Great video, I liked that you showed how all the bolts went back in. Curious if it could be done without disconnecting the AC and just leaning it forward
Fantastic video! Very detailed. Will be using this to help replace the primary radiator in my 2015 6.7 power stroke diesel. Thanks for the part numbers as well!
Just did this on my 2012. Your video was super helpful! Been smelling coolant for months. Finally started dripping so I could find leak. Got it all hooked back up and of course top hose is leaking. It also feels loose though. Doesn't sit tight like bottom hose. Going in the morning to get new seal. The seal isn't the white part is it? Goes behind it? I'm not best mechanical person, but I was able to do this without disconnecting the ac lines! Lol
I did a F450 hit in the front and had to change everything back to the fan assembly. I liked how everything bolts together. Plus I was using originally Ford parts which makes things so much easier. Keep up the great vids!
Love your videos. Good video quality and good information. I wish Ford didn't cram so much stuff in there. I drive a RAM w/ Cummins because it has never let me down and its easy to work on. Keep up the good work.
Great video! I’ve got to replace the primary radiator on my 11’ 6.7 at home. Am I able to lay the condenser forward and still leave the a/c system alone?
PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod just finished the job, adding coolant right now and checking for leaks, etc. so you can do it with out disconnecting the condenser, just unbolt and pull it away, it’s a pain in the butt. But once that was done I was able to fish the primary radiator out of the truck and install the new one.
6.7L Powerstroke Fridays!? COUNT ME IN! Yet another excellent video from you. The part numbers REALLY help us out. This job is one that I haven't looked forward to doing when it comes time, but now I'm not really that concerned about it. What is the book time on the Re&Re? Also, I'm subscribing... Got my fingers crossed for a driveability/emissions diag video with the IDS next ;)
I have gone through the original, 3 Mishimoto rads, and now on another ford radiator in my 2013 with 260k miles. I can do the swap in less than two hours under my carport. You don’t have to remove a/c condenser. The current radiator has been in now for two years with no issues
Very Excellent videos! Hope I never have to use them LOL!! But if I do your on the top of the list. About to acquire a 14 6.7 SD. My first Diesel. 12000 miles on it. Long story, but its been in a body shop for three year so I will have some fluids to change and things to look at based on your videos. Have to check those cable troughs. Probably should check the EGR cooler as it has has some out and ins at the shop. don't think it has had much wild oats stirring. Need to break her FREEE.... Any recommendations given its captivity? Thanks for what you are doing and sharing.
Ok. Hahaha just those 0 or below days be nice. Also do you have to vacuum bleed these trucks. I heard they tend to get hot spots from air bubbles a lot.
You should private message me sometime so we can chat. No you don't have 2. Some vehicles you do, but i personally do not do that 2 the P-strokes..never have had 2.
Well either you can give me ur email on here or you can goto my channel & request the desktop version, under my channel art you'll see "About" click on that and private message is there.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod any recommendations for a all aluminum radiator that fits like OEM? Looking at a www.bulletproofdiesel.com/all-aluminum-radiator-ford-power-stroke-diesel-6-0-p/all_aluminum_radiator_ford_6.0.htm
That was excellent!!!! One question. Do you have to capture the ac? In other words, can you do this without disconnecting the ac? Great job on video and explaining everything.
The 6.7 doesn't need to be vacuum filled. Every1 i do i just fill all the way to the cold mark. Start it up. Let it run for 5-10 minutes. Add as necessary. All of the Powerstrokes are that way...they just burp the air out themselves. No over heat conditions ever present.
No no them ones crack because the oil cooler restricts coolant flow internally to the egr cooler..thus rupturing "cracking" the cooler blowing white smoke the the tail pipe
I would have at least given you a clean truck. 😲!! Look at all that salt behind the grill . I live in the north east. Salt sucks! Needs a good wash and Fluid Film before reassembley, if I was d i y in my driveway. As always great video.
I know you work on powerstrokes a lot but how many 5.0 engines you see come in that's bad? My 2017 at the shop for new motor for number 3 cylinder down
Aw c'mon man getting to that second petcock is easy as pie, you just have to fire up Autocad and boom done, just ask the engineer! When every I have to do a rad pull I have a 1/4 of one of those big square plastic totes that they use to transport oil, chemicals etc in that I cut down so basically just is one of those big totes cut 3/4 off. I just slide it under the rads and let it drain in there, dump it into a pail and then dump the rest in with the other used coolant for the recyclers . No mess and easy as hell to clean up. Nothing wrong with your method of removing the rad, you can give ten guys the same job and guaranteed you will see guys do different methods that they think is best for them. Nothing wrong with that. What I find funny is how many 6.7 owners have no clue that there is two radiators in the truck, I swear it's like they never looked under the hood or truck. I am still not a fan of the plastic on the rads, just doesnt last long IMHO but thats a rant for a different day, nice work as usual man.
What does Ford think? 8005DD 0.4, 8005C 0.4 8005CFX 0.3 for 3.1 total.What do I think? I think I do the exact same job almost the exact same way you do. It is odd that Ford uses very difficult to access radiator drain petcocks, not only on these trucks but numerous other vehicles as well, too numerous to mention here. Now, I hope I never need to do this job on my own 2016 F-250 6.7L....
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod You're killing me! I just ordered the aluminum one 2 nights ago. At least it was a good price. Sounds like the entire truck needs to be disposed of, time for a Chevy!!

Need to do a video on replacing a water pump on the new body Explorers. I wonder how many motors were lost when the tech didn't properly lock down the cams.
Gosh i just did 2 back to back on patrol explorers. I thought about it...was tryin to crank em both out in a day didnt have time 2 film. Next 1 i will!!

I just swapped mine yesterday 2016 leaking in the same place. Wish I watched this first I did it a little different, it wasn’t that bad of a job. Just a little work.
Having to change a radiator at 117k miles is BS! Im about to change out my primary at 167k miles, all highway miles, for the same exact reason. Drivers side gasket is busted. My Dad is retired Ford Tech, I was at his house a couple days ago when I seen the dripping on his driveway. First thing he said, "Crawl under there and see if its dripping off the side of the Radiator.". Sure enough, first thing I see is it dripping off the bottom corner of the drivers side, right behind the petcock. Took a picture, showed it to him, and he says, "Yup, the gaskets they use to joint the plastic tank to the aluminim fin body ALWAYS fails." He said 9 out of 10 times, when a truck came in for a coolant leak, this was the culprit. $600 per radiator is insane, when Ford KNOWS this is an issue. I wont be able to change it out for another week or two, so Im sure Ill blow another $100-$200 on coolant before I can get the radiator changed out. These trucks are so expensive, we shouldnt be having to deal with nonsense like this. I wish I didnt have to drag a trailer around all over the midwest, or I would go back to driving my 92' f350 crewcab LB. I completely rebuilt the 351 and the c6 in it, but it still doesnt have the power and the gas milage my 2016 6.7L does. Its just a toy now.
My bro has a 2017 psd that overheats while towing and or using the exhaust brake. I haven't looked it over or checked for leaks or coolant level. Mostly because I don't give a fuck. He's got a warranty lol

I hear these radiators are problematic? My buddy called the local dealer to price one and they were on backorder with no expected date.
Good video , so what is the price tag on a job like this go for
Rad like 800 + labor 3hrs or so
Why did you have to change? I have a small leak on the drivers side don’t know where it’s coming from. Should I just change it?
Ahh yea
Was the leak puddled on the ground on front driver side below the headlight?
Yahh
Thank you i thought thats what the verdict was going to be.
My 2015 F350 primary is leaking as well, should I change out my water pump while My radiator is out ? Thanks
...i mean u cld
When you fill it will it purge all the air out or is there a special way to do it?
All Ford diesels just fill em up!
