Hello, good evening everyone! I just registered here, but I have been lurking for quite awhile and have learned a lot from everyone here, so thank all of you that contribute to this site. Also this is my first post, so I applogize in advance if I went about this the wrong way. Now on to my problem, it is a very long story I am going to do my best to give you the short of it.
About a month ago my 05 6.0 crew cab short bed developed a bad miss. I took it down to the ford dealership, ford put it on the IDS scanner and said #7 injector was bad and #3 was low. I was quoted $1600 for 2 injectors, fuel filters changed and driver side valve cover leak fixed.
Being mechanically inclined, I opted to do the repair myself. First I changed #3 and #7 injectors. Truck ran awesome for about 100 miles. Miss came back, put it on “torque” my ob2 scanner/android. Cylinder 5 contribution now showed. I went ahead and swapped number 5. Truck ran great. Another 200 miles, cylinder 1 contribution light came on. I went ahead and tore it back down and replaced cylinder 1 injector, while I was there, the last time. I changed the stand pipe and dummy plug. Got it all back together, the truck ran and runs perfect.
About 100 miles after the passenger side injectors swap, now when I get on the interstate at cruising speed, the truck shakes, misses and shuts off. At this point I tested/ checked everything. I’ve checked/replaced:
FICM-48v/47.5v lowest it has gotten.
Replaced Injector harness.
Replaced oil, with motorcfraft 15w-40
Replaced both fuel filters.
Replaced Horizontal fuel pump/driver side frame rail.
Did blue spring update.
I’ve tested the FICM, ICP, IPR all of these are in spec and the truck fires right up no problem, to diagnose fuel pressure, I ordered secondary aluminum fuel filter cap, with 1/8 fitting. From there, I ran a 0-100 psi fuel gauge to the windshield and took off down the road. Idling fuel pressure is 70psi (blue spring update). Cruising around town fuel Pressure drops between 30-40psi. WOT, fuel pressure will drop completely all the way down to 0psi. I have checked and switched gauges, at this point I was sure it was the fuel pump, so today I swapped it out. No dice. Truck still has the Same issue. While changing fuel pump I also put in new fuel filters. Today, while changing the fuel filters, when I turn the key on, to “prime” the filters, I took the secondary fuel bowl off and watched to see if air is in the system. To my surprise, when the key is switched on, the fuel bowl bubbles almost like the fuel is boiling. It will bubble/explode out of the fuel bowl. While doing this, you can hear air switching/gurgling. I have no idea where to go from here or what to do. I do have videos of the fuel bowl, which can be seen here. I have been without my truck for a month now and have spent a lot of money to get it going again. I’m at my wits end and officially stumped at this point and really need some help.
