• To disconnect the crankcase ventilation tube from the engine, remove the air inlet tube from the compressor inlet and rotate the vent hose counter clockwise until it releases. • Note: Since the 6.0L POWER STROKE engine uses a closed crankcase ventilation system, it is normal to see oil carry over in the… Read More »
• In order to accommodate the change from an internal crankcase breather to an externally mounted crankcase breather, the compressor inlet hose has been modified. • The compressor inlet hose bracket is also utilized as a retaining bracket for the front two mounting points of the … Read More »
• The crankcase breather has been externally mounted on the left valve cover. • The rear cross over section has been removed from the intake manifold • The updated 2004 MY Power Stroke engine has been equipped with a EGR Throttle Plate.
• A change was made to the injector clevis mid-way through the 2003 MY. • The revised clevis in the injector improves the lateral support of the plunger and dramatically reduces injector scuffing.
• Mid-way through 2003 MY, the sleeve in the high-pressure pump cover was removed. • The sealing surface for the high-pressure oil discharge tube is now totally machined for the o-ring seal.
• From the beginning of production, the high-pressure pump cover retains a sleeve which provides a sealing surface for the o-ring on the high-pressure oil discharge tube.
• The orientation of the injector connector retaining clip has been repositioned in order to improve serviceability. • Prior to this change, the clip was positioned on the side (9 o’clock position) of the connector. This made removal and installation of the injector connector more difficult on some cylinders.
• In order to increase serviceability and long term reliability of the engine wiring harness, the two harnesses were separated. • The injector harness, which runs from the FICM to each of the eight injectors, is now routed between the oil filter housing and the compressor housing of the… Read More »
• From the beginning of the production of the 6.0L Power Stroke engine, the wiring harness has been comprised of two combined smaller harnesses. • Both of these smaller harnesses were routed between the oil filter housing and the secondary fuel filter housing.
• Once the oil supply line has been pressed into the cooler, the collar should be positioned and the retaining bolt installed. • Prior to tightening the retaining bolt, reposition the oil supply line, as necessary, in order to install the two turbo mounted oil supply line… Read More »
