Any advice on how to help prevent an injector bolt from breaking while removing? I'm in the process of replacing all the injectors on my 2011 6.7 powerstroke. Cp4 failure.... 😞
These 6.7 powerstrokes are great engines. The early 11's-12' had some turbo and glow plug issues but the newer models are bulletproof and can handle a lot of abuse
Are those injectors leak oil cuz I have a 2017 f350 and I see like a little oil leak on the passenger side injectors it seems it comes from the injectors but those days was very cold I don’t know maybe its a gasket but I don’t know whats your opinion help me I don’t wanna take it to the dealer cuz I deleted the truck and only has 70k miles. What u think should I put back the original exhaust?????
Brack down on expressway towed to Ford today in IA. Got codes, P04DA, P0299, P0263, P0269, and P0673. I’m guessing couple of those are fuel injects and one is glow plug. 2011 F350 6.7 powerstroke. How much are fuel injectors each.
Was going on a camping trip Yesterday with my 35ft 5th wheel . Reduce engine light came on , white smoke out the exhaust. Shop also said I had a sticking #2 injector. They are recommending changing all the injectors. Is this common ? Thanks for your opinion.
Thanks for the vid, great job. Do you have any tips for retrieving the copper washer if it don't come out with the injector? I've tried a pick and a wire but can't get it to move. Cylinder 3 2011 F450.
How do you keep these fuel systems clean when you are working on these trucks? I have brake cleaned everything and used a shop vac to suck any loose dirt up around the whole area and I can still find tiny particles in the injector ports and stuff just from picking them up and pushing them in the holes. The rails I’m sure are getting tiny little particles in the ports, I can see like small carbon flakes down in the injector hole that you can’t even get to etc..do you even worry about small stuff getting in the system? I just imagine these fuel systems would be trashed if you got even a spec of dirt in the rails or injectors.
I have an 11' 6.7. Ran fine. Never had any issues with truck since I purchased at 90k. It now has 139k. Randomly yesterday it threw the p0266 at idle. Also making a fairly loud ticking from that side of engine. Could this be injector or am I possibly looking at a valve train issue?
Is this injector second going away from the radiator? Or the second going away from the firewall? My injector number two is going out, but I can’t tell from this video which injector it is.
Well it appears I broke one of those little plastic return lines. I was driving the truck and suddenly lost power and could hear an injector knock. I pulled over and the line had popped off the injector and was dumping diesel. Would that low pressure line cause the truck to barely move and make the injectors knock like that?
Yesss. It didnt just break by itself. Either the injector hold down busted & the injector popped out causing the line to break.....OR u just found out you have some sort of contamination in the HP fuel system that blocked the line, caused excessive return pressure & boooooom blew off. Hopefully its not contaminated cuz u just costed urself $11k LARGE!!!!!
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Luckily I had broken one of the little ears off of it when reinstalling and i thought i had it on there tight but it didnt hold i guess. got the new line on today and shes running good!
I have a 2011 6.7 with 25k miles. It randomly throws a P02f3 code. First time it did it, I cleared it 3 times and stayed away for 500 miles. Second time, I got home, shut it down, 2 days later, no code and runs fine. What are your thoughts on this? I can't fine a trusty mechanic, I was thinking of checking for some type of wire connection issue. Don't want to just replace an injector.
Thanks for the reply. Im getting a max offset p02d5. Checked power balance and reset adaptive learning tables in TsB 16-0049. 1000 miles later its back, i havent seen any metal in the primary filter but shop wants to pull FVCV to check for metal before replacing injector. Should i just have them swap the injector without checking. As far as im aware we’ve found no evidence of contamination, metal or otherwise to suggest anything but a bad injector.
The cramp for the return line on the injector cylinder number 2 is broken on mine can I replace just the clamp or do I need to replace the whole return line? If so would you happen to have the part number for the clamp
so why is it manufactures seem to design engines you have to almost disassemble them just to do something simple? it's like remove 5 layers of hoses wires etc just to get to a bolt.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I already replaced the fuel real and the fuel sensor and filters and I checked the each connector to the injectors and not have power at all do you think can be the computer engine?
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod okay. I haven’t dropped anything in and I cleaned the engine/around everything I am working on with brake cleaner and blew everything off with a blow gun. Thanks for the help!
Will it crank over if I just install it? I want to drive it straight to the dealer right after as they want to charge me $112 just to program the injector. Can’t imagine what they’d charge for the install.
Is this a certain way to place the injectors when installing them??? or should i just mimic the previous injector? i know it’s kind of a dumb question but i need to be sure! doing the job myself
Hey man great videos, just got a 6.7 and I wanna get some software on my laptop for reprogramming when I install parts. Can I download IDS myself or is forscan a good alternative? I just wanna be able to reprogram injections, transmission, and whatever I need to when it comes time to replace. Thank
Do you have to take ac line off beside battery? I had a cylinder 2 injector back out which also broke the return fitting on top of injector when it dislodged ahh. and I’m looking at how to get more room! Any help or advice is appreciated with that backed out injector thanks! Awesome video and job!
No no buddy....that black return line is ALL one piece! It goes to each injector. It needs to be replaced too. Youll most likely have 2 get another injector hold clamp cuz it broke &...because it doesnt come with a new inj...just a bolt & hp line. When replacing that injector...remember it will need to be programmed in. There is a sticker in the bag with numbers on it (IQA#'s) that need to be entered into the trucks ECU
Have you seen any broken injector bolts when trying to remove the old one? I was replacing the injector grommets due to them leaking oil. And I had 2 brake. I had to remove valve covers in order to remove them. The truck had the injectors replaced at another shop previously so I am not sure if they had replaced the bolts or not.
That tech that does Thoroughbred Diesel videos, he said that he doesn't do one injector. He said that if you replace one that you should replace all of them. Do you agree with that sir? Damn, if that's true then that's mighty expensive. Thank you for making these videos buddy. Thumbs up on this video. 👍👍👍
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I'm watching your videos now good job how hard is it to change #8 I had a 7.3 for 17yrs I dis everything to it I havent dove into this 6.7 I was a heavy line mechanic 15 yrs for Chevy now I'm a field service heavy equipment mechanic 20+ yrs I have tools LOL
My 2013 F450 with 306k miles just threw a P0202 Code. Can this code be caused by anything related to an active regen that didn't finish before I shut down the truck and started it back up 15 minutes later after shopping? The outside temp was 67 degrees. Thanks for the help! I enjoyed watching this very thorough video!
I had a injector clamp break on my way home from the dealership I bought my 2011 from . truck was used and had just over a 100k on it , they had me tow it to the nearest dealership in Allentown Pa. to get it fixed , They put a new injector and fuel line and updated hold down clamp on it , it cost the dealership $1900 about 5 years ago , Always thinking if i should change the rest of the hold down clamps to the updated version
2013 Ford 6.7. Fully Deleted at 55K Truck has 95K now and a P1262 Cylinder #2 Injector High to Low Short Runs fine for about 10 minutes into the trip and then misfire like symptoms with no power. Hooked up a Snap On Modis and turned the injectors off one by one and there was no real change when I turned #2 off. Wiring checks out, no chafing or shorts and connector is in good condition. Should I replace the #2 injector. Also will I need to re program the injector if it is Motorcraft and matches to VIN. If I have to change it can I do it with the modi’s with my tune profile still uploaded thanks
Yes replace the injector the only programming you're going to need to do which I don't think you can do with the Snap-on is to program the iqa numbers into the PCM for the injectors you replace
I have a question I have a 2011 with 80,050 had 4 injectors replaced in October 2021 and now Ford is telling me I need4 more injectors need replaced and can't tell me why I'm having issues.

Wow, I tried to loosen one of the hold down bolts today again and no luck... how much effort should it take to break them loose?
They are 22ft lbs and an addtional 90° so its gonna take effort
What about the copper sealing washer? I didn't see that on the injector? Is it not necessary to pull out the old and put in the a new one?
Yes sir. If it's not on the injector then you're going to need to retrieve it

Did you have to reprogram the new injector after install?
You do every time you replace an injector
New to smaller diesels, is there a procedure to prime the fuel lines back up or can you just crank it over after the install?
Crank it & send it

Before changing an injector do you typically check the volume control valve on the cp4 first?
Nope

There are no clamps on the return lines. If that busted off you have bigger issues.....
Their clips one clips on to each injector on the little blue nipple it's a fuel return line to the filter
so why is it manufactures seem to design engines you have to almost disassemble them just to do something simple? it's like remove 5 layers of hoses wires etc just to get to a bolt.
For the same reason you can't design a 1,000 seat theater with all seats being the front row.
@@buckhorncortez Oh but you can very easily. and you didn't have to tear apart the engine back in the '60-'80s and they had larger engines!

If you take replace more than 1 injector on same side do you have to loosen the fuel rail?
No
How do you get the pressure out of the lines or fuel rail before you start working on it?
By the time you're ready to take the high pressure lines off the pressure has already been depleted
Is this a certain way to place the injectors when installing them??? or should i just mimic the previous injector? i know it’s kind of a dumb question but i need to be sure! doing the job myself

PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod another question passengers side is even injectors and drivers side is odd correct? This is for a 2011 ford f-250 btw.
No 1234 front to back passenger side. 5678 front to back drivers side
when you pull the old injector out, is it like the 7.3 where you have to drain any oil out of the cylinder

So you leave the torque wrench set at 22 Ft. Lbs. and turn the bolt 90 degrees using the torque wrench?
