about $300.00 at Auto Zone. Life time warranty
Radiator also about $300.00. Life time warranty
Total for both was about $600.00 and only took about 6 hrs. Hope this will help someone... Over and out :-)
I watched this video a few years ago and completely bullet proofed my 06 6.0 liter with amazing results and don’t consider myself a mechanic. RIP Ron.
Once again, Ron saves my day!! His videos are like going to school!! Miss you Ron
I love these videos. Ron is so knowledgable and the detail he provides in these videos are so much help.
DieselTechRon was the Bob Ross of diesel. RIP brother, thank you for all your wisdom.
I just sat down at my computer after taking my time, over three days, replacing my oil cooler and updating the STC fitting. I bought my truck used with 150k miles on it. My truck already had the dummy plugs and STC fitting updated. Wasted time and money on my part. Other than that I would not have had the courage or know how to do this job if it weren't for this video Ron. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. Just one thing, you never mentioned draining the coolant before you begin the job. After I got it all back together a code tripped for number 4 injector wire. I hadn't connected the plug all the way. Thx again Ron.
Ron, your videos have been a great help to all of us. I have a great understanding of the 6.0 and how to install these costly and complex parts. Without your videos I would have never even thought of most of the tasks I perform on these trucks.
Thanks Again.
i dont even have a 6.0 but i like to watch Ron work because i learn alot anyways. Thank you Ron
Here i am watching this video, may 15 2024 and even though he has left this world years ago his knoleage and videos stay alive for eternity after so many years he is still eloing the diesel community and guys like me to gain confindence and tackle this jobs that cost thousands of dollars at the dealer or at the shop. This geltelman lrfr a legacy and a lot of us will make sure we keep his memory alive and his legacy. Thanks ron and god bless you wherever you are 🙏
Ron knew More then the Guys who designed the Dam thing in the first place...We miss you Buddy. Thank you...
Thanks to Ron and his family, without his videos and guidance, I would be lost.
Being in the automotive field, I know video making and working on the ford diesels as a lot of work and planning. Thank you for taking the time to make this for us (the viewers) so we can offset the cost with doing it ourselves. Lot of work + video + editing + and answering emails. Thanks you for what you do!!!!!! Awsome video!!!!!
Miss you Ron,prayers for your family.
