All right welcome. Everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome, so we’ve got some stuff today, um on the 60s. Everybody just doesn’t know what they’re talking about so we’re here clear stuff up and to show you guys that these things actually aren’t junk. Everybody just doesn’t know what they’re doing so.
Just got, ta keep them well maintained and you got ta, keep them monitored. You got ta, monitor them. Um. You got ta, monitor some gauges up there. We’Ll have to show you some of that.
A lot of the major problems that happen to these things are either from maintenance, stuff or little things that could have been caught before the major stuff happened. So yeah, that’s what idiots just doesn’t know what they’re doing i haven’t had any problems with this thing. Now that i say that it’s gon na blow up the next time, we start it probably, but probably not, because it’s a good good unit, it’s a very good unit um. So one thing i do is oil changes every 3000 miles and i put some oil additives in it like the hot shot secrets um this clown driving by there not be anybody hot shot secrets. Striction eliminator really helps out those injectors and cleans out the whole oil system.
Don’T mind the badges being torn off by turn. Those off you’ll you’ll you’ll see why we throw those off in the next video, but i do have some docs diesel. The diesel treatment, all-in-one performance fuel additive, this bad boy stuff here i’ve been using this and this thing gets all the fuel additives in there because you don’t always need some fuel objects. So go over to go to docks diesel. Get you some fuel additives.
Um! Don’T worry about the stocks in the bed either. Don’T worry, but don’t worry about those you’ll see about those in a little bit easier. We’Ve got so much stuff going on. It’S not even funny.
Let’S say you’re going to go pick up a 6-0 and the people. Why the hell is my hood open we didn’t shut, my hood on the other track, don’t show the other truck. They haven’t seen that yet [ Applause ] perfect now the whole rain won’t get in the motor, but you’ll see what’s going on with this thing. In the next video as well, um we’ve got 45 projects going on at the same time here all right so say you’re over here to pick up your 6-0. This is a 6-0 that’s for sale and you’re out here to look at it.
So you get up under here you’re, looking at everything, making sure the front, end’s, nice and good up under here make sure nothing’s loose over here. Pat the hood. All right. First thing you want to do, you know, checking everything, make sure. There’S not oil squirting.
All over the place, you don’t want oil all over the place. Just look it out check it out like a normal idiot um, you know, check your trans fluid smell, it make sure it don’t smell burnt. I mean these trans are pretty much bulletproof as well check. Your oil, so after you go out and drive it for about five ten minutes, get it up to temperature you’re going to want to crack this bad boy, see how that had pressure in it. We’Ve had this sitting for probably like in half an hour, so that means your head.
Gaskets are mint because they’re holding in pressure, so i’m pretty sure that’s how it works, yeah, so yeah. So if this thing is still holding pressure after 5-10 minutes, your head, gaskets are mint um i’ll even come out in the morning, and there’ll still be pressure in it um. So that’s that uh, you know check around the valley of the motor and make sure there’s no exponential ounce of oil in there all right. So another thing you want to look for is: is it bulletproof everybody’d be asked? They asked me how how do you know?
How do you know clayton if it’s bulletproof well we’re about to show you a bulletproof truck and a non-bulletproof truck, because i actually have both of them here. So what you got to do is you got to come over to you know. The driver’s side valve covers a little bit easier. You’Ll see right down there. Okay, there you go so those there, the 12 point nuts which those are head studs.
So this thing is bulletproof. That’S one thing you want to look for all right, so here’s a non-studded truck as you can see. This just got those little bolts on there. Those are just the factory head, bolts, another one right there, just little factory ones, um. If it has that and it’s they say it’s studded, it is not studded that is factory head bolts boy.
Some people are asking what is a bulletproof all right, so a bulletproofing kit is um head studs oil, cooler, head gaskets dummy plugs, injector seals, but yeah. That’S about it pretty much heads, maybe if you need heads uh, yeah, that’s about it for uh the bulletproof, so here’s some things that some mods that are a must on these bad boys and one of them is this coolant filter. You must have a coolant filter if you don’t get one oil filter cap make sure it’s not the big tall. 10 gallon 5 gallon bucket five gallon bucket cowboy hat type of deal here. Um.
You want this nice short little boy on here, because that’s the factory. You must have the factory oil cap, or else it’s not oil’s gon na pass right by that filter like it’s, not even there, because that oil filter cap doesn’t pushing it down all the way one. I got a billet one because those plastic ones like the band and they leak oil all over the place. So get you a nice billet one change your fuel filters idiots. I change mine whenever i feel like it’s good time to change the filters.
I don’t know like six thousand miles or something i don’t know. I don’t know just change them when you feel like it, but not like every hundred thousand miles just like every 10k or something like that. There is two fuel filters on this boy, one on the frame: rail, the passengers or the there’s one on the driver’s side frame, rail and then there’s one right here next to the oil cap or the oil filter. Right here is your fuel filter. There’S two all right: don’t forget, there’s two and then the blue spring kit.
This little fuel regulator right here on the side of the fuel bowl that spring goes bad in there and it doesn’t give it enough pressure to the injectors. So uh get a blue spring kit put that on there the stronger spring and then you’ll have mint injectors for the rest of your life. Probably it’s just tiny little things all that added up to, like maybe 200 bucks, all those little things you save your injectors head, gaskets all that bull crap, all right! Oh my gosh! You have to be up my nose.
Yes, back up got my sct x4 up in here, and these are all the gauges i’m running, because you always got ta monitor the gauges on the old 6os here, because it’s that’s how you spot some of the problems before they start to get out of hand. So i like to minor the coolant and the oil temp here boys get her up to temperature. Um should be about 180, and if these boys here are about 15 degrees difference, so if one’s at like 180 and the other is at like 200, you probably need an oil cooler. It probably needs an oil cooler if you’re going out to look at one that needs probably it needs an oil cooler if it’s 15 degrees off um. I also like to monitor the trans temp as well, should not really see over 160 at all injector control pressure.
Mine’S at like 240 just sitting right here, um you want that that has to be at 500 while cranking it or it will not start. I watch my battery voltage just to make sure, because if the ficm doesn’t get enough voltage you’re going to have a problem, i like to watch my fiction voltage here, because if that gets below like 47, that victim is junk. Pretty much you’ll want to look into getting a new one, because if that gets low voltage, then the injectors get low voltage and then you’ve got injector problems. So that’s the main reason why everybody has injected problems, because you know they just don’t monitor stuff like this, and i mean i do like these things as well, because you can look up all the codes and stuff, even if the check engine light on just some Little code that pops up, oh you got to change this tiny little sensor and you’ll be golden, but people just keep on driving it. They don’t even notice because the check engine lights on or they don’t check this and failures right there and then every time you switch a tune on your 6-0.
You want to make sure you do a cam reset and i’m going to show you how to do that right now. Every time you switch a tune, make sure to do a cam reset before we drive it. Just resets the timing and everything how to do the cam reset you go into here to vehicle functions, special functions, key on and then press the cam reset. After every time you put load a new tune onto it. You’Re gon na make me pay taxes.
I’M gon na do what the hell i want to my truck, oh all, right so we’re inside now, because it’s um well, let me show you yeah, there’s like 80 inches of snow outside, so i decided to come in and finish the rest of this video. A couple questions are: what is an f icm? Well, the ficm them whatever you want to call. It is the fuel injection control module and that sends the voltage and tells the injectors when to fire. So if that thing’s not getting enough voltage, then you have some problems with injectors and stuff all right.
So some people ask what a hot nose start is and it’s very common on the 6os. It is um when it just cranks and doesn’t start, which is most likely a high pressure oil pump leak or something usually on the 0.5 to 07’s trucks. It’S usually dummy plugs or something stupid um, usually not the high pressure oil pump, but on the 03’s, but usually on the 03s and 04s. It’S usually a high pressure oil pump um on the o6s.
I know they have a sct fitting or something stupid, backed by the high pressure oil pump. That gets clogged or something i don’t know um. I haven’t i’ve, never really experienced it on those sixes, but i had a buddy that had the hot hot no start and he changed that fitting and it fired right up so and – and it could be even your icp sensor – this make sure the screen’s not broken Or anything on that as well, so a hot no start is is when the motor is warm and the oil is all warm and it just cranks because you’re not able to build up that um oil pressure to fire the injectors you have to have 500 psi In order and fire them boys, so when you have a leak or something you’re going to be able to get 500 psi yeah, but the reason why it starts cold is because the oil is thicker and you’re able to build more pressure when it’s thicker. But when it’s thinner, when it’s warm um you’re not going to build as much pressure because the oil is thinner, i think that’s all we have for today. Actually, i think we went over everything if i missed anything, let me know down in the comments.
Let me know if you have any questions. Let me know if i should do a part two of like questions about six. Those. If you all got questions, let me know and i’ll make a video on answering most of them, um so yeah. Hopefully you enjoyed it.
Hopefully cleared up some stuff on it um, hopefully it helped you in the future. If you have those problems or if you’re going to look at a 6-0, you know what to look for just make sure the coolant, don’t look like a milkshake or it smells like fuel, and you should be good. We’Ll see you all in the white 6o in about two days,
