SO. I am currently trying to diag a manual 03 6.0 at work right now and am at a small loss of what to do next. Truck sounds like its trying to come apart when under no boost, but when boost comes in it sounds like your standard 6.0. Hpop, all the hp oil lines , ipr, icp, and oil rails were...

Its fine. Easiest way to check base engine oil pressure is to remove the oil filter cap and filter, use a long screw driver to press the BLACK not BRONZE spring loaded plug down and have someone turn over the engine while you hold that plug down. The oil filter housing should be a minimum half...

Low coolant, fan not engaging, water pump shot, oil cooler clogged. Could be a number of things. I would pull codes on the truck and see if you have any soft codes.

Wanted to update this. Got the oil cooler out of the truck Saturday and cut it open with a band saw. Definantly what my issue was. I swapped out t stat for a new one and switched over to red elc. Putting the coolant filter on the truck today. But my deltas are easily 15 to 20 degrees cooler...

Did you receive it

Pm me.

You have a pm

The stand pipes can still be 10 mm and the dummy plug be a 12mm. Nothing else serious as far as mechanical. Minor right side valve cover leak. I wouldn't be running atf in my oil on a 6.0 . I would be running archoil or some other proven oil enhancer. Just my 2 cents.

What do you need to know. The HPOP, ipr and icp were replaced at 60229 miles and again at 82969. Dummy plug under right valve cover at 80430. Ficm half shell was replaced at 93447. Dummy plug on left side replaced at 91892. 4.88 rear gears Oh and turbo cleaned at 60k ish miles. It also has the...

Ipr could mess with the truck whether it's hot or cold. Did you check the icp connector like Luke said?

Your icp at idle is way high. 6.0 needs about 450 to 500 to start and most I see run anywhere from 550 to 650 at idle. My bet would be a bad ipr. Pull the ipr and check the screen. Ids/scan tools can show ipr to be good, and they aren't. I had a 4.5L powerstroke in today that was doing the same...

Geezus man.. after reading all that, and now your mechanic quit you just have really bad luck or poor choice of choosing who to trust. . But I do hope everything works out for you in the end.

Same here. No one from my neck of the woods is on here, so advice is hard to find. I'm putting a oil cooler and a t Stat in this weekend, also I bit the bullet last night and got some warren 175/30 inj. I want to put a 6.4 lpfp on my truck to help the 6.0 pump with the volume issues. Going to be...

CTC are you a tech?

Well I guess there is something wrong then. Going to put an oil cooler and T Stat in when I have time this weekend. Going to swap to ultra elc also, also how do you run under 190 with no fan?:confused:
