Man I am a first time 6.0 owner and I sure wish I had your experience with my truck thanks for the videos I’m sure I will be using them to repair some issues with my 6.0.
I put KDD heads, a stage 2-10 blade turbo and Warren 175/30 injectors with TSD tunes all from KC in my 2003 a few years ago. Also an adrenaline HPOP and a bunch of BPD upgrades. Truck has stupid amounts of power and tows my almost 8000lb boat and trailer without issue as long as I keep my engine speed above 2000rpm. I have the stock turbo stored that I think I’ll rebuild as a stage 1 with A KC kit. I may reinstall it and have new tunes written just to eliminate the need to keep my RPMs up. I am sure the truck will still have more power than I need.
I wanna do the 10 blade swap but my truck only has 40k original miles and 3k miles on the new turbo lol. Engine bay is super clean I don’t feel like messing around with it just yet, keep up the content!

Great video, you have a very nice looking truck. i have been looking at your videos, i am glad you made this video, because i have been looking to do this to mine. i have a 2006 ford 4door 4x4 6.0 . i did have 4 of the 7.3 at one time. i love them .but now the 6.0. it is great . keep up the good work. i sub to you. you are at 17.6 k subs as of right now, you are close to 20k.
10:46 my cars are so much easier to work on vs my truck... Only if your truck had a full air ride suspension and you could lower it all the way down like a car with the push of a button, that'd make it much easier... Great video!!
Sweet truck, as far as steering, what type of setup consist with your steering components? I also have a 6.0 with 8-10” lift with Alcoa 24.5 on semi tires. However I have some steering wheel play. Just curious did you have to upgrade or change anything with the steering? Thanks
In this video yessir I had full 2” 1/4” wall dom tubing heim joint steering with 1.25” heims. I have a youtube video on that as well check it out. Type in heim joint steering justinhawksmith
Turbo blade sounds great and truck is beautiful. Question, I recently got an 06 F250 with 8 inch lift, 24' Fuel wheels and 35' MT Mud Hunter tires. This is the first lifted truck I've owned so I have a question that I hope you can help with. With these tires is it going to ride a little rough in slow speeds (0-20 mph)?
Slow slow speeds 1-10 miles an hour yessir it may. But they could be choppy or have some alignment wear or anything which could make them ride even worse. Maybe try rotating them and see if it helps! Best of luck thanks for watching.
i got a question on the balanced assembly ive watched a few videos but nobody specifies when putting on the compressor wheel do u just run it down snug then tighten to the paint mark? nobody really says and i dont wanna screw up anything btw great video
Yessir you put it back to the paint line that’s the proper torque spec marked from KC , any further can break shaft. No further , no less. Thanks for watching!
You only "snugged up" the housing bolts behind the compressor wheel... They should definitely atleast be tight if not torqued hope they are still holding up... Prolly are but if they back off.....
Haven’t seen a drain update , done new o rings on it , as as far as the feed line goes , just didn’t feel the need with mine being perfectly fine. Very easy to change if it ever does give out. Thanks for watching!
Just finished my install using your video (awesome video by the way) mine doesn’t sound quite as loud as yours for some reason. My truck has the factory 3” downpipe into a 4” exhaust. So I’m thinking that’s why. Going to order a 4” downpipe here soon.
@@natewstNo, but i did install a hood stack later on. That was ear piercing though, so i had to go back to normal. So i'd say with the bigger downpipe it would be just as loud as the one on this video
Never had any issues over 10k miles on my first heim steering with only 7/8 heims , this setup is 1 - 1/4” heims so don’t think I’ll be having any issues with these either. Very over kill
Im having trouble lining up the blue lines on the wheel provided by kc turbo. what exactly needs to be lined up because i can’t get mine to look exactly like yours in the vid.
I did this and I’ve never taken out a turbo or anything but I wanted to try and i did everything you done and now I got my turbo all back together the wheels won’t spin freely and i don’t if they are supposed to or not I didn’t put it back in my truck yet because I don’t known if it’s right
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH do you have any idea what it could be it spins nice and smooth until I drop it back down on the exhaust side it fits in good but once I drop it down it won’t spin anymore it’s like the wheel is to big for the housing
Are you still running this? I just pulled mine out and I'm just cleaning it BUT I would love to get the new KC Jetfire Stage 1 Turbo (61/64) - 6.0 Powerstroke (2003-2007)?? Any thoughts on that turbo??
Snug ain't torqued and I'm basing this on the video of you barely snuggling them then installing the compressor wheel.... If I'm wrong I apologize, not trying to be a dick I'm a 20yr master tech and I believe that was the issue. We all make mistakes here and there good job on your videos tho
the 10 blade wheel from early 03 trucks is known to boost faster albeit louder its a 10 blade........ then they went to a 13 blade in late 03-04.5 and 05 impilmented a smaller 13 blade all for the purpose of noise reduction although they preform slightly worse..... 05 - 07 is a small 13 blade late 03-04.5 its a big 13 blade and 03-late 03 its a 10 blade wheel.
My truck also has a distinct wine on spool downs that sounds exactly like his as well. All the research I’ve done hints to it being normal... but some say theirs just starting wining like that out of the ordinary. I don’t know!
1hr worth of labor and 450 bucks. VS 1500+ for new turbo. Really all budget based. Depends what you want to spend and what you’re looking for as far as performance.
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Also, In 4:38 when you're talking about that plastic piece, can I just remove that and never put it back on or does it serve some sort of purpose?

Beautiful truck and great in depth video on our KC Balanced Assembly!
Could you guys get me a turbo😂😂
Do you have a balanced assembly for 2021-2022 f350
I don't even have a deisel but this was one of the best guide videos I've seen ever
Did the exact same thing to my truck like 4 months ago. Couldn't be happier!
Awesome bro !!!!! So Good to hear 🙏
Is it still good did the 10 blade drop in last ?
Man I am a first time 6.0 owner and I sure wish I had your experience with my truck thanks for the videos I’m sure I will be using them to repair some issues with my 6.0.
Diesel Ron(RIP) is Smiling Down........ Great vid of that Turbo Assembly!!
Gimme chills! Rip Ron… thanks for the positive feed back my man. Appreciate that
I've got a 10blade in my 06 Amarillo! 👍🤤 My neighbors call it the "Delta Jet"🤦♂️🤣
Surprised you didn't do some powdercoating on the turbo while you had it apart. Sounds great. 🤙
Had to replace my 10 blade huge difference. Going to rebuild it so I can go back to whistling Dixie!!
Good job man that was the best video I’ve seen rebuilding and installing the 10 blade
Appreciate the feedback buddy!

Man this was a great video. Never done a turbo before but this video was awesome. Might jump and do the upgrade for my 6.0
Glad you liked it ! Appreciate the support.

Do you even drive it?
@@kxp.1496 Sometimes, usually just in the summer to tow my boat or to get the fluids going I’ll take it on the highway for a run. I have a Peterbilt I drive daily.
I think my truck already had a 10 blade installed when I bought it. Sounds exactly like yours.

Dropping a comment just cause
Truck sounds amazing on my list if I ever get enough cash and time
Frkn snds awesome Ima have to check that out for my 06 350 6.0
Truck is 🔥 my guy just got you a new sub💯
What size of turbine wheel biller did you install with 10 blade compressor wheel.
10:46 my cars are so much easier to work on vs my truck... Only if your truck had a full air ride suspension and you could lower it all the way down like a car with the push of a button, that'd make it much easier...
Great video!!
Thanks for sharing it made me subscribe to your channel. Did you get a new unison ring from kc turbo? I hear that they are a good upgrade as well.
Yessir I did

Wish I had a diesel 🥲 mines not bad for a first build for a 15 year old I’ll get there one day💪🏼
Are there any performance gains or is this just for the sound? thx
How did yours fail?ive only heard good things on this kit. Want to pick one up
No clue. Mine lasted 2k miles
You only "snugged up" the housing bolts behind the compressor wheel... They should definitely atleast be tight if not torqued hope they are still holding up... Prolly are but if they back off.....
love my KC turbo
Don’t forget to do the updates feed and drain lines if you haven’t already.
That sound awesome 😎 👍🏼
Yessir even better in person!!! You know videos don’t do stuff justice. Thanks for watching 🙏
Sounds amazing
Sounds just like my ‘03
why didnt u do the ford turbo drain and feed line updates?

Sorry just seen this, I’m not sure why you’d have that problem. Did you get it figured out
I'm about to order the kit for my 06. Do you know what the difference is from the regular kit vs the extreme kit?
I did this and I’ve never taken out a turbo or anything but I wanted to try and i did everything you done and now I got my turbo all back together the wheels won’t spin freely and i don’t if they are supposed to or not I didn’t put it back in my truck yet because I don’t known if it’s right
that is not right it should spin freely something is in a bind sounds like
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH okay I’ll take it back apart and see what I can figure out thanks
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH do you have any idea what it could be it spins nice and smooth until I drop it back down on the exhaust side it fits in good but once I drop it down it won’t spin anymore it’s like the wheel is to big for the housing
That sounds awesome, I'm going to do it
Mine only lasted 2k miles. I wouldn’t recommend it.
@JUSTINHAWKSMITH ok thanks for the reply, I was really researching, looked like a good kit ... what happened
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH what happened? How did the company respond?
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH wait?! What? I bought the kc 10 blade with extreme rebuild kit was that a bad idea?
you win a new suscriber ✌ from P.R.
Mines an 03 so it does sound like that
What center section and unison ring did you use?
Whats up fam, what rebuild kit did you roll with? Standard or extreme and why?
❤
I’m gonna have to get me that
Do you have to get the whole 360 kit or can you just buy the wheel itself and drop it in?
Awesome video
Louisville has a couple power stroke 6.0 s
Are you still running this? I just pulled mine out and I'm just cleaning it BUT I would love to get the new KC Jetfire Stage 1 Turbo (61/64) - 6.0 Powerstroke (2003-2007)?? Any thoughts on that turbo??
No it lasted 2k miles and blew
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITHyou left the housing bolts loose and that'll definitely do it

How much is the kit for that turbo?
Where can I order one?
Ford diesel 4x4 f250 super duty 2006 4x4 6.0?
Kc turbos website! Or give them a call
Going that high with lift and tires did you change your gears out? Or running stock?
stock
I have stock exhaust on my 05 6.0, will I need to do other things other than just changing the turbo blade ?
Yes , will need straight pipe exhaust to really hear the whistle
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Just found the channel beautiful build….. can I buy that grill or is it a one off?
Sold
You can buy your own at overkillfab Instagram page though!
What exhaust you running? Love the bark.
5” straight pipe
Do u get any power gain or is it just for sound
the 10 blade wheel from early 03 trucks is known to boost faster albeit louder its a 10 blade........ then they went to a 13 blade in late 03-04.5 and 05 impilmented a smaller 13 blade all for the purpose of noise reduction although they preform slightly worse..... 05 - 07 is a small 13 blade late 03-04.5 its a big 13 blade and 03-late 03 its a 10 blade wheel.
Bro luv ur vids look for more suspension and motors
DO THEY OFFER ANYTHING FOR THE GUYS WITH THE 6.4? I WANT THE WHISTLE TOO LOL
I think so!
What is everything you did to get it to sound like that
4” straight pipe , 10 blade turbo wheel as seen in this video , 10” exhaust tip
New subscriber 🔥
What oil cooler are u running how are your temperature when on the high way and little streets
Are you running a 4 or 5 inch straight pipe?
Sounds so damn good!
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Does the turbo seem lagyer?
No sir not to me
I want that for my 6.7 2021 F350 can you recommend someone for installation I want it to sound just like that
If I were you I would check out titans turbos, they make some sweet sounding turbos for those 6.7s
Jus bought a 2005 Ford f250
Hey are you from the South.
do you have a blow off valve or something like that?
No
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Do you have to have the rebuild kit?
Do they have for the 6.4
They offer a lot for all diesels checkout their website www.kcturbos.com
How long in real time did this take you
This job is completely doable in 4-5 hours. EASILY. Taking your time.
I hear that whining sound, mine makes a similar sound. Thinking my up pipe is fucked
I don’t hear anything in person. May just be the microphone picking up the turbo spool under the hood. It’s a hair louder with the new cold side wheel
My truck also has a distinct wine on spool downs that sounds exactly like his as well. All the research I’ve done hints to it being normal... but some say theirs just starting wining like that out of the ordinary. I don’t know!
What year is your 6.0?
2006
Is that a stock turbo?
Yessir
Why doesn’t he have back seats in his truck
Doing a audio build at the moment
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH I’m building a 6.0 and putting it on a 16 inch lift hope it’s as clean as yours someday 😂
Since you have to take the whole turbo out, wouldn't be better just to replace it with an aftermarket like a pitbull or garret.

Why didn't you just buy a kc turbo since you bought all new parts of the turbo
This was sent to me from KC turbos. Didn’t pay for it.
