    2003 f250 6.0 alternator wiring help!!!

    God is that a mess. Maybe you already have this, but it should only be two wires, I circuit to cluster for turning on determining if the diodes are working, A circuit to sense the voltage of the system and adjust current to maintain. They may have fudged around if the cluster circuit faulted...

    low oil pressure but starts and runs

    The very first thing I would do is check the turbo for play.

    low oil pressure but starts and runs

    I ignored those Mark as I didn't think they would generate in short order much material, but they are brass.

    low oil pressure but starts and runs

    The only place brass colored materials are used in the motor is bearings. All rotational, turbo, cam, and lower plating of the main and rod. I'd check turbo play but that would not cause loss of pressure. I've never disassembled an HPOP to see the material within, but checking the IPR screen...

    Oil rail bolts stripped

    Both options will increase the clamping force as the larger diameter grabs more aluminum. Bolts always grab the initial threads, in steel it's about 4, aluminum goes longer as the aluminum threads distort more. Helicoils and the other inserts of course allow you to keep the rail through holes...

    RVT between heads and rocker boxes

    It could be that the pass head was fine or passed with some machining work, but the drivers side needed replacement and I believe the only thing that's been coming through the Ford parts side has been the 20mm heads with the new hold downs.

    RVT between heads and rocker boxes

    In Diesel Tech Ron's video "Ford 6.0 Powerstroke head gaskets tips and pointers" at 7:05 he mentions that after a couple of comebacks for oil leaks between the rocker box and head he started to put RTV in addition to the OE seal to try to prevent the leaks since repairing that requires another...

    Oil cooler OEM how do you know if you have the updated version?

    I was wondering about the date code of manufacture as I noted in the above pic.

    04 6.0 Deltas GURU's

    If you have the '03 based smaller flow EGR cooler that's fine. The water pump upsized for the higher flow '04.5 EGR cooler.

    Oil cooler OEM how do you know if you have the updated version?

    For these years it doesn't show that dramatic of a change.

    Oil cooler OEM how do you know if you have the updated version?

    You guys got my curiosity up. The "handle" is actually a spring load to keep the screen body tight to the block. A 1/2" change is pretty dramatic and should have led to a change in the part number suffix. I have a 2003, 2010 and 2015 version in the house. The dimpled top is the 2003 version...

    Cam sprocket flip

    The OE cam in the Ford reman motor has some grooves I’m not thrilled with (not a cam or lifter failure) so moving to a Colt cam.

    Cam sprocket flip

    Thank you for the explanation. I was starting to look at making this more complicated, making a plate that would fit within the recess between the 8 exhaust lobe and journal so the compressive force wouldn’t go through the cam. I picked a shaft collar that will clear the cam nose during the...

    Cam sprocket flip

    So you push against the gear, not the plate .... I was going to be hyper about retaining plate engagement. Sorry for the questions, there's nothing out there on doing this gear change other than a previous mention on this site.

    Cam sprocket flip

    Thanks, I may be buying a HF 20 ton.... Close to me was a race engine shop who built up motors for people around our small local circle track. Website is still up but the building is empty. A few miles away is a PS diesel repair shop, walked in, walked out. XDP 4 miles away is hesitant to...

    Cam sprocket flip

    At my old facility I had a press and flipped bearings in knuckles occasionally, now retired, no press. And I've never had to press off/on a cam sprocket in my life. The little garage by my wife's business has done bearings in knuckles for me, but not that interested in flipping a sprocket on...

    Another piece to the lifter failure mystery

    Those flux capacitors can get you into trouble.... yes.

    Thanks, Powerlifter. Occasionally at the org, mostly FTE.

    6.0 Cracked rocker questions

    I don't think that's ever talked about, you would mind explaining? I've done it with solid lifter motors.
