@k_hoffman garret had changed the style of their cover and you could not get a billet wheel for the newer ones. I did end up ditching the powermax and I now work with a company turbotimeusa.com they even give an affiliate discount code for 10% off it is six0bros at checkout. Are you in the market for a new turbo?

no pressure but some steam coming off. today I gutted the ccv filter. We will see how that does. I just need to address one more oil leak on passenger side valve cover/ rocker box. I am hoping it is just a gasket that got damaged or is worn out from being old, and not another crack in a rocker box. This build has been an absolute mess

@@six0bros hoping the best for yah. I know how it can be. That's for sure.

@@Itsa_Mea I appreciate that man. hey did you see the talk about the new 2025 cummins and the rumored larger displacement with a new 8 speed transmission? i thought that was pretty cool.

@@six0bros The 8 spd talk has been out for awhile and seems pretty definite. The larger displacement Cummins is a new one for me, hearing about it a couple days ago. I said I'd keep my '18 H.O. forever but a 2026 with an 8spd could be in my future. But I'm content with my current truck. Oh, my old 6.0 is up for sale by the owner that bought it from me 4 yrs ago on Offerup.

@Itsa_Mea an 8 speed with larger displacement would be awesome. Although you have a great setup with the HO I heard rumor cummins will go to just a single diesel options instead of standard and HO. I think that's a good move. I think ford made a huge mistake by have 2 options

My brother just painted his. It's oem. Good eye though most people probably miss that

I have since bought a 2016 now too

It has been so frustrating man. Hoping in another week to have things straightened out but who knows at this point. This didn't fix it so I'm going to try the valve cover gasket next

@@six0bros stay positive brotha

@johnnycortez46 I'm trying. If these next 2 projects actually fix the issue I'll be super happy and able to move forward

@2speedgarage402 next project is to guide the ccv filter and see of that fixes the issue

@@kingsamoanOG I'm trying to fix this last one. The enginenis practically new lol here's hoping this works

Lol hey gotta try and grow somehow. Also I do try and always keep that stuff short

Upgrading your egr keeps you out of trouble so I recommend checking out one of bpd setup for that. I will say while doing that I would also grab an odawg s2r Intake manifold. Deleting a truck will not increase your risk of blowing head gaskets. Addressing the egr will decrease your chance of blowing head gaskets

@@six0bros hey man, thanks for the reply. Makes perfect sense. I will definitely be looking into a delete kit and a SCT tuner. For my temp.

@user-sm5sc6sv3y sounds good man. I'll be doing tune reviews in the near future

@@six0bros thanks man

Not true. Lol

What is incorrect

I actually did. I filmed it but I didn't edit the footage yet. Went something a little more oem looking with a modern twist. I'm liking them so far. Video is coming soon. I have some pictures on Instagram with them. The alpharex looks cool but I didn't like that I can't service the bulb on my own.

That's a great way to spend the night man!

Hey man thank you. This is the headunit I used. Mainly picked it for 3 camera options go signal out for future amps I will add and the ability to keep all controls and use android auto or apple car play. This is an affiliate link. No extra cost if you buy from it amzn.to/3zn8eMR

I believe to adjust it you need to take rear brake rotors off and adjust it there. How much slack is in it I wonder if they sold you thr wrong one for your cab configuration I never looked into different cab sizes and didn't think about that until now. I will try and look into it I forget if I did at time of this video

41 year new rear shoe rotor dum Tighten Up shoes and got a drag still got a lot of slop in the parking brake cable

I like cat el 1 coolant. And I honestly just run ford motorcrafts 15w-40. I have considered trying Schaffers oil. Motorcraft coolant isn't bad but it does require frequent coolant maintenance

@@six0bros does that coolant have to be 50/50? Like a premix?

Oh I didn't know that I will have to reach out to them. Thank you man.

I can't wait to do my review

After everything I have been through I could not agree more. the build in a box I have come to realize is a bad idea. its easy for everyone involved in the build to duck out and say not our issue which seems to be some of what I am dealing with pretty much on all front of the build. I wish I wouldn't have listened to the shop when they said don't buy the short block just get the build in a box. I also believe not having my heads double checked by a local machine shop has cost me the first engine and was the reason this build needed to go back in. I am planning on doing a video talking about what I have learned in this build process so people can learn from mistakes I have made, and hopefully save them the thousands I lost. You're spot on with your advice man!

First he is a good guy. I love what he has done with that. I want to review it in the future. It is a super clean look he has on it too. My only reason for wanting an independent sensor has to do with some tuner manipulating this value, amd I have had this kit sitting around waiting for my truck to come back lol. I'm going to work on getting a back pressure sensor on my truck also this way, but that has more to do with reviewing turbos and wanting values that didn't get through the ecm/pcm. However I do recommend ITS kit as it is one of the best ideas I have seen

@@six0brosfor sure, I have the sct3 myself. The add on kits are pretty pricy 😅 I do have the egt probe though. But gearhead and blessed performance can re write your exiting tunes to the new correct map values. In his kit he gives the new values to give them to run it properly. Both are good options but for an easy clean oe looking set up he’s done an awesome job with that.

@@rcwildman9255 gearhead and blessed I hear excellent things from people on them. I plan to review tunes from each of them in the near future. along with whoever else is popular at the moment.

It seems good but I feel like I have a lot of oil coming through my crank case vent so I'm worried there is still an issue

@six0bros Oh bro im sorry to hear that. Hopefully it all works out for you. Keep your head up🤙🤙🤙

This engine was not abused. In fact it had very few miles on it there was an issue with a leaking valve seal, and potentially some issue with the head or rocker box that caused this. The leaking radiator was from it sitting. Unfortunate there were issue outside my control that led to many of the issues. I assure you few people take care of a vehicle as well as I do, and even though I will push this truck pretty hard once the engine is broken in I haven't abused it.

Yes I am planning on comparing thr no limit, and older s&b, a 4 inch tube with afe filter. Date I'll be looking at will be mostly focused on vacuum being pulling from the intake, maf, boost. I think vacuum will be the most important in this but I do plan dlto try and gather from decent data on it.

Just need some time to save all the money for each setup lol.

My ecm had to be swapped out because the old one stopped working. Was it a programming issue or did you need a new one?

I believe they reflashed it? It's been some time since then, but I don't believe it was replaced

Thanks man I'm excited to really put some videos out. I have about 3 filmed I'm about to edit

I think banks was the only one making those pipes to my knowledge. Was it just the pipes or do they have the whole intercooler as well

@@six0bros looks like i can find the whole kit but to me its like the truck only needs the pipes and boots already has the intercooler and high ram

I would try calling banks and see if they can do anything to help. Do they have a bov in each one or just the hot side?

Yes it would. I believe most came with a hitch already from factory that should be good for your setup. There are a few side things I recommend getting for the truck but it will tow that very well

@@six0bros great thanks …I meant to say *under 10000 but I think you got it …I own a f150 powerboost and not gonna lie I’m kind of intimidated of buying an older truck I’m in the fence rn with a late 90’s 7.3 or a the 6.0 I’m eyeing rn

@estebanjuarez2779 may I ask what is your price range you're looking at spending? I personally would go 6.0 over a 7.3 but some of that is preference and the 6.0 brakes better with tow haul on.

I would highly recommend 2015 and newer. I have heard 17 there were some issues but overall nothing major. If you go older I would stick with 2013 and newer but I do prefer 15 and newer

@@six0bros Thanks for the advise. It's greatly appreciated.

I would still say sct. You get the most tuning options with it. Most custom tunes run off of that software.

What area are you in?

Not a bad Saturday man. What vehicle got the new filter

@@six0bros my 06 6.0. Just hit 310000 miles.

Oh crap what happened?

@@six0bros radiator plugged up 🙄 love working Saturdays hahahaha

They are still orange. No plans on changing I like the look

Good stuff man

I know this process has been painful on so many levels man. Just glad to ve getting it fixed. It's going back together now

For some reason I'm just weird about that and don't like to but it is the quickest way to get it done.

Sounds like it needs a good suspension overhaul on it. Has a shop looked at your death wobble issue?

I'm not sure what you're saying here?

So I went back and started watching this video to see. I agree it was ridiculous. It's a shame how some people operate. Some of the issue was he didn't go to a good place and had people that didn't fully know what they were doing working on the truck. There were some random issues I fixed on it. He sold the truck about a year later but it was running good still after. As for the number of turbos prior I was taking his word for it.

I said it was more of an overview and that I did a more indepth video.pinned comment

Patt of the issue on this truck is the odawg intake and the ipr seems to sit lower than on later style trucks. So there was a bit different on this truck. What year do you have
