I've seen quite a few vt365's do this.

@brainklean Wow really. I have spoken to several international techs over the years and they have said that the VT365 is somewhat more reliable in the international configuration. Have you found this to be true? What failures have you seen the most?

[brainklean]

@powerstrokehelp I've seen over a handful do this in the last couple years. Find needle bearings in the bottom of the oil pan and a piece of the roller. They usually still run to. They pop back in the intake, too. The most common failures i've seen are injecotrs, egr coolers, and injector drive modules (fuel injection control module). Its not that common of a problem compared to the other problems like you said though. I'm not sure about reliabilty versus the ford version.

@brainklean Do you see head gasket failures in the vt365 very often?

[00G000]

I always thought that every oil pump has a screen that prevents debris from entering the oil pump itself?

[powerstrokehelp]

@00G000 Yes that is true but in the 6.0 the mesh is very coarse so fine metal fragments will pass thru.

Pretty interesting video. Good to know.

[brainklean]

@brainklean No not that often at all. Every once in a while. That would be more of a ford failure.

How do I get a job at your shop? lol

@FoxRider746 Lifter failure is not common.
