Got two Archoil kits, one for my 1995 School bus, and one for my 1999 Van. Both run the 7.3 and both have over 200k miles, the van has 376k. Thanks Bill for your advice and sharing your expertise!
Something we have been seeing on newer model with oil leaks, excessive crankcase pressure. Mostly on high idle time trucks. To check this, fire it up reve it. Then pull the oil fill cap while running. Engineering has said any noticeable pressure, you need to replace the crankcase breather box.
That would have been the 426 HEMI thank you very much! Lol. Love your channel Bill. Unfortunately my truck is a 08 6.4 which you won't touch, but they make power like no other Powerstrokes. 12.20 1/4 mile. Crew cab, long bed. Exhaust, intake, stock fuel. Teeny bit of tuning too Lol. As soon as I can afford one of your trucks, I'll be in touch! ✌
We do this repair alot at my dealership. Especially on the newer 17-19 model's. Have saw quite of few of them leaking at the secondary oil pan with little to no miles on them.
Dalton Smith The robot that does the sealer squirting didn’t go heavy enough on the one corner where it all comes together. I heard that robot is now been put on desk duty.
@Myballsitchsomethingfierce 2011s had plastic pans because the older trucks steel pans used to rust out so Ford tried to remedy that with a plastic pan but that ceeates its own problems.
My 1989 f-350 7.3 has 480,000 on it does not use a drop of oil if changed every 3,000 miles, I changed glow plugs about 275,000 it is just now getting a little hard to start on cool mornings, my only grips are the wiring and transmission (3) so far I am wondering if I could put a later model trans in it ? Anybody ???
The '11 F250+'s are real nice with the upper oil pan as it just uses a replaceable gasket+Rtv. Unfortunately later models do away with that and utilizes a bead of Rtv all around the perimeter of the Upper oil pan. Also, you should have went ahead and replaced the gasket on the front cover since you were basically already there, I get a lot of early and late model 6.7s that leak from the front cover.
Bill, my little area is dense with Powerstroke emergency vehicles. Only AMR does a diaper load of idling. The rest of the Emergency Response Vehicles typically only idle during calls, although outside the city limits, with the exception of AMR, They have a high idleswitch that brings them up to the neighborhood of 1-1.4k rpm.
As a Ford tech I'd go ahead and reseal the front cover along with an upper oil pan reseal. Especially on the newer silicone gasket style upper oil pans. If the front cover leaks after just doing the upper oil pan reseal. Then you'll have to take the upper oil pan off again.
Hello Bill thank you for your service to the power stroke community. I heard you in the video mentioned that you wouldn’t recommend running 25k on Amsoil. I run both amsoil signature synthetic and Archoil on my 7.3 with bypass filter. What would be a good interval on 7.3 that you would recommend. Thank you in advance!!!
Hey bill I got a 2013 6.7 with 170,000 and it’s got a “muffler delete” and all the goodies. I was wonder if the idle still affects the engines life the same since it’s not breathing all that soot?
Pretty please get a new camera! Thanks for sharing fellas. Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 6.7 next year. Old boi 7.3 is starting to show his age...
I recently took my 2004 Ford 350 6.0 (190.,000 miles) to check out a consistent missing after the engine warmed up. This diesel shop is the top rated shop in out town. They found by their diagnostic testing that 4 of the 8 injectors were fouling up after it warmed up. Two on either side. We replaced all injectors with Ford factory injectors and it ran like a champ. After 4 weeks,. It started to miss again. The shop got right on it and found problems with 2 injectors. Ford furnished 2 new injectors and paid for the labor for installation. It's running like a champ again. My question is , How often do you find Ford factory injectors are bad? I enjoy your site. Thanks
Being a ford tech that job for just the upper oil pan is about 10 hours warranty. Now if the front cover is leaking you can get 14-15 hours. It’s a lot of work for little pay.
My automotive teacher in highschool said when he was a tech he could install a 4l80 chevy trans by hand, he was a big man but i don't even think he could handle a 6r140.
I would love to see a video on any other common issues/theme's you are seeing with the 6.7 now. my 14' only has 69k miles but I would love to fix anything before it becomes a problem.
My '14 has 200k miles as of last week and I have to do my upper oil pan next week. Check out Powerstroke Tech Talk with Arod on YT he works for a Ford dealer and has lots of good info on these trucks as well.
how many mishimoto radiators have you put in that 6.7? no one around here uses them anymore as they last about a year. the plastic ones last in my experience as the mishimoto's dont. i know they are lifetime warranty but who wants to replace for a lifetime....
Why does my 174,000 mile 2006 6.0 always have rough starts mainly in cold weather, it always runs smooth once oil temperature reaches 125 degrees. I faithfully use archoil ar6200 in the fuel and ar9100 in the engine oil and it gets changed every 5000 miles with a high quality full synthetic oil. Any remedies short of new injectors?
Not to mention the vacuum pump seals on the front of the engine that leak too. I think the forget to tighten the bolts that hold the pump on. most of the bolts are finger tight.
Did the prep clothes get used to clean surfaces before RTV was applied? A ford tech friend says that SSM from Ford added that to the repair instructions and it took care of repeat upper oil pan leaks.
It was a Ford cross bolt 427 not a 427 hemi. The hemi was never called a 427 but was called a 426 hemi. I love the videos. I have a 2004 6.0l F250 4x4.
Did you compensate for the lost Archoil? I bought a gallon of Archoil for my two Honda's. You guy probably buy it in 55 gallon drums and save a bunch of $$.
I just did my first oil change on my 19 6.7 and used a motorcraft filter. It leaks a little bit and has spotted the bottom of the truck. Its super snug i even gave it almost half a turn with the wrench after hand tight. Any suggestions??
What is type of oil bypass system does this truck have? I see a amsoil filter, but it doesn't look like the Amsoil bypass kit. I.see what looks like a oil filter sandwich. Also, Where to you run the return line from the bypass to?
Brandon Kisner Did Your “upper” oil pan leak? I have a 19 6.7 too and watch mine like a hawk lol Its dry so far. I have a bit over 30k on mine. Did yours just get wet looking or actually drip?
@@powerstrokehelp 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thats true man... My Toyota Hilux cant handle a real mans job. Im happy I have my 00 Excursion 7.3 🏋️♂️to do that stuff Bill😅👍. Thanks for a good Powerstroke channel. Whatch you from Norway🇧🇻
Wouldn't it be easier and better to just pull the engine and re-seal it on a stand then removing the trans and fighting with the crossmember and getting oil dripping on you???????
Jeff Anderson I think duramax went plastic this year for both oil and for trans pan. I think the 2020 Powerstroke tranny that is shared with the duramax also will have a plastic tranny pan. Duramax used such a thin grade of steel for their oil pans that they rust thru in like 6 years. Right after warranty. ;)
Who ever makes marketing decision in the company is a genius. Keeping the retro (dgaf) video / audio quality makes this channel stand out.
Thank you Bill, your videos have been so informative to me and understanding the value of these trucks, I now own a 01 F350 7.3 and 05 F250 6.0.
You make me so proud to have a 7.🌳 and also being from the south.
I daily a 7.3 too. Black tuned 01 6in lifted crew cab 4x4 lariat auto. Slow as hell.
My 2014 F550 has had 2 upper oil pan leaks over first 25,000 miles...hope second time was the charm. All done under warranty. Good video.
Got two Archoil kits, one for my 1995 School bus, and one for my 1999 Van. Both run the 7.3 and both have over 200k miles, the van has 376k.

Take care of it and it will last
Once again an awesome video!
Wow, judging by the thumbnail, Archoil even fixes a leaky oilpan!
That's a lot of miles. Congrats!
A 6.7 is just like a 7.3 both have 18 head bolts on the head and leak oil after 200,000 miles 😂😂
The only place I’ve experienced leaking oil on a 7.3 is the high pressure oil pump.
We do this repair alot at my dealership. Especially on the newer 17-19 model's. Have saw quite of few of them leaking at the secondary oil pan with little to no miles on them.

1999 F350 7.3 with 427493 miles never had valve covers off!! No leaks no blow by!
cuz those fukn things have no power
Maintenance is key, change oil every 3,000 and don’t overheat them and 7.3s run FOREVER. 380,000 on my 96 on original everything on motor.
Blah blah blah..my 7.3 blah blah blah.

I own two work trucks with 7.3 motors, low miles still. We just start and go ! Very dependable just do normal maintenance !

Not to mention the vacuum pump seals on the front of the engine that leak too. I think the forget to tighten the bolts that hold the pump on. most of the bolts are finger tight.
This is due to the bolts backing out over time from engine vibrations, I always use locktite when re-installing the vacuum pump.
In the south u guys hate oil leaks up north we love them
Self oiling frame no rust, gotta love it
Did the prep clothes get used to clean surfaces before RTV was applied? A ford tech friend says that SSM from Ford added that to the repair instructions and it took care of repeat upper oil pan leaks.
'11-'12 have a gasket pan '13 and later have silicone and require the wipes.
It was a Ford cross bolt 427 not a 427 hemi. The hemi was never called a 427 but was called a 426 hemi. I love the videos. I have a 2004 6.0l F250 4x4.
I'm sorry
DAMN! I got my kit before this offer was made...
Bill I was looking at a 2015 with 6:7 with 80000 miles what are their problems that you would fix
How much do you charge for that job on my 2011 it just started seeping at 270,000
My 14 6.7 only has 79k miles and it has a small leak in the front. Many say it's from lose vacuum pump bolts.
On my 15 the vacuum pump started leaking (ford wants to replace pump) but why if it just needs to be resealed.$600 total
Did you compensate for the lost Archoil? I bought a gallon of Archoil for my two Honda's. You guy probably buy it in 55 gallon drums and save a bunch of $$.
Odessa tx 👌
Do you ever make any videos on 7.3's '89 and so on.?
What's the best way to know if my transmission has power take off or not?
Has Mike EVER said “no” to any question?
The vacuum pump will leak on these too and make you think it's an oil pan gasket or main cover.
They sure will.....Mine was loose and leaking bad.
Is it Mikey who is your son working there, or was that "G"?
That's G
Why not for the winter kit!?!? I just ordered it. Its winter!!

Did you make sure the gasket came off with the old filter?
What is type of oil bypass system does this truck have? I see a amsoil filter, but it doesn't look like the Amsoil bypass kit. I.see what looks like a oil filter sandwich. Also, Where to you run the return line from the bypass to?
Just out of curiosity how much did the upper pan repair cost? I think mine is starting to seep
How much did the upper pan repair cost?
Hello bill is spot still working... make one of her running plz..
I second that motion👍
I’ve heard a few people being able to remove the oil pan without removing the transmission by jacking up the engine.
So to do a crank sensor you have to remove tranny what's Ford thinking
I had a leak for the oil pan since 20k miles
annnnnd it's deleted LOL seems like the only way to keep these new diesels running
I heard that exhaust note when Mikey drove it on the hoist...funny!!
You can tell since the oil is so clean lol. My oil stays clean for about 5-6k miles
Should reseal the rear engine cover if your that deep. Only an extra 30 mins to do so and a 20 dollar gasket
What’s joes channel called ?
Ok, I have to ask. What is the silicone/sealant Motorcraft that y'all love so much? Got a PN? 👍
Ford grey. It's like super glue in the rtv world lol. It's amazing stuff.

Will the leak comeback due to the lack of a real gasket?
Why not a new oil cooler?

To pull the engine you have to remove the entire front clip or the cab.

Why is the factory oil pan plastic? talk about planned obsolescence 🤦🏻♂️
Jeff Anderson I think duramax went plastic this year for both oil and for trans pan. I think the 2020 Powerstroke tranny that is shared with the duramax also will have a plastic tranny pan. Duramax used such a thin grade of steel for their oil pans that they rust thru in like 6 years. Right after warranty. ;)
Meanwhile Cummins is still old fashion
They were only plastic on '11-'12 after that they are the steel they "upgraded" to.
