  • Hello!
    Thanks for stopping by! In this video I explain the importance of buying the correct filters for your diesel truck! Then I show how to properly install both the upper and lower fuel filter on a 6.4 power strike as well as how to replace the filter on a Sinister Diesel coolant filtration kit. After performing the work I show the correct fuel system bleed procedure which must be done after changing the fuel filters! If you forget to bleed the fuel system you could spend hours trying to get the air out of it!
    At the end of the video I briefly explain the importance of regularly changing fuel filter on a Diesel engine as well as discus the Archoil fuel additive I run.
    Here is the Amazon link where I purchased the Motorcraft fuel filters: www.amazon.com/dp/B003VUY72S?...
    Here is the Amazon link to the coolant filter: www.amazon.com/WIX-Filters-Co...
    Here is a link to the sinister diesel coolant filtration kit: sinisterdiesel.com/sinister-d...
    Here is a link to a video I made about Archoil a few years ago: • The truth about Archoil

    When I change the fuel filters, I do it with less than half a tank and park on an incline. I drain the lower filter housing 1st (without removing the filter), then change the upper filter. Next I change the lower filter. It's a lot less messy. A fine tooth, flex head ratchet is very convenient for changing the lower filter. You also want to drain the fuel/water separator (lower filter drain valve) a few times between filter changes to make sure there is no water. You only need to drain a little to see if there's any water. The high pressure injection pump makes up to 25,000 psi and a little bit of water will kill it

    Every now and then i extend to 6 or 7k between changes if im to busy. But i never let it get beyond 7k between changes. I also put one quart of power punch in on every change.

    I just bought a used 2008 6.4L Power Stroke with 194,000 miles and have found this channel to be incredibly helpful with the basic maintenance that I wanted to do as soon as I pulled the truck up in my driveway. The part that I most fascinated with is the fact that your truck isn't deleted. I'm considering keeping it 100% stock, but..........I'm also on the fence with this whole DPF/EGR delete. I have all kinds of concerns with removing unnecessary emissions parts with the best of intentions that could benefit the engine's longevity and performance, but have concerns about having additional costly issues later on down the road like a cracked up pipe due to EGR deletion. I have zero intentions of dogging this 15 year old truck and would really like to hear from other 6.4 Power Stroke owners who have successfully kept their truck stock over the years and what they did to keep it relatively healthy.

    • @robhardy1109
      @robhardy1109 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The regen cycle on the 6.4 is the most destructive thing imaginable. It pumps raw diesel into the back 2 cylinders on the exhaust stroke so the fuel can make it into the soot trap. Washes out the cylinder walls and destroys the surface and rings.
      Flash the regen out asap.

    In case someone doesn't know there is a thing called ghost tune. You can hollow out your dpf and over write the factory computer. Scanner will say every is at 100 percent. Factory 6.4 is good for 115000 if you are lucky. Coolant filter? Little sand?

  • @boonedawg1506
    @boonedawg1506 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    All the years I had my 6.0, I never greased my o rings and they never got stuck. Takes more than a fuel filter change to keep a 6.0 or 6.4 running forever. Do your maintenance per the schedule and the truck will never strand you. If the 6.4 pump is same as 6.0 it's the hfcm. Drop the archoil and run amsoil. Better oil goes farther than additives.

    If you remove the bottom filter first, you won't have to deal with all of the fuel in the upper filter housing since it will drain down.

  • @RileySantiago

    Is it safe to drain off the filter back into the engine? Seems like it would carry a bunch of particles past the filter housing.

    • @jhawk1776
      @jhawk1776  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s an interesting point I believe all the fuel in that housing in forced back though the new filter before it leaves the housing. So I don’t think it really matters. Thanks for the comment though, always good to be thinking about things like that!
      Thanks for watching!

    • @hikerJohn
      @hikerJohn ปีที่แล้ว

      You loosen the filter before you drain the oil. The dirt on the filter stays on the filter, only the oil drains down into the pan to be removed and replaced with new oil. You are not back-flushing the filter.

    • @gregm4441
      @gregm4441 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I would say no, it is not safe at all. Anything on the filter, and all the fuel that was not filtered that's in the housing can now go into your fuel pump. Letting it drip only lets more trash fall in there. That housing needs to be drained 1st. Only basic logic tells you that.

    Well there may be one or two the junk ford 6.4 out there that are still living but I have an 08 450 with the 6.4 in it that was blown with only 54k miles on it. Truck was bought new no mods done dealer did all maintenance on the truck on schedule down to the wiper blades. Only Ford techs ever touched this truck and it was done at the dealership. Ford wouldn’t help replace the motor because it was technically out of warranty by 30days when it got towed in to the dealership. Paid to have new motor installed at a tone of $22K with only a 1 year warranty. Two months after that the high pressure fuel pump went out. That was again “not under warranty”. Then the whole front end had to be replaced. Then the front drive shaft let go and took the transmission, transfer case, fuel pump/filter, 3 hard fuel lines, cross member and a few other odds and ends out. Now it’s been back in for the turbo back pressure switch. Again dealership maintained. So word of advice do not buy a Ford diesel after they quit with the 7.3l this truck now only has a total of 115k miles on it on the frame and I could of bought this truck like three times for what I have in repairs for this junk. Ford needs to do better. Yes I love my ford trucks but they need to prove to me they will last before I ever buy another truck. It’s hard to spend $90,000 plus on a truck you may have to spend another $40,000 on in 3 years once that warranty runs out to keep it running 🤷‍♂️

      ya interesting. When I bought my truck it had 400k kms on it but the DPF had been deleted in the beginning and the tune had kept the EGR valve closed its entire life. I removed the egr and cooler and replaced the up pipes, put a coolant filter in too. Honestly the fuel economy is another big thing to think about too. Im getting 10Liters/100KM which is 28MPG. My friend has same truck with no delete running stock and he gets about 15MPG. If you do delete it then get new up pipes at the same time and install a coolant filter.@@silverback72745

I'm currently researching other options for physical egr removal. I absolutely don't want cracked up pipes later on down the road.
