The 6.4 Powerstroke was introduced in 2008 and quickly
became popular due to the factory twin turbo setup and new body style Ford
implemented these engines into. Early 2008 Superduty trucks were known as job 1
trucks and later were replaced by the job 2 version. Job 1 trucks were
notorious for the flames shooting out of the exhaust due to leaking injectors;
however, Ford quickly recalled several thousand trucks and cured the issue with
new software being installed. Now that these trucks are getting some miles on
them since they are around 7 years old the emissions systems are beginning to
fail.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first emissions related failure most people experience
is the DPF or diesel particulate filter clogging up and constantly
regenerating. A common sign of DPF failure is a white or blue haze coming from
the exhaust, low boost, loss of power, and the clean exhaust light constantly
flashing. These trucks have to be driven at least 30 miles and sometimes more
to properly regenerate the exhaust system. Farmers and other people who
constantly work with these truck in off-road situations experience this more
often than others. The trucks that are left idling while working or those who
drive only a small amount of miles a day tend to clog up the DPF filter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second emissions related failure is the EGR system. The
EGR also known as exhaust gas re-circulation system fails because of the coolant
passages rupturing into the exhaust passage. Exhaust is sent through the EGR
into the intake to lower EGT’s and cut down on the amount of oxygen allowed into
the cylinder for combustion. 6.4 Powerstrokes have two EGR coolers and the EGR
valve is located in the intake elbow that attaches to the intake manifold. The
EGR valve gets clogged up and restricts the airflow to the intake manifold
resulting in catastrophic failure. Catastrophic failure is usually a burnt or
cracked piston in the number 7 or 8 cylinder. One EGR cooler stands vertically
in front of the block while the second lies horizontally on the driver side
behind the steering linkage. These coolers usually leak internally and sometimes
externally depending on how clogged they are. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Problems usually occur on trucks that are used off-road and
do not have conventional driving habits. For trucks that are being used
off-road one can perform deletes with proper tuning to cure these issues. When
deleting the <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts/6-4-08-10/egr-dpf-deletes/6-4l-egr-delete-kits/6-4l-powerstroke-egr-delete-with-high-flow-intake-elbow-2008-2010.html" target="_blank">EGR</a> on a 6.4 it is recommended to also change the intake elbow
along with eliminating the coolers. The <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts/6-4-08-10/egr-dpf-deletes/6-4l-egr-delete-kits/custom-diesel-6-4-powerstroke-high-flow-intake-elbow.html" target="_blank">intake elbow</a> helps eliminate the lean
condition caused by the factory intake horn where the EGR valve is present. <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford/ford-powerstroke-6-4-08-10/exhaust-systems/downpipes-and-delete-pipes/atlas-4-cat-dpf-delete-aluminized-steel-exhaust-race-pipe-ford-6-4l.html" target="_blank">DPF</a>
delete pipes remove the particulate filter from underneath the truck and
prevent any clogs that occur because of the screen that restricts airflow.
Proper tuning is required to make the truck operate without any check engine
lights or warnings. Keep in mind this is for off-road situations only and not
allowed for on road vehicles.<o:p></o:p></div>

The 6.0 Powerstroke has many issues one of which can be
prevented, turbo failure. This is a common problem with these engines. The VGT
turbo that comes on these motors stock can produce an amazing 325 horsepower,
however, without proper maintenance can suffer a short life span. A variable
geometry turbo has many advantages over other turbo designs. Vane position can
change allowing engine braking to take place and work more efficiently under
many different driving situations. Here are some of the common issues and how
to resolve them properly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Stuck Vanes</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Variable geometry turbos on the 6.0 Powerstroke have a
tendency for vanes to stick because of soot buildup from the EGR system.
Deleting the <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/ford-egr-delete-kits/6-0-powerstroke/egr-delete-kit-basic-powerstroke-6-0.html" target="_blank">EGR</a> system is one of the best things one can do to these engines
preventing the abundance of soot buildup in the intake. If the engine is not driven
at a higher RPM periodically the vanes begin to stick. Once the vanes begin to
stick one can suffer from less than exceptional fuel mileage, non-existent
engine braking, insufficient boost, and high exhaust gas temperatures (EGT). Running
the engine at a higher RPM allows the turbo to spool quick enough for the soot
to be expelled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Turbo Cool Down</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When towing with the 6.0 Powerstroke some people fail to let
the turbo cool off after a long haul. EGT temperatures are usually high during
towing situations and when the engine is shut down prematurely it can cause
damage to the turbo. The best way to resolve this issue is to purchase a turbo
timer to shut the engine off once a certain EGT is achieved during idle or
simply let the engine idle for a few minutes before exiting the vehicle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Exhaust Gas Recirculation</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most common problem with the 6.0 is EGR failure. Soot
from the exhaust clogs up the cooler as it is sent into the intake. The reason
exhaust is sent to the intake is to reduce emissions and lower EGT. One can
experience the domino effect if the EGR cooler fails. Blown head gaskets, oil
cooler failure, and of course turbo issues can occur. The easiest way to
prevent this is by purchasing and installing our <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/egr-delete-kits/ford" target="_blank">EGR delete kit</a> for the 6.0
Powerstroke. Our kit reroutes the coolant back into the engine with the j-tube
and blocks off the port on the up pipe where the cooler attached or replace the
up pipe all together with a smooth free flowing pipe. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>High Pressure Oil Pump </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6.0 Powerstrokes have issues with the HPOP especially from
the years 2005 on up. The HPOP has a fitting that tends to become brittle and
crack causing a leak. If the leak is not noticed in time one can cause severe
engine damage. The only way to resolve this issue is to put the<a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/engine-parts/factory-replacement-parts/ford-6-0-stc-hpop-fitting-update-kit.html" target="_blank"> updated STCfitting</a> on the HPOP preventing it from cracking or leaking. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though these engines have so many issues plaguing them
they are one of the best engines on the road. The 6.0 is a smoother operating motor
than the 7.3 but due to the addition of emissions equipment and other design
flaws it must be modified to operate properly.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6pt;">Misconceptions about
diesel engines abound. From diesel pros and cons to the best (and worst) diesel
performance parts and trucks, there are a lot of diesel engine articles and myths
floating around. Diesel engine myths have tarnished diesels' reputation for
years, and drivers deserve to know the truth. Here are five of the most popular
diesel engine myths and misconceptions, along with a more accurate take on
diesel performance, facts, and features:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<br />
<b>1. Diesel Engines Are Too Loud </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Much of the public still
believes that diesel engines are all noisy, rumbling, smoke-belching
monstrosities. While the earlier direct-injection diesel vehicles were indeed
much more noisy, these days newer common-rail technology makes diesels nearly
as quiet as gasoline engines. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Diesels Are Expensive to Repair and Maintain</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This is a pervasive myth,
but it's simply not true. The diesel engine's primary benefit is longevity.
While a 300,000-mile engine might need a lift pump, a set of injectors,
or even an injection pump, there rarely is a catastrophic failure. Diesel
engines have very good fuel economy, especially while towing. Oil changes for
diesels can be pricey, but 10,000-mile intervals are normal for newer models,
so you'll pay for fewer of them.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Diesels Are Difficult to Start in Winter</b><br />
<br />
While many believe that diesels don't start in cold weather as well as their
gasoline counterparts, most modern diesels now come equipped with block heaters
that bring them up to speed. Some users don’t take the time to utilize their
block heaters in cold weather (or aren't aware they are an option), but this
can make a big difference. Keeping your intake grid heater functioning
properly, glow plugs and relay-optimal, and batteries charged, also helps
significantly with cold-weather starts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">4. Propane Is Like
Nitrous for a Diesel Engine</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
Not true -- in fact, these two fuel types are polar opposites. While both
propane and nitrous are gases within an engine, adding propane is like burning
an additional fuel, while the oxygen content of nitrous is tantamount to adding
another turbo. Propane injection can result in a small surge of power and
improve fuel economy, but nothing earth shattering. Doing this is best for
unmodified engines. If used for horsepower gains, propane can ignite
prematurely and lead to excess heat, holed or melted pistons, and corroded
injector nozzles. Propane can be dangerous, as there's no way to regulate its
ignition point. Nitrous is best used for competitions at high boost and high
rpm, and it can add hundreds of hp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">5. Kerosene Is the Best
Way to Keep Fuel from Gelling</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 15.6pt;">
No. It can help, but this requires adding quite a bit of it. You'll need a
minimum of 30 percent kerosene to reduce fuel pour point by 15 degrees.
Kerosene also </span><span style="line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">doesn't</span><span style="line-height: 15.6pt;"> help very much with fuel line freeze-ups. It will lower
the cetane rating of diesel fuel, and fewer BTUs means less energy and lower
fuel economy. It also decreases lubricity. To best prevent fuel from gelling
up, use additives that are specifically made to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Diesel engine myths have
impacted perceptions about diesel vehicles for far too long. Drivers deserve to
know the truth, and hopefully the general public will come around to a more
accurate take on diesel performance parts and facts. From diesel performance
misconceptions to the best diesel engine stories and diesel performance parts
info, there's myth and then there's reality. Hopefully this article can help to
bust some of the more insidious diesel engine myths floating around, and

appearance, and unfortunately the “death wobble.” Since Dodge made the second
generation 2500 and 3500 trucks in 1994 they have experienced several
drivetrain issues that are usually isolated to the front of the vehicle. The “wobble”
usually occurs when a driver hits a dip or bump in the road causing the
steering wheel to bounce from side to side uncontrollably.<br />

<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Ball Joints- they must be tight and not severely
worn. Most Dodge owners usually have to replace ball joint regularly because of
all of the movement in the front end.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.7pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Tie Rods- must not be bent or have any play. If
a tie rod has a slight bend it can make the wobble more severe and even cause
uneven tire wear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.7pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Sway Bar End Links- these wear just like other
suspension components. Check for bends, play, and wear around the bushing.
While you are at it see if the end links are at or near a 90 degree angle
pointed upward. Some lift kits cause the end links to lean forward a great deal
resulting in premature suspension wear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 38.7pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Steering Box- look for leaks and check for any
play in the steering wheel. Unresponsive steering boxes can be dangerous and
add to the severity of the death wobble.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Now that we have addressed the major suspension issues
related to the Dodge Ram we can take a look at the solution for the “wobble.”
Here at <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/" target="_blank">Custom Diesel</a> we manufacture <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/cummins/dodge-steering-stabilizer" target="_blank">Dodge Steering Stabilizers</a>. The stabilizer
supports both frame rails preventing flex and also steadies the steering
gearbox. Our Stabilizer is made out of square tubing making frame rail flex
almost nonexistent. The pitman arm retaining nut is replaced with a larger one
allowing it to be supported by the bearing included in our kit. Installation is
very simple and takes 1-2 hours depending on the mechanics skills. If you have
any questions other than what is listed above feel free to give us a call at

If you own a newer diesel truck
equipped with an EGR system you will more than likely experience
problems with it the longer you drive it. The EGR system reintroduces
soot and other harmful diesel particulates right back into the engine
as opposed to getting rid of it in the exhaust. EGR systems use the
engines coolant to cool hot exhaust gases as they are being
reintroduced into the cylinder head. Those hot exhaust gases are
introduced back into the cylinder to reduce emissions. The exhaust
that is put back into the cylinder does not contain any oxygen
therefore reducing exhaust gas temperatures but in turn warming the
engine coolant. The warming of the engine coolant can cause blown
head gaskets or any other number of problems.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Custom Diesel makes a full line of EGR
deletes and can improve the performance of your diesel truck. By
deleting your EGR you increase the life of your engine by not
clogging it up with harmful contaminants. Are you tired of poor fuel
economy? Our customers have experienced fuel economy gains of up to 5
mpg with Custom Diesel EGR deletes. With the installation of an EGR
delete kit your engine coolant gets to do what is supposed to do cool
the engine. Coolant will be cooler and it reduces risks of blowing a
head gasket. Before the EGR delete engine coolant was doing twice the
work by cooling the engine as well as the exhaust causing stress on
the engine and all of its components. Some people ask when is the
best time to delete my EGR? The sooner the EGR is deleted the better
because that means less contaminants are entering your engine doing
harm. Don’t forget Youtube we have a great video on EGR delete
common questions be looking for more in the future.

Deleting the EGR on a
diesel engine creates several pros and cons.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pros</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Elimination of
harmful contaminates being reintroduced back into the engine.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Warm exhaust gases
being sent away from the engine through the vehicles exhaust system.
</span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Increase in the
Diesel mpg. Some people experience gains of almost 5 mpg making this
a very fuel efficient modification.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Engine coolant will
not be as warm because it doesn’t have to cool the exhaust like it
did when the EGR was still on the vehicle. </span>

<span style="font-size: small;">Cons</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Increase in EGT
because the non oxygen containing exhaust is not being readmitted
back into the cylinder to keep EGT’s low. </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some of the cons
would be created by the oil cooler on the 6.0 Powerstroke but they
can be prevented by regular maintenance. Other Diesel engines may
differ depending on design and year model.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Do you own or are you considering the
purchase of a 6.0 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Power_Stroke_engine">Powerstroke</a>?
If so Custom Diesel is the place to buy all the performance parts you
need. As most people know the 6.0 Powerstroke has been plagued by
problems from the factory however with a few modifications one can
have quite possibly the most reliable truck on the road. These
engines have been known for problems with their head gaskets because
of overheating mainly because of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation">EGR</a>
system. Like most diesel owners we all want a little more power than
we receive from the stock computer tunes this is where <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/">Custom
Diesel</a> can help for your 6.0 diesel solutions.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first thing we recommend is the
purchase of our Custom Diesel <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/ford-egr-delete-kits/egr-delete-packages/06-07-ford-6-0-egr-delete-kit-combo-with-sct-tuner.html">EGR
delete</a>. This delete package is one of the most critical parts to
giving your 6.0 Powerstroke that lasting performance we all want from
our diesel engines. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation">EGR</a>
system cools exhaust gases as it sends them back into the engine to
reduce emissions. When the exhaust is sent back into the intake it
gets clogged up with soot and other harmful diesel particulates. By
installing this delete kit you will do many things to help your
engine. Engine coolant will be cooler preventing the possibility of
blowing a head gasket resulting in costly repairs. You will receive
better fuel economy. Some customers have experienced gains of almost
5 mpg. The up pipe we manufacture can also increase turbo spool up
resulting in quicker boost.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Next on the list would be the install
of <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/engine-parts/gaskets-and-headstuds/03-07-ford-6-0-arp-pro-series-cylinder-head-stud-kit.html">ARP
head studs</a>. If you want to have the added power from a tuner head
studs are a must. With the added power from a tuner the factory head
bolts can become stretched and result in a blown head gasket with
high performance tunes. Head studs can handle large amounts of power
that can be made with the 6.0 engine. If you are going to do a head
stud install it is best to lift the cab so you will have more room to
work with. We also offer <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/egr-delete-kits/ford-egr-delete-kits/gaskets-and-headstuds">head
gaskets</a> in some of our solution kits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now that we have the cooling and head
gasket issue solved it is time to add the high performance parts. In
order to get the most from a tuner your truck must breathe well and
that means the addition of an exhaust and intake. At <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/">Custom
Diesel</a> you can order single or dual performance <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/exhaust-systems">exhausts</a>.
It’s just personal preference from there. Factory air intake boxes
are good for almost 500 horses in some cases but if you seek more
horsepower than that I’d recommend an <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/cold-air-intakes">aftermarket
intake</a>. We offer several different tuner options like the SCT SF3
programmer. It has three preloaded tunes with power levels capable
of up to 150 additional horsepower and even economy tunes of 75
horsepower. This tuner has the ability to upload custom tunes from
the internet also.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Other performance options would be the
addition of an aftermarket turbo as opposed to the stock turbo. One
we offer is the <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/ford-parts-kits/6-0-03-07/turbochargers/industrial-injection-03-04-garret-power-max-stage-one.html">Industrial
Injection Garret Power Max Stage One</a>. This Turbo will help
increase spool up by maximize power output but keeping turbo speeds
down for the same output. This turbo can support up to an additional
175 horsepower over stock and would be a good replacement for a stock
one also. All of these products are available on our <a href="http://www.custom-diesel.com/">website</a>
and are ready for purchase at anytime. This setup has been proven
over time to be reliable and make nice amounts of power also.</div>
