    Question Fuel injector electrical plug availability?

    Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to buy just the electrical plug (or pig tail, if you will), for injectors, that connect to the injector harness? My injectors work fine, but a couple have broken plastic bits on the plug as to where the clip has nothing to grab on one side; and once...

    photos Eww that can't be good

    I knew I should have deleted the thing entirely while I was replacing the HPOP. The exhaust end is pluged and welded (by a previous owner) and the EGR valve was left disconnected by me. I guess it is a good thing I left the EGR valve unhooked and decided to do a random check on that POS...

    Removing turbo vanes

    Hey all. I am in need of some quick guidance. Something is wrong with my turbo. It will not spool up (well, you can not hear it spool up or down anymore). You can spin the compressor by hand; there is no extra drag. Compressor and turbine can not contact the housings. Vanes are not siezed...

    Question early vs. late injectors, can you mix?

    I have been serching for various things tonight, and came across the following site and page 6.0L Powerstroke Injectors . Basically, they claim that an injector with white plastic is an early version, and an injector with black plastic is a late version. I have a mixture of both black and...

    Question technical: HP oil rail

    Anybody know if the high pressure oil rails have any rubber orings in them? Other than the ones on the plugs that can be removed. I 'cleaned' mine out, and now there seems (to me) to be too much play between the rails and the fittings (nipples if you will) that go into the injectors. Anybody...

    Question New take on EGR cooler delete

    I have an idea, and would like you guys to pickit apart and find any problems you think it may have. EGR cooler delete: different design. Why not block the coolant from even going through the intake? It does not need to, and that is not the only path the coolant takes. It will increase...

    Question Test for good/bad HPOP?

    Well, the dealer claimed that the HPOP needed replaced as does one injector. So I pulled out the pump, but I do not see anything physically wrong with it. Is there any tests that can be done (out of engine) to determine if it is building enough pressure or not? I personally feel that the pump...

    Question Cab height for removal

    How high does the cab need to go in order to clear everything for removal. Looking for a distance in feet, if somebody has measured it before. Reason I ask is that I want to pull the cab to do some engine repairs and do not have access to a hydraulic lift. So I will have to build a crane...

    Help Needed HPOP pressure (dealer vs autoenginuity)

    Hey all. I admitted defeat and hauled the SD into the dealer for diagnosis. Truck is a crank-no-start. They called and said, as of right now, there is one bad injector and the HPOP is not building enough pressure to start engine. I used Autoenginuity's scan tool, and the ICP read 550PSI...

    'Stalk' in fuel bowl?

    Hey all, I was wondering if someone has a picture, or can point me to where one is, of the black 'stalk' that the fuel filter sits on in the fuel bowl. Whilst changing my filters the other day, I noticed some jagged edges on the top of it where it looks like it has been broken. So I would...

    Question Ranges for scan tool data values?

    OK, I need some guidance here. Mid Jan, I purchased Autoenginuity's scan tool with the Ford bundle from ITP. I have played around with it a bit to see how it works and whatnot; but now I have come across a problem. I do not know what each sensor 'should' be reporting. Is there such a list...

    Howdy all. I need some help/input. This is the first diesel that I have owned and maintained myself. Grew up on a farm, so I have been exposed to diesels, but never got to wrench on them other than holding a wrench for someone else. We never had anything with this many electronics either. I am...

    Question acending/decending post date

    Ok, maybe I have missed the option selection somewhere, but is there a reason that all the threads have the oldest post last (i.e. the thread starter is the last post on the last page of the thread). I understand the cronological decending aspect of that, but all the other forums I visit have...
