The fact that most problems that I have researched and videos that I have watched, have mentioned the knowledge that this man took so much time out of his life just to help others on how to diagnose, and repair these diesels is amazing. It is the simple fact that people like him make owning these diesels possible without breaking the bank. Manufacturers these days want you to spend your hard earned money on these common problems that should actually be recalls. People all over the united states have been educated and have noted that they learned something from Ron. It is sad and as I have written this post I have welled up with tears because he is in heaven now. This world we live in needs more people like Ron. He is gone but in a better place, and he's still to this day teaching people. I wish I could have been a friend or even met this down to earth gentleman. RIP Ron, you're truly truly missed by so many, and my heart goes out to his family because they were so blessed to have him in there lives. God bless you Ron and the family.
Phillip you're exactly right! When I found Ron's channel I was excited beyond words. I had only watched maybe three of his videos only to find out that he was killed only two days prior, my excitement turned to tears and I didn't even know of him. I've been watching and learning and he has educated me on diesel mechanics in so many ways, I'm forever grateful and thankful. To Ron's family, Thank you for leaving up his videos and Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with us, God Bless you all ❤
It's 2019 and never knew a single thing about Ford powerstroke Diesel's, my son purchased an 05 f250 6.0 no start, I have watched every video, from Ron, and because of him I have learned alot and fixed this vehicle, I just wanted to say I am very sorry for your loss, to his family, lot's of prayers and thank you for allowing Ron to continue to help people, and touch there lives, God bless!!
Here I am buying yet another 6.0 after not having one for 5 years. Thank you Ron for all your help over the years and to to the huxell family for leaving his content up! Ron helped a TON thru his videos with my first 6.0 and I’m scouring his vids yet again! RIP Ron 🙏
To Ron's family and himself thanks for sharing your knowledge and wealth of information with the world you've helped many people over the years and you still are today. God bless your family for keeping your TH-cam account active not a easy thing to do I would imagine. RIP Ron you're a legend!
Ron has been so helpful during his time on youtube. I bought my first truck yesterday, an 06 crew cab lariat, and there's no way I would have felt comfortable with the purchase without Ron's way of explaining the 6.0L system.
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for keeping your dads channel going. I am in the middle of building an OBD 2 blue tooth, Torque Pro, & 8in Tablet setup for my 99 7.3L. This video has helped me a bunch! I will be pulling a camper with her and need to keep an eye on the Temps and Pressures.
I 2nd your thoughts @Truck Farm. Deepest condolences to Ron’s family. I am struggling to get my adapter talking to my ‘02 7.3L. If I plug in Blue WiFi super OBS (mini) adapter into modern car everything is working, so I’m sure it has to do with tweaking the settings for an ‘02 7.3L. TF what protocol/settings are you using?
This is best presentation I have ever come across. I have had Torque Pro for 3 years. Thank you. I have '08 Equinox 3.4L 6 cyl. I tow a small pup camber with it, about 2900 lbs, this Equinox's limit for towing is 3000 lbs (with electric brakes on camper). So I am close to the limit and worry what may happen to the transmission, so I monitor the transmission's temperature sensor when towing. Recently I messed up something in the app and wasn't getting the temperature readings correctly. Now it's fixed. Your video clarifies everything for me, again. Thank you.
I have been watching your videos because I am learning so much from you on working on my 2006 Ford F350 Lariat 6.0L Diesel. I downloaded the Torque Pro app and just finished watching this tutorial video. You explain it in detail and I really appreciate you taking the time for making the videos. Hats off to the person for filming you (I assume it is your wife-of course her and the kids get 95% of the profits!). Thank you so much, it is greatly appreciated.
This man left a wealth of information. I just watched this video and I'll have to watch it 10 more times to try to understand everything he's talking about, what an amazing guy. I just bought my first 7.3L van and his info is a huge help. He will continue to help me and others for a long time to come. What a tribute to his life, thank-you Ron. James-
Trust me he will always be even for years to come.I still feel like I am dreaming thinking that somebody will wake me up.So hard to believe that he is dead.I have been having my F 350 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab PowerStroke 6.0 for almost seven years now and I have always been able to be on top of the game because of his technical help the truck never gave me any issue for once and guess what for the first time since I bought the truck I am now having an issue with it and have not been able to see who to talk to about it. May God rest his soul.
His videos will still be great for years and years to come... God bless Ron....... he was real.. and never tried to sell me anything by the end of the video.😄
Go to his channel it's like the second to the last video where his son Explains It All it happened around 2017 I think bad car accident wasn't wearing seatbelt
Wow this helped a lot, I was confused on why I couldn’t find some of the info/gauges I wanted, and have been using the app for a while, and now ik a lot more
Howdy DTR, I know that this video was done 7 or so years ago but still find it very useful. If your still around, I have a couple questions for ya. Hope to hear back from you.
Really good job, sitting here testing it out and determined that the OBD Link LX makes the truck stall after a bit, not immediately.It will not start at that point, take the LX out and starts right away. Interesting..working through it.
I have a 2019 f350 6.7 , my question is, will obd2 Bluetooth elm 327 connected to torque pro give false codes , was driving and check engine light comes on , at different times, goes off when torque pro is disconnected
I followed your instructions to a 'tee', but I can't get the FICM Sync function to respond. Also, would you explain the 'boost' feature? It's tied into MAF somehow?? Why is it at zero unless accelerating?
+Phillip Herder well ur better then me haha when i plugged mine in my dash looked like a christmas tree saying tow haul was on 4x4 and a tbc fault anyone else or u get that problem ?
curious if the app is updatable for feature vehicle specific code. The old styles used special circuit board keys you slide into the slots of the odb2 scan tool as well as cartilages now. The new ones must have a way to upgrade them thru an upgrade of apps or something ( i am guessing or are they going to be throw away after a certain period of time in future) . My other curiosity is if they have ELM327 bidirectional read/writters/flashers...like you can actually open vents , turn on compressors , turn on fans ,...etc as well as flash new wireless key codes to BCM , change engine performance values etc... :)
The app software is used to monitor stuff not do custom modifications per vehicle. You can do injector buzz tests and cylinder tests with the Forscan app it's a Ford specific app available in the Google Play Store.
THANK YOU FOR VIDEO Will you either demonstrate for me or tell me how to set up i.e. 2 graphs comparing o2 sensors 1 and 2 (only have one bank) so i can see if i have a bad cat. i have looked endlessly directions for doing things on torque and kind find them. I would like to set up couple of graphs and save them prior to pairing up the phone. i don't know if i have bad cat or bad 02 downstream sensor on dodge with 90000 miles. wish there was a pamphlet or active forum to get on.
Hi mate, I just keep getting a message saying (can not connect to OBD interface), any ideas. It is connected to the phone on Bluetooth but nothing works.
If your looking to do buzz tests or cylinder tests download the Forscan app located in the Google Play Store it's a Ford specific app designed to run tests among other things. It's not free but the app is worth the cheap price for the benefits of the app.
Been using TorquePro for almost 3 years. Works great but a lot of initial setup. Got tired of searching for a reliable BT adapter. They seemed to not work far too often. Gave in and spent money on a high end adapter. Hasn't given a single connectivity issue.
Hi dieseltechron ...can you do a video for a I phone.....please..!!!!! And also if you can tell me what is the best scanner (or program for a laptop)........to work on diesel pickups ......I looking for one but no sure what to buy......thank you appreciate..!!!
Hey i am trying this app but after add predefined set nothing changes, in other words under the PIDS screen is still says normal instead of Custom. I have a 7.3 2000 model powerstroke. Any help would be great , Thanks
Having much the same problems as Milton is having. The Ford Dealer would only tell me that the #8 injector coded as the problem, after reading Miltons fuel filter problem wondering how common it is for the filter to deteriorate and cause injector problems, or if I have an injector problem at all.
Fuel filters don't just deteriorate. Change them once a year or every 15k only use Ford Motorcraft specific ones. As for the injectors if you download the Forscan app from the Google Play Store you can do injector buzz tests, cylinder tests among other stuff. The Forscan app is a Ford specific app while it's not free the apps benefits are worth the price I think it's around $5 I don't recall though.
such a great video. If I have a 2006 trailblazer, do i need to set up Pids and custom PID and what would that be for a trailblazer. Not sure where to search or find that info. thanks for making the video
@@crazyjayb7817 Yes it will work on a 7.3 powerstroke diesel. Get yourself the Forscan app for the Google Play Store while your at it. You can do injector buzz tests, cylinder tests among other things. While it's not a free app it's cheap and the benefits are great.
+DieselTechRon I also bought a obdlink mx wifi it's on it's way to me. I believe there is a need for more than one scan tool. Maybe you can do that too! You've been a tremendous asset to me!!
Does the Dash Boss read fuel pressure and egt's with the kit when used with a 7.3 powerstroke? I have read they aren't compatible with the older trucks with regards to egt and fuel pressure.
7.3 Powerstroke Diesel's don't have factory fuel pressure sensors or EGT probes. You'll need to buy gauges to monitor them. Glowshift gauges are decent quality for the price and work well for me. There's better more expensive gauges on the market available.
Can you please help me? I purchased an OBDII for Android. My car is 2004 Lexus RX330. I have navigation system but not bluetooth. So I use a Nulaxy Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter Radio Adapter Car Kit for bluetooth with my phone, I assumed the Torque Pro app and OBD scanner would work with it but whike it shows up on my list it won't pair, is there anything I could/should be doing??
I got the ELM327 with firmware V2.1 and everything talks. Had Android 4.4.4 but flash my tablet to use android 5.1.1. The software seems to favor kernels that have better and more stable support for bluetooth.
Everything would work for a few seconds on 4.4.4 Kitkat but I heard Android 5 on up has better support and stability. I guess it depends on the hardware you use the android hardware/software and its compatibility with bluetooth
Yes you need to buy the Pro version to get the Ford Powerstroke specific PIDS to monitor stuff. I suggest buying Forscan as well it's a Ford specific app designed to do injector buzz tests as well as cylinder contribution tests among other things.
hi Ron I'm having an issue with the sync. a lot of times it will not start if I grab harness on driver side valve cover and wiggle it it will start. where would you start looking in the harness for a bad connection? the dealership replaced cam sensor already saying that was the problem but it wasn't. any ideas would be much appreciated thank you
Is it an 04? Most are. I'm doing a loom right now. You can try disconnecting it from the cam sensor. Disconnect it from the cam sensor. Pull it out and inspect it. I get away with taping some or replace the loom.
+DieselTechRon yes it is 04. how much do you got to take apart to get it disconnected from the cam sensor? paid the dealership once to fix it. thanks for all your help
Great Video THANKS! We have a crank no start condition on a 2003 HPOP has been replaced once The ICP was replaced when the turbo was replaced a few months ago This started out as a Hot no start then got worse to a no start at all Air tested the oil system with no leaks We did find a hole in the IPR screen, cleaned IPR and replaced screen, then air tested it. Opening and closing with the OTC IPR tool Cranking we have the following FICM=52.0Volts (Aftermarket) FICM Sync=1 ICP Voltage = .5 IRP=83.5% HPOP=221PSI
+DieselTechRon ICP gets up to 0.5 Volts Cranking Air tested the oil system with the IPR Air fitting tool with no leaks We did find a hole in the IPR screen, cleaned IPR and replaced screen, then air tested it. Opening and closing with the OTC IPR control tool, it seemed to open and close just fine. We did get her started just now with Brake Clean and a new battery The new battery got our HPOP pressure up to 350psi once we shot the brake clean in she fired up while running HPOP=811psi IPR=32.1% ICP=1.1 Volts bumping the throttle the HPOP would climb up to 1200psi then fall as expected But the most she will make on the HPOP is 350+psi while cranking. I'm an Instrument and Controls technician so I have a question about the IPR QUESTION; Does the computer control and monitor the position of the IPR to display the % closed, or just send a voltage value to the solenoid to open or close the valve based on the voltage sent? Could the % be a false value? Meaning the computer thinks the IPR is 84% when really its hung up and not truly closing? Hoping this is not a bad HPOP, as we know it was replaced at some point in its life prior to us purchasing the truck, the former owner did the head studs, HPOP and aftermarket EGR cooler. We have replaced the FICM (Bullet Proof 52Volt), Garret Powermax Turbo, ICP sensor, and IPR screen twice Thanks for your advice
Sounds like a faulty Cam Position Sensor(CPS) does your tachometer move when cranking? Always carry a spare CPS in your glovebox with a ratchet, 10mm socket and short extension sensor's typically under $30 only buy Ford Motorcraft sensors never knock off junk from auto part stores. It's a 10 minute sensor change laying down under the truck.

+DieselTechRon ok thank u. Respect.
+DieselTechRon I also bought a obdlink mx wifi it's on it's way to me. I believe there is a need for more than one scan tool. Maybe you can do that too! You've been a tremendous asset to me!!
+DieselTechRon have you done the dashboard video on ford truck yet???
Does the Dash Boss read fuel pressure and egt's with the kit when used with a 7.3 powerstroke? I have read they aren't compatible with the older trucks with regards to egt and fuel pressure.
7.3 Powerstroke Diesel's don't have factory fuel pressure sensors or EGT probes. You'll need to buy gauges to monitor them. Glowshift gauges are decent quality for the price and work well for me. There's better more expensive gauges on the market available.
Can you please help me? I purchased an OBDII for Android. My car is 2004 Lexus RX330. I have navigation system but not bluetooth. So I use a Nulaxy Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter Radio Adapter Car Kit for bluetooth with my phone, I assumed the Torque Pro app and OBD scanner would work with it but whike it shows up on my list it won't pair, is there anything I could/should be doing??
hi ron, i couldnt find the bluetooth adapter on your ebay store. can you provide a link to it?
2001 7.3 Powerstroke diesel , I can't get the engine coolant temp to show up. what is the PID any suggestions ?
Can you do a buzz test I have 7.3 with the obd link lx
R.I.P
did any one have a hard time to get the ecu to work with your powerstroke mine will not work
Have you turned your key to the on position after being paired and starting the app?
vnmsenior I had to buy a better one the blue one didn't work
I got the ELM327 with firmware V2.1 and everything talks. Had Android 4.4.4 but flash my tablet to use android 5.1.1. The software seems to favor kernels that have better and more stable support for bluetooth.
Everything would work for a few seconds on 4.4.4 Kitkat but I heard Android 5 on up has better support and stability. I guess it depends on the hardware you use the android hardware/software and its compatibility with bluetooth
vnmsenior Who can I order the 327 from like you have ?
do i need to buy the PRO app instead of lite just to see codes/?
Yes you need to buy the Pro version to get the Ford Powerstroke specific PIDS to monitor stuff. I suggest buying Forscan as well it's a Ford specific app designed to do injector buzz tests as well as cylinder contribution tests among other things.
Thank you .
Ron is there anyway to hook into your glow plug controller
hi Ron I'm having an issue with the sync. a lot of times it will not start if I grab harness on driver side valve cover and wiggle it it will start. where would you start looking in the harness for a bad connection? the dealership replaced cam sensor already saying that was the problem but it wasn't. any ideas would be much appreciated thank you
Is it an 04? Most are. I'm doing a loom right now. You can try disconnecting it from the cam sensor. Disconnect it from the cam sensor. Pull it out and inspect it. I get away with taping some or replace the loom.
+DieselTechRon yes it is 04. how much do you got to take apart to get it disconnected from the cam sensor? paid the dealership once to fix it. thanks for all your help
I do more harnesses them sensor. Esp 04.

what Bluetooth adapter is the blue one u like the best . do u have a link are the name of it
I'm selling them on ebay under dieseltechron-ronh12. I'm not the cheapest because I'm personally opening and testing each one before it ships out.
Awesome
Great Video THANKS!
We have a crank no start condition on a 2003
HPOP has been replaced once
The ICP was replaced when the turbo was replaced a few months ago
This started out as a Hot no start then got worse to a no start at all
Air tested the oil system with no leaks
We did find a hole in the IPR screen, cleaned IPR and replaced screen, then air tested it. Opening and closing with the OTC IPR tool
Cranking we have the following
FICM=52.0Volts (Aftermarket)
FICM Sync=1
ICP Voltage = .5
IRP=83.5%
HPOP=221PSI
How high is the icp building? did you air leak it? Did you make sure the ipr valve is seating
+DieselTechRon
ICP gets up to 0.5 Volts Cranking
Air tested the oil system with the IPR Air fitting tool with no leaks
We did find a hole in the IPR screen, cleaned IPR and replaced screen, then air tested it.
Opening and closing with the OTC IPR control tool, it seemed to open and close just fine.
We did get her started just now with Brake Clean and a new battery
The new battery got our HPOP pressure up to 350psi
once we shot the brake clean in she fired up
while running
HPOP=811psi
IPR=32.1%
ICP=1.1 Volts
bumping the throttle the HPOP would climb up to 1200psi then fall as expected
But the most she will make on the HPOP is 350+psi while cranking.
I'm an Instrument and Controls technician so I have a question about the IPR
QUESTION; Does the computer control and monitor the position of the IPR to display the % closed, or just send a voltage value to the solenoid to open or close the valve based on the voltage sent?
Could the % be a false value? Meaning the computer thinks the IPR is 84% when really its hung up and not truly closing?
Hoping this is not a bad HPOP, as we know it was replaced at some point in its life prior to us purchasing the truck, the former owner did the head studs, HPOP and aftermarket EGR cooler.
We have replaced the FICM (Bullet Proof 52Volt), Garret Powermax Turbo, ICP sensor, and IPR screen twice
Thanks for
your advice

Sounds like a faulty Cam Position Sensor(CPS) does your tachometer move when cranking? Always carry a spare CPS in your glovebox with a ratchet, 10mm socket and short extension sensor's typically under $30 only buy Ford Motorcraft sensors never knock off junk from auto part stores. It's a 10 minute sensor change laying down under the truck.
