No wonder Ford diesels had so many problems. It's really amazing how few mechanics take pride in their work. I had to quit the dealerships and go on my own to preserve quality repairs, and an affordable price. Since they made it necessary to pull the cab off the truck to access the engine, I have declined to work with any diesel, in spite of my qualifications. You are an honest mechanic, and this is so rare. Keep up the great work.

Sir, you are the single greatest thing to happen to the diesel community since the invention of the turbo diesel itself. The knowledge you provide in these videos, ESPECIALLY regarding the 6.0, is invaluable. I’m about to purchase a 6.0 King Ranch. Without watching these videos I never would have even considered the 6.0 over a 7.3 or a 6.4, but now I feel confident that I can bulletproof it and keep it in service for hundreds of thousands more miles. Thank you very much for your work.

People no matter what motor you have: gas, diesel.... No matter who made it. Listen to this man's words. He is 100% correct. I check all coolant caps every 6 months or before a long trip. Little things like this and proper maintenance (oil changes, etc) will save you a lot of money and make your motor last much much longer. I didn't get 200,000mi+ out of a Chevy 350 by letting things go. All it's ever had was a water pump and A/C compressor. Just by doing regular maintenance It still runs like new everyday. I drove semi-trucks for a living and just by doing good maintenance on them. I only had 2 breakdowns in over 2,000,000 miles. (Neither were major just more than I could fix on the side of the road)

hi Bill, love the videos, tons of info sharing here. I relate so much to many of your videos. I have a 2002 7.3l, 6 inch lift with 40 in tires, 3.73 gears. I'm on my 4th transmission and recently 2nd motor due to the Coolant bottle having Crack in it. I was 20 when I bought the truck and have been learning the hard/expensive way. everyone is quick to take my money but lack the knowledge and or professionalism to help me solve root problems. thanks for taking the time to create so many informative videos! not once did someone say you should change your gearing to stop eating transmissions, just install a new one, tell me everything's all good, then I'm back in the shop 2 years later, they love me. even the cracked Coolant bottle, they replaced the motor but never replaced the bottle, setting me up for another engine failure. I'm from bc canada and it just seems like a lot of guys lack the specific knowledge to work on my truck. maybe one day I can road tripper down and have a bulletproof done! thanks again, cheers!

this is great advide and as someone who did a lot of his own mechanical work on his vehicles i found that radiators were also important, i have a 289 that started to overheat on the highway so i changed the head gaskets three times in one week thinking that was the problem, i ran my hand across the rad and the fins turned to dust, changed the rad and problem solved, my dad bought a dodge car and it was set up for towing a trailer and he went on a trip and it cost him over a thousand dollars to have his engine fixed because of overheating, when he got home i changed his rad and he never had a problem again, cooling is so important along with regular oil changes that most take for granted. i love people like you that do these type of videos for do it yourselfers like me.

I bough an 2008 power stroke and noticed some coolant underneath the truck a couple days later and decided to try and find out what was causing the problem myself before I took the truck back to the dealer or shop and had it repaired , After I did a search and watched the video I walked out to the truck raised the hood and removed the radiator cap and sure enough it was the old cap with the small spring , I replaced it as you instructed and have drove the truck almost 2200 miles and no more fluid leaks and the truck and I thank you , PS the truck had been into a Ford dealership the month before I bought it for service , I would have thought they would have checked the cap and replaced it since it was the dealership where the truck was purchased .

Just noticed that my coolant reservoir on my 02 7.3 was empty after towing my new fifth wheel for the first time. I saw the coolant at the top of the lower tube though, so I figured I had a crack in the reservoir. After inspecting it I didn't see any cracks...further research led me to your excellent video and I ran right over to Advance for a gallon of 50/50 and a new coolant cap. So far so good, but I will keep a close eye on the coolant level. Thanks for posting this video, I believe that you saved me some dollars!
