I want a diesel so bad but every time I see these videos or a friend has problems I’m glad to have a 5.0 where everything is pretty easy to get to

Ya I don’t blame you. A diesel is awesome when you are using it. As soon as something goes wrong they suck to work on though! Newer gas trucks these days are very capable for most people

@quentonmillstid850 4 ай бұрын

A 5.0 can tow maybe half of what a diesel can. Not a fair comparison. A 6.8 or 7.3 gas is a more fair comparison. Those half ton diesels are not worth getting anyways

Very good video. I am shopping for one, but taking my time. Your video provides some great guidance of what to look for. Thank you for sharing!

Nice video!! I agree these trucks are pain in the rear but I do love it. When I hit 40 I’m dumping mine and going back to a gasser. Getting of working on my vehicles. Also wear is that hole that you blew out for hvac near the blower motor and the other outdoor hole at?

I have a ‘14 F350 that I did have a cp4 failure on a few years ago. I’ll be doing a screen conversion soon. I bought it new and have about 140,000 miles on it of hard towing. I’ve made several upgrades including Mishimoto radiators. However I haven’t touched the turbo and have had no issues. I have not deleted mine in anyway due to all the legal issues I didn’t feel like pissing with. Overall I’ve been very happy with the truck. Mine has been mostly trouble free but it’s also been extremely well maintained.

Thanks for sharing. I like hearing real world feedback. Maintenance is the secret with most vehicles. The stock turbo seem to do ok at stock power levels. Not a lot of wiggle room when people tune them and up the boost pressure / turbine speed.

Great video! I have a 2013 as well with a ton of SPE parts love their stuff. All the items you mentioned are great topics regarding the 2011-2014. Consider the coolant reroute as well from SPE, helps eliminate the factory connections that end up leaking. Also keep an eye out for the coolant line on the turbo as well as the gaskets on the thermostat housing that go between the cylinder heads. Check rockauto for oil and fuel filters I get my fuel filters for like $60 motorcraft and oil and oil filter motorcraft as well usually runs about $70usd

I had a lift pump failure on my 2013 power stroke. I replaced it and swapped the CP4 to a DCR pump and also a sinister diesel charge pipe. Feel much better about the truck now she runs great.

@JT2JZ 4 ай бұрын

@donjerlis Any noticeable power gains with the DCR pump? Did you have to retune the truck?

@donjerlis 4 ай бұрын

@@JT2JZ no tuning is necessary with the DCR upgrade. It does seem like it has a little bit more power. It’s pretty labor intensive. So far I’m very happy with it and I don’t have to worry about the Cp4 failing and trashing the entire fuel system.

@donjerlis 4 ай бұрын

@@JT2JZ I also noticed you have the disaster prevention kit on your truck. The DCR pump is 100% compatible with that installed. You may want to visit thoroughbred diesel’s channel on the upgrade.

Uhh yea I think I'll be going with a good ol 5.3 ls. I don't even tow that hard, just considering a diesel for fuel economy and how many miles they last. But too many issues.

@JT2JZ 3 ай бұрын

I had a supercharged LQ9 6.0L Chev for many many years. Best truck I ever owned! Hard on fuel but damn it was reliable

@MadMan_123 3 ай бұрын

@JT2JZ pretty much exactly what I want. 5.3 or 6.0, but if I got 5.3 I'll have to 4l80 swap anyway, build a motor slowly on the side with the 4l80 and set up the torqstorm procharger or lsa supercharger, haven't figured out what's more cost efficient yet. Then if I want I could build the second motor and keep driving it forever lmao. Super close to affording one rn.

@JT2JZ 3 ай бұрын

@MadMan_123 even the 4L60 trans is decent with a few basic upgrades. I have a few older videos on my trucks setup you can check out if you are curious.

@MadMan_123 3 ай бұрын

@JT2JZ yea they do, but if I want to go another 200k miles and do some towing (at the most I might tow a car rarley, mostly just a side by side or my quad) I'd rather put money in building a fresh 4l80, just in stock form it would be fine but a little bullet proofing wouldn't hurt. Plus I have a good rebuildable core, I hear someone makes a plug n play harness.
