Man great video. Angles of the camera, tips while removing stuff. Not just another 30 min video. It’s long but so thorough. Great job and thank you. 🙏

This video is the best step-by-step that I’ve seen in a long time camera angles are great. Good job guy.

Videos like this are absolutely priceless. Thank you for the knowledge and time making this, helps a lot

I also have a EX with a 6.0. That's a big project without a lift, great job and great video.

This has been by far the best video that I have seen on the 6.0 power stroke removal and replacement. Great detail and extremely well put together video coverage.

I seen all 6.0 powerstroke videos and this is the best video so far

Great and timely video - doing the same procedure as we speak. Thanks a bunch.

I hope to one day reach this level of skill! Thanks for sharing your knowledge as always!

I did a build similar to yours on my 2006 crew cab. I would recommend new glow plug harness and GPCM as well with those glow plugs. Great video by the way

Seen it done with the cab off but this is a cool view. Nice job I just did my egr valve last week and sacrificed two old screw drivers, heated up the tips and bent them on an angle and slid them under each side and it worked like a charm.

not going to lie I've always wondered if this way was really possible as I don't have any reliable mechanics in Miami & wouldn't want my cab taken off. nice to see I can do it myself. solid video man !!

You deserve way more views. Awesome video. Looking forward to owning one next summer

I’m getting ready to do heads on my 05 as well very helpful video thanks !!

I am so impressed, doing such a great job and Im learning so much from you, thanks so much for sharing, I love it

Great video, first time I've seen it done. Thanks, got an 06 with 194k may be trying it myself.

Great video loving the series

Thanks for the video, will be attempting the same on a 2006 F250 in about 2 weeks.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

great video! very well done. great to see a version of pulling this motor out through the front instead of lifting the cab (which is nuts) and near impossible for DIY'ers

Thank you I find this way of easier plus with the engine out you can replace the known to leak bed plate and oil pan gasket with ease.

Best video out there! Thanks 👍

If your running an oem oil filter make sure to take the ring of death out of the top of the oil filter stand pipe... They hold down the filter bypass valve not used by the aftermarket filter companies. The reason they use the ring of death is to get the standpipe to go down when the filter is installed. A catch can wont keep your egr valve cleaner. The junk thats in it is a combination of the normal oil thats in the cac system and the soot that comes out of your egr cooler from the exhaust.. You can help gunk build on the valve by raising your cetane levels of your fuel.

Great video! Thank you!

Wow learned so much. Thanks

Brave soul doing it the old school way..

Good video man FYI I find it less stressful getting at those manifold up pipe bolts and nuts with a 1/4 impact and extentions and swivel

Great video Thanks a lot

Awesome! I have a 05 excursion too, thanks for taking the time to put this out there!

When I pulled my engine I used a heavy duty steel plate with a heavy duty eyelet welded to the steel plate which was bolted down using the turbo pedestal bolt holes. Found that to be better than using the provided hook points.

Yeah I did kinda the same thing when I installed it back in. Factory lift brackets just don’t seem very strong.

Thank you sir.

Just watched both your videos on the 6.0 pull and rebuild and it has given me the confidence to do the same to my 2006 f350 Can’t wait to see part 3 on the going back in with it Do you feel that pulling the front off the truck is about the same work as pulling the cab as I don’t have a 2 post lift but I was thinking on buying one until I watched your videos.

Thank you part 3 will be out soon just been super busy lately and haven’t gotten around to editing the rest of the videos. A lot of people say pulling the cab off is way easier but since mine is the excursion it’s not as simple. I prefer pulling the whole motor that way I can pull oil pan and lower end to replace the bed plate gaskets. Originally I was just going to do new heads with the cab on but decided to pull the whole thing since I needed to do lifters and I’m sure glad I did because not sure if you saw but one of my main bolt head had broken off and was laying in the bottom of the oil pan for who knows how long and the bolt was working it’s way loose. It’s really not as big of a job as people make it sound with a helping hand you can have the motor pulled in a couple hours.

Hey man I am taking out my engine in my 6.0 and I was just wondering where your putting all your parts like how you keep everything sorted or if you got any tips to help when I put everything back together

@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

I just kind of line them up and try to put every bolt back in the hole if possible. A lot of people just setup a separate table and line everything up.

Can you provide a link to all the parts you used/purchased? Or a list of everything

Great video. You mentioned you have a lift. Is it a body lift? I'm asking because I was wondering if the oil pan would clear without a lift. Thanks.

I have a suspension lift. You will have no problem clearing the oil pan at factory height.

Damn money bags😂 Man I wish I still had money to blow. I bought my truck and then went broke.

Im thinking about doing this work to my 04, f250. I just have some doubt as I prob have 3 months experience messing around with cars; brakes parts mainly and fuel line. Was this the first engine that you pulled ?

No I’ve pulled several engines before. If you follow along on my video I’m sure you’ll have no problems doing it yourself.

Roughly how long would u say it took you to pull the motor in real time

Still cheaper than a new vehicle. I’m trying to add upgrades to my stock 6.0 but I don’t have the 14k to drop all at once for that. Any suggestions on what to start with for reliability/500hp performance? I was thinking bigger injectors, turbo, and a tune to start? New to this upgrade stuff.

takes a shot everytime he says Ficm wrong

If it wasn’t deleted there is a higher likelihood it is the egr cooler failing and not head gaskets

Can also be a defective coolant tank or cap

OK, maybe I missed it or you didn't say: Where is the talk about pistons, piston rings, connecting rods and bearings, main bearings, cam bearings, front and rear main seals......etc. ? Your engine has 220K miles and you are pulling the engine from the truck, are you NOT going to be rebuilding the lower end ?? In my opinion that would be a HUGE mistake. If the engine has that many miles and you are pulling it from the truck, a complete rebuild (most likely involving a machine shop) would be the smart thing to do. I'm about 3/4 of the way thru all of that myself. I NEVER want to pull this engine again. If the engine is out, it would be foolish not to do a complete rebuild.

You are entitled to your own opinions. The bottom end on the 6.0 is stout from the factory and rarely has any issues in my opinion. I’ve seen plenty of 6.0’s with 400k-500k miles on the original pistons, rings, main and cam bearings. Yes mine does have higher milage but I know the history of it and how it was maintained, I’ve had it since it was almost new and it wasn’t abused like most 6.0’s that’s why I was able to get 220k out of the factory head gaskets. Before the teardown I had excellent compression and zero blow by. Talked to many shops locally and online that throw new heads, lifters, and pushrods on without touching the bottom end all the time with well over 200k on them and have zero issues. Most of my kids are grown now and driving so this is not our daily driver anymore mainly just a weekend warrior. So it will probably be another 10 years before I put another 100k miles on it. With proper maintenance I don’t see why my bottom end wouldn’t last another 200k or more. Honestly I don’t think this engine is that hard to pull with a helping hand you can have it out and on a stand in a few hours.

Love the videos, but that oil cooler is dog shit. That's the new shitty Chinese one pushed by ford. You want 3C3Z-6A642-CA

I agree as you saw in the video I wasn’t to happy about that. I called around to multiple places locally and online with that part number you provided and everyone I talked to checked to see if it was the china or USA and they were all the china ones since the new part number supersedes that part number. I think there’s a few left out there but are hard to find.
