    Differences between 03 and 04?????

    Turbo not cycling and making odd noises during boost can be a number of things. Do you have a scanner to get us some sensor values? On 03 ECMs you have to have a number of signals in range and allow the truck to idle at full temp to allow the VGT learn cycle to complete. Until that happens...

    06' 6.0 Oil Cooler

    Agreed. Also have the shop perform some cooling system flushes prior to replacing the oil cooler. Get the system as clean as you can. Then replace the cooler and flush again until clean. I know it sounds like overkill. But, this has become my normal process for oil cooler jobs and I have had...

    6.0 possible injector issues

    I know I sound like a very broken record when I say this.... You know it’s coming...... We know you have a tablet and a dongle. Get us some readings. Doesn’t take long and may save a boat load of looking around and wiggling wires. May not. But the best part is that you can do it no matter...

    Possible 05 6.0 purchase need advice

    Yup. I do that too. I just don’t tell people to do it because some guys will burn themselves and I don’t want to get blamed because the guy wasn’t wearing his “I’m a danger to myself sign” when I gave the advice. Lol. Another thing I do is bleed the pressure. Then fill the resovour almost all...

    6.0 possible injector issues

    Did you break the small nipple on the drivers side? If so, you can probably find a piece in the help section at your local auto parts that’s the right shape/size. Just trim the length and epoxy it on. Give it time to cure before you attach anything of fill it.

    Possible 05 6.0 purchase need advice

    Off the top of my head, there isn't anything on an 05 that I'd be wary of (not anymore than any 6.0). I do highly recommend you hook up a scanner and look at a few data points. Check it KOEO and then cranking, both cold and hot. While at full temp, run it down the road hard. Check EOT/ECT...

    Possible 05 6.0 purchase need advice

    When I look at a 6.0 I do a few things. I plug in with a scanner and look at a bunch of sensors and data. Just like I were doing a running issue diagnostic. A power balance test is nice if you have the hardware/software for it. I also look to see how many run cycles since codes were last...

    Differences between 03 and 04?????

    While you have it apart, I would swap sensors and move it. It’s just a little work. But it’s not any more work than replacing an 03 icp sensor and pigtail down the road if you have a failure. Be sure to check your icp KOEO before you button everything up. They are a pain to do with...

    Agreed on the stc, dummy plugs, and stand pipes. I keep a whole set of that stuff in my inventory at all times.

    Differences between 03 and 04?????

    I believe you could use your harness. Just remove the icp from its location in the harness and extend the wiring to reach the passenger valve cover. I have done them with new harnesses because most of the time the 03 harness has already been molested a bunch or has a few chafed spots. So rather...

    Can you get us a picture of the HPOP and cover?

    Differences between 03 and 04?????

    And now that I think about it, 04.5 was even more weird. Some had the 03-04 HPOP with a different cover and the icp, rail, and standpipes like an 05. Their were a few odd balls.

    Differences between 03 and 04?????

    2003-2004(early) are one version. 2004.5-2007 are another version. 2003-2006(early) use 18mm dowels to locate the head to the block. 2006.5-2007 use 20mm dowels. 20mm dowel heads can be used on 18mm blocks with 20-18mm stepped dowels. And some other stuff. As frustrated as you are. The...

    I literally PM’d you at the same time you posted. Just pure coincidence. I shot you another PM. My cell number is in there if you start messing with it and need to reach out.

    Talk about timing! I just sent @83ford a pm. As soon as I hit send and my screen refreshed, he had posted here. Ha ha. Hopefully they get the harness put on soon. It’s not a bad job at all. Depending on which version that company used to copy, it may have to be routed slightly differently than...

    I gotcha. I didn’t realize you physically took the truck to fleece. They can right you a multi position tune and then flash it in.

    6.0 possible injector issues

    Odd I replied to this thread yesterday. But it isn’t showing on my end. Have you had a chance to load test the batteries? Did you install your new harness?

    6.0 possible injector issues

    Make sure you disconnect the batteries. That way you can isolate them and load test them individually rather than as a system. If one is bad and one is good, then it may not fail a load test if they are wired together. Also if you replace one, it’s advised to replace the other.

    6.0 possible injector issues

    Keep in mind you’re asking the FICM to take the incoming voltage and push it up to 48v. Starting with lower than normal voltage, the FICM has to work harder to make the numbers.
