    More 2003 6.0L cold starting problems!!

    So, my 03 6.0L F-250 has been having starting issues ever since it started to dip into the 30-40 degree range at night this year. A few weeks ago it wouldn’t start at all and I took it to the dealer. At first they thought it might be a battery issue, but it turned out the batteries were fine...

    6.0L crank and no start!!! HELP PLEASE

    The batteries where cranking at a very low voltage for starters, cranking at 8 volts the report says. The dealer recharged them, ran their tests, and let the truck sit over night. They also reprogrammed the PCM, TCM, and FICM to the lastest level for updated cold start strategy. They started it...

    Oil Sending Unit

    Are you taking about the High Pressure Oil Pump? Thats located on the rear of the engine behind the turbo on top of the engine valley if thats what your refering too. You cant really see it, much less work on it unless you pull the cab of the truck. The 6.0L's jammed in there good which is very...

    HELP

    I would say so, but it did puff white smoke at start up for a few seconds when it was bone stock. Unless it had been driven for a while that day it did always puff white smoke. It was very little and only for a second or two, but it was their.

    HELP

    That good, friends who are proffesional diesel mechs. must be a god send;Sweet EGR isnt neccesary unless you plan of making big power, but it does help with full mileage and keeping the heat out of where you dont want it (coolant, rest of engine). Plus I like the peace of mined. It can be...

    egr

    Ya defininetly ditch the EGR! Its a plague on diesels. It throw way to much heat in the coolant and subsiquently the rest of the engine, which can blow head gaskets after the head studs fail.

    How bad will gas hurt a 6.0?

    Anyone who tells you gas in a diesel is a f**king moron! You need to drain the tank, and get new fuel lines, but its probably to late. ANY GAS NO MATTER HOW LITTLE will F**K UP a 6.0L to know end. It will ruin the injectors. 6.0L are very sensitive to fuel quality. Its not a LDT465 Multifueler...

    HELP

    Possible problem and fix Its probably a head gasket blow or stuck EGR valve. The OE head studs will fail, not if, when! EGR valves also become stuck or clogged and with cause the engine to puck smoke at any load. Also, having a dealer you trust is key. Their are Ford dealers that will try to...

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    Ya thats what I figured, an MBRP dealer would probably put it on without the muffler right? Im guessing yes.

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    Also, does the 5" turbo back from MBRP come with a muffler? Can you get the same kit without the muffler?

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    Haha. Ya thats true! When ever I drive by another vehicle or building/structure I think another diesel trucks going by me because the sound bouncing off is so damn LOUD:thumbsup:! Thats okay with me though, the louder the better in my opinion;Sweet;Sweet. Why is the 03 so much louder? I drive...

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    Ya thats what ive heard from people and see in videos. Right now I can hear the turbo spool in cab pretty well, but the exhaust note is piss poor for the most part. Im leaning towards a 5" turbo back from MBRP for about $700 right now. What do you guys think about tips? Tip or no tip?

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    I should have been more clear. Im willing and plan to spend some money hear (about $700-1000ish). I want a full on straight pipe, no muffler, no cat, from the turbo back.

    getting rid of pos6.0

    What do you think off the tuners that specialize with the PSD? Like the SCT from Elite Diesel Engineering? I would only add a tuner once I added an intake, exhaust, 1 micron oil bypass filter (I run full synthetic diesel specific oil), Coolant filter, H-11 head studs, FULL-ON EGR delete kit...

    getting rid of pos6.0

    I love my 6.0L, but I have heard more than a few horror stories about them. I think all those stories helped me, because I monitor my engine like a hawk now.

    getting rid of pos6.0

    Ya your right they could have done a lot better job with the engine. They (IH/Ford) rushed the 6.0L into production to compete with the new Cummins and Duramax, which didnt work out great. I dont know about you, but my 03 F-250 6.0L truck has 101K on it and I NEVER had a big problem with it...

    getting rid of pos6.0

    You can mod 6.0L's, but you have to be very careful about how you do it. Their are a handful of 6.0L trucks featured in Diesel Power mag that have 600+ horsepower and 1000+ lb-ft of torque that run great! Elite Diesel Engineering has a build a bunch of high power 6.0Ls that work great. You just...

    6.0L in cab coolant smell

    Hey, I did what you said for the doors locks and everything is working just fine now. I also took most of the black wrap off the turbo to intercooler pipe (some I couldnt get off due to some type of glue and space constrants). I took the truck for a drive for about a 30mins and hammered it a...

    6.0L Straight pipe, what sounds best?

    I want to straight pipe my new 2003 Ford F-250 6.0L PSD and was wondering what was the best sounding, best deal, and best durability exhaust system out their. What sounds better 4" turbo back duals or a 5" turbo back single? What company has the best stuff? I was thinking MBRP. What do you guys...

    6.0L in cab coolant smell

    Ya, I'll probably just remove the wrap (its nasty). I havent been doing anything different then usually with the truck. I did just buy it used from a dealer, about a month ago. They did a 150 point inspection and said it was okay. I did get a three month or 3000 mile warranty on the drivetrain...

    6.0L in cab coolant smell

    Thats good news about the AC hiss which is normal from what I gather:thumbsup: (it has been in the high 80's temp wise lately in MI). I ran the head gasket leak test and it came back negative from what the Powerstrokehelp.com guy said. Trucks been running fine and I havent smelled the coolant...
