6.0 Lifter Failing part1 

Mike, thank you for continuing on Bill's work in training all of us powerstroke owners. It ain't easy filling Bill's shoes but the more you do it, the more comfortable you will become with making videos 👍❤

Hi Mike. Diesal mechanic from Canada here. Watched you guys for years bought 6.0 because of you. I have gone through tremendous loss myself in the last year, your videos keep me alive. Glad to see you making them again. Ps you are my 6.0 hero lol.I think you are one of the most knowledgeable guys on the planet when it comes to these and I have been a tech for over 35 years. My condolences again and PLEASE keep it going. Thank you and keep on rocking in the free world God Bless.

Glad to see you keeping the channel up and going. Awesome to see you open up over the years and now making your own videos for the channel. Rest easy big bill.

Good on you for continuing to make these most helpful videos. I'm sure it's still very emotional for everyone, but I'm willing to bet that Bill would want everyone who's missing him to keep their spirits up and be as happy as possible. Wishing you all the best 🙂

I'm sure that wasn't easy to do solo the first time, Mike. Kudos for getting back into the camera/RU-vid saddle with content that would normally have included Bill too. Hang in there team PS Specialities/ PSHelp!

God bless you Mikey. Bill is proud of what you doing and how you continuing his legacy. Please dont stop and keep pushing my friend. Bill is smiling from above and proud of you and everyone involved in his legacy. God speed.

Glad to see Bills legacy continuing Mike. You have no clue how much yall have helped us out. God bless you for keeping the info going.

So glad to see some content again, and that the legacy of Bill and his vision still lives on. I'm happy you've got the torch now Mike!

Good to see you still doing the videos Mike, Bill is a tremendous loss and its great to see this channel & business live on! Keep it up, look forward to seeing more.

It’s awesome to see you keeping the channel going Mike! Bill is greatly missed especially us in the 6.0 community.

God Bless you guys. This video really means a lot to me and all your other fans. Looking forward to the follow up if the cards align and you get to open it up. Thank you Mike!!!

Happy New Year Mikey and to the whole powerstroke help/ powerstroke specialty team, I just want to say thank you very much for continuing to do these videos Mike we can see its not easy at all for you to do this but I'm sure it's exactly what the big guy upstairs wants, he's looking down and smiling on you guys and I know he'd want you to keep the powerstroke legacy going ! Keep your head up Mikey ! Your an awesome man as well as everyone else at Bill's powerstoke help !! Stay safe everyone.

Mikey its so good seeing you!!! Hope you took the reins over!! But we sure will miss Bill!!

So thankful to see this video be released after Bills passing. Mikey, he is smiling up in heaven. God bless you and Powerstroke Speciality!

Mikey I am glad you are keeping the site alive. I have an 03 6.0 excursion and I get a lot of good info from this site. Thanks again and I am sure a lot of people miss Bill.

I can see the pain is still there. Keep going Bill though a lot about you and would want you to keep it going. Enjoyed the video.

You guys keep up the great content it keeps us all going 6.0❤

I don't own a 6.0, probably never will. I learned my lesson driving others. I still watch hoping to gain something that may help someone else. Thank you for still putting out videos.

Great job Mikey! I'm so glad to see you guys are still putting out PowerStroke content. I know this is a learning curve, but If you guys need any help with video editing or anything production related, I'd be more than happy to help out any way I can.

Hey Mike! Glad to see you’re back on You Tube. Sorry about Bill but I know that he would want you to continue with his work. God bless you and the rest of the crew.

Good to see you again Mike. Hope to see a video of what you find with this engine.

Glad to see you keeping what Bill started alive God bless you Mikey & the whole staff

Thanks for keeping the channel going Mike, I love watching your diag videos, always something to take away from these.

So glad you are continuing Bills mission! I recently had to get rid of my 7.3 because of northern rust and I'm missing it! Keep going with educating people. I will always support you guys and Train A Vet.

Way to go Mike! We are just thankful you are continuing to educate us. My two cents, just be you.

Many years ago, I told Bill through RU-vid that 6.0s had lifter failures. He said that at that time, he hadn't seen that failure. I worked for Navistar. I had replaced probably 6 engines due to that failure. It was the needle bearings in the roller going bad. We summed it up to it might be more of a truck/bus issue. Now it seems to be more common.

Thanks Mike. 7.3 guy here, but I watch it all. You're no stranger to the vids! Keep on keepin' on! I'm sure Bill would be pleased!

So happy you are back doing RU-vid! Best powerstroke diesel channel ever!!! Long time viewer you guys have helped so much with my 7.3!! Boss man definitely looking down with his big smile at You and your team!!! 🙏🏻

Excellent diagnosis Mike. So glad to see new videos from you and the team there. God Bless

I can still hear Bill’s voice as you’re explaining the issues… Thanks Mike!

Super cool of you to keep posting these videos! They help more people than you might realize. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for keeping the channel going Mike!!! Thanks for all 6.0 content!! May you continue to grow and have success 😊

My old 7.3 was doing something very similar for about 9 months....intermittent compression skip. Some days it would run totally fine all day, other days it would skip at one light but not the next or on other days it would just stay skipping all day. When it was acting up, I could jump the starter and hear a very noticeable "gallop" in the cranking rhythm. When it wasn't acting up it had a very smooth and even sound when cranking it over. I put 2 cans of seafoam in a fresh oil change and left it in there for the entire 3,500mi change interval. The skip was completely gone after about 1500 miles and is still gone to this day about a year and 25,000+/- miles later. I still can't believe it!!! Never been a believer in snake oils but I had already condemned the engine in my mind and was making plans to rebuild it so I had nothing to loose if it didn't work or messed it up further. Ps....glad to see you keeping Bills legacy alive and well. I'm still heart broken over loosing him. Ive learned so much from his videos over the years!

Thank you to the entire powerstroke specialty team, and especially to you, Mike, for continuing the informative videos that we all enjoy. Best to you and the team!

Thank you Mike for continuing our education on our 6.0L's. I'm fortunate enough to live in Atlanta and greatly appreciate you guys caring for my truck so well over the past few years. Wishing you guys a great 2024!

Thanks for sharing Mikey! This willl surely help someone understand an intermittent compression/misfire issue. Good time to catch this before it needs a ton more $ thrown at it than it already does. Hope your holidays and new year were good brother! New year, new chapter! We appreciate you sharing the info! Keep em coming!

True diagnostic work is hard to find today, thanks for taking us through your problem solving.

Definitely different than your usual compression skip. Reminds me of too common 6.4 rocker/pushrod failure with an obvious skip without compression loss... Good job Mike, look forward to seeing more videos!

My first comment ever Mike. Im sorry for your loss. Please keep the videos coming. You're doing an excellent job picking up the torch....

Mike keep up the great job of diagnosis ! Hope to see a repair video . Thanks

Thanks, Mikey. Very nice seeing how you decipher exactly what was going on. Very nice!!

Calling it a skip will always remind me of Bill. Rest in peace buddy!

Sending love your way Mikey and team. I can only imagine how you guys feel after the tragic loss of Bill. Trust me when I say he’d be damn proud of all you for carrying on. Not going to lie Mike, you brought tears to my eyes in this one. One day at a time brother, all we can do.

Glad to see you are still going to be posting! I am looking forward to watching all your new content! It’s great to see you guys are still carrying the torch. Happy 2024!

Mike!! Pleasant suprise to see this on my recents I cringed a little when i heard the first skip and i asked myself, "does he cringe too OR is he just so used to hearing 6.0s like that?" Never worked on/owned a diessl yet. I fully intend to in the next 24 months. Always been a dream of mine. f you guys still sell trucks id prefer to buy kt from yall because yas are the only ones id trust. So many hours of free content on here educating us how to properly mantain these engines so we DONT need your services. A lot a business people would think, "that makes no sense!" But yall already know WHY it does. And ironically, THATS why i know exactly where to go when i do. Cant wait to get that 6.0 someday and prove what those engines were intended to be capable of and why buying a new 6.7 is stupid and why getting an armoured one from powerstrokehelp is a power move for value

We all miss you and Bill. Thank you for keeping his dream alive

Thank you Mr Mike. You made and make Bill proud. Looking forward to your continued good work.

Nice video Mike! I’m happy to see you carrying on the “What’s that sound?” Series. Looking forward to more in the future.

Mike , glad to see you putting out the videos. Keep ‘em coming!!

Great diagnostic, Mikey! We all miss Mr. Bill.

Mickey’s a true Diesel Dogg, great to see y’all keeping the vision alive. Always a pleasure to watch a master at his craft…God Bless!

thank you for keeping Bill's legacy going Mikey, best to you and the powerstroke specialty family.

I'm not a diesel tech but I know a couple of things about diesel engines but your knowledge, skill set, and professionalism is far superior than anything I've seen. An apprentice working under you would be incredibly lucky to have you teach and mold them into a knowledgeable and competent technician. I know you guys don't work on 7.3s anymore but I can't find a reputable, competent shop to diagnose my issue. If you have time, a recommendation from you would be worth its weight in gold.

Glad you got those issues addressed on the 6.0 Powerstroke engine especially the compression

Happy New year guys. Its good to see you still making the repair videos.

Thanks Mike for keeping all of us involved. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the video. Diag videos are the best as I love thinking my way through these problems as you provide the information in the videos.

glad to see you keeping the channel alive. we all miss Bill ;( im sure you will do great at this and shine ;)

Good video! The more videos you do the easier they will become. This is a Great way to honor Bill.

I don’t own a diesel but I will always watch this channel , so much has been taught to so many people through this channel. Keep ‘em comin

Good job Mike. Its nice to see you guys press forward. The more vidoes you make, the easier it will become.

Long time fan here! Been following for 6-7 years. We thank you all so much for keeping this page going. May Bill RIP a true legend.

Well done Mike. Keep up the great work. These videos will become natural for you before long

Good presentation. I have 425k on VW Jetta 5psd TDI. Your channel has taught me a lot about diesels. Bill introduced me to Archoil. Been using for 265k miles and it was the onlyproduct to clean my injectors. Best to you for 2024.

Hollering from the roof tops of Kansas. Keep it up mike!!!👍🏻👍🏻. Thank you for the video

1:30 is exactly what my truck sounds like - just bought it! Man i just finished new heads,studs etc- had no clue! guess ill be back in again and hopefully its NOT one of the back 8 lifters :( Thanks for a to the point video with perfect examples of what it should and should not do! 10s of sound is worth a million words!

Great to see you back at it. Bill is smiling for sure.

You did my 07 2 yrs ago and it runs great. Thank you and rip Bill.

Great to see you again Mike, thank you for the quick and logical walkthrough of that truck’s intermittent compression issue. Hopefully there is a part 2 so we can see what’s up with the valvetrain.
