Ron you are very much missed, you are a special person when you were here. I hope God has you in his hand and give you peace and love. Miss you Bud.

Ron always learned from your videos. You were a big help with a lot of my early 6.0 problems. Thank you and RIP.

Ron is still fixing trucks out here in Mexico!! We miss u Ron- descansa en paz

Nice videos Ron! I feel as if I work on my own trucks its like paying my self $85-$125 per hour. I don't understand how people can afford NOT to work on there own stuff. Keep up the good work!

Didn't find Ron's videos until after his passing. So thankful for him teaching me about my turbo!

Thank you Ron, rest in peace man I don't know where I'd be without these videos.

Gone but not forgotten. Thanks for all you did Ron.

Thank you Ron. You have helped thousands of people save money and be grease monkeys on the weekend.

You sir are a legend and grateful for your contribution to your local community #rip #thankyou #dieseltechron

Great video Ron. This will help me out. We work on quite a few Power strokes at the shop I work at. Thanks.

great video answered my question. Miss you Ron i will remember you and your wife and kids in my prayers. God bless.

RIP Ron. Thanks for all the help along the way. Split our oldest 2003 6.0 turbo today. Barking, performance code. Unison ring was real tight. Cleaned it up real good. Minor pitting. Unison wheel was in fine condition otherwise. 173k. Actuator slot not oblonged etc. Pretty certain I had improved % on VGT data also. Like it wasn’t fully functional prior to cleaning.

You can pull the VGT actuator and use a magnet or a pick ( I forget now ) and move the unison ring pretty easy when it’s working properly. Plus you can do this before and after cleaning to see the difference. In fact I’m sure Ron shows how to do it

Thanks for the video. 2006 6.0 4 x 4 with 201k miles. Still love this truck!

Hi, we had 6 codes related to low turbo boost, we cleared all codes & code came back as P0299 low Boost, first thing we did was check the intercooler, right side of the intercooler was leaking very badly & would not hold pressure, we changed the intercooler & roadtested, we still had lack of power with turbo fart on hard acceleration, removed turbo, vains were stuck, cleaned turbo, checked operation no good, found roll pin broken in actuator, fixed pin & cured problem, thanks for the video.

excellent video, thanks for taking the time to record it and great job explaining.....

I was worried I might need to replace my turbo as Ron said that if Unison ring stuck on its mounting and wont turn you might have to replace it. I attacked it with a die grinder and wire brush and 3M roloc wheels. These helped but still left behind a lot of corrosion. After taking a Goodson carbide super scraper to the hub where unison ring seats and the area underneath where the ring mounts it cleaned up real nice and now the unison ring moves freely. It also worked great on the mating surface of the two halves of the turbo which were heavily corroded. Just take your time with it and dont leave gouge marks. Work with a shallow angle so as not to dig in.

WE NEED MORE GUYS LIKE HIM, SHARE REPAIR EXPERIENCE

Thank you Ron. Wish you were still here. See you some day

I'm stumped on mine. No code set but taking off from a dead stop it lags, the VGT goes up and not down.. On hard acceleration it will go to 85% then drop to say 30% or whatever and that's when it accelerates.. Blows plumes of black smoke.. Changed my VGT actuator but no difference. Also, going down the road about 50-70 mph I try to accelerate, it will miss until I let off the gas and hit the gas hard again it will take off. Haven't taken the turbo off yet.

Thanks for the help. RIH ❤

Great video,thank you for sharing.

Cleaning is easy with the proper tools. If you're able to remove it and more important install it back properly than cleaning it is easy. I read people commenting on the anti seize. It's only for assembly. It's gone once it warms up. By far the most common cause for failure is short driving times not burning the condensation and moisture off.

When you see this outfit you know you got a real deal classically trained mechanic. Rip man

Hay Ron i have a 2006 f350 6.0 runs vary good but sometimes it has a lite miss or skip when you have lite load no codes

MUCHAS GRASIAS MAESTRO DICEL POR SU VIDEO ES EL MEJOR EN TODO EL MUNDO MUY BUEN TRABAJO COMPA MUY BERGA Q ES USTE

Great videos,thanks! I have a ? I've searched all your videos and I don't think you mention the actuator. Does that go bad?

Hello Ron. I very much appreciate your videos. Thank you.

Ron, Thanks for all the helpful hints. I recently replaced the turbo on my 6.0. The truck runs great, however under a heavy load with no loss of power it will throw a PO299. The turbo pressure on the instrument cluster will indicate good positive pressure and the scan gauge would show a negative boost, VGT will also drop below 15. All seems normal when the load lightens up a bit. Please help. Any Idea ?

Thank You for the alignment tips

hi ron, will the truck smoke a little after putting anti seize in the turbo?

Thanks for the video, it worked great.

Wow, these are great videos! Very good information. Do you work much on the 6.4's?

Most all the turbos Ive done, the antisieze burns away in a relatively short period of time anyway. The problem lies when you glob it on .Use sparingly if at all.

Ron, Any reason to not use a media blast cabinet to clean the the outer housing? Also if you do what would be the better media to use Sand,Glass or Walnut? Thanks

Rip Ron your a good man!

I took a wire brush and cleaned up very well, added some anti-sieze, reassembled, checked with a magnet for movement.....all good, reinstalled turbo. It sounded great and truck fired right up but after driving for a day, went to pass and lost power. Not sure what happened. Maybe something got disconnected. Any thoughts?

Could a problem with the low pressure fuel pump on the frame rail cause this code to set?

Can you use regular multi grease for the vains or it has to be that stuff you used

Dios LP tenga en su gloria gracias maestro

So what is wrong if I now have a oil leak? It seems like I had to loosen the clamp just a bit to allow the auctatior to move and now the leak began.

Hi Ron: Is it possible, to check the vane movement of the vanes, through the port with the threaded plug, while the turbocharger still mounted on the vehicle. Thanks...

My 05 f-250 want to rev the turbo when not needed like 50mph and below is good but once you step on it a bit to get going it want to do like a constant rev and sometime will cut powers of the turbo get to high when doing it but then jump backs on

Ron, I've got a check engine light on my 06 6.0 the other night after a cold start and I tried to read it but it said no codes. I deleted it and got it again the next day and it said p0000. The truck doesn't run rough and idk what the hell I could be, I'm thinking if anything the ficm is bad cause it's getting hard to start since it's been cold

I have a real issue with my 07 6.0 PSD when at a wide open throttle, fully warmed up and under medium to heavy load, I'm getting a popping through the intake noise and a loss of power... I'm in the process of pulling the heads off to replace bolts with studs and new bulletproof EGR cooler and engine oil cooler. The cylinder heads checked out good(no cracks, pressure tests and perfectly straight) I'm hoping that when it's all back together that the "popping" is gone. There were no stored codes and I had plenty of boost. While the turbo was off I tore it down and cleaned it, all the working parts moved smooth and easy. Is there anything that you can suggest before I put it all back together?

f250 turbo 6.0 ran fine just before the 0299 code; took turbo apart and disc/viens were ceased so got them cleaned up very well and applied anti-sieze, reassembled and checked with magnet and moved back n forth. Installed turbo, and reconnected all. Drove for a day and on second day took it on the highway, wen to pass a car and lost power. Very demoralizing. It's my dad's truck. I haven't looked at the truck to see if something came loose but curious if you had any thoughts.

We miss you

Does it matter what kind of anti seize I use on the turbo?

THANKS

Thank You!

what cases the heavy pitting on the veins ?

Hi Ron I have i2005 F350 sounds like it has a air leak coming out from the turbo when I disconnected electrical wire that a hook up to turbo stops sound of air leak will stop is there any way that anybody can tell me what this can Be the problem

Does a stuck on unison ring mean replace the turbo or is it ok to change out the unison ring? Hello Ron thanks again for all the great videos. I just disassembled the turbo and the unison ring was really stuck on. Had to pry it off like you said. The actuator hole looks ok but this my first so not sure. Does a stuck in unison ring mean replace the turbo or is it ok to change out the unison ring? I have a 2003 Excursion 6.0. It was blowing off through the intake ("barking" "huffing" don't know the term) while accelerating, and when I let off it would chatter air sound. I had a p2285 but I changed the ICP and harness a couple moths ago and while in it right now it looks good no leaking. The IPR pigtail was frayed on both wires. I've spliced in a new pigtail for that and have put the new screen and gasket set on it. Thanks for your time sir!

Ron I got 06 ford 6.0 got code p040 & p299 vgt is at 41.00 is this normal

Gentlemen, question? I have a 05 6.0 diesel, Check engine light is on. I have cleaned the ERG valve, Checked the air line on the manifold by the map thing, also replaced a top hose that was cracked. reset service light, light is off. now the problem is that the top turbo hose keeps blowing off, there was no oils or anything that was put on the hose, only carb. cleaner and cleaned all the connecting fitting. now it seems that I have way to much pressure, the top hose keeps blowing off upon heavy acceleration or when towing, what am I missing, is there anything that I need to check? I feel that it a sensor somewhere, thats my feeling. the turbo to me feels fine. but I'm not a Diesel tech. so if anyone has experienced this please help me thank you.

Why dont you anti seize the unison ring?

Hi, my wastegate is shut closed tight. The actuator is not holding pressure causing the wastegate flapper to be stucked closed. But I don't know why I am getting a P0299 underboost code. If wastegate is stucked closed shouldn't i be having overboost ? The car runs but has no power slow acceleration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would anyone happen to know if a faulty plunger would have a negative impact upon reassembly? The actuator rod from the oil plunger makes a gargling noise and is difficult to move back and forth when i rotate the unison ring. Is it normally pretty hesitant to move, or is the pluner not operating as it should?

do you have a turbo rebuild video? :} @dieseltechron

Does dirt or carbon only build on hot side

how hard is it to clean

Still the guy to go to for consultation. Still helping from above.

Still the best.

Over the weekend, I tore into this project & got to the part in reassembly where Im pulling the seal for the oil operated piston that moves the actuator rod & it wasnt moving using a magnetic parts grabber like youre using. I was working outside & it started snowing, so I moved things into the garage & this piston fell out in the process, I put it back in -seemingly it had a full range of motion, I reassembled the exhaust side to the center housing & reattempted the magnetic parts grabber on the piston while shining the light into where the Y pipe hooks onto & could see the vanes moving. Ive now got everything back on & the truck fires up, but it seems really reluctant to build boost, maxes out @ ~10psi, and has some funny sounding harmonics. I think my alignment for the piston & the actuator rod went less than great -How would I go about checking this? :)

After having put everything back together, it still seems like Im not really getting that much boost (engine sounds from the previous time apparently were not getting the downpipe completely mated up to the turbo); At the moment DTC-wise Im getting P1000, P0113, and P0487. Would any of these cause the turbo to make a more minimal output?

CETANE rating of 45 is the Minimal for Fords and its crucial! Most diesel fuel in the US has a rating 38-40, not enough for Fords. Low Cetane ratings will cause silt build up and cause your EGR's to gum up and fail.

I have an 04 6.0 powerstroke. I have noticed a weird clattering(low pitch) noise. It's not consistent. It comes and goes, usually about 10 seconds and it will stop.. It doesn't sound like a knock so I don't think its a lifter(at least I am hoping to god that its not a fucking lifter) someone said it could be the turbo sticking or a leaking intake. Could something like that make noises like I'm describing?

karadenise22 The most common thing I have run into, as far as excessive oil in the turbo, is blow by coming from the crankcase breather on the valve cover. This is connected directly to the inlet hose to the turbo by a small hose from the breather on the valve cover.

+karadenise22 In the center housing, theres a little ring (like a piston ring) that plays the role of a seal in the cavity where lube oil comes in to lube the turbine shaft; Its possible that seal/ring has gone to shit? If you dont want to tear into it,Try taking it to a turbo shop & see what they say. The amount of oil from the CCB like theyre talking about below is going to be pretty minimal...
