Ya that is what I want, but I can buy a shop for that price

 

Well here we go again.

Oil Cooler has to be plugged again on the coolant side.

I am gearing up to buy the air oil cooler from BullitProofDiesel, which is still in testing, maybe end of this week? I hope, I have been calling every week.

Ordered a coolant filtration system from the dieselsite.com
New Water pump and gaskets
Ordered the intake gaskets, turbo o-rings, fuel system seals

I think there are a few other things, but hopefully this fixes the issue, I'm really getting tired of messing with it.

 

Hey beard do u know if the edge performance modules are good on these trucks (well an 7.3 02). Idk if uve seen anything on forums about them, I heard they used to kill trannys idk if it's still a problem or not. Got any info for me maybe? If not where's the best place to look.

 

They still kill trannys

I would go to powerstrokenation or powerstroke.org and look around

 

Innovative Diesel, Spartan, or TS I think the better end of the programmers out there. Stay away from Edge.

H&S also makes a good tuner.

 

good to know thanks

 

Fishy.. look into a DP tuner or TS chip for that '02.

Sorry to hear about your problems Zach. Is that a "job 1" truck?

 

it is but i really dont think that has much to do with my issues.

 

Working on it this weekend...



Check out this cavitation in the timing cover...


Timing cover off


Oil pump


Valley and HPFP


Check out the low rider ranger in the back ground

 

Holy CHRIST!!! You're never afraid of a job, that's to say!

 

Oh man that doesn't look fun.

 

Looks fun, hope you figure out what is wrong.

 

Jeez man, I feel bad for ya! It seems you're having nothing but bad luck/never ending issues with this truck. Hope you get it all straightened out to be the reliable and powerful truck it should be, but if anyone can, it's you.

Keep us updated!

 

dude, i hate to see this..... are you ever gonna listen to me???

 

is there somewhere i can see some nice big clear photos of the ranger?

 

what are you telling him nick?

 

Nice truck, like the switch panel in the dash, sweet stuff...

 

you have got ***** zach for digging into an engine like that...id never do that

 

Man you didnt mess around,its scary how torn down that diesel is.

 

Looks like that grill on the hood makes life a tad easier...You have to tear apart the whole front on mine to do anything like that.

 

I hope this fixes your problems this time around zach. Been reading about the issues your having on PSN. I'm hoping by the end of the year to purchase a 6.4. Been drooling over a sonic blue 08 6.4 with a manual. Not sure sure if I want an auto again or go manual. Probably will opt with the automatic. Good luck man. Hope it works.

 

makes sense... everyone is having tons of problems with these things and people just continue to buy the junk... guess you wanna see if you can fix one too huh?

 

lol

thats friggin horrible cavitation in the pump! i have never really heard anything bad about these engines until this thread and i started to do some research... and lets just say i am never buying a truck with this 6.4 in it

 

I'm looking at getting a newer diesel. Mine has 200000 miles of hard work on it and it is taking its toll. Needs more work on it than I care to drop money on. I would like to have a crew cab.

I'm not getting a Dodge. I drive one everyday for work with a cummins in it. Its an 06. The motor is nice of course but the truck is junk. I don't like duramaxes. They have a crapload of problems too. Not one diesel engine out there is without their own problems. All newer engines have their quirks.

So what might you suggest then might I ask?

 

dont ask that!!! he will say a gasser! lol
