anybody ever watch this guys videos on you tube? He seems ok alot of his stuff is just common sense stuff but thats hard to find sometimes Any how he was commenting on that it wasn't the power so much as the RPMs that was ******* the rods and that the powder metal rods were fine in normal street driving duty even above 400 hp and that all the 6.0s have the powder rods and that usually the piston is the week point

he has some valid points but the 6.0 rod is totaly different than a 7.3 rod. yes they are PMRs but are different. hard to explain without pics.. Take everthing he says w a grain of salt

increasing oil level in crankcase

Have just replaced 5 of 8 injectors. If they have leaking o-rings,will this add to the oil? will it cause severe damage if not fixed? Any helpfull suggestions?

I love this guys videos, yes, a lot of common sense stuff there, but I've definitely learned a ton of things about my truck and how to take care of it.

we have talked about him before. like changing the HPOP oil when you change the oil?

yeah that one I don't get and think hes a little on.

 

[daz]

Yeah, I don't understand that one either, I thought that new oil cycles through the engine pretty fast, but according to him it flows real slow to the HPOP.

I thought he was implying that since the oil inters the res. the deposits in the oil will settle there. That would make sense to me. Sort of like a sediment pond for an irrigation system. What I saw, he was pumping the oil out of the res, not the pump itself.

That would be fine but he states that you have to change 3 quarts one in each head and one in the res. But I was under the impression that when the oil fires the injector it is dumped back into the oil pan so after you sucked the first quart out the next 2 would actually be new clean oil from the pan not the dirty oil from the heads I think maybe on that one he had to come up with a gimmick to promote that oil stabilizer

He also said that the turbo idi is an utter piece of junk.
Some of his stuff seems pretty straight, but some things are a little off.

 

[spyder1100]

Yeah, I didn't agree with that comment at all. I like my IDI much better than my powerstroke.

 

[93turbo_animal]

I wouldn't say I like the idi better but its definately not a piece of junk
