Buddy broke down, what should I take to check no start.

Mtack · Nov 7, 2011

I just got a call from a friend and his stock 03 6.0 just broke down. I am going to go check it out tomorrow and was wondering what I should take with me. I have Autoenginuity so I am taking it and my laptop. Anything else? He said he was driving down the road and it just died. It still cranks over but doesn`t even try to start.

I have about any tool I would ever need, I just don`t have much experience with the 6.0s.

Volt meter to check FICM voltage.. Possible issue could be a bad fuel pump, IPR could also be bad..

:whs: You can take the cover off of the FICM I believe it is 2 t20 torx screws. Check the voltage at the bottom screw head should be at least 48 volts. When mine went out it set voltage faults for all the injectors.

Exactly the kind of info I was looking for guys! He rented a hotel room and left the truck beside the road so I wanted to make sure I at least had some ideas.

With they way things have been going it might not have been a good idea to leave it on the side of the road. Hope not but just saying.

At this point I think he would love to find out it was stolen overnight. It has been a problem child and just had a motor put in about 6 months ago. Our conversation started out with him trying to trade me for my 7.3.
