the other day i was surfing the internet for info on different problems and procedures on my 94 psd and i ran across POWERSTROKEHELP.COM - The Information Source for Ford Power Stroke Diesel Owners

This is a great website and has many things on all psd's. i encourage anyone to check it out

 

Good find Pitchfork87, I think that it will reinforce what many of us have thought about "Stealerships" in the past.

This is one of the reasons that FTE is so popular as it produces reliable information from knowledgeable PSD owners and assists other PSD owners while he/she does the repairs themselves or at least arms them with the proper information to request the specific repairs be done by a shop/dealer of their choice thusly saving them hundreds or thousands of dollars in repair "Witch Hunts".

Here is another forum we started earlier about that guy and his videos/shop... he knows fords like the back of his hand

His youtube videos are amazing and contains a wealth of information

 

I initially thought this guy was pretty solid. And while he may be "pretty" solid on stock info I have found some obvious blunders. I will talk more about those later. No time now gotta get to bed. Most of it is performance related but also watch his top end oil change video. I laughed!

 

X2.
Also somewhere around the change to the 17* pump, there is a screen in the hpop res
gasket. You cannot pull much oil out of the res with the screen.
But he does have some good info on stuff.

Microsoft strikes again. One step closer to world domination through computer destruction!

 

I was going to ask you guys about the HPOP oil change. Sounded kind of over kill to me but what do you think? If you wind up in a situation where you have a truck that has not had a oil change in a long time it might be a good idea. And I think he said he will do this on trucks that come in that are long over due for a change?

 

I have to do all the work with microsoft products at my job...
Top end oil change??? huh?
he seems to know most of his stuff... but i could be wrong.

 

Looked to be more of a Prolong commerical.

Ok, now that you got some sleep in you what about the obvious blunders.

 

ya, i'd like to hear those as well. i havent watched them all.

 

He did say how important it is to have a pyro but he has his in the down pipe. I guess that would be booboo #1.

 

Well I've only watched a few of them but he starts out by saying that he's been working on Powerstrokes for 15 years. They've only been out for 14 and then he talks about $3.00 a gallon diesel so I wonder how long ago to made the claim of 15 years experience.

I like the part about the 15 quarts of bottom oil and 3 qts of top oil. And theoretically the top and bottom oil are supposed to mix but it actually doesn't.. Then he goes on to explain why he needs to remove 1 quart of oil from the hpop reservoir 3 times to get the old oil out of the injection system, yet on the 3rd cycle he only removes 1/2 a qt because the prolong comes in a 8 oz. bottle and that will make up the difference. Didn't anyone ever tell him there are 32 oz per quart.

And be carefull you dont forget to replace the hpop reservoir plug because the hpop pressurizes the oil to 3000 psi. Well yea but the reservoir only is at lube oil pressure.
