2005 6.0 busted

300 miles into a cross country trip and my 05 F350 6.0 dies on the road. Towed it to the dealer and get a call saying "high pressure oil leak" and they do not know how long it will take to fix. Anybody have any experience in this issue? I read it is all integral, saw some posts about leaks at the flange of the pump, But I would like to continue my journey and have no idea when I will get my truck back. Any insight would be appreciated.

There's a line with a banjo type fitting on it that feeds the stand pipe going to the high pressure rails. I think that's a fairly common place to have high pressure leaks. There are a bunch of things it could be, though. How long it will take depends on how competent their techs are and how busy they are. Unless you're lucky enough to be broken down in Winston Salem, that's hard to say.

I wish I could be more help. Maybe Scuffy or Jon will see this and can tell you more.

The only way is to proactively change out the "Snap-to-Connect" fitting w/ the upgraded part.

THE NEW STYLE STC FITTING THAT FORD JUST CAM OUT WITH WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR PROACTIVE REPLACEMENT OF THAT PART!! INSTEAD OF USING AN O-RING, THE HAVE JUST MADE IT WITH A JAM NUT. THIS WILL HELP PREVENT IT FROM DYING ALL OF THE TIME. THAT IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WHEN THERE IS A HIGH PRESSURE OIL LEAK. ANY GOOD TECH SHOULD HAVE IT DONE WITH IN A DAY!! ALSO, IT COULD BE THE D-RINGS ON THE DUMMIE PLUGS IN THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL RAILS. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE A TENDINCY OF GETTING CUT. IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY WILL JUST HAVE TO WHIP THE VALVE COVERS OFF AND GET THOSE D-RINGS REPLACED. A FEW HOURS MAX FOR THAT REPAIR. (IF THEY HAVE A DECENT TECH!!)
