Iv been a diesel tech for the past 15 years and every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Thanks for the vids man.

Thank you Ron, you keep saving me all the time. God took you away unexpectedly but you exist through all your videos for many of us out here. Rest in peace good friend

Your videos are incredibly detailed and on a lot of repairs it’s the simple little details that make a job so much smoother. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world. Rest in peace brother.

I just did this repair on a 2003 F350 6.0 I went through the top of the motor; had to take the driver's side battery out along with inlet air pipes. The job was a royal pain the butt. The bolt and tape trick was a huge help. Most of the insulation/wrapper I had could not reuse had to redo that and trying to snake the wire back down was a pain. The replacement wiring is too long but I figure easier to deal with long wiring then too short. I also wasn't sure how far back I had to go on the wire to replace, so I went as far as I could but not far because you have to re tape all of it. I will say this is the most frustrating problem because some days it would start and other days it would not. I never got stuck but each time it would not start the scanner said no sync. I tested the old wiring for continuity and it had a .4 resistance rating; the new wire was perfect. I really miss DieselTechRon but his legacy lives on. Thank you Ron, you are missed!!

Thanks Ron, did this repair yesterday and she fired right up! Still helping me out.

Such a great help and all your wonderful videos .. God bless you and may he continue to maintain you in his glory.

Wow ...I've worked on cars a long time and still learn from these videos.

This man saved ALL of us tons of time and money. If you are a Tech and you do this for a living well then face it HE Saved you time and you made money because of that. Donate to his family! They have lost a father, husband and provider. We cant bring him back but we can help the family. Pay that Karma back, pay it forward. Someday your family might need help. You can find the donation tab in DieselTechRons last video.

Thanks Ron for all your help. My heart breaks for you and you family. God Bless RIP

I like the bolt/tape idea.

The electrical tape trick is awesome. I wish I watched this week ago

Love the small electrical tape hack! RIP Ron!

This guys is absolutely awesome RIP.

Great video! I'm a little confused because you started off talking about the crank sensor but ended up replacing the cam sensor. Great tape tip BTW!

I've never seen a bad crank signal yet. sync is alignment of the cam and crank signal. I focused on the cam because that's the main cause. crank is easily verified by rpm

Hello! I had same issue no sync, found both crankshaft sensor wiring tampered and had heat shrink on each one. Wiggled them and that was the issue, I repaired them and everything works well!

It's sad when you have to point out things like why you sound monotone. Frikkin youtube trolls/kids. Anyway, another helpful video. Thanks, Ron. You've saved me a bunch of money.

Bought scan gauge and everything was right except ficm synch. Wiggled cam sensor wire near fuel filter and she fired! Ordering new egr connector for the cam sensor. Might have jacked it up doing blue spring but didn’t manifest for 2 weeks on cold night.

hi my 2001 e350van 7.3 makes a hissing sound when it's cold out almost like air building up?

MISS YOU RON !!!!!

Can you recommend a KZread channel for VW TDI? or do you have any experience? Thanks

I have a no sync issue 2004 f250 6.0. truck will start eventually however the little black box shown in this video still says no sync while the truck is running.... Any ideas?

I need to know exactly where the cam shaft sensor is on a 2006 f350 Ford 6.0 power stroke turbodeisel

was there any damage to them two wires going to the cam sensor? I was hoping you would show where the fail was. one other question for you is will the glow plug module fail creating bad signal to one glow plug? replaced all glow plugs and harnesses and still have a code for number 2 glow plug failure check the wire from module to glow plug and it is good. will the module just lose one at a time or do they default them all. thanks Ron you seem very much helpful

I've never been able to see the damage on them. yes the module can lose one glow plug only. I've had two wired wrong. I kept getting glow plug number one. ended up being seven. wire positions were reversed.

Ty you are the best

Ron, Does the presence of an RPM signal and a failed cam sensor also apply to the 7.3 Power stroke? Great video! Thanks. Eric

yes. If the crank is strong you can watch the rpm on the dash.

The ground wire does it need to be there?

It seems like it just wraps around and ends at the base of the connector

What was the site you mentioned to get the pigtail?

I’m having a hard time finding the harness on the website

Legend even after death. RIP

Tanks a lot, this information is invaluable.

Which one goes to red and which goes to black?

I got a 6.0 in the shop and it doesn't sync when to turning over and I have swapped pcm and ficm off another 6.0 the same year. It has 1500 psi through the ipr so it has high pressure during turnover. It has low pressure the tac is reading when I turn it over but it will not start. I have swapped injector harness off another 6.0 and everything it will not start. Can you please give me some advice?

miss you RON!!!!!

Thanks

Ran it out of deisel i put new filters cleanened fuel pump

never solder wires, join wires with crimping connector that also has ends with heatshrink ( not use those that has a ring in center with solder )

🙏🙏🙏

I have a 04 600 diesel that it made a little poof racket the other day coming down the hill I found it mode a turbo pipe I went put a new turbo pipe on it I did not help the racket I hear now I have lost power because of no boost Adil the truck around it's got power but when I get up to speed I hear a real real bad are like it has a real bad air leak in it somewhere around the area that are around one of the hoses I have checked the hoses have not found no leaks do you have any other suggestions that I could look at I have a small exhaust leak on one of the up pipes would that be it because it definitely smoking out of the pipe and would that make it loose enough boost for me not to have no boost thank you

Its the y pipe. The v clamp is not letting them seat properly. Just a little bit and you have a boost leak. Happend to us because we bent the y pipe just a tiny bit.

my cam wire had a intermittent short but instead of going with the one Ron rec'd, I ordered the oem Motorcraft WPT359 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Connector for only $32 and here's an awesome write up as well! www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1160636-camshaft-position-sensor-cmp-wiring-pigtail-replacement.html
