COMMON PROBLEMS OF DIESEL 2003-2007 FORD 6.0L POWERSTROKE

Leaky Radiator

Your engine could overheat and sustain permanent damage if the radiator leaks and coolant leaks out. Observable symptoms include an elevated temperature gauge reading or pools of coolant beneath your car. To stop additional problems, our crew at ABCO Diesel will remedy your radiator leaks precisely.

Fuel injector control module

Fuel injector control is the responsibility of the FICM. It may have rough idling, difficult starting, or no start at all if it’s not working properly. To fix or replace the FICM, our skilled diagnostics team at ABCO Diesel will make sure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.

Oil Cooler Failure

Engine damage and overheating can result from an oil cooler that is either blocked or malfunctioning. High oil temperatures and potential engine shutdowns are symptoms. In the event of an oil cooler failure, our trained specialists will diagnose the problem and repair it using only high-quality components.

Fuel Injectors

The 6.0L Powerstroke’s fuel injectors are sensitive to fuel quality. Poor-quality diesel or oil can cause them to fail, leading to rough idling, misfires, or poor fuel economy. ABCO Diesel provides professional injector cleaning, maintenance, or replacement services, keeping your engine running smoothly.

Head Gaskets

Blown head gaskets are a known issue due to cylinder head bolts stretching and losing their clamping ability. If you notice coolant in the oil or white smoke from the exhaust, it could mean a head gasket failure. Our team will tackle this problem head-on, replacing gaskets and ensuring your engine is sealed and secure.

Stuck Turbo Vanes and Turbocharger Issues

Turbochargers on the 6.0L Powerstroke can suffer from carbon build-up, leading to stuck vanes. This can cause your turbo to over-boost or underperform, reducing your truck’s power. Our turbo repair services are second to none, ensuring that your engine regains its lost power and efficiency.

Cam Position Sensor (CPS) Failure

A faulty cam position sensor may lead to misfires, hard starts, or complete engine failure. Our technicians at ABCO Diesel can replace faulty CPS sensors quickly, preventing further interruptions to your driving.

DPF and Exhaust Manifold Issues

Clogged Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and cracked exhaust manifolds can reduce your truck’s performance. You may notice black smoke, reduced fuel economy, or loud exhaust noises. ABCO Diesel provides expert exhaust system repairs, restoring your engine’s power and efficiency.
