Thanks for all the great instructions over the years. I bought a 7.3 three years ago as an mechanical amateur novice. The previous owner probably had the problem with the wiring harness rubbing on the valve cover causing the whole thing to skip out, which I found and fixed thanks to you. Been an awesome truck and fun to learn with.
You know what. I’m gonna run my 7.3 as long as I possibly can. Yeah it starts hard in the cold and it’s not as comfortable and quiet. But the thing just runs. And that’s all I need it to do.
You can fix that hard start. 7 degrees Christmas morning here north carolina. I don't drive my 2001 7.3very much anymore more but i wanted how she would crank. Turned the, wait to went out fired right up, no cycling the wait to start. Last year new glow plugs, new injector orings and shims, injector cups. My truck has 407000 miles on it and would drive it to California today, with no worries.
I have 2011 f250 6.7 with 310k miles on it , so far I replaced fan clutch , and at 300k replaced oil cooler , also coolent bridge gasket , also starter at 305k , total so far in parts repairs 1k ( did labor myself) Never had any turbo issues mentioned, p. S truck has been delited after warranty expired, so from 36k miles truck works outstanding , just do ur oil changes and flush ur radiators and change coolent , my oil cooler coolent ports got clogged from iron block iron flaked , so radiator fluids is a must to replace to protect from corrosion!!!!!
Thanks Bill for turning me on to Archoil, I've used in my 03 7.3 and now I use in my 2019 SD350 6.7, I use Archoil like clock work. Archoil is just piece of mind...
If I had an 6.7 you would be too of my list to bring it to you if anything major happened for sure. Got super close to getting one then COVID and all the craziness happened. Still rocking my old 7.3. Thanks for the video.
I had a issue which 3 different shops could not fix. Through watching your page with ty I really love your videos I made myself aware of the functionality of this engine. I'm not a mechanic but have turned wrenches since I was 12yrs old. Anyways I was getting the reduced power code only when using my truck to pull my fifthwheel camper. The truck does 80mph all day long as long as the road is flat. When going from Michigan to North Carolina in the mountains is where my issues began. Like I said after 3 shops and watching your videos I found the issue and had the 3rd shop replace the bad part. My truck on this rail preasure regulator was bad. It wasn't sealing and where my issues were derived in this whole conversation. After having this replaced I've driven this truck up 8% grades zero issues. Thanks for your videos I hope we can do business in the future.
My 2001 7.tree f2shity has over 820 thousand miles....not one leak on the truck.... still stroking and purrs like a kitten 😸... been driving it for 23 years now.....try that dodge or Chevy.....
These engines run so good and they tow even better, it’s just so hard to justify owning one because of how expensive and how complicated they are. They are also not end user friendly- even someone who is mechanically skilled will have a very tough time working on this engine. I will likely be in the market for a diesel pickup in the next year and I absolutely will not buy anything newer then a 7.3 if we are talking ford’s.
I've been following this channel for 10 years easily.. I grew up on a farm and I've been a self taught mechanic since I was a child pretty much. I've worked on just about everything that moves I've been a industrial and heavy equipment mechanic in steel mills to working on my race bikes.. If you want your Powerstroke Truck repaired properly send it to these guys!! Bill and his team are knowledgeable and use the correct parts and have experience at working on your specific truck so if you're reading this second guessing your decision trust me you'll save money in the long run sending to him in the first place! Have a great day! Thanks for educating us on how to properly repair these trucks Bill! I feel like I should have a certificate for completing all of the videos 😆 🤣 godbless ya!!
Caterpillar has done fuel trims for a long time. It's good to see other manufacturers doing it. It makes fueling more precise which of course is a necessity these days.
I watch this channel to learn and enjoy the content. I even considered buying a refurbished unit from them . I used this site to help my friend fix his 6.0 . Thanks for the videos
I've been using the Archoil oil and fuel additive in my 2001 f350 7.3 and I'm over 300 thousand mile and still running strong. I know things can break but I'm not ever gonna sell this truck.
Cat C-175 and 3500 are the same way. You have to upload the trim file from cat for each injector. Sure miss the “old” days of just swapping out a injector. Good info guys for sure.
Is the same problem where you get the computer shutting off the low pressure pump during driving, and then needing to stop and shift into park and restart the truck because it thinks there’s a fuel leak present on the 6.4 model as well? In other words is it one of the hangover problems from the 6.4 or is it a new problem introduced specifically with the 6.7?
I run Archoil in my truck and have been for about 8 years. I can tell the difference when it's not in the fuel from the sound/feel of the engine to the smell of the exhaust. Keep up the good work Bill and Mike
I've never yet owned a powerstroke truck but i have discovered that the lessons bill shows apply to all diesel trucks and equipment ,,i started using archoil in all my diesel powered machines ,i have a diesel generator i was thinking might need new injectors because it was smoking and using excess fuel ,running it for a couple days with archoil in the fuel fixed the sticking injectors and it runs better than ever ,,i should say that this machine has an Ingersol rand designed Kubota diesel engine meant for a refrigeration unit ,,it just passed 28000 hours run time 55hp engine turning a 25KW generator
The 6.7 is a great running truck when it’s all squared away, but I’ll stick to my 7.3 cause it does what I need it to do. Less parts for me to worry about.
Good video Bill, I don't have a powerstroke but I have watched nearly all your videos starting with the 7.3 and they are very educational but have an 08 gmc duramax with improved emissions you know what I mean by that but you are correct about there's no lubricity in today's junk fuel that's why I use Howles fuel treatment every tank full and have had zero issues with my fuel injectors, fuel regulator or CP3 pump all of which are OEM and nearing 300k miles 👍🏿however I do run a lift pump and a Donaldson fuel filter on the engine
My 2011 turbo failed 2 years ago, retrofitted a 17 turbo and she’s doing great. Is the fuel issue only linked to a DEF mistake or do they just turn loose in general
I had a lazy injector on my T-444E (IH 7.3), and got another 2 and a half years out of it by using archoil. . after 2 oil changes wit hthe oil additive and running the fuel additive, the injector was working every time! and ocntinued to do so till i noticed it just starting to get lazy again 40000 miles later.. im continuing to use archoil with my new injectors and new HPOP.. great product! it works!
I’ve got a ‘97 obs 7.3 that I’ve owned since new. I’ve been using Diesel Kleen since it was new. Is the Archoil that much better or is the Diesel Kleen just as good?
The guys at Metro fuel injection (a big time reman diesel injector company) discouraged me from using diesel kleen as it lacks the lubricity the injectors need for smooth operation. Although it may do a decent job cleaning, prob not worth risking damage to the injectors. They recommended stanadyne products for regular use.
big secret is that the stock injectors you have in your truck were built by CAT, HPOP too. I think its the 3126 Cat injectors that are the bigger injectors everyone sells out on the interweb.
Change your ccv out as fast as you can when you get the truck. I’m at 200k and 20k hours on the motor not a drop from the oil pan. The ccv gets clogged and pressurizes the oil and pushes it out
Yes you need a disaster prevention kit!! S&s makes the best one. It will not prevent the pump from failing… but it will contain the damage and protect the rest of the system
I only see failures not success stories. Since I have seen several 6.7L pump failures with the saver kit installed and all the the rest of the injection damaged also, it is my opinion that the saver kit is not worth the time money and effort to install. The flip side of the coin is that Archoil ar6500 used regularly in your oil will make the HPFP last indefinitely so you don't need the kit to begin with.
@@powerstrokehelp well that’s good to know! I’ve got a 2015 F250 6.7 with 54k miles. I bought it in 2017 with 22k miles, second owner, and I’ve been using Archoil in EVERY tank of fuel and I use the oil additive idk, annually at minimum. I also sent an oil sample to Blackstone Labs at 41k miles and their analysis said everything looked good and had some higher levels because of the Archoil, but they were aware of it. I tell everyone to use Archoil. I’ve had no real issues aside from just replacing 1-1 and 1-2 egt sensors, and I’m having the shop do my PM sensor as I’m getting a dtc for that now, and the collar flats rusted out so needed a new bung, but those are consumables. Had increased mpg’s and less regens than I had the first few months I bought my truck since using Archoil. Also use the fuel cleaner annually as well. Only found it from your Chanel here, but it works!
$12K to have a Calif. dealer fix. Fuel pump Grenade at 100K. Dealer had no idea how to properly fix, Luckily I did my research (that's when I found & started following you and Mikey) I made sure they replaced all the parts. That is a major strike against Ford...fix the high pressure fuel pump. Ford knows it is an issue all they did was make and sell a kit to fix your truck after the pump fails. Thanks for the great info.
Too bad they decided to use the Bosch CP4/CP4.2 on an otherwise decent engine. $9 to12 k for new injectors, and other fuel system components all because of a known defective designed high pressure fuel pump (research it and see). The CP4 is the reason GM switched from a CP4 to a Denso HP4 high pressure pump on the 2017 to current L5P Duramax. RAM tried the CP4.2 on their 2019 and some early 2020 Cummins 6.7's and after major failures are now recalling them. GM is being sued over the CP4 used on the 2011 to 2016 LML Duramax. The roller cam followers on the CP4 are the issue and will fail over time regardless of fuel. I personally do believe that products like Archoil are absolutely worth using and might even prolong a CP4's life. The Bosch CP3 (used on the RAM) and Denso HP4 pumps are much better and do not suffer the same issues as the CP4 due to a completely different design. The CP4.2 is the major reason I did not purchase a 6.7 Powerstroke.
Unfortunately (2011 F450 6.7) experienced hpfp failure (Nov '21) from contaminated fuel (water) pumped 17g into 37 gal tank til full. This was later proven by state inspection. Station was ordered to stop selling fuel. You might think Exxon would take responsibility, they didn't! Leaving me with the cost of repairs. This is what happened: First line of defense, water sensor failed: "water in fuel" instrument panel light didn't come on! Apparently Ford water sensor not very sensitive and don't react fast enough to alert driver. Second line of defense, filter failed: water separator became saturated and allowed contaminated fuel to be bypassed! This Ford filter design doesn't stop fuel flow to engine when too much water becomes trapped in the water separator filter (mounted on frame). Apparently, FASS filters work differently by stopping fuel flow when saturated (clogged). They have no drain, only replacement. Ford doesn't recommend FASS filter system, voids warrenty! You know what happened next! Cost: TTL $11,706.05 includes a couple extras that were done as preventative. One year later, while having oil changed at Ford, my SA told me the cost of fuel system failure (Oct '22) increased to $17,000.00 mostly due to an increase in parts. An expensive lesson. Think I just paid for a master's degree in Ford diesel fuel systems! The frustrating thing is, that after paying for this very expensive repair, I still have the same problematic water sensor and fuel filter. Yes, I now pay more attention to where I buy fuel and change filters more often. There's still no way to monitor the filter condition like the air filter, which shows airflow resistance. Hope this helps someone avoid this budget buster repair!
Very sobering story. My ‘13 F-250 just passed 160K miles. With the exception of the DEF, it has been very reliable. I was wondering if anyone has recommended changing out the CP4 pump at certain intervals? Thanks.
Hope you don't mind me riding your coattails here Bill..but I wanna offer anyone in this thread the opportunity to own a solid rustfree Alabama State retired 2001 F350 4x4 Longbed Crewcab XL..super plainjane work truck..smooth automatic..7.3 with unheard of 74xxx actual miles..manual locking hubs..4x4 floor stick.. vinyl benches front &back..zero slack in the steering..runs like it's on rails at 90mph..no check engine lights..got a freon leak on the a/c..I got it about 3 yrs ago for medium sized camper needs..i sold the camper..no longer need this unit..$17k..
I think guys are crazy for pouring water in the DPF tank to save money on the DPF fluid. From my point of view I would much rather have a 7.3L dino that is much easier to deal with. I also like the body style of the older trucks. No mater what diesel truck you are running you need to keep up on the maintance and keep the injectors clean and fresh fluids are key to a long lasting truck.
Those are Bill Hewitt's trucks not Pascal's. The trucks are cheap but the work done to them adds up. Instead of buying a cheap truck that needs everything done. Pascal and I sell cheap trucks with EVERYTHING done to them.
@@powerstrokehelp no not that I'm aware of. I'm ignorant to the diesel and I'm always worried it's just a time bomb.. your theory and findings make total sense though for my problem. it had died as if someone pulled the plug on your vacuum at home. neutral to the roadside .. sit.. restart. go. where should i start making this 2011 dealer proof? "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi.. your my only hope!"
These engines are so complicated and complex. The cost to repair them is insane. I bet over half of these on the road aren’t being used as they were designed to be used towing and hauling heavy.I’d run from this to get a new 7.3 gasser where a complete engine costs less than a DPF or a set of injectors on a 6.7.
If they would quit sucking farm diesel and every other source of diesel fuel out to put in the truck, and faithfully change oil, 85% of those cases would be eliminated. Treat the truck like shit and its going to have the last say.
Arch oil really does work, I finally got two friends turned onto it. My friends 2018 Dodge Cummins bone stock was getting 10mpg now he gets 12-14 after running arch oil. It truly is good stuff and actually works! Thanks for another great video
Problem is the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump is problematic. From what I have been told is ford and gm use this pump. Cummins found out it was problematic early on and changed to the CP3 pump. Ford needs to change the pump and problem solved.
100% spot on. RAM actually used the CP4 on the 2019 and a few 2020 6.7 Cummins and now after many failures are recalling those trucks and installing CP3's. Ford 6.7 Powerstrokes cannot be retrofitted the CP3 is too large and will not fit.

wow, it's been around for 11 years!
That's what scares me about 6.7's and that price tag if and when this does occur. Welp, I'm staying with my 7.3!
Great videos! What was the name of the aftermarket system used to prevent damage to the fuel system that you mentioned?
Is the same problem where you get the computer shutting off the low pressure pump during driving, and then needing to stop and shift into park and restart the truck because it thinks there’s a fuel leak present on the 6.4 model as well?

I use Arch Oil on my vehicles. It's great! Thanks for telling us about it Bill!
I run the fuel additive in my 2007 335i and it’s literally gold especially after this being my second set of injectors..

Does the 2023 use a CP4?
Not sure if Cummins are more simple but seems like so many moving parts. Almost just bound to have problems.
I got a 2020 f250 6.7 and have been doing Archoil since the beginning living on the road already have 80k pulling 10k lb trailer no problems yet.
1997 7.3 here! Archoil, gets used in my 7.3 and my gas trucks.
So is it worth adding the CP4 prevention kit? Sounds like it still destroys everything anyways.
Yes you need a disaster prevention kit!! S&s makes the best one. It will not prevent the pump from failing… but it will contain the damage and protect the rest of the system
Hopefully I didnt miss it but what was causing the restriction? Failed parts or dirt?
previous mechanic not doing his job
So the cp4 disaster prevention kit DIDN’T stop the shavings from getting to the fuel rail?
I only see failures not success stories. Since I have seen several 6.7L pump failures with the saver kit installed and all the the rest of the injection damaged also, it is my opinion that the saver kit is not worth the time money and effort to install. The flip side of the coin is that Archoil ar6500 used regularly in your oil will make the HPFP last indefinitely so you don't need the kit to begin with.

1996 F-350 dully 197000 still going strong 7.3
They are great engines, just be ready to spend 4K to reseal the bed plate haha…
What is the deal with this clogged fuel “log”? Isn’t there some way to clean it out? Many thou for a little pipe seems crazy.
You send DEF through it... Nope.
I have a 2012 with 280k and a 2017 with 170k miles with no dpf and still running strong
CCV pressure causing upper oil pan to leak
and flying oil caps!
Moral of the story. Stick with a 12v mechanical or gasser. Got it.
Why would you put DEF in your fuel system? What is the purpose of that?
Because some people are stupid. It's that simple. The DPF fill port is bright blue . It's hard to miss and it's well labelled.

RAM tried the CP4.2 on their 2019 and some early 2020 Cummins 6.7's and after major failures are now recalling them. GM is being sued over the CP4 used on the 2011 to 2016 LML Duramax. The roller cam followers on the CP4 are the issue and will fail over time regardless of fuel. I personally do believe that products like Archoil are absolutely worth using and might even prolong a CP4's life. The Bosch CP3 (used on the RAM) and Denso HP4 pumps are much better and do not suffer the same issues as the CP4 due to a completely different design. The CP4.2 is the major reason I did not purchase a 6.7 Powerstroke.
Unfortunately (2011 F450 6.7) experienced hpfp failure (Nov '21) from contaminated fuel (water) pumped 17g into 37 gal tank til full. This was later proven by state inspection. Station was ordered to stop selling fuel. You might think Exxon would take responsibility, they didn't! Leaving me with the cost of repairs. This is what happened:
First line of defense, water sensor failed: "water in fuel" instrument panel light didn't come on! Apparently Ford water sensor not very sensitive and don't react fast enough to alert driver.
Second line of defense, filter failed: water separator became saturated and allowed contaminated fuel to be bypassed! This Ford filter design doesn't stop fuel flow to engine when too much water becomes trapped in the water separator filter (mounted on frame). Apparently, FASS filters work differently by stopping fuel flow when saturated (clogged). They have no drain, only replacement. Ford doesn't recommend FASS filter system, voids warrenty!
You know what happened next!
Cost: TTL $11,706.05 includes a couple extras that were done as preventative. One year later, while having oil changed at Ford, my SA told me the cost of fuel system failure (Oct '22) increased to $17,000.00 mostly due to an increase in parts. An expensive lesson. Think I just paid for a master's degree in Ford diesel fuel systems! The frustrating thing is, that after paying for this very expensive repair, I still have the same problematic water sensor and fuel filter. Yes, I now pay more attention to where I buy fuel and change filters more often. There's still no way to monitor the filter condition like the air filter, which shows airflow resistance. Hope this helps someone avoid this budget buster repair!
Very sobering story. My ‘13 F-250 just passed 160K miles. With the exception of the DEF, it has been very reliable. I was wondering if anyone has recommended changing out the CP4 pump at certain intervals? Thanks.
Fuel systems on the 6.7 are like the 6.4 engines. You gotta replace it all 🤣
but on a 6.4 you have to take out a Morgage to fix them.
Bill, have a special segment with Mike on all the problems he has seen with people playing around with there 6.7 motors.
will that archoil do anything for a old 7.3 or is that just a waste of time and money
Hope you don't mind me riding your coattails here Bill..but I wanna offer anyone in this thread the opportunity to own a solid rustfree Alabama State retired 2001 F350 4x4 Longbed Crewcab XL..super plainjane work truck..smooth automatic..7.3 with unheard of 74xxx actual miles..manual locking hubs..4x4 floor stick.. vinyl benches front &back..zero slack in the steering..runs like it's on rails at 90mph..no check engine lights..got a freon leak on the a/c..I got it about 3 yrs ago for medium sized camper needs..i sold the camper..no longer need this unit..$17k..
I think guys are crazy for pouring water in the DPF tank to save money on the DPF fluid. From my point of view I would much rather have a 7.3L dino that is much easier to deal with. I also like the body style of the older trucks. No mater what diesel truck you are running you need to keep up on the maintance and keep the injectors clean and fresh fluids are key to a long lasting truck.
Pascal’s truck prices are high as giraffe balls
Those are Bill Hewitt's trucks not Pascal's. The trucks are cheap but the work done to them adds up. Instead of buying a cheap truck that needs everything done. Pascal and I sell cheap trucks with EVERYTHING done to them.
Let’s roll
Power-- Stroke trucks ain't cheap; right Mikey ? So use Hot Shot Secret, right Mikey ?
Wow. Very complicated
The pumps also fail because Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet bought Bosch HP pumps that were not rated for ULSD
Crack... get off it.
happening to me for several years
no mechanic or dealer can find.
@@williambeyer6876 Have your injectors been replaced or have you had any failures in the HPFP?
@@powerstrokehelp no not that I'm aware of. I'm ignorant to the diesel and I'm always worried it's just a time bomb.. your theory and findings make total sense though for my problem. it had died as if someone pulled the plug on your vacuum at home. neutral to the roadside .. sit.. restart. go. where should i start making this 2011 dealer proof? "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi.. your my only hope!"
These engines are so complicated and complex. The cost to repair them is insane. I bet over half of these on the road aren’t being used as they were designed to be used towing and hauling heavy.I’d run from this to get a new 7.3 gasser where a complete engine costs less than a DPF or a set of injectors on a 6.7.
they pretty good once you delete all of the emissions crap on them. they actuall become more reliable and get better fuel milage afterwards
Had a night mare last night that I put gasoline in my 6.7 and ran it and Blew it up woke up and said thank god that was a dream😂
If they would quit sucking farm diesel and every other source of diesel fuel out to put in the truck, and faithfully change oil, 85% of those cases would be eliminated.
Treat the truck like shit and its going to have the last say.
Arch oil really does work, I finally got two friends turned onto it. My friends 2018 Dodge Cummins bone stock was getting 10mpg now he gets 12-14 after running arch oil. It truly is good stuff and actually works! Thanks for another great video
That's horrible mpg Jesus. Fuckin dodges
Do diesel engines make great power? Sure, but they're about as simple as splitting an atom as well.
i used archoil in both fuel and oil it works great and well worth the money
I'd rather buy one of your restored 6 Liter trucks with 200K on the odometer than a 6.7
Mike sounds tired...
He is lol
can you put off road diesel into new trucks? red off road diesel lot cheaper you know
Don’t have to deal with it if you don’t buy a def diesel. 7.3 gas for the win
look at the trans cooling, its a mess.
Bill we need more videos of the military boats you bought a while back
Ford should just give up in the diesel game. The government needs to rethink this emissions bs tooo. It's stupid.
Problem is the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump is problematic. From what I have been told is ford and gm use this pump. Cummins found out it was problematic early on and changed to the CP3 pump. Ford needs to change the pump and problem solved.
100% spot on. RAM actually used the CP4 on the 2019 and a few 2020 6.7 Cummins and now after many failures are recalling those trucks and installing CP3's. Ford 6.7 Powerstrokes cannot be retrofitted the CP3 is too large and will not fit.
Just send it and buy a Cummins
