Watching you figure these things out it's amazing. I don't even own a powerstroke anymore. You are a champion mechanic and very honest. Wish there were more people fixing vehicles like you guys. Keep it up. As a poor farmer we had to switch to gas jobbers. 6.2 V8 gets the job done but I miss our 6.0 powerstroke.
Wow! This kind of honesty is not common. I will be bringing you my 16 when it needs repair. Luckily I live a little over an hour from you 😃. Great job guys.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) does work, however one important note: Most industrial SCR operators use either Aqueous or Anhydrous Ammonia. The motor vehicle process uses Urea (since it's safer to store than ammonia) and converts the urea to ammonia using thermal decomposition.
@@powerstrokehelp Big fan of your work Sir. Your videos and diesel tech ron's "RIP", have allowed me to keep my 6.0 running great. Perhaps some day you guys can restore my motor, open check book and all.

If I had a need for a diesel- Powerstroke, 1st thing I would do is drive it to you guys. I had 6.0 powerstroke work truck and live in VA, so my company wouldn't take it to you guys to get the work done..Ultimately, they had more money than common sense, and no exaggerating at all.

1:30 High tech version of a very old, but extremely useful test. If you have a quality cellphone, some good software FFT programs will let you plot the sound on a waterfall diagram and get the same results as the Ford scantool.
My early 11 dropped a valve into the cylinder at 130k miles. Ford extended warranty covered a new long block. The bill was close to $18k. The service tech said he has seen a few 11's do this.
Bill. Are you guys still seeing the known fuel system failures in the 15+ trucks with the updated cp4 like you did on the 11-24 trucks?? And is that disaster prevention kit for the cp4 worth it??
I'm glad I have an 05 LLY Duramax, 250K miles on it and still have the stock injectors, only replaced the CP3 pump twice on the engine and the water pump once or twice...
I just deleted my dpf and blocked off the egr. My exhaust sounds like it has a tick.... Out of the tail pipe. Can't really tell if I hear a tick from under the hood. Any thoughts?
I have an 11 f350 with 219,000 miles. It's a great truck with nickel and dime issues here and there. I recently noticed oil setting on top of the engine block. What could be causing an issue like this?
I love watching these videos so informational. Fortunately have never worked on any of the newer drugs have turned many of the old ones apart. Drugs. Yeah. Well, these trucks are just a bunch of drugs. LOL The landlord says are you on drugs? Yeah, I'm addicted to diesel smoke and gasoline.
Bill, I heard you say that you didn't do the EGR delete and exhaust delete on that truck. Is it safe to say that removing those items, and running a tune, potentially increased the probability that the damaged valve happened. Reason that I asked is, I have a 2011 F350, relatively low mileage at 46000 miles that I use to pull my 5th wheel camper. I'm completely stock. How concerned should I be about this happening to me? Thank you for your time and very informational videos.
The 11’s it wasn’t a glow plug problem it was a two part valve seat design that they changed due to the parts separating and running through the engine and destroying the top of the glow plug and everything else . It’s a misconception that the glow plugs ever where the cause of a problem in the 2011 6.7 just a thing to think about any 2011 owners thinking that changing glow plugs is bulletproofing there engine in some way.
You're exactly right. Always found it funny people think it's a glow plug problem. Always been a valve problem...glow plug is just collateral damage in the catastrophic let go.
So Bill, if you were to buy a powerstroke ford today, what would you buy? I have been looking at a few 11 and 12 models but after this video I thi k I should be shopping for something newer that a 12. Your thoughts.
Don Romine I was wondering the same thing. My guess is they will rebuild both heads with the newer valves. Would only make sense at this point to do so.
What if I buy a 13 or 14 f250 it's been deleted and I want to put the egr scr and the def solution and re tune the truck to back to factory will y'all do it I hate to buy a tuned newer style diesel I know if its been tuned and it only a year old the waranty is void
That's a high output engine. For sure if you have a miss or a knock on a 6.7 definatly dont continue operating them for any length of time. I do this type of work and you definatly need a ford ids when working on these vehicles.
valve seals? While the engine sits, a bit of oil seeps past the valve seals into the combustion chamber. Once the engine warms, the seals swell and don't leak. It's a common thing on Chevy small blocks. This is just a guess...
We have a 2001 ford power stroke. It just stalled out we have no idea where to start. Mostly the people tell us it is the fuel pump. But 6.0 liter we are not sure what to buy or what to replace to get started. My sister was rumping on the gas peddle when it died. It turn but doesn’t start
I am a tech at a ford dealer in Maryland and we have been getting oil pans once a week for about 6 moths with miles from as low as 8800 all the way up to 250,000 the 2020 trucks have a gasket now but they changed the block to if you have a 11-19 your screwed
The engines have been doing fine in the 13+ trucks. However the 17-20 model year trucks switched to RTV on the upper oil pan instead of a gasket and we've had to fix a ton of leaks on those. And they have the usual turbo failures but the base engine has been pretty good so far.
The Superduty 6.0 is one of the best values in heavy pickups right now. Because of emissions problems, some people are leery of them. That keeps the resale low. Find a nice one, stock, without a tuner and performance exhaust. Into the purchase price calculate in the cost to "Bulletproof" the motor. I live in the southwest. We have Bulletproof Diesel in Mesa Arizona. I picked up my F350 Fx4 longbed crew cab and immediately dropped it off at Bulletproof Diesel in Mesa. A week later I picked up a beautiful diesel truck that's dependable comfy and economical to run. It's been across the country several times. In the east, I'd take my truck to Bill, the west, to Bulletproof Diesel in Mesa. The 6.0 is a really good engine that didn't get proper testing. Specialty diesel shops ended up doing the testing and now have a specific formula that should have been they way Ford sold them originally.

If people just read the instructions and used the truck properly. Drive the truck when it needs a regen, or if you notice it's doing a regen when you're driving dont shut it off. I have a 2019 and you cant miss when its doing a regen. Smells like you are cooking a skunk. Drive it for a bit then park it. NEVER shut off a hot truck, frest off the highway(min 3 min cool down). I have been driving these emission trucks since 2010, I have had no issues. Mack, volvo, international, freightliner, ford. All behave the same, this pickup dpf on my pickup fills faster. May have to do with it's small volume compared to a class 8 dpf. The first dpf vehicle I drove was a 2010 freightliner business class m2 112 with a Mercedes MBE4000 450hp. After a week of driving it I figured why it was having almost daily parked regen cycles. I changed how I drove it and I could sometimes stretch the parked regen out 3-4 weeks. When someone else drove my truck it wouldnt make the whole day with out a regen. My current work truck 2014 Volvo VNL730 with 500hp D13 has only needed ONE parked regen in 2 years, just over 200,000km. But that truck is pulling B-train fuel tankers(46k empty,140k loaded) so the exhaust stays hot.
the IDS system sounds like it functions to misfire detection in a gas engine, because those also detect the rotational speed of the crank, And it seems to me its a rainy day in Georgia. LOL
Ha in the old days I heard it said that you bought a CHevy or GMC to look good at church. You bought a Ford truck to go to work. And you bought a Dodge when you couldn't get financed on the other two.
I saw a car lot advertising 6.0 trucks for sale between $11k and $13k with relatively low miles and claiming they have been "bulletproofed". I asked how he could sell his trucks for that price as I have heard that "bulletproofing" costs in excess of $8000 by itself if done correctly. This guy proceeds to tell me that "most" mechanics consider bulletproofing consists of only having the egr deleted and headstuds replaced!?? Does this even sound right to you guys? I know the guys there at Powerstroke Help.com do way more than that from the videos I've seen. How much does it help the 6.0 trucks just doing those 2 steps as listed above. Thanks for any enlightenment on the subject.
a real bullet proof does cost 8k and many times costs more then that. A real bullet proof is egr delete, oil cooler that is completely different from oem that costs 2k for cheaper ones, head studs, and many other things like tunes and exhaust system.
They’re wrong about the bad glow plug issue with these engines. It’s always the exhaust valve breaking then in turn ruining the glow plugs and thus throwing the glow plug code in the computer
Sounds like a class action lawsuit should be a route. You guys can be our experts on theses condition. Let’s get ford to pay you Bill. Not the poor bastard who’s done nothing but follow manufactures specs. What do you think
In my experience, the only ones that "delete" their trucks are the ones that don't actually need a diesel pickup in the first place. They're the ones that could get by just fine with a gas powered Colorado or something similar, but they feel the need to make up for other inadequacies by blowing a bunch of smoke, or as they call it "rolling coal". I guess they think it makes them look manly or something. Personally, I don't own a diesel pickup. My gas powered GMC dually does everything I need it to. On the other hand, I do own 5 Cummins powered Freghtliners. I'm no tree hugger by any means, but I do know what real pulling power is!
The cheap way is change the valve and reserfice the block and heads and reseal whatever leaking. Nothing 8k worth. Diesels are alot more durable then any gas engine. But in general alot of people don't care for the trucks properly.
th-cam.com/video/LqZwwfSg0kw/w-d-xo.html This sound, what could it be? I checked my codes and it was showing one for, “contribution/balance”, in cylinder number 2. I had changed that injector out and even took it to the Ford dealer to have it programmed with the right flow-rate. Still showing up and now it has a very noticeable, “wub-wub”, going on. Worse than the video. Do you think it could be a valve??
Well yeah, the EPA is out for heads now. Nobody wants to get in trouble for it. With all the lawsuits, a lot of people don't even want them in their shop for fear of getting wrapped up in the mess.
2009 f250 6.4 still going strong at 300,000 mile mark .. However it does leak oil .. has a clogged oil cooler. And is currently leaking coolant don’t know from where 😂🤦🏽♂️. . Oh and I forgot it has 2 broken exhaust manifold studs that make the truck sound horrible. But I still run it .. will probably buy another 6.4 motor if this motor blows. And delete everything
This part of Georgia gets more rain than anywhere else in the continental US. True Rainforest. When it rains here it rains hard but it clears right up and its sunny again. Being 1200 feet above sea level most all Gulf of Mexico storms stop end here in the cool Appalachian air and dump all the moisture.
Any real tech would have listened for slight or uneven change cranking rpm and then run a relative compression test. Good fast diagnosis is few and far between now! Good job guys. Basics are always basics
The owner brought the truck in before major damage happond, Most others drive trucks till they wont run anymore, Than wonder why so much damage & expense.
$10,000 for the premium and 160,000 miles later another $10,000 for repairs. $20,000 investment with a $2000 return. My 6.2 gas and me are very happy together.
Why do they have these ridiculous emission systems when all you simply have to do is install a HHO on demand kit Which puts a small amount of hydrogen and oxygen into the intake and by doing so reduces the harmful emissions substantially.
To get on you tube and bash the dealer is BS... the truth is the guy didn’t want to pay dealership prices to have his engine repaired or replaced. We(dealership techs) have known about several TSB’s that came out in 2012 and a updated tsb in 2014. To get on here to “ yeah the dealership just threw parts at it and couldn’t fix it” is horse shit! All dealership diesel tech have every resource possible and have had them way before the independent shops got them. When they are under warranty we fix them. Out of warranty we loose out from the cost of the repair. Plain and simple! That truck has 160k on it. It probably hasn’t seen a dealership since it was out of warranty. To get on here to make yourself look good by bashing a dealership.... that’s plain ole pathetic.
@@HandyMike78 The Ford Powerstroke is an inferior engine to the Ram Cummins. It's foolish to argue any different. Ford makes some great trucks but their Powerstroke is a complicated piece of junk. The Ram Cummins is a far more durable engine and much less complicated.
Pretty sad when the "big badass" diesels are so badass and aren't lasting any longer than a gas engine. The new 7.3 gas V8 will be a huge hit since diesels suck nowadays.
Being boosted to hell to get the high output ratings in the pick-ups vs. the detuned versions sold in the commercial class-4 and 5 chassis-cabs and larger class-6 and 7 models doesn't help much..... In fact, I'm going to bet the pick-ups will likely run into problems due to the high boost pressures sooner than the commercial vehicles which are detuned for lower stress on the engine.
Would very much like to watch your videos but lately you blather on about stupid crap, as a deisel owner I want my mechanic to diagnose say this is what's wrong , here's the fix, and here's the cost don't care about who makes the phone call and all that blah blah blah.

I saw a car lot advertising 6.0 trucks for sale between $11k and $13k with relatively low miles and claiming they have been "bulletproofed". I asked how he could sell his trucks for that price as I have heard that "bulletproofing" costs in excess of $8000 by itself if done correctly. This guy proceeds to tell me that "most" mechanics consider bulletproofing consists of only having the egr deleted and headstuds replaced!?? Does this even sound right to you guys? I know the guys there at Powerstroke Help.com do way more than that from the videos I've seen. How much does it help the 6.0 trucks just doing those 2 steps as listed above. Thanks for any enlightenment on the subject.
a real bullet proof does cost 8k and many times costs more then that. A real bullet proof is egr delete, oil cooler that is completely different from oem that costs 2k for cheaper ones, head studs, and many other things like tunes and exhaust system.
Bills tongue is the brains behind this operation
They’re wrong about the bad glow plug issue with these engines. It’s always the exhaust valve breaking then in turn ruining the glow plugs and thus throwing the glow plug code in the computer
Sounds like a class action lawsuit should be a route. You guys can be our experts on theses condition. Let’s get ford to pay you Bill. Not the poor bastard who’s done nothing but follow manufactures specs. What do you think
In my experience, the only ones that "delete" their trucks are the ones that don't actually need a diesel pickup in the first place. They're the ones that could get by just fine with a gas powered Colorado or something similar, but they feel the need to make up for other inadequacies by blowing a bunch of smoke, or as they call it "rolling coal". I guess they think it makes them look manly or something. Personally, I don't own a diesel pickup. My gas powered GMC dually does everything I need it to. On the other hand, I do own 5 Cummins powered Freghtliners. I'm no tree hugger by any means, but I do know what real pulling power is!
Should I sell my 2011 190k no leaks no knocks just loud humming
Charles Nostrand I still have my stock 6.0 original head gaskets 300k still going!
Everyday you leave the house with a powerstroke you're getting lucky
Thanks for vid on the 6.7.
Note to self 5.9 Cummins when my ol Claire 97' obs 350k mi takes her dirt nap...
Yeah
10k upcharge for a new 6.7 and ford can’t even throw some paint on the block
hownaml and these sorry 6.7 engines are made in Mexico for dirt cheap and then they want to charge tens of thousands for a long block replacement
I have a 2016 f250 6.7 with only 38,000 and it’s In the shop for a upper oil pan leak. Love the truck just glad it’s under warranty.
99 GMC k3500 6.5 turbo diesel stock no leaks 750,000kms
6.0 @ 300k original gaskets... 6.7 is built in Mexico with the finest burrito face stuffing Quailty!
You ever notice with your friends family neighbours, you only tease or bug the ones you really like. Bill must really like Mike.
The cheap way is change the valve and reserfice the block and heads and reseal whatever leaking. Nothing 8k worth. Diesels are alot more durable then any gas engine. But in general alot of people don't care for the trucks properly.
th-cam.com/video/LqZwwfSg0kw/w-d-xo.html This sound, what could it be? I checked my codes and it was showing one for, “contribution/balance”, in cylinder number 2. I had changed that injector out and even took it to the Ford dealer to have it programmed with the right flow-rate. Still showing up and now it has a very noticeable, “wub-wub”, going on. Worse than the video. Do you think it could be a valve??
From my understanding it's getting harder to find dealers that will touch a deleted truck
Well yeah, the EPA is out for heads now. Nobody wants to get in trouble for it. With all the lawsuits, a lot of people don't even want them in their shop for fear of getting wrapped up in the mess.
2009 f250 6.4 still going strong at 300,000 mile mark ..
However it does leak oil .. has a clogged oil cooler. And is currently leaking coolant don’t know from where 😂🤦🏽♂️. . Oh and I forgot it has 2 broken exhaust manifold studs that make the truck sound horrible.
But I still run it .. will probably buy another 6.4 motor if this motor blows. And delete everything
Also if your watching my videos.........
You can definitely still buy egr and dpf deletes. No emissions systems are good for any diesels... anyone that says they are doesnt know much
Sounds like rain? Bad storm?
This part of Georgia gets more rain than anywhere else in the continental US. True Rainforest. When it rains here it rains hard but it clears right up and its sunny again. Being 1200 feet above sea level most all Gulf of Mexico storms stop end here in the cool Appalachian air and dump all the moisture.
Dayum........I sure hope my 2014 7.3 outlasts me......
2014 7.3?
@@jeffreygoss8109 pfft hahaha
Any real tech would have listened for slight or uneven change cranking rpm and then run a relative compression test. Good fast diagnosis is few and far between now! Good job guys. Basics are always basics
Mikey is the shiznit
The owner brought the truck in before major damage happond, Most others drive trucks till they wont run anymore, Than wonder why so much damage & expense.
160k on a diesel and it's already failing!!! That's not operator error
I fail to see how 8000 dollars is a winning situation, in any way, Dodge with a cummins is the way to go
Does Ford themselves make anything right? It seems like everyone loves a Ford after a qualified outside mechanic gets ahold of it and makes right.
$10,000 for the premium and 160,000 miles later another $10,000 for repairs. $20,000 investment with a $2000 return. My 6.2 gas and me are very happy together.
Why do they have these ridiculous emission systems when all you simply have to do is install a HHO on demand kit Which puts a small amount of hydrogen and oxygen into the intake and by doing so reduces the harmful emissions substantially.
To get on you tube and bash the dealer is BS... the truth is the guy didn’t want to pay dealership prices to have his engine repaired or replaced. We(dealership techs) have known about several TSB’s that came out in 2012 and a updated tsb in 2014. To get on here to “ yeah the dealership just threw parts at it and couldn’t fix it” is horse shit! All dealership diesel tech have every resource possible and have had them way before the independent shops got them. When they are under warranty we fix them. Out of warranty we loose out from the cost of the repair. Plain and simple! That truck has 160k on it. It probably hasn’t seen a dealership since it was out of warranty. To get on here to make yourself look good by bashing a dealership.... that’s plain ole pathetic.
A Cummins just sounds like a better and cheaper way to go
Jacob Skelton cheaper engine wise but will soon cost thousands more by the time your on the third transmission
Yea way better way to go, just keep throwing transmissions behind it, there not bad only like 5g a pop... WAY BETTER WAY TO GO FOR SURE...
Jacob Skelton because it is.
throw an allison behind it and just take the higher quality product for more money
Yeah and not made in Mexico like the sorry ford 6.7....
Why do people buy the 6.7 Powerstrokes? It's a mystery to me when you can buy the 6.7 Cummins which is a far superior engine.
Because it's not in a Chrysler product!
@@HandyMike78 The Ford Powerstroke is an inferior engine to the Ram Cummins. It's foolish to argue any different. Ford makes some great trucks but their Powerstroke is a complicated piece of junk. The Ram Cummins is a far more durable engine and much less complicated.
@@Workingcockers I'm not saying the Cummins isnt better. I'm saying the rest of the ram is a pos.
Because 19 times out of 20 you get it bolted to a 68RFE instead of a good transmission.
@@andykrew336 and that's the only reason. I have the Aisin transmission. When you put the Cummins and Aisin together you have a bullet proof truck.
Sounds like it’s raining
DELETE DELETE DELETE
Pretty sad when the "big badass" diesels are so badass and aren't lasting any longer than a gas engine. The new 7.3 gas V8 will be a huge hit since diesels suck nowadays.
Being boosted to hell to get the high output ratings in the pick-ups vs. the detuned versions sold in the commercial class-4 and 5 chassis-cabs and larger class-6 and 7 models doesn't help much.....
In fact, I'm going to bet the pick-ups will likely run into problems due to the high boost pressures sooner than the commercial vehicles which are detuned for lower stress on the engine.
93Cobra yeah and people are tired of sorry Mexican made engines as well
Junky truck
What do you mean by that?
Sorry Mexican made 6.7 engine couldn’t agree more,
Would very much like to watch your videos but lately you blather on about stupid crap, as a deisel owner I want my mechanic to diagnose say this is what's wrong , here's the fix, and here's the cost don't care about who makes the phone call and all that blah blah blah.
