Nope its reading 25k while cranking.

spoke with the tech and he said its not the HPFP as it is putting out 25,000psi (max pressure while cranking). That's got to be a bad fuel rail pressure sensor, right?

Well the stealership wants me to put my DPF back on so they can check codes. The kicker is they want $700 just to slap my DPF on.

Thanks for the help.

Checked the pressure and its saying Im getting between 2.5-3 psi while the pump is on. Also I rescanned for the hell of it and its coming back with a P1260. Do you think this could be what caused it to just die while going down the freeway? Does this mean it has to be towed to the...

Yep 6.4, I did the filters about 5 months ago. Never had a reason to try this before but currently with the water step drain open and the pump running nothing comes out, however as soon as the pump stops cycling fuel starts to run out of the nipple.

Forgot to mention its got about 140k on it and has been the most trouble free truck Ive owned thus for. Last year it made two trips from San Diego to New York hauling a load without so much as a hiccup. Its gets new oil every 3-5k and new fuel filters every other oil change.

Driving home from the motocross track today and was less than 1 mile from the house when the thing just started to die. The only code on the minimax was the P0231 (cleared it, it never came back). Reset the inertia switch on the side of passenger glove box and and it turns but no start. I...

Holy chit, a guy with a 6.0 is scared of reliability issues of a 6.4? :doh: Its the 6.0 that made me get a 6.4. The OP wants to do preventative maintenance, but if your gonna double a trucks HP with minimal mods (300hp+ tunes) you should probably expect the break some stuff.

Well if it is not a cracked piston I recommend a change in the thread title. As I would not want to advertise the fact that I claimed to have nuked a motor and here all it was I overfilled my truck with oil. As a matter of fact "I overfilled my truck with oil" is my suggestion for the thread...

Theres always gonna be something better, its much better to want what you have instead of always trying to get yourself in debt with the latest and greatest. Besides these trucks do exactly the same thing, your in fact opting for a slightly less powerful potential engine.

Post up a vid

I notice that higher RPM causes increases an increase in oil temps as well, perhaps indicating additional stress on oil at anything above 2,000 rpm

I noticed going through Arizona that the oil temps are much more reactive than my coolant temps. I don't know how a truck could be harder on its iol than a 7.3 (since it basically uses the oil as hydraulic fluid as well as a lubricant). What is the highest oil temp you've seen on the 6.4?

Did they crawl under and look for a DPF? Or is just a stock tailpipe sufficient?
