agreed, the labor alone to fix it would cost way more than that.

 

Alright, well I just looked at the aftermarket warranty I have on it and fuel system stuff is NOT covered. If I would have bought the next step up, it would have been. So I guess I'll do that test on the FICM and see what I get with that. Does the FICM make any sounds when your driving when it is about to go bad by any chance? Just been hearing a noise from the motor area when driving but can't find it.

 

Are you over 100k miles? You should still be under factory warranty. Not to mention, this isn't a fuel system issue... it's an engine issue, it's the HPOP, buried in the back of the motor and pumps oil. It would be covered.

 

Go trade in for a 7.3 and it should fix that problem right away.

 

Thanks for that really helpful post. 7.3's never have any problems, that's right. There are stock HPOP's supporting over 1000 rwhp on 6.0's, how many 7.3's have done that?

 

oil pump isnt gonna matter when your injector O rings chip and start causing fuel leaks like every other 6.0 that comes into my shop.

 

Ok well that's a completely separate issue, and not common. I've seen plenty of butchered work on 6.0's that someone thought they could fix, and soon realized they couldn't, which could also be what you're seeing. If you work at a shop, you deal with others problems all day, every day, so this isn't surprising. Failing o-rings on a 6.0 isn't all that common. It wouldn't be any different than a 7.3, since they use the same setup...

My whole point was, if you have nothing useful or helpful to add to this conversation and the OP isn't getting any good info, then there is no need to post.


Just out of sheer curiosity... what on earth would cause an o-ring to "chip".... patiently awaiting this answer.

 

break, snap, you know what I mean. And I was just joking with the guy. I own a 6.0 myself too. But I prefer my 7.3

 

In 10 years working on these trucks I have never seen an O ring break, snap, chip or otherwise do anything other then wear down over time and leak...

But correct, bad O rings can cause a hard start issue.

 

Agreed.


I still haven't seen any break or snap, and don't understand how it could without an assembly/disassembly error. Joking is ok, we like to keep it light around here, but at least offer something useful if you're going to break the guys ***** too. Ok, it was a joke, lets just move on.
