6.0 dead in the hole!!

[6.0L Stroker]

Got a 06 F550 6.0 with 53xxx on it. Left our shop today it's a dump truck pulling our 20 foot box trailer with mowers started it up this morning starting idling funny and then back to normal left got about a mile down the road and lost power. No black or white smoke no warning lights nothing. Turned around and the truck wouldn't go up the hill. Stopped and then it died and would not restart. Spent $2k at ford two weeks ago for alternator trans flush and coolant flush. Never had a problem with the truck before until now.

Any codes?

sounds like you have a hpop leak at the rail plugs maybe blew a oring .

 

[6.0L Stroker]

We didnt hook it to any scan tool. But the dash shows nothing is wrong. Not check engine or anything. I was wondering maybe FICM because it had bad alternator for a while.

 

[patrickke]

Well do you have a meter to check it out?

 

[6.0L Stroker]

Well we had the truck towed to the dealer. I was just wanting some feedback from people on here. Just seems weird that ran fine yesterday then boom crappy today

did you hear it buzz up when you turn the key to on?

 

[6.0L Stroker]

Hear what buzz up? Not sure what you mean exactly.

Yeah it did that like normal

holy hell 2k for trans flush coolant flush and a alternator good lord!!!

 

[Jarrod B]

must have done the coolant flush that was more involved, oem alt, and standard trans flush.

 

[6.0L Stroker]

It was plus 2 front steer tires and a new serp belt. Kinda pricey.

Fuel pump went out...

 

[DEEZUZ]

rare... check for tank delamination.. maybe keep a fuel psi gauge on for a feww days, so if it drops off do a restriction in tank

 

[Stroker04]

He said it turned out to be a bad fuel pump on PSN. Quoted him 1k to do the job..

 

[DEEZUZ]

thats funny. the pump is $300 and it takes 15 minutes to change it....


sweet, now i can tell boss we can charge $800 for the job and still beat their price... LOL

 

[Stroker04]

Thats what I was thinking...
LOL

 

[6.0L Stroker]

Yeah idk my dads the one that talked to the dealer. Problem is it's already there and would have to be towed away and we don't have time to put a fuel pump on it. We just need it to run.

 

[DEEZUZ]

tell them to park it in the lot, change it in the lot.... HFCM doesnt even have to come off the frame, just three bolts hold the pump...

problem is making sure it doesnt happen again. so after you install new pump and and filters, take psi reading like i said
