2023-07-18 23:18:39 +0000 UTCCan’t tell you about the value cover bolts, because I sold my 2003 F250 in 2004 with only 10k miles on it.

2023-07-18 17:31:20 +0000 UTCHad a "Wes Moment" yesterday on the way to the grocery store--was passe by a straight-pipe Pete. Not an Ag truck, though--a legit day cab pulling a 20 yard gravel dump trailer.

2023-07-18 14:45:45 +0000 UTCThanks for the video Wes! I don’t have anything to add about 6.0s or stripped valve cover bolts. I just love your videos, whatever you’re working on. You could build a bird house and I’d be fascinated!
Daniel Peterson
2023-07-18 12:32:09 +0000 UTCI've owned a 6.0 since 2010. Had the valve covers off NO less than 6 times. What happened to me was taking off the nut that holds the ficm bracket. The stud underneath the nut comes lose first. Then I'm stuck in limbo trying to hold the stud and untighten the nut. When finally it all comes out I have a new spring and a stripped out hole. Made me want to puke. YES! The valve cover bolts strip very VERY easy! That top creeper looks amazing. Having done it standing on a 5 gallon bucket. I bet its worth every penny!

2023-07-18 04:44:43 +0000 UTCNot a mechanic just a former owner of a F250 with a 6.0 liter. I installed a coolant filter when I purchased the unit second hand. What I remember reading was a hypothesis that the coolant was breaking down. When this happened debris from the breakdown would plug the holes in the oil cooler. Whether there is any validity in this information I have no idea. Adding a coolant filter was a comparatively low cost option for me. Truck served me well. Pulled my fifth wheel camper all around the western US. BTW very enjoyable video. You do such a good job of editing. Thanks

2023-07-18 03:43:06 +0000 UTCUhoh the 6L boys found out you can whisper life into Ford's. Think I'll just keep driving my 6.9 till they stop making Diesel fuel.

2023-07-18 03:18:58 +0000 UTCAny serious work on these requires removing the cab, which really isn't too difficult.

2023-07-18 02:55:17 +0000 UTCI would have been tempted to cut a hole in the floor for access. Both sides!
Bill Rutherford
2023-07-18 02:54:48 +0000 UTCOne thing you could maybe try is 1/4” trilobular bolt these bolts tap their own threads in aluminum and are used commonly in small engine applications, and being 1/4” would put it a little over the 6mm thread size, then put a small steel sleeve over it that has an od similar to the Id of the grommet and the same length as the original shoulder on the original bolt, it may save you some headache

2023-07-18 02:03:39 +0000 UTCI really have not had to mess with the 6.7s yet. the 6.4 was insane. Jack up the cab to remove the turbo.

Watch Wes Work
2023-07-18 01:57:00 +0000 UTCI used to at least give Ford a little bit of credit because they didn't build the engine and they had to cram it into that engine compartment, but with the 6.7 they have zero excuse and it's worse......

2023-07-18 01:53:09 +0000 UTCDown here in Florida where natural selection doesn't take them out as easily (no road salt to rust them out) I still see quite a few 6.0's on the road, thankfully I don't have to work on them anymore.... Instead I get the pleasure of working on the 6.7L powerstroke 😡😡😡
