problems with 6.0

[red73psd]

well after my father passed away we have to sell his truck. but it seems to be acting weird and i dont no much about 6.0 .... i have a 7.3. but his 05 6.0 developed this problem recently and it started out the truck had "90miles" till empty and it was parked on a slight slope and it would start up. check the to see if the fuel bowl was fillin and it was. but i added 10 gallons of fuel any ways. after cycleing the key on and off for a while it finally started and the problem went away till the next day. same thing happen we added more fuel and cycled the key for a bit and it started no problems. then the next day it had a full tank. went to best buy and no i cant get it started. there were no other noticable problems runs great. no lights. or anything. no smoke. any one have any advise for me. where to look or possible common problems

If you cycle the key a couple of times maybe the glow plugs are weak and slow to heat up? Cycling the key a couple times would give them more time to get up to temp and fire up like they should.

you still got a warranty?

that is your best bet, i have no clue to what the prob is..


My condolences to your family.

thats what i though.... but it isnt the case. cuz one time i tried to get it running and cycled the key a bunch and couldnt get it going. but came back a couple hours later and fired up first time

you should have a 100k mile warranty on the 6.0

Mike,
Maybe HPOP o-rings; it's a common problem on the 05's. You likely aren't building enough pressure to fire the injectors. I'd take it to the dealer because the engine is covered by your 100k powertrain warranty and this is an engine problem.

***Edit: Here is the TSB information on it***
2005-07 F-SuperDuty/Excursion No-Start, High Pressure Oil System Leak:
Some trucks may develop an oil leak at the high pressure oil pump outlet fitting. This will cause a no-start condition as the computer needs to see at least 500 PSI before it will activate the injectors. In some cases the no-start will be intermittent and/or an intermittent stall with no codes will occur. If high pressure oil leak diagnosis indicates a leak at the pump, the pump outlet fitting (W301727) and the discharge tube block should be replaced with fitting and bracket kit 4C3Z-9B246-A. Do not torque the outlet fitting beyond 38 ft/lbs. If the leak is traced to the branch tube running through the engine block, replace with P/N 5C3Z9J332-B (requires removal of the transmission, flywheel and rear engine cover; new flywheel bolts required). TSB 06-14-6.
