Excellent post Mark...very informative.

 

Mark, you need to make the August trip to Carlise for the All Truck Nationals! I too am having to wait before I can rep you again...but you really deserve it Pal!

C'mon up to Carlisle and we'll take good care of you!

I would love to Joe! It actually might work. My son just accepted a job in Nashville, so a trip to see him would put me pretty close (compared to South TX). Thanks for the kind words. I have spent a lot of "quality" time w/ my 6.0 machine - I enjoy sharing. Save the rep points for later (I am trying to catch up w/ you!)

 

C'mon Pal...Your first (they're likda like Lay's Potato Chips...betcha can't have just one)cold frosty is on me!

Last year we talked about trying to set up a couple of simple tech sessions for the guys who show up. You'd be a natural!

Hope to see you in August!

Joe

I found this today,figured it is a good addition to this thread. It shows all the bits of a dismantled injector,wear patterns and more. 6.0L injectors

 

Hey, can you resend the spread sheets ,, can you send them again to fred.bankroll at gmail.com or krommag at yahoo.com,, or nichols123 at clearwire.net


thanks

 

Thanks for sending them I put them on my computer, just finish with them, it will be a BIG help for me to understand the engine and my truck, thanks again for your help

fred

 

Glad to do it. Get to know the Excel search feature and you can find something on just about every part of your truck.

 

Here is a good article on the 6.0L - Part 6 includes info on injectors:

TheDieselStop.Com - www.thedieselstop.com

 

From: luthrobediesel on FTE

One easy check for injector problems:

Pull the fuse cover under steering wheel with a flat blade screw driver turn the screws 1/4 of a turn. Pull fuses 20 FICM, 40 Fuel pump, and 103 PCM. You might need a fuse puller or needle nose pliers. Be sure there is fuel above the standpipe. If you want pull fuse 40 last and use the fuel pump momentarily to fill the fuel filter housing. Then have someone crank while you watch for bubbles. Do not crank on it for more than 10 seconds max. This is the easiest way to determine mechanical condition of injectors. What happens is combustion gas will come through the pintle seat and into the fuel gallery in the head and up into the filter.

i have 03 w/ 6.0 i have fuel coming out drivers side frnt header starts up fine smoked black grey but lots of diesel coming out exst port help any ideas

 

So......you removed the drivers exhaust manifold and you have lots of diesel coming out the exhaust port? I think that's what you're saying? You have a failed or improperly installed injector o-ring, cracked injector cup, or cracked head.
