6 bolts, 3 hoses and out comes the battery box and radiator overflow reservoir for large handed people like me. The plus is a clear sight of that Exhaust Backpressure Sensor that tube that will make you spend a fortune figuring out your 6.4's loss of power.
followed your instructions to the letter and not only did I accomplish it, you helped me save almost $500 by doing it myself! Thank you so much for your video
Wow, you have some serious patience to accomplish that task. I would have used my entire vocabulary of filthy words, threw a tantrum on the floor, broke out the roll away and threw every tool I owned at that truck. Makes me wonder when I will have to face this. Sure love the instant power of these motors though.
As Andrew stated, the motors aren't junk by any stretch of the imagination. The 3 things that will indeed kill these things in a hurry are..... Lack of maintenance Emissions Throwing a 300hp tune on with no supporting mods and driving it like a 16 year old kid in a honda civic with a wing and 12 inch fart pipe. Emissions gots to go..... IMMEDIATELY Maintenance (mainly fuel) will save you $10k+ catastrophe I'll take a K16 pump over a CP4 any day of the week though. Run a good fuel additive as well. I've not had a failure with either of my K16's running motorcraft, and I run hotshots secret EDT when I can pick it up on sale. Oil changes are important, especially with emissions on. I barely trust 5k mile intervals using Rotella TY with the emissions still live. I change mine at 5k religiously without emissions. Blackstone reports I've done show I can go well past 10k, but I have trust issues. Anyhow, I still enjoy my 6.4's over 10 years later. Delete, Monitor, Maintain, and be realistic on the tuning and driving style. While I say that...... I don't mean baby it and use it to grocery get and back. That's not good on any modern diesel either. Anyhow..... Didn't mean to type so much...... Y'all take care 👍
I’ve got an 08 6.4 the green wrench will come on on long highway trips the go off when truck cools. I can’t get a code off of it. I know for sure my Tstat is stuck open. My deltas at 70 mph for an hour or so are averaging 18-20 with no green wrench. Oil cooler changeout? Like I said no codes and don’t take any long trips just around town to work and back mostly. Thanks in advance!
Great video. I have a 08 550 with the 6.4. My temperature gauge barely moves if any during normal driving. Hook the dump trailer up and pull a load and it’ll move up a little bit. No lights on. Could this be the thermostat or what’s your opinion? Thank you.
Thx for this video...almost had it in but after inserting and removing multiple times trying to get the flange and thermostat housing bolt "half holes" to line up, the flange is now firmly cockeyed onto the housing and won't go either way. I am so angry I am not sure I could ever purchase a Ford product again. Proceeding to remove the EGR cooler now...and of course it has some kind of bizzare bolt on in. Engineers at Ford are sadists. Screw them.
So upper radiator hose is hot and the bottom radiator hose is cold, top end of the motors been rebuilt along with new radiator, water pump, and clutch fan but still having an overheating issue with my ‘08 6.4 with 110k miles on it, could there be an air pocket somewhere and is there a coolant drain plug to see about purging the air out of the cooling system?
just watching you do this hurt my back an got me frustrated! why does it have to be this dang hard! ugh!!!!!!!! ty but imma see how much they charge lol
P0128 code has never caused limp mode in my experience. It could be a compound of issues however. Trans Temp on the other hand, will throw it into limp and keep the truck from shifting out of 3rd. They're notorious for it. Did you have it scanned and figure it out?
If the coolers and egr aren't present..... The job becomes roughly 300% easier. The Truck will thank it's owner as well..... no longer will it have to re-breathe it's own farts. (In layman's terms) Just throwing that out there. 🤣 Is that considered cheating/hacking? Guilty I suppose. It's a tedious process for sure with emissions on. I think they simply Crammed everything they could think of, whether necessary or not, into that compartment. It was the successful transition into non DIY friendly. Lol! I digress.... Take care y'all
Amazing work!! Amazing quality!! Thank you so much. You just saved me $400 on labor. I wanna change my radiator too, do you have any videos for that? Thanks
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod good afternoon. My 6.4l f550 is overheating only when driving. Idling it runs cool. Never overheats. I changed both thermostats bc coolant is not circulating. After replacing them im still having the same issue. Coolant hoses are under pressure but still no circulation of coolant. Fan clutch seems to be working just fine. Any ideas of what else it could be?
2010 over heated on beach 4x4 low did fine all the way home 3 hours, both coolant and oil hit 270, fully deleted truck never had this problembefore, fan runs when I start truck somebody said Dan clutch but it seems fine? Any ideas ?
