No power after head replacement
2004 6.0l 4x4
Just got done replacing the heads and fixing a few oil leaks. Pulled the engine out and did everything myself.
Went to test drive and it won't get out of it's own way. It feels good just off idle but after that nothing.
Is it possiable to have switched the feed and return fuel lines before they go into the hard stainless steel lines going up to the 2nd fuel filter? Seems like a fuel issue maybe

I guess i should also add that i have a egr delete, arp head studs and FICM was replaced a few months ago. also this took me about a month to do so the batteries were out of the truck for a month and had to be recharged to start it.

Glad you found it. I love my motor now. We forgot to unhook the MAP sensor when pulling the motor so broke the nipple off. Had to get a new one. Enjoy
