Need Help In Pagosa Springs CO ASAP

Guys a good friend of mine is in Pagosa Springs CO on vacation.

he has a 2006 6.0 that has a crank no start issue and i need someone to go help him or if someone here can point him the right direction on where to find a diesel mechanic.

can anyone help??

BUMP

If he can get it here we could probably get it in for him

ive talked to JD lastnight and we found out that elite is 5 hours away. only option is to tow it there.

we are hoping someone close can come take a look and help him out where its at

is it trying to hit at all? no cold start or no hot start?

usually when a FICM or high pressure issue first rears its head, as long as he can get it to start, the truck will get him where he needs to go, just can't shut it off!

no starting at all

but its a cold start issue, truck sat all night, went out to try to start the truck the next morning and nothing at all.

51 views and no one knows of anyone in the pagosa springs area?

Tell him to plug it in for a a few hours then try, if he keeps trying it could kill the batteries.

Oil pressure??
Not that I can really help him from here, Randall.

Be faster to tow it to Elite.

I don't really approve of this but turn the key on, leave it set a couple minutes, give it a snort of ether n if it starts head to elite and don't shut it off till they get it pulled in

being towed to a local shop in pagosa as we speak, think we have nailed it down to either a FICM or a ICP issue. Im leaning towards ICP over the FICM

Although this could work, I wouldn't recommend it unless they're familiar with how to do it. Nothing worse than an engine running away, or worse, having the ether preignite from the glow plugs.

that's why you leave it set key on a few minutes to eliminate the glow plugs, I agree I don't approve of it but it does work as a last resort, doesn't take much to pop off a 6.0 just a snort

Off to a local shop in pagosa

Hope they can get him on the road so he can get his family home to Texas

did he try unplugging the ICP sensor?

Well to give you all an update. The truck made it back to Texas.

The issue and cause of all this

4 bad glow plugs. The truck wasn't equipped with a block heater until now. So once the truck was warmed up in a heated shop it fired right up and ran like normal. So it got a block heater installed and was plugged in the rest of the time it was in Colorado. I got the call this morning that they made it home safely last night and the truck did fine.

New glow plugs are going in this weekend

Thanks again to all
