6-4 troubles.

How are yas? What's your guys opinions on this. I was about 60-70% throttle an pop an a miss. Pulled a bunch of codes on #6 P0278 P0306 P0671 P0673
U3f06. Trucks got 110,000 km. never pukes any coolant or anything. When i start it I get this lovely mixture coming out of the glow plug harness ports on the valve cover and it's pushed the harnesses out. Would you guys think injector hold down? Fingers crossed lol.

Piston!.

I don't know what those codes are off the top of my head. but I'd say piston. pull your oil fill cap or dipstick and check for blow by. when I cracked a piston I blew my glowplug harness out and started leaking our the valve cover. don't drive it or idle for long. jmo


Sent looking at my blown up 6.4

Thats not just oil right? What is the clear liquid is it coolant or fuel?

 

[Dzchey21]

the codes are contribution, missfire, and two glow plug codes, my best guess is a piston

 

[89xj]

The clear liquid is fuel. Piston was my second guess. Thats why i was figers crossed for a hold down. They're is ALOT of blowby. But it's a lot of fuel mixed in with the oil an the thought maybe injector hold down broke. An it broke the fuel line to the injector. Hence the copious amount of diesel in the oil.

 

[powerstrokin15]

well if there's blowby you have a piston cracked... cross your fingers that the cylinder walls aren't damaged.

Better start hunting for a block.

I bet it has something to do with the tire poping burnout. Most likely a piston melted or cracked. Do a comp test and you will know for sure. Good luck.

That was back in may. This is now. Gonna look into it tomorrow or whenever the weather warms up some

I'm with everyone else on the piston... Is it ironic you posted this 3-4 hours after the thread bringing up your 14 minutes of beating the ***k out of your truck? LOL... But really, hopefully damage is minimal (well as minimal as can be).

 

[one2nine]

definitely sounds like a piston if you're getting as large of a blow by as you say...

If that was back in may how was the truck driven for the months inbetween? If you said anything other than "beaten on a daily basis" I'd probably have to say you were lying.

whenever that video was made, i highly doubt that you haven't done anything else like that since.

with that being said. may the consequences of a very high dollar repair be with you.

you pistol whip the *** out of your pickup,and then cross your fingers for a cheap fix. lol. people never cease to amaze me.
