Maintenance maintenance maintenance, is what I hear mechanics say about diesel trucks. Take time for maintenance yet many people seems to forget that part. A diesel truck is not a gas vehicle. With on-time maintenance these vehicles can go long way. Great video. I love powerstrokes, best trucks ever.
2007 6.0 Power Stroke. 465,000 miles. John Deere Plus-50 ll 15w-40 oil every 5,000 miles with Archoil. Fuel Filters every 10,000 miles. Trans every 30,000. Archoil or Howes fuel treatment at every fill up. No DEF ✌️
Most problems with the 6.7 are due to lack of maintenance. The fuel system is extremely sensitive to contaminants and the engine dumps a ton of soot in the oil. Keep the fluid and filters clean and she will treat well.
I have my oil tested after every oil change. Before deleting the fuel dilution and some other numbers were a bit high. After deleting everything dropped. The lab couldn't figure what I did different with that oil change. Running 8500 miles on standard Motorcraft oil and the tests come back really good.
Yes sir 👏that's the secret of a healthy and strong vehicle...MAINTENANCE gas or diesel u dnt take good care of ur transportation u will spend more money. Good day sir stay safe.
I repair a drilling company vehicles. They don't do squat to them till something quits or breaks. I keep trying to tell them maint. For whatever reason, they'd rather buy new vehicles when they hit 100-110k instead of doing maint and having them well past 200k. But they always b***h and complain when one has to have a complete fuel system overhaul. I find sand in the filters often. They often have P20B9 and P228F codes. A lot of their problems come from their "hands." Not their vehicles so treat them like crap. I hate seeing 50k miles trucks that look like they have 300k on them. Half the time I have no idea why they mess with stuff under the hood. The way the trucks are mistreated, often makes it hard to diag them properly. They never get washed and look like they go mudding every day inside and out.
Thanks for the advice. I had a 6.4 (was a good engine for me, got lucky I guess) for a five years before trading it for a 13, 6.7 in your new favorite color...Green Gem. It was a beautiful F350, outstanding color. I have a 17 F350 now, and regrettably that color was no longer available so I went with Blue Jeans. Old lady I was with for a while needed a new farm truck and we test drove a Ram w/ ho diesel, I hated it, felt slow and didn't like the style. Ford has them all beat for damn sure.
Sounds like my dads same story, he had a 6.4 and I swear to god it’s the only 6.4 I know of that didn’t delete its pistons at 400k and actually made it to 600k before he got his blue 2013 6.7 after that truck he got a black alumiduty and that truck was deleted and tuned (was my personal favorite of them all), I’ve tried the dodge Cummins trucks as well I even owned a 96 2500 for a year and was honestly one of the slowest trucks I’ve ever owned (my 4.7 1500 ram is hella faster than it) and I replaced that sack of garbage with a 7.3 after the trans blew out of it. The 7.3 made it all the way to my uncles junk yard then died about a 1/4 of the way home but since I got it for free from my dads work I just kind of said “the hell with this” and left it there. I’m now looking for a 05-07 f250 with the 6.0 in it, has to be 4x4, has to be long bed, preferably crew cab, and bulletproofed is fine.
4. Go ahead and buy a replacement intake tube. Knew it was a know issue and I put it off. It got me this past weekend. Lucky for me I was 10 miles from a ford dealer and they had the part in stock. $135 dollars later, swapped it out in the parking lot and was good to go.
Rotella T6 and Motorcraft 2051S every 6500 to 7000 miles. Motorcraft fuel filters every 13000 to 14000. I fill the DEF tank when it gets to about 1/2. Never run below that. Motorcraft air filter as needed. Do not do the convenience store for fuel (unless on a road trip, limited choices and burning it out right away). I buy my diesel at the same place in town almost all of the time. I do wish with my 6.7 F350's had the DPF/Catalyst system on the 650-750. Would love it if the DPF could be separated and the catalyst cleaned like on the Big Boys when needed.
Enjoy your vidoes. My F550 gets 5w-40 as I consider it severe service...attached to 35 foot motorhome. However, on my second upper oil pan repair 1.5 year later. Just rolled over 29,000 miles. Love the truck. Appreciate your info.
Robert Radabah; yea coolant maintenance is key too. A little surprised he didn’t mention that one. But I suppose he’s just mentioning the maintenance or lack of he sees most that cause problems.
Thanks for the advice. Fuel filters every other oil change, oil change @7000 miles (recommended by blackstone oil analysts) w / 5w40 rotella t6. Tire rotation @ 5000. Fill up the def when the light comes on. Air filter by the guage. Everything else is by the book. Sound good ARod?
Dream to drive. I have a 2016 f350 short bed crew. 178k on the clock. Pull small tractor and sometimes a car/humvee. Need this thing to run great and these videos help.
Took stars diesel performance in Kansas City last month. Instructor stated the 6.7 in the 650 & 750 are DERATED about 100 hp less than the 250 - 550 series trucks. The 6.7 is no joke.... 2020 model trucks are gonna be OVER 1000 lb/ft of torque with beefier internal engine components! The haters will be speechless my friend.... take care
My annoyance with my DEF is that, even though it’s a 5 gallon tank, when the gauge cluster says “less than 1/2 full”, it only takes ~2.3 gallons to fill. So I’m left with a few cups of extra DEF in the plastic jug that I don’t need.
Ya know there is the ability to go to 2X speed, right? Worked for me, that and fast forwarding got me to the exciting conclusion in around two minutes :-D
Tried to change my fuel filters but the one on the frame rail wouldn’t stop draining. Got about 2 gallons before I decided to stop. I did just fill up the tank though.
11-16 you have to turn the lower filter housing about 2 turns before draining. There a plunger or something in there that keeps the fuel from pouring out when you drop the housing. 17+ should stop draining after about half a gallon. Totally different housing though.
I have been thinking of getting a diesel This is what my basic maintaince would look like Thoughts? All input is welcome ! Get extended warranty Oil change every 5km Fuel filters every 15km Drain water filter once per month Use fuel aditive like hotshots Install high rpm idle switch Turn OCR on Drive it like you stole it to maintain dpf Keep DEF topped off Should i get a by pass cp4 pump kit? Is there a way to keep track of the DEF heater? So if it dies I know right away?
Never thought of the relevance of 250s to 750s. Definitely some info to keep in your back pocket. But how much cooler would a Dark Red/Black look vs Dark Green/Black? No need for an epirb balancing weight as applied to a paramotor.
Macy Landscaping no one wants to be playing that game with the National Compliance Initiatives the EPA is implementing currently. Deleted trucks beware!
2019 F-450 Limited. Every 5K mo matter what. Rotella T6 5w40, Motorcraft everything. Even run the Motorcraft fuel additive! Blackstone test said I could do 7K... haven’t adjusted the schedule yet though. Amazingly low fuel dilution at 5K.
Running the same setup, Rotella T6 5w40 and all Motorcraft filters. Blackstone still has good reports for it. Cant see myself going any higher though. Im deleted so that may make a difference in the oil life.
When it shows the hours and mileage, those are two individual measurements correct? You have 25,000 driving + (X number of idling hours x 30)? Correct? What does idling include, time in park and engine running, time stopped and below a certain RPM even though in Drive? You see where I’m going with this.....
Great video. We just traded our 2016 F350 dually in on a Ford 2019. It had 455,000, yes 455,000 miles on it. Rotella T and Ford filter every 10- 12K, Ford fuel filters every 20K. Started using Ford Cetane but those stupid paper discs under the cap kept falling into tank causing low pressure fuel pump to burn out. Switched to Howe’s. High pressure pump and injectors needed to be replaced so was time to upgrade. Any thoughts on Amsoil?
By the looks of it the DPF in the 750, it is modular, that needs to happen to the 2,3,450s. At 4k$ to buy the DPF , having a modular system for clean ability is the way to go. Great video, you always have great videos, very important subject, thank you!
A-Rod, Good mornin' my man. I've never seen anyone do a literal side-by-side comparison between the pickups and the big boys. Same, but different. I also noticed that the layout on top of the engine differs a little also. Very interesting. Maintenance on my 223000KM F-250: Motorcraft 10W30 CONVENTIONAL oil year-round Motorcraft oil filter Every 5000KMs Motorcraft upper and lower fuel filters Motorcraft air filter Every 10000KMs Motorcraft DEF FILLED when dash says less than 100KMs to Empty Motorcraft Cetane Booster 125ml every tank Runs like new. Have a good weekend Mr. Sir, -Adrenacyde P.S. I do not use or endorse Milwaukee tools
The U-joint at the trans of the work truck needs replacing. The U-joint bearing cap is spinning in the trunion of the yoke. Replace U-joint and use a new strap kit.
Stupid question about batteries. I just swapped out the factory batteries in my 2019 F250 6.7 with some AGM batteries. I swapped 1 at a time to keep power to the truck. Because I did it this way, does the truck need to relearn anything or is there anything I need to change settings on? First Powerstroke and loving it! Also, what is the best way to monitor voltage on the system? Or does the computer do a good enough job to let you know when something is array? Thank you!
I have a 2012 f550 with the 6.7 and I have what sounds like an air intrusion I’ve changed the fuel pump module from ford and the pickup inside the tank diid you ever hear of the fuel line o rings going bad where the quick connector is on the tank and the fuel pump on the rail and I see no signs of fuel leaks at all thought my problem would be the 1 line coming from the tank to the fuel pump on the rail sucking air any input on that thanks
I'm right there with ya. Just did an oil change with Rotella T6 5w-40 (FL2051S filter of course), Motorcraft FD-4625 fuel filters and monitor my S&B CAI. My 2017 runs like a dream.
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently debating the 2020 F250 with the 6.7L Powerstroke or 7.3L gas. I appreciate this video being that I have never owned a diesel before and have no idea what I would be getting into.
5,000 synthetic lof 10,000 fuel filters. Do you recommend Rotella T6? 2017 only 16,000 miles. I have a company vehicle. Explains the low miles. But I tow most of the miles this truck has.I did a break in oil change at 1,000 2,500 5,000 switched to motorcraft synthetic at 10,000. Am I nuts😉. Edit, spray her down twice a year with Fluid Film.
Is the computer pretty accurate when telling the owner to get an oil change done. Or should you just base oils change intervals off a certain number of miles or hours
Interesting how RAM publishes a 15,000 mile oil change interval for the 6.7L Cummins engine. That’s much longer than Arod’s recommendation for the Ford 6.7 or even Fords own intelligent oil minder would go. Perhaps it’s not in the engines best interest to go that long...I wouldn’t.
Hello there I have a friend that put some DEf on the diesel side, I know you are an expert on Diesel, it's a 2021 ford 2500 6.7 what can I do to help him
Great video again!!! I changed the oil on all three of mine at 3500 miles and fuel filters too , and top off the def every two weeks, use all Ford's parts , oil ; 10w30 , and exhaust fluid , keep the great videos coming
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod your welcome, I don't why someone would thumb down your videos , very helpful and you learn a thing a two , I did want to ask , I've seen my oil temps reach 230° on hot days pulling a trailer , is that normal ? Usually runs around the 201°- 216° , sometimes it concerns me
My question is will the factory 15 quart oil pan off a F650 fit my 2011 F350? I’d like the addition quantity and easier oil change from 13 quarts to 15 which is three jugs of Motorcraft.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod ... there are aftermarket pans for both the transmission and engine that hold additional oil. It actually helps with keeping the engine cooler when hauling big loads in hilly areas. It won’t hurt the engine at all.
Thanks for the vid…Two questions if you would Arod regarding a 2022 f350- Is it okay to top off DEF fluid whenever if one is say at 50% or 75% level, and does it need to be same type? And is there a superior DEF fluid to use or is the walmart stuff okay? (I know not to use expired or DEF fluid kept at higher temps)
I’m just starting out in commercial driving with a 2020 F350. I would like to idle in the winter far warmth. Will my dealer install a high idle switch and how will idling affective longevity of my engine? I get the 1 idle hour equals 30 drive miles. Thanks
No worries, they may but i have a video of installing the high idle resistor. Check it out. Also, get OCR turned on so you can stay on top of your DPF health. I too have a video for that. Watch our playlists 😁
I have a 2012 F-350 crew cab long bed 4x4 6.7 with a lighting issue I have no bright or high beam headlights the high beam indicator on the dash comes on but no lights on on the front of the truck also the front interior dome light doesn’t work when I open the doors the door ajar indicator comes on on the dash but the front dome light doesn’t come on at anytime or anyway the rear interior dome light works as it should also what do you consider the best oil for the 6.7 conventional, synthetic, or a blend
In my opinion if you're changing your oil every 5000 miles like I recommend, using full synthetic is a waste of money... the oil of the regular blend 10W30, only motorcraft, is the only oil I would recommend in your truck.
Ok on the lighting issue I forgot to mention that the truck has had a communication system installed on it in the past and I was told that it was installed on the obd port
One word on def... Don't laugh Used it as starter fert to plant corn 🌽 this year. Added 3 packets of miracle grow to the planter tank too. Ears and corn grew great.
You failed to mention which oil weight you prefer. Also should the oil be blended synthetic or keep with the conventional oil. Also you mentioned def. should I use ford def or buy it At Walmart. Also does def freeze up in ford trucks .Do they have a def heater. Thanks, be careful and stay safe 😀
I thought the CC variants have different heads, turbo, ad derated ECM from the pick-up variants. It may be a "good" engine but it's a travesty to put it in a truck expected to tow and haul with no real engine brake. For the money, I would PAY for a straight six with a legitimate engine brake in a new CC F600!
350 16 f350 nothing but motorcraft def. 60k on it now. On my 3rd dpf/src. Change oil every 5k and fuel filters every 10 k also all motorcraft. About 350 idle hours. Not sure if its me or truck. I love it but when its out of warranty i do not want to pay 5 to 7k for new exhauat fuck that
Second that! I did weight loss surgery on my ‘12 four years ago. Engine oil stays much cleaner, no emissions shit to fail, better fuel mileage, no exhaust regen when I’m about to pull in my driveway, and you can’t top the badass sound of the 6.7 PSD!
Got a 2016 250 6.7 with 170K (we put 100K of those Miles) but now I am dailying it for work. I keep hearing some folks say 5K miles is max before an oil change, others have said 8k is fine too. Does it depend on how you use it or is it a religious thing to change the oil no matter the milage ? Lots of different opinions out there. To be clear, I have only had it or 7 months and have done 2 oil changes. but its been in my family for 5 years.
Looking at purchasing a 2003 f250 6.0 with 300,000miles. Never bulletproofed or studded. Only problem ever was injector’s, vacuum pump and water pump house. Not sure if it’s wise to buy or not. Any comments are appreciated
Hey bud, I emailed you once regarding my low pressure fuel pump not too long ago and you replied pretty swiftly... awesome of you to interact with your viewers|followers #respect ... anyways I own a 11 f350 dually 6.7 and Since I bought it @186k miles I've added 10 k miles to it exactly ... (all heaving towing btw). And for some reason it hasn't asked for def... I've been waiting to fill until I get a message so I can get an idea of how long intervals I got here...but nothing... should I be worried here ?
And if you totally want to eliminate any maintenance issues, take that 600 lb. turd off the exhaust, get rid of the 300 lb. thing that puts dirty air back into your combustion chambers, and give it a “mild” ecm massage. 600 horse to the wheels and 1200 lbs of torque makes everything better.
Hey Arod thanks for the video I really liked the content . I live in Compton California andi have my smog test due next month. I have a check engine light on the truck for the ambient temperature sensor, but I cannot find it could do a video on where is the ambient temperature sensor located please. I drive a 2012 Ford F 350 with 85,000 miles thank you
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Thanks bruh I really appreciated it, honestly I have a lot of respect for the kind of work that you do, you have to be skilled and knowledgeable to do this type of work. thnx again
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yeah kinda what I'm thinking. seams like it loses prime overnight its only if it sits awhile especially overnight. Thought it was the fuel filters but made no difference.
I have replaced many many frame mounted fuel pumps. It is the same housing that the lower fuel filter is housed in. Piece of cake to do, bleeding is the messy part tho....
Recently my license plate lights have quit working. I’m out on the road working right now and can’t take my truck to a shop. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Start checkin the circuits back there. It shares the running light circuits. If they work then u knw its gotta be right in the bavk some wheres. I mean check the bulbs 1st...
Arod great video. Ive got a question I have a 2017 F-250 diesel with a little less than 15,000 miles. Iknow the miles are low I had a takehome police car up until a few months ago so dont drive a ton. I do drive on the highway most of the time. I have had all services done when needed but i have never had a Regen with the DPF. Do you think thats an issue the truck runs great.
You’ve definitely had many regenerations in that many miles but apparently haven’t noticed. On a ‘17 there’s no light or message or warning. If you’re very in tune with your truck, you’ll notice a slightly different engine tone during a regen, and you’ll see the turbo gauge become more active. You’ll also smell it at low speed or stopped. FORScan can activate your exhaust filter screen if you need visual confirmation of a regen or how full your DPF is.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod 😱 1050 ft/lbs! Closing the gap on the class 8 world rapidly. How much will be to much?? I own a 15 250 personally and work from a 17 450 daily and would drive a bowtie or goat to the scrapyard day 1! Loving my 6.7 powerstrokes!!
i used to get a ticking noise after my oil changes and it would go away after about 300 miles now with this bypass kit it has a second bypass filter that cleans the oil even more now the ticking noise dont go away ,so i think its keeping the oil clean

Great video as always. Love hearing about how to protect and prolong our six-sevens. Keep the tips coming!
I always fill my def to a little over 1/2 so I don't have a freeze -up during the cold weather here in up state NY.
They freeze at 11 degrees and will freeze no matter how much you fill them that’s why they have heaters
IM just curious what your train of thought in filling it half way? is it expansion? btw LOVE UPSTATE NY . ride in Old forge
It is a strategy within three sensors. There is no float in the tank....

Is there a way to keep track of the DEF heater? So if it dies I know right away?
A rod Ive never sent a text so this is a first for me,I have a F350 crewcab 6.7 diesel, change my oil every 5000 & fuel filter every other oil change.
Nice budddy
Never thought of the relevance of 250s to 750s. Definitely some info to keep in your back pocket.
But how much cooler would a Dark Red/Black look vs Dark Green/Black? No need for an epirb balancing weight as applied to a paramotor.
😭😭😭😭😭 rambo in da house
Another great 6.7 video thank you!!
Thanks again Arod! 17’ lariat f250 Powerstroke. 🤙🏻
My man
Just delete the EPA crap!
Macy Landscaping no one wants to be playing that game with the National Compliance Initiatives the EPA is implementing currently. Deleted trucks beware!
Thamac15 no worries here!!
2019 F-450 Limited. Every 5K mo matter what. Rotella T6 5w40, Motorcraft everything. Even run the Motorcraft fuel additive!
Blackstone test said I could do 7K... haven’t adjusted the schedule yet though. Amazingly low fuel dilution at 5K.
Great to hear!!!!
Running the same setup, Rotella T6 5w40 and all Motorcraft filters. Blackstone still has good reports for it. Cant see myself going any higher though. Im deleted so that may make a difference in the oil life.
👍👍 yepp

also, what are some major things to look out for with the 2016 6.7 diesel?
Another awesome video 💪 I hear the new 2020 6.7 psd is boosting some impressive towing and engine power numbers.
Most def, Ford has got this Superduty game on Lock!
When it shows the hours and mileage, those are two individual measurements correct? You have 25,000 driving + (X number of idling hours x 30)? Correct? What does idling include, time in park and engine running, time stopped and below a certain RPM even though in Drive? You see where I’m going with this.....
Your are correct all the way thru
+ARCHOIL Baby!!
Great video. We just traded our 2016 F350 dually in on a Ford 2019. It had 455,000, yes 455,000 miles on it. Rotella T and Ford filter every 10- 12K, Ford fuel filters every 20K. Started using Ford Cetane but those stupid paper discs under the cap kept falling into tank causing low pressure fuel pump to burn out. Switched to Howe’s. High pressure pump and injectors needed to be replaced so was time to upgrade. Any thoughts on Amsoil?
Never messed with it
I run a fleet of training motorcycles, don’t know about diesels but their motorcycle oil is garbage, wet clutches got grabby real quick
Thank you for taking the time to make this education video's and give the best advice on power stroke I learned so much from you
Thanks so much Christopher! Hope to keep growing everyone's knowledge about the best trucks on earth!
By the looks of it the DPF in the 750, it is modular, that needs to happen to the 2,3,450s. At 4k$ to buy the DPF , having a modular system for clean ability is the way to go. Great video, you always have great videos, very important subject, thank you!
Thank you. You can seperate the 250-550s to clean. Cost about $800 to cut, clean and re weld
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Really? Not that I need it now but something to look into, still would be better to have bolt connections.
A-Rod,
Good mornin' my man.
I've never seen anyone do a literal side-by-side comparison between the pickups and the big boys. Same, but different. I also noticed that the layout on top of the engine differs a little also. Very interesting.
Maintenance on my 223000KM F-250:
Motorcraft 10W30 CONVENTIONAL oil year-round
Motorcraft oil filter
Every 5000KMs
Motorcraft upper and lower fuel filters
Motorcraft air filter
Every 10000KMs
Motorcraft DEF FILLED when dash says less than 100KMs to Empty
Motorcraft Cetane Booster 125ml every tank
Runs like new.
Have a good weekend Mr. Sir,

The U-joint at the trans of the work truck needs replacing. The U-joint bearing cap is spinning in the trunion of the yoke. Replace U-joint and use a new strap kit.
Stupid question about batteries. I just swapped out the factory batteries in my 2019 F250 6.7 with some AGM batteries. I swapped 1 at a time to keep power to the truck. Because I did it this way, does the truck need to relearn anything or is there anything I need to change settings on? First Powerstroke and loving it!
Also, what is the best way to monitor voltage on the system? Or does the computer do a good enough job to let you know when something is array? Thank you!
Yes ur fine, no nothing needs to be done. Yes computer monitors everything
I have a 2012 f550 with the 6.7 and I have what sounds like an air intrusion I’ve changed the fuel pump module from ford and the pickup inside the tank diid you ever hear of the fuel line o rings going bad where the quick connector is on the tank and the fuel pump on the rail and I see no signs of fuel leaks at all thought my problem would be the 1 line coming from the tank to the fuel pump on the rail sucking air any input on that thanks
U can email me...🤷♂️
What I know about my powerstroke. I put the key in and start it.
Oh wait, I have a 7.3.
Oh wait they all have keys too!
Unless it's 15 degrees outside then they start like a bucket of rusted bolts in a cement mixer
Motorcraft everything except s&b cold air intake and rotella oil.
I'm right there with ya. Just did an oil change with Rotella T6 5w-40 (FL2051S filter of course), Motorcraft FD-4625 fuel filters and monitor my S&B CAI. My 2017 runs like a dream.
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently debating the 2020 F250 with the 6.7L Powerstroke or 7.3L gas. I appreciate this video being that I have never owned a diesel before and have no idea what I would be getting into.
Thanks Daniel, you will not be disappointed with what ever choice you make!!!!!
5,000 synthetic lof 10,000 fuel filters. Do you recommend Rotella T6? 2017 only 16,000 miles. I have a company vehicle. Explains the low miles. But I tow most of the miles this truck has.I did a break in oil change at 1,000 2,500 5,000 switched to motorcraft synthetic at 10,000. Am I nuts😉. Edit, spray her down twice a year with Fluid Film.
"Attention to detail at its best",,,,,, turning the Fuel and DEF cap straight. 👍
Got too, bugs the $hit outta me. Thanks 4 watchin!!!
Is the computer pretty accurate when telling the owner to get an oil change done. Or should you just base oils change intervals off a certain number of miles or hours
5k or 200 hrs PERIOD!
Mine told me to change my oil at 1800 kilometers, I didn't listen to it.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I work for a city fleet department and yes we do our P.Ms on every vehicle gas or diesel 250hrs or 4K miles
Interesting how RAM publishes a 15,000 mile oil change interval for the 6.7L Cummins engine. That’s much longer than Arod’s recommendation for the Ford 6.7 or even Fords own intelligent oil minder would go. Perhaps it’s not in the engines best interest to go that long...I wouldn’t.
NO lube goes that long, PERIOD!
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod except ships and planes.
Interesting comparison and perspective video! Thanks!
Do you need to prime a hpfp like you need to do to the def pump also do you know the torque spec for injector lines on rails and injector
No prime. Tight
what????? 10W-30 and 5W-40 oil must mix and pour in or option??
Hello there I have a friend that put some DEf on the diesel side, I know you are an expert on Diesel, it's a 2021 ford 2500 6.7 what can I do to help him
Ooooof hope he didnt turn the key on.....
Great vid as always bud. Maintenance is key.
👍👍
Great video again!!! I changed the oil on all three of mine at 3500 miles and fuel filters too , and top off the def every two weeks, use all Ford's parts , oil ; 10w30 , and exhaust fluid , keep the great videos coming
Thanks for the positive feed back, even the thumbs downers 👍👍
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod your welcome, I don't why someone would thumb down your videos , very helpful and you learn a thing a two , I did want to ask , I've seen my oil temps reach 230° on hot days pulling a trailer , is that normal ? Usually runs around the 201°- 216° , sometimes it concerns me
I have that same problem but also a loud knocking noise comming from bottom passenger side I’m only at 127k miles any suggestions
To go over your truck youll have 2 email me, but my time comes at a cost
Ok please send me email address and cost
Email is in the about tab of the channel
My 13 F250 is that same green! I haven't seen one anywhere around me the same green! Must not have been very common.

My question is will the factory 15 quart oil pan off a F650 fit my 2011 F350? I’d like the addition quantity and easier oil change from 13 quarts to 15 which is three jugs of Motorcraft.
The extra capacity is for the air brakes. The air pump use engine oil as lube. Dont b over fillin ur shizz
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod ... there are aftermarket pans for both the transmission and engine that hold additional oil. It actually helps with keeping the engine cooler when hauling big loads in hilly areas. It won’t hurt the engine at all.
DEF brand recommendation? And what are your thoughts on diesel fuel additives.
2016 350
All def the sames, YES YES on the additive. Motorcraft!!!
Thanks for the vid…Two questions if you would Arod regarding a 2022 f350-
Is it okay to top off DEF fluid whenever if one is say at 50% or 75% level, and does it need to be same type?
And is there a superior DEF fluid to use or is the walmart stuff okay? (I know not to use expired or DEF fluid kept at higher temps)
Fill def when u get a message. Stick with MC fluid👌
I’m just starting out in commercial driving with a 2020 F350. I would like to idle in the winter far warmth. Will my dealer install a high idle switch and how will idling affective longevity of my engine? I get the 1 idle hour equals 30 drive miles. Thanks
No worries, they may but i have a video of installing the high idle resistor. Check it out. Also, get OCR turned on so you can stay on top of your DPF health. I too have a video for that. Watch our playlists 😁
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod thanks I’ll watch the OCD video, but how does idling for hours affect the longevity of the 6.7?
Stop thru our LIVE streams we go over that stuff
I have a 2012 F-350 crew cab long bed 4x4 6.7 with a lighting issue I have no bright or high beam headlights the high beam indicator on the dash comes on but no lights on on the front of the truck also the front interior dome light doesn’t work when I open the doors the door ajar indicator comes on on the dash but the front dome light doesn’t come on at anytime or anyway the rear interior dome light works as it should also what do you consider the best oil for the 6.7 conventional, synthetic, or a blend
Sounds like u got a BCM issue. Regular 10w30 bub
Why conventional instead of a synthetic or a blend of the 2 ?
In my opinion if you're changing your oil every 5000 miles like I recommend, using full synthetic is a waste of money... the oil of the regular blend 10W30, only motorcraft, is the only oil I would recommend in your truck.
Have you done a video of how to take the dashboard apart on a 2012 f-350
Ok on the lighting issue I forgot to mention that the truck has had a communication system installed on it in the past and I was told that it was installed on the obd port
One word on def...
Don't laugh
Used it as starter fert to plant corn 🌽 this year. Added 3 packets of miracle grow to the planter tank too.
Ears and corn grew great.
Lmaoo
You failed to mention which oil weight you prefer. Also should the oil be blended synthetic or keep with the conventional oil. Also you mentioned def. should I use ford def or buy it At Walmart. Also does def freeze up in ford trucks .Do they have a def heater.
Thanks, be careful and stay safe 😀

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Hello -
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Hello a
Hey pal
I thought the CC variants have different heads, turbo, ad derated ECM from the pick-up variants. It may be a "good" engine but it's a travesty to put it in a truck expected to tow and haul with no real engine brake. For the money, I would PAY for a straight six with a legitimate engine brake in a new CC F600!
350 16 f350 nothing but motorcraft def. 60k on it now. On my 3rd dpf/src. Change oil every 5k and fuel filters every 10 k also all motorcraft. About 350 idle hours. Not sure if its me or truck. I love it but when its out of warranty i do not want to pay 5 to 7k for new exhauat fuck that
Nick Wood delete that shit
Second that! I did weight loss surgery on my ‘12 four years ago. Engine oil stays much cleaner, no emissions shit to fail, better fuel mileage, no exhaust regen when I’m about to pull in my driveway, and you can’t top the badass sound of the 6.7 PSD!
Another excellent vid!!!!
Thank buddy
Got a 2016 250 6.7 with 170K (we put 100K of those Miles) but now I am dailying it for work. I keep hearing some folks say 5K miles is max before an oil change, others have said 8k is fine too. Does it depend on how you use it or is it a religious thing to change the oil no matter the milage ? Lots of different opinions out there. To be clear, I have only had it or 7 months and have done 2 oil changes. but its been in my family for 5 years.
What is wrong with using 15x40 oil?
Great tips thanks
First 2022 6.7 power stroke! How much does the DEF tank actually hold. The containers I purchased are only 2.5 gal.
Bout 5 gallons
Looking at purchasing a 2003 f250 6.0 with 300,000miles. Never bulletproofed or studded. Only problem ever was injector’s, vacuum pump and water pump house. Not sure if it’s wise to buy or not. Any comments are appreciated

Hey bud, I emailed you once regarding my low pressure fuel pump not too long ago and you replied pretty swiftly... awesome of you to interact with your viewers|followers #respect ... anyways I own a 11 f350 dually 6.7 and Since I bought it @186k miles I've added 10 k miles to it exactly ...

And if you totally want to eliminate any maintenance issues, take that 600 lb. turd off the exhaust, get rid of the 300 lb. thing that puts dirty air back into your combustion chambers, and give it a “mild” ecm massage. 600 horse to the wheels and 1200 lbs of torque makes everything better.

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yeah kinda what I'm thinking. seams like it loses prime overnight its only if it sits awhile especially overnight. Thought it was the fuel filters but made no difference.

Arod great video. Ive got a question I have a 2017 F-250 diesel with a little less than 15,000 miles. Iknow the miles are low I had a takehome police car up until a few months ago so dont drive a ton. I do drive on the highway most of the time. I have had all services done when needed but i have never had a Regen with the DPF. Do you think thats an issue the truck runs great.
It most likely has you just didn't even notice. If you add DEF she a regen'n. If it didn't you for sure get some sort of DTC set eventually.
Last oil change they filled the DEF.
Thanks
You’ve definitely had many regenerations in that many miles but apparently haven’t noticed. On a ‘17 there’s no light or message or warning. If you’re very in tune with your truck, you’ll notice a slightly different engine tone during a regen, and you’ll see the turbo gauge become more active. You’ll also smell it at low speed or stopped.
FORScan can activate your exhaust filter screen if you need visual confirmation of a regen or how full your DPF is.
I read 15w-40 is also recommended is this correct for Arizona desert climate????
