6.0 Liter Ford Powerstroke Injector Replacement, part 2

I have had a lot of requests for how to replace fuel injectors on a 6.0lit Ford Powerstroke Diesel. This video will show the late model 6.0lit. The 03 model has a different oil rail. This video will show the removal down to removing the high pressure oil rail.

srmastertech i have a 05 f250 6.0 turbo diesel. it has a miss like it is running out of fuel between about 2300 rpm to 3000rpm. Sometimes even higher rpm. usually only while in a pull with foot in throttle. dealer sid i have 3 bad injectors. cant afford new ones. is there a way to try to clean mine before buying new ones. also i put a higher fuel pressure reg. on it. dealer recomended to do that. the one i had said 04 on side new one says 10 on side. Good or bad idea? help would be great. thanks

@Mr2008michael

Your concern does sound like an injector concern. I usually recommend that if 4 or more injectors are misfiring, replacement them all. If only 3 are failing, you could fix those 3, but other could fail, some as soon as the next cold start. Doing them all at once would be the best option. Be sure to have the fuel pressure tested as low pressure is a root cause of many injector failures.

To go along with my previous question. Is there any other service I should perform while I have the valve covers off? I bought my 2006 F350 used with 110K miles in 2008 and it nows has 124K miles.

I would be sure to test fuel pressure. Low dynamic fuel pressure is usually the root cause of why injectors failed. If your pump gelled, that could have caused the damage. But now that you are replacing all 8, its worth testing again to verify you don't take out new injectors.

Hi srmastertech, I will be replacing all eight of the injectors in my 06 F350 as the dealer mechanic diagnosed 5 of 8 as "sticking" (I believe from fuel gelling in my primary fuel filter last winter). Your videos have given me the confidence to do this myself, though I am amatuer. I will need to get some of the tools you used. Can you list the tools that you use doing this job, such as 8mm deep socket, 1/4 drive or T30, 3 inches, 3/8 drive etc? Your help is very much appreciated. Great work

[srmastertech]

@chadd01971 The common drive sockets are in deep and shallow, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm. the only bolts that use a 12mm are the valve covers. Wrenches are 11/16, 3/4.13/16. 7/8 if the fuel nut turns a 15/16. Wrenches are the same, 8mm 10mm 12mm (for valve covers) 15mm 17mm (fuel barrel nuts if they spin. I use mostly all 3/8 drive, only 1/4 drive for 8mm and 10mm. There is 2 torx bits, t40 for the injector and t30 for the oil rail. I show how you need a short t30 in the video.

@srmastertech

I assume the warranty is 5 years or 100,00 miles which ever comes first?
