I can take a lot more priming but does work it all depends on how much air you have let get in your line, I had Inadvertently left the drain plug open too long on the horizontal fuel filter my truck started fine drove for about a block an stalled, one and a half hours later after many priming sessions hoping that was all that it was it finally started, the reason for my optimism was it was giving signs that it wanted to start but would stop after holding the ignition on but careful not to burn out the starter good thing I had another vehicle that I was boosting from my minivan
I had to remove the upper fuel filter cap and let the air out with the small fuel filter out to fill up the bowl..took 10 minutes with the key on and off several times to get fuel primed and the air out from the pump up to the secondary fuel filter bowl. Once it filled up, i put the filterback in, cycled the key several more times, and it finally started up...
So to just give everyone a heads up all international engines like the 6.0 7.3 dt466 and another dt engine arent common rails. So that means you dont have to worry about bleeding air out of the fuel line on these engine. Plus if you really were worried about it the 6.0 has a electrical fuel pump. Plus the fuel side is only at pressures of 75 psi. The injectors in these engine are hwui injectors short for hydralic. The high presure is on the oil side. So the oil gets up to 5000 psi because of this. If you do anything with the high presure oil system then you will be bleeding air out of it. But its really easy just start the truck and go drive it like you stole it for a couple miles.. Your common rails engines are your duramaxes, cummins, ford 6.6, Detroit, cat, and TDI engines. I'm sure I'm missing alot more.
You still want to prime and bleed the air out otherwise it will run like shit ask me how I know I own a 6.0 . You are correct about running it like you stole it to bleed air out but you want to prime and bleed as much out as possible before doing so. Running it like that only bleeds out what air you didn’t get out during the original priming after replacing filters or doing any fuel maintenance work.
Ok, I have a 2003 Ford F250 6.0 power stroke. I recently changed the inter tank fuel pump and the secondary and for injectors on the driver side. It was not wanting to start. I have a friend come over and would take off the fuel filter housing cap have me turn the key and then he put it back on and then he had me try to crank it over a couple times and shut it off and he did that repeatedly because he said he was getting air out of the fuel lines by taking the cap off the fuel filter. He said it was Hydro locked. We eventually got the truck started with brake clean in the air filter. I let it run at an idle for 20 minutes. I shut it off and immediately tried to start it again and it would not start. What is the best way for me to get the air out of my fuel lines?
i have a 6.0 power stroke replaced the filters and pump im getting fuel up to the top filter but when i put it in drive ill go about 15 feet then it will die on me by any chance know what the problem may be
Hey brotha! Let the engine to purge air trough the return line back into the tank before you drive it. Engine might run like crap until fuel system purged completely.
Ya you have another problem than that. And this dude has no idea what the fuck he's talking about just let me tell you that. These aren't common rail engines
I did this after changing both fuel filters the only thing I didn’t do was hold the pedal down after start up it ran for a minute and stalled out then won’t start I tired priming it again but no luck please does anybody know what’s wrong?
Did you figure out what was wrong? I'm having the same problem but I just started trying to figure it out on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have found that if you fill the bowl with fuel and leave the filter and cap off after cycling the key a few times fuel will flow back to the pump when it shuts off. Repeat 2 or three times and you will hear the pump finally prime.
@@PistonShack Not sure, the dummy gauge on the dash is showing right in the middle. My truck is facing down on a decline so I am hoping the quarter tank of fuel I have is getting retrieved by the pump. I may try the blue/yellow wire crank trick tomorrow.
If you have base oil pressure (low pressure oil pump) after 5-10 seconds of cranking you should see oil pressure gauge respond and arrow should be on the middle. That's good. Do you have any fuel getting to the fuel at the secondary fuel filter bowl? Do you have tachometer reading while cranking? Try to unplug ICP sensor, if ICP senor is defective engine won't start due to the faulty oil pressure readings by unplugging it ECU will switch to default mode.
Changed both filters, primed it by cycling the key a few times, fired up then died after about a minute of idling. Cycled the key 10+ more times in 30 second intervals, and I can’t get it to run. Any help would be appreciated!
Hey Phil. Do you have fuel up to secondary filter? Do you hear the prime pump running when IGN key turned ti the ON position? Remove secondary(under the hood) filer cap to verify the fuel on low pressure side. Does based engine oil pressure gauge show any pressure while cranking? How many PSI of high oil pressure do you have during the cranking? Should be at least 500 PSI for engine to fire up?
The truck in this video has something else wrong with it. When you change your fuel filters it should never start like this. Mine always starts fine after changing the fuel filters. You don't have to turn the key a shit load. Just 2 times and you will be gravy baby.
@@ts-vu3dd😂😂😂😂 you have no idea what your talking about bro. This video is bullshit. That 6.0 has sticktion you know what that is. If not then I'd keep your mouth shut
I appreciate instructional videos that are right to the point. Much thanks to you!
Glad it was helpful John! Thanks for your feedback!

The good ol' 6.0, well explained in this brief video, nice work 👍
Glad you liked it!
Another great episode. This is great if you run out of fuel too. Treat it as a fuel filter change.
Huge like, a very simple guide. Thanks! 👑👍
Glad it helped!

@@PistonShackdo you know the difference between a common rail and a hwui diesel engine is

Did you figure out what was wrong? I'm having the same problem but I just started trying to figure it out on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Did you guys figure out what happened in dealing with the same thing
Mine did the same thing I re primed it like 5 times and it fired right away
I have found that if you fill the bowl with fuel and leave the filter and cap off after cycling the key a few times fuel will flow back to the pump when it shuts off. Repeat 2 or three times and you will hear the pump finally prime.
I got super low on fuel bleed the lines and still no start even primed it
There is no such thing as priming a fuel system on a 6.0. You have a high presure oil problem bro
Nice job.
Thank you John! Cheers!
What if I've done this like 90 times? I put in new injectors and disconnected all rail lines from the filter housing.
How many PSI of oil high pressure do you have while cranking?

@@PistonShack mine is getting fuel slowly i tryed this a bunch of times im not sure what is next should i fill up first
@@Getheinterowhy did you drain the fuel in the first place
Great video!
Thanks for the visit Kevin!

What else is going on with your motor? I promise it's not a fuel issue
I have the exact same issue what was the fix?
Saved my ass !!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My pleasure!
I ran out of fuel.... she does not want to start now. Will try to put 15 gallons as I added 5 and it helped but not sure

You need some good injectors and glow plugs buddy! That thing started horribly
he is bleeding air out of the injector lines. that’s the ENTIRE point of the vid :|

Man its said that they don't know that these engines aren't common rail engines
