Ron, many thanks to you in heaven. Your videos are incredible and your legacy lives on. This video just allowed a land surveyor in Colorado the ability to diagnose and fix a crank no start 6.0 in my driveway. Local shop couldn't, but had close to 8k in parts they were willing to throw at it. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos, and to your family for keeping them up. Rest in peace.
RIP Ron, i know you are in heaven knowing your videos are still helping people. My daughter and i were traveling with the camper and were in the middle of nowhere when we had a no start issue. It was saturday night and all assistance was non existent. I was able to get a signal with my hotspot and watched this video. The part where Ron wiggled all the wires from the panel to the Ficum and it started.... bingo!! it worked for me and we were on our way to safety. Thanks again if you can hear me.
Man I was sad a bit ago when I heard the news. To the family of Ron.... I don't know how to thank you enough for all the things I've learned from Ron's videos. One of the best teachers ive had in my life. Ive got 2 6.0 trucks. Both have studs done by me and both have never been touched by a professional mechanic since i purchased them... The reason they run so well is Ron's advice. Thanks a ton.
Like so many other folks here. I just wanted to thank Ron and his family for these videos. I bought a used 04 f250 from a dealership and on the way to work the truck shut off and would not start back up. Asked the dealership for help and got refused. I threw parts at it for days wasting money until I came across Ron's videos. And thanks to this video I found my wires were shorting out. Saved me from more wasted money. I'm still learning how to work on these engines and Ron's the go to guy. Thank you.
I spent last night watching several videos and You provided the most direct troubleshooting information. After replacing the EGR cooler and oil cooler, the truck ran for a short time then died,no restart. The information from these videos allowed me to easily understand what happened and where the problem was. The IPR was driving to 85% when cranking and little pressure was being made. Pulled the IPR (Learned from another of Your vids) and the screen was clogged and broken in 2 places. Replaced it and the truck started like it was just parked. I can't thank You enough for these videos!
Hey Ron, You continue to be your family and the community hero! You just saved me $600.00. The truck didn't start and it was diagnosed with fuel sending unit malfunction also. After all it was a lose connection. I recently replaced the oil cooler "Thanks to you and your wife (The camera woman) for one of your longest and detailed video on the subject". Maybe I did not made all the connections secured. After watching this video I decided to disconnect some of the intake hoses one more time and dive in to and find the problem, voila! Now the 2006 6.0 is flying again. Thank you again buddy. RIP dear Ron.
I must say I appreciate the time and effort you've invested to make these HOW TO VIDEO'S for everyone to view. They have helped me immensely and saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars... Keep up the good work... Most of us appreciate it..
Hey Ron just wanted to say thanks for your video, it has helped me out alot. I currently own a 2004 ford f 250 and even though It has given me problems from the day I bought it I love my truck. I have spent lord knows how much money on it to keep it running and then putting new motor in it. I had all work done at the dealership and had a bad experience with them, I just dont trust them anymore. My truck broke down again so just when I was going to give up on it cause lord knows I know nothing about diesel engines I watched your video did all the steps you showed and now I was able to get my truck running again without even spending a dollar, so I just wanted to say thank you for helping guy's like me have hope again so thank you and I am looking forward to watching the rest of your video's to educate myself on working on my truck.
Thanks! on my 04 f-250 I had no FICM sync according to the scan gauge. Wiggled the wires behind the airfilter and up onto the valve cover and she fired right up! You helped me solve a problem I've had for 8 months! You Rock!
This video helped me diagnose exactly what was wrong with my 2006 f450. I have a different scanner then the one he was using so I had to go through everything to find the 4 components to watch but it didn't take long once i found them. My ICPR was reading 84.67% as soon as I took out the IPR seen that the screen was missing about half of it (exactly as he described in another video I watched before this one). I replaced the IPR and now it runs great. Thanks Ron for the quick guide to diagnosing the problem.
I bought a scan gauge 2 to diagnose no start on a 2003 F350 6.0. The scan gauge 2 would power up but would not connect. I determined that the ECU was not talking to the scan gauge 2 and figured it was an ECU power problem. Turned out to be two bad relays. One for the ECU power and one for the FICM power. The easy way to test the relays that are located in the fuse panel under the steering column is to turn the key to run and turn the heater blower on. The top relay on the left is the fan blower and you can use this socket to test all 5 terminal SPDT cube relays.
There is a way to isolate each system and test for leaks. I normally inject the whole system and listen for leak. If no leak is heard I try a know good ipr. Then depending on the year or history I go after it differently. 03-04 most likely a pump. 05 and up most likely a leak. I go after the updated needed parts. dummy plug and coupler.Test each side once it is open. Also quiz the customer for any work done or injectors. If they are genuine injectors and not been touched then probably ok.
It was an injuctor oring on top. Rebiult the injectors, cleaned the turbo, replace all gaskets and oil cooler, up graded stand pipes dummy plug. Low pressure was the injectors making my ipr lose pressure. Runs like a champ. Crap was oil with 209,000 mile.
part of being a master technician must mean that if you place your magical hands upon a vehicle, it WILL start for you. it may not start for others, but it WILL start for YOU.
2285 is usually the icp sensor leaking. A no start and 2290or 2291 could be a few things. The most common on the 03/04 is a pump unless somebody has worked on it. Such as injectors. Make. Sure you have base oil pressure and your ipr valve is not plugged or damaged. Do you. Have a scan gauge?
I have an 04 f350 6.0 The turbo drain tube o ring was leaking Replaced with an updated one but did not seat right so it was leaking even more. So i had to take turbo out again to get to the drain tube. I put old tube with new orings from new one So i put all back together but truck would not start. So after a while i though of pumping on the gas pedal and it started right up. But i dint like the updated drain tube. It sat too high , it made the end that connects to the hpop stick out a lot , this is why it leaked even more.
I hope @autozone understands how much money this one guy made them. Rons stamp of approval is better than thousands of online reviews and that's for real.
Sorry was driving. It was the injectors. Everything was old from to many miles. The oring kit changed the performance of my truck. The trucked the no start when hot.
Hi Ron, I'm a tech who normally only works on gas-burners, got stuck with the job of trying to get my brother-in-law's 04 6.0 SuperDuty running after it refused to start the other day. Checked it out, had a code for a no cam postion sensor circuit, glow plug circuits, low injection oil pressure. But when cranking had sync, but no oil pressure. HPOP was shot. Never made it over 200 psi. Replaced HPOP and the IPR solenoid after the screen tip part broke off when removing it. Got ia ll back together with lots of help from your great videos. But now, The thing still won't start, and I'm not getting FICM sync. Getting a continuous code for open cam position sensor circuit. Where exactly does the damage to the wire loom usually occur?
Great informative videos! I'm a DIY and bought a 2006 6.0 that had blown EGR cooler. After replacing oil cooler, EGR cooler (tig welded both ends closed), both fuel filters, oil change and blue hose coming off turbo to tube, I have crank no start. Watched this video and bought Scangauge. SYC=1, FCM=48.5, IPR=45 & ICP=1287. I checked oil filter & fuel filter. Fuel shows about 1/2" below top of bowl. Engine turns over like no fuel. Wife and daughter hear a high pitch clinking noise after engine turns over several times. I have high frequency hearing loss and can not hear it. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions.
Hey Ron, I have a question for you if you could please answer. My 04 f 350 6.0 has had a no start issue. I went down to my local diesel station and got number 2 diesel like i have always and i was letting it run like i always do. the high idle was on at normal RPM and right when i went to leave i pushed the brake and it died! i figured it was something electrical. after cranking it on i believe the 7th time i tried to start it, it fired right up! this was after i disconnected the batteries the first crank cause i thought it should just reset the computer. my fuel level was 1/4 of a tank when i got fuel and it was filled to 1/2 tank the truck turned over healthy and the clatter of the injectors were there i believe. after that i drove about 30 miles and shut it off ran into walmart came back and it fired right up the rest of the day. Anything ideas or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated! i would not like to get stuck away from home! Thanks a bunch
Ron, I have a 2006 Ford F350 6.0 diesel. the truck was running fine then someone decided to pressure wash the inside of the truck. It wont even try to start. The FICA is showing good, IPR, ICP and sync are good. I don't have no idea where to look now. Please give me your thoughts on what may be the problem. Thanks, Ben
Ron, I have an 03 and suspect the HPOP. Should I Replace the HPOP with an 05 or newer one ? Or has there been an upgraded pump for the 03 or is there a difference between a new 03 or 05 HPOP?
It is tempting to buy the scenner thanks for the video . What was the truck doing before You changed it ?I have changed injector on 04 E 450 SD 6.0 V8 due to smoke (gone now) But now I can only start it with ether only even if hot after diving it ...strats only with ether ...i know that is no good,but I can not find out what is the problem. What would be your guess ?
Hi ron, great video. I'm working on a 2005 ford f550 with a 6.0 diesel. Truck will have a no start condition intermittently. Check ipr 28%, ipc is 600 psi, ficm volts are 48..5. As I turn over there is no ficm sync. I had a code p2617 crank sensor and p0269 and po267 for injectors. What should I look for and what could be possible be causing the intermittent condition? Any info is greatly appreciated.
I have a 2005 Ford F-350 6.0. Just had a crank no start today after the Bank PDA showed a code of PO226 (Cylinder Number 2 & Number 7 Contribution/Balance Power Cylinder, valve train or injector) I've already replaced the FICM (upgraded), Turbo, IPR, ICP, Injectors 2 & 4. The day before this happen I had just purchased a New oil cooler and EGR, then this. Any Ideas?
I got the same problem on my 6.0 2006 and all ready take to the mechanic a couple times and they can figure out what the problem is. The last time I send to them it was cranking but no start and the next morning when they checked it started right up
I have an 05 excursion 6.0. It is reading 0 sync and 48v, IPR 39.81 ICP 909. It did sputter once today but no start. Ideas? I will start looking at wire loom and as usual ran all day yesterday and nothing this morning.
Got one at work. Cold or hot doesn't matter. Low pressure gauge on dash will read nothing. Tap the throttle it raises for a few seconds. 45 or so second start hot or cold. Ipr no more than 28%. Icp pressure low codes, ckp code. Air pressurized it it has a slight leak. But what would cause it to hard start cold and hot?
Ron my early 03 f250 6.0 powerstroke has been down for almost 3 months when it was running and i would stop at a stop light the truck would just shut of but would start back up after cycling the key, did this a few times over 3 or 4 months, the when driving on the freeway just shut down on me and never restarted again, checked codes the were p2285, p2290 and cam sensor changed all out and now just p2290 low.pressure but icp is new, what else do i check
Had ruf idle and drive, Changed icp. Which trk was no start prior. Got Scanguage shows now that ipr during crank 84.5. When hot. When key on no crank shows 14.7. While driving shows normal. ??? Note: just changed dummy plugs, standpipes, o-rings on hpop, turbo feed line and drain tube. I change oil ever 5000 and filter plus fuel filters. Next step changing ipr. Hope thats it. Any help well wanted thanks
Great video Ron! I used your setup to check a no start 2005 6.0. Crank no start, fluids good, all four parameters discussed good except no sync (0) wiggle harness, starts for 1 second and dies, then suddenly it starts without sync. Runs and drives with no sync. Slight stumble when cold. What scenario provides for running with no sync? Schreck
Thank you for sharing your knowledge // I had a Syc 0 no start issue and it was the wire loom, I moved it and shook it up/down a little bit just like in your video and it started right up // that opens up a new can of worms for me, because my truck has been running poor for a while (like someone flipped a switched) and I was thinking it was plugged injectors because all the other values are good for all the sensors, but now I am thinking maybe this all has to do with the injector wire harness and other wires, damn Ford!!!!! When will you get this stuff right, after 300 years ? lol
I have an 04 / I changed two injectors and things worked well, but now there is air coming into the fuel filter at top, any idea why ? I think I need to replace my fuel pump, that caused all these issues to begin with..
Ray Kodiak yeah I'm no mechanic so I have no idea. But yeah the HPOP is a worse design on the 03-04 than 05-07. Have you seen powerstrokehelps videos? He seems to be pretty know legible.
Great series of videos!!! Im troubleshooting right now. Scan gauge shows 3.06 FMP but using the test lead on the ficm shows 48.5 volts KOEO. Im confused.
i have same problem trouble shooting a 2003 f250 with low icp and high ipr took ipr valve out cleaned it and reinstalled now i have no ficm power on my scan gauge but have it on the ficm. why is my scan gauge not picking up the ficm main power on my scan gauge?
I have an 2007 F250 I bought a scan gauge II have 48 volts at FICM but the reading on my FMP is 0 on my scan gauge II. SYC 0 . The truck died while drive it restarted and died again. Now will not start at all. Any help with trying to work this out.
I wish Ron was still around to help me. I have a 2003 6.0 that won't get sync and it's not the harness, the cam/crank sensors, the ficm, or the PCM. My mechanic can't figure it out, does anyone have any ideas?
I heard of a rairity? I’m re going threw my 03 right now and did hear from my mechanic that the weld on the crankshaft that tells when the injectors are supposed to fire if that breaks! Sets everything out of time! So if it is a design flaw and I end up finding that all let you all know just have a hard time believing that a pressed and welded gear would fail at 194839 miles deducting 75000 with don Chalmers having to re engine my 03 F250
hi ron, your videos are a great help. well i have a problem 6 liter. its a 2003 f250 build date 04/03, its a crank no start most of the time. will start if you step on the accelarator a little. memory codes p0283, p0603, p2614, p2617. koeo ficm m pwr 47.0 v, icp press 26.6 psi, ipr 15%. engine cranking icp press 2800 psi, icp volt 1.2-2.0 volts, ipr 43%, sync yes, ficm sync fluctuates yes/no, rpm155 all while cranking. cmp/ckp sensors new motocraft, hp pump new? any info thank you ron.
Hi Ron, I have a 2003 6.0 I'm trying to crank but no start , crankshaft sensor, cooling fan sensor came out I just replace them but still same, now I ran scanner again and is said that my 8 injectors were bad if I erase the code truck will go on but when it cool down gives same problem. .. injectors were replace not to long ago do to I poor a whole quarter of 911 to a 35 gallon tank .... I'm just tire now any suggestions? Thank you
I have a simpler video titled no start tips tricks and tools. usually with all eight injector codes is s failing ficm. watch your ficm main power voltage. it should never drop below 45 with good voltage in. if you need one I sell them on ebay. search ficm I should be right there. hopefully.
Hello I have f250 6.0 2003 with a no start condition. I went out and purchased the scangauge like you had suggested,From what I can tell it should start. but I can't hear the injector go thought the pre cycle. Does it mean it's the ficm the volt are 48 before and deering the cranking icp 1540, syc 1 yes. where should I start
I have a 05 6.0 and I bought the tool and have set it up myself and all of the parameters are within operating range and I just installed a new 58v FICM from Swamps Diesel and have put a new fuel pump up front and it's definitely putting fuel to the fuel bowl. A couple days ago it hydrolocked and it now cranks but won't start. Any ideas? Also no codes
+DieselTechRon now it's not showing signs of hydrolocking and it cranks but it won't start, I'm not getting any codes but how can I perform an injector buzz test to see which injectors are bad? If its injectors or something else?
I have a F350 with a 6.0 navistar engine and the engine crank but no any light on panel and no start, when the scan is attached show a "communication error".....could be the PCM or a short circuit in the panel?.....anybody who can help I will appreciate.......
I have a F250 6.0 2005 I went out and bought a scangauge2 I have no codes and my FMP 48.0 IPR 14.8 SYC 1 and my ICP doesn't go past 47. Do I need a new ICP plug or do I have a leak or a torn IPR? HELP
2006 6.0 , died going down the highway . replaced high pressure oil pump , rebuilt ficm . replaced apr valve . Got fuel to the bowl and oil flow . what is next ? just cranks
Hey there DJ Tech, I just bouth my son a 2006 F-250. Im having the same problems like everyone else. It cranks but does not start. Could I call you and talk.

this is my first diesel truck 2004 ford and so happy I find this video really help me thanks Ron
Here trying to figure out whats going on with my truck...Ron will live on forever!!! Thanks Ron sleep in peace
God bless him and his family.
This information is priceless and he has saved many people ALOT of money.
Rest in peace my friend.
Hello Ron thank you for all your vids. Great job!!

thank you Ron videos are really helpful. 👍👍
There is a way to isolate each system and test for leaks. I normally inject the whole system and listen for leak. If no leak is heard I try a know good ipr. Then depending on the year or history I go after it differently. 03-04 most likely a pump. 05 and up most likely a leak. I go after the updated needed parts. dummy plug and coupler.Test each side once it is open. Also quiz the customer for any work done or injectors. If they are genuine injectors and not been touched then probably ok.
Thank you so much Ron. Was the harness at the fuel filter. Again THANK YOU !!!
Wow, now that saves hours of work. DieselTechRon has that Powerstroke Magic Touch.Good Vid Ron very helpfull
Wire loom. Could still be a ficm or sensor. If you have rpm signal that's a plus and rules out the crank sensor and circuit.
Hi John. I have a video showing a sticking turbo and the vgt showing.
It was an injuctor oring on top. Rebiult the injectors, cleaned the turbo, replace all gaskets and oil cooler, up graded stand pipes dummy plug. Low pressure was the injectors making my ipr lose pressure. Runs like a champ. Crap was oil with 209,000 mile.
This guy is a saint
Was a Great teacher for all 6.0 lovers. Forever missed mr Ron. Rep ! thanks for all your videos. Very clearly explained

Ron, great vids, thank you, how do I know if I have a faulty HPOP or a leak?
Sorry was driving. It was the injectors. Everything was old from to many miles. The oring kit changed the performance of my truck. The trucked the no start when hot.

i have checked feul pump filters all working will
Got it good video but you made one about fuel bleeding but were would you bleed a 05
I had Sync 1.0. But no start. I did the wire loom wiggle trick and she fired up? Anyone have any ideas? RIP Ron. Bless you
Have you used the Scan Gauge to identify a sticking turbo yet? I would like to see that. Thanks
Hey Ron, I have a question for you if you could please answer. My 04 f 350 6.0 has had a no start issue.

Hey I found a sensor close to where you are talking about by the ficom that isn't plugged it but can't find where it needs to be plugged in at
Ron, I have a 2006 Ford F350 6.0 diesel. the truck was running fine then someone decided to pressure wash the inside of the truck. It wont even try to start. The FICA is showing good, IPR, ICP and sync are good. I don't have no idea where to look now. Please give me your thoughts on what may be the problem.
Thanks,

Hi Ron I was wondering if you could give the part# for that harness that goes bad.
Ron, I have an 03 and suspect the HPOP. Should I Replace the HPOP with an 05 or newer one ? Or has there been an upgraded pump for the 03 or is there a difference between a new 03 or 05 HPOP?
It is tempting to buy the scenner thanks for the video .
What was the truck doing before You changed it ?I have changed injector on 04 E 450 SD 6.0 V8 due to smoke (gone now) But now I can only start it with ether only even if hot after diving it ...strats only with ether ...i know that is no good,but I can not find out what is the problem. What would be your guess ?
Hi ron, great video. I'm working on a 2005 ford f550 with a 6.0 diesel. Truck will have a no start condition intermittently. Check ipr 28%, ipc is 600 psi, ficm volts are 48..5. As I turn over there is no ficm sync. I had a code p2617 crank sensor and p0269 and po267 for injectors. What should I look for and what could be possible be causing the intermittent condition? Any info is greatly appreciated.
I have a 2005 Ford F-350 6.0. Just had a crank no start today after the Bank PDA showed a code of PO226 (Cylinder Number 2 & Number 7 Contribution/Balance Power Cylinder, valve train or injector) I've already replaced the FICM (upgraded), Turbo, IPR, ICP, Injectors 2 & 4. The day before this happen I had just purchased a New oil cooler and EGR, then this. Any Ideas?
I got the same problem on my 6.0 2006 and all ready take to the mechanic a couple times and they can figure out what the problem is.
The last time I send to them it was cranking but no start and the next morning when they checked it started right up
I have an 05 excursion 6.0. It is reading 0 sync and 48v, IPR 39.81 ICP 909.
It did sputter once today but no start. Ideas? I will start looking at wire loom and as usual ran all day yesterday and nothing this morning.
Got one at work. Cold or hot doesn't matter. Low pressure gauge on dash will read nothing. Tap the throttle it raises for a few seconds. 45 or so second start hot or cold. Ipr no more than 28%. Icp pressure low codes, ckp code. Air pressurized it it has a slight leak. But what would cause it to hard start cold and hot?
Very Good!...
Were you able to find the issue?? I've changed the same things with no help on hot no start. Did ipr fix it?
Ron my early 03 f250 6.0 powerstroke has been down for almost 3 months when it was running and i would stop at a stop light the truck would just shut of but would start back up after cycling the key, did this a few times over 3 or 4 months, the when driving on the freeway just shut down on me and never restarted again, checked codes the were p2285, p2290 and cam sensor changed all out and now just p2290 low.pressure but icp is new, what else do i check
what to check next if everything is like its suspose to be with the scangauge and still. sometimes takes about 30 seconds to start.
Thanks
I have a 1990 pre powerstoke 7.3 that won't start when warm. Do you have any idea what it is? Thanks
Had ruf idle and drive, Changed icp. Which trk was no start prior. Got Scanguage shows now that ipr during crank 84.5. When hot. When key on no crank shows 14.7. While driving shows normal. ??? Note: just changed dummy plugs, standpipes, o-rings on hpop, turbo feed line and drain tube. I change oil ever 5000 and filter plus fuel filters. Next step changing ipr. Hope thats it. Any help well wanted thanks
Thank u thank u thank u
How do I get my scanguage to show the stuff yours is showing? Such as ipr & fmp
rest in peace
What's the name of the computer you use to scan codes
Great video Ron! I used your setup to check a no start 2005 6.0. Crank no start, fluids good, all four parameters discussed good except no sync (0) wiggle harness, starts for 1 second and dies, then suddenly it starts without sync. Runs and drives with no sync. Slight stumble when cold. What scenario provides for running with no sync?

You can take this information to the bank!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge // I had a Syc 0 no start issue and it was the wire loom, I moved it and shook it up/down a little bit just like in your video and it started right up // that opens up a new can of worms for me, because my truck has been running poor for a while (like someone flipped a switched) and I was thinking it was plugged injectors because all the other values are good for all the sensors, but now I am thinking maybe this all has to do with the injector wire harness and other wires, damn Ford!!!!! When will you get this stuff right, after 300 years ? lol
+Ray Kodiak Do you have an 03? I heard they have wiring issues.....
I have an 04 / I changed two injectors and things worked well, but now there is air coming into the fuel filter at top, any idea why ? I think I need to replace my fuel pump, that caused all these issues to begin with..
Ray Kodiak yeah I'm no mechanic so I have no idea. But yeah the HPOP is a worse design on the 03-04 than 05-07. Have you seen powerstrokehelps videos? He seems to be pretty know legible.
ya, I hate these trucks, planning to sell it as soon as I figure out how to fix it :- )
Ray Kodiak haha how much and what is it exactly. Crew? color?
Great series of videos!!! Im troubleshooting right now. Scan gauge shows 3.06 FMP but using the test lead on the ficm shows 48.5 volts KOEO. Im confused.
i have same problem trouble shooting a 2003 f250 with low icp and high ipr took ipr valve out cleaned it and reinstalled now i have no ficm power on my scan gauge but have it on the ficm. why is my scan gauge not picking up the ficm main power on my scan gauge?
There are 3 ficm volts you can check they are line, main and volts.
I have an 2007 F250 I bought a scan gauge II have 48 volts at FICM but the reading on my FMP is 0 on my scan gauge II. SYC 0 . The truck died while drive it restarted and died again.
Now will not start at all. Any help with trying to work this out.
puckheadist sorry to bother you I have the same problem that you have on your truck do you find out what was thank you for your time
And 2 minutes later after shut off it'll take a few seconds 5-6 but still starts.. 20 minutes after shutoff it's a 45 second start again.
I whis you in my area....
I wish Ron was still around to help me. I have a 2003 6.0 that won't get sync and it's not the harness, the cam/crank sensors, the ficm, or the PCM. My mechanic can't figure it out, does anyone have any ideas?
I have an 03 with same problem.
I heard of a rairity? I’m re going threw my 03 right now and did hear from my mechanic that the weld on the crankshaft that tells when the injectors are supposed to fire if that breaks! Sets everything out of time! So if it is a design flaw and I end up finding that all let you all know just have a hard time believing that a pressed and welded gear would fail at 194839 miles deducting 75000 with don Chalmers having to re engine my 03 F250
Jason Dols I don't mean to be nosey or sound dumb but why is Ron not still around?
Steven McHenry I believe he died in a car accident awhile back.
yes he died from a car accident...he passed away two yrs ago. I think he was either test driving a car or otw to get gas and someone hit him.
hi ron, your videos are a great help. well i have a problem 6 liter. its a 2003 f250 build date 04/03, its a crank no start most of the time. will start if you step on the accelarator a little. memory codes p0283, p0603, p2614, p2617. koeo ficm m pwr 47.0 v, icp press 26.6 psi, ipr 15%. engine cranking icp press 2800 psi, icp volt 1.2-2.0 volts, ipr 43%, sync yes, ficm sync fluctuates yes/no, rpm155 all while cranking. cmp/ckp sensors new motocraft, hp pump new? any info thank you ron.

Hi Ron,
I have a 2003 6.0 I'm trying to crank but no start , crankshaft sensor, cooling fan sensor came out I just replace them but still same, now I ran scanner again and is said that my 8 injectors were bad if I erase the code truck will go on but when it cool down gives same problem. .. injectors were replace not to long ago do to I poor a whole quarter of 911 to a 35 gallon tank .... I'm just tire now any suggestions? Thank you
I have a simpler video titled no start tips tricks and tools. usually with all eight injector codes is s failing ficm. watch your ficm main power voltage. it should never drop below 45 with good voltage in. if you need one I sell them on ebay. search ficm I should be right there. hopefully.
+DieselTechRon I have a 2004 F250 6.0l no crank and no start.
Hello I have f250 6.0 2003 with a no start condition. I went out and purchased the scangauge like you had suggested,From what I can tell it should start. but I can't hear the injector go thought the pre cycle. Does it mean it's the ficm the volt are 48 before and deering the cranking icp 1540, syc 1 yes. where should I start
Did you figure out the problem
I have a 05 6.0 and I bought the tool and have set it up myself and all of the parameters are within operating range and I just installed a new 58v FICM from Swamps Diesel and have put a new fuel pump up front and it's definitely putting fuel to the fuel bowl. A couple days ago it hydrolocked and it now cranks but won't start. Any ideas? Also no codes
hydrolocked it's usually an injector or egr cooler. remove the glow plugs, free it up and find out what's in there.
+DieselTechRon now it's not showing signs of hydrolocking and it cranks but it won't start, I'm not getting any codes but how can I perform an injector buzz test to see which injectors are bad? If its injectors or something else?
ThereGoesWilson) OK
I have a F350 with a 6.0 navistar engine and the engine crank but no any light on panel and no start, when the scan is attached show a "communication error".....could be the PCM or a short circuit in the panel?.....anybody who can help I will appreciate.......
Cesar Vial it has been 6 months ago but i had a problem like yours it ended up being the main power wire that feeds the fuse box underhood
F350 6.0 when cold won't start only with starting fluid
I have a 6.0 diesel no start
do you have number phone to join you ?
Thanks
soy mecánico y tengo una Ford 6.0 que le cambie un inyector y ahora se calienta y no arranca

I have a F250 6.0 2005 I went out and bought a scangauge2 I have no codes and my FMP 48.0 IPR 14.8 SYC 1 and my ICP doesn't go past 47. Do I need a new ICP plug or do I have a leak or a torn IPR? HELP
Oh I also checked the oil filter bowl and it does fill up with oil when cranked. I have no idea what it can be, just hoping its a easy and cheap fix.
its most likely going to be a stand pipe, dummy plug or stc fitting..
hey my friend ,have you fixed your truck?? I'm having the same problem and my number is the same of yours can you help? please
2006 6.0 , died going down the highway . replaced high pressure oil pump , rebuilt ficm . replaced apr valve . Got fuel to the bowl and oil flow . what is next ? just cranks
do you have a scan gauge? whats your icp pressure and ipr % while cranking? are you getting ficm sync?
Ron.. i need help with my truck , to long of a story! can i call you??
He passed away a short while ago.

SMH - getting Chevy truck ads during a Ford repair video....
Hey Ron just wanted to say thanks for your video, it has helped me out alot. I currently own a 2004 ford f 250 and even though It has given me problems from the day I bought it I love my truck. I have spent lord knows how much money on it to keep it running and then putting new motor in it. I had all work done at the dealership and had a bad experience with them, I just dont trust them anymore. My truck broke down again so just when I was going to give up on it cause lord knows I know nothing about diesel engines I watched your video did all the steps you showed and now I was able to get my truck running again without even spending a dollar, so I just wanted to say thank you for helping guy's like me have hope again so thank you and I am looking forward to watching the rest of your video's to educate myself on working on my truck.
Hi John. I have a video showing a sticking turbo and the vgt showing.
