How To Prime The High Pressure Oil System on a Powerstroke 6.0 

I fix the 6.0 it’s the only truck I specialize in and some 7.3 but mainly the 6.0 . I have been using these guys for years since day 1 for my customers and I have to tell you they are hands down one of the best ficm repair guys out there . Not only that they literally well help you u out . No high pressure sales on trying to sell u stuff u don’t need . They literally have treated me like family and are just full of knowledge on these trucks . I mean it guys an gals these guys don’t try to take your money they will literally not sale you something if they know that’s not your problem all though that has happened it they ended up being wrong lol . But it’s happened twice in 12 years . But if your looking for a ficm with there decent atlas tune on the ficm it is pretty damn good not to mention they use damn good parts and there lifetime warranty is awesome .

I never heard this before thanks I’ve always just cranked over over killing batteries on charger never did I know it could damage ficm thanks for this information

As a customer, YES, they take unbelieveable care of you!!!

The wire to engage the starter key off is on the pass side not the driver side. (Obviously he knows and miss spoke), just mentioning. Yellow with a blue stripe in a black loom.

This exactly what I needed today. After doing head gaskets and trying to start it, it would start but not keep running I'm sure do to air in hp system. Been losing sleep about this, but am going to the garage now to fix it! Biggg thanks!

Thank you very much, you helped me

This is excellent information. I've been cranking my truck wrong after working on the fuel and HPO systems the entire time!

Thank you! ❤❤❤

Thanks for this video.

Took me 4-15 second cranks to breach the 500psi mark. However I only had the driver side rail off. I deffinately heard the sound change you described.

Amazing video I’ve been wonder why my truck wouldn’t start and it sounds like I just have air in the system after my rebuild and this helps a lot thank you.

Awesome vidio!

I found a recommendation for your video on a Ford Forum. I replaced dummy plugs and stand pipes today. Had to remove oil rail on passenger side. Can’t get truck to start now. I’m hoping with these tips/procedures I can get it fired up in the morning. Thank you for this detailed video

After replacing the oil cooler, is there like a tick sound from under the hood? Is that thr hpop trying to build pressure?

First comment!

So in other words these 6.0s are garbage. If you own one, prepare to spend lots of money.
