@powerstrokehelp I’ve seen over a handful do this in the last couple years. Find needle bearings in the bottom of the oil pan and a piece of the roller. They usually still run to. They pop back in the intake, too. The most common failures i’ve seen are injecotrs, egr coolers, and injector drive modules (fuel injection control module). Its not that common of a problem compared to the other problems like you said though. I’m not sure about reliabilty versus the ford? version.
@brainklean Wow really. I have spoken to several international techs over the years and they have said that the VT365 is somewhat more reliable in the international? configuration. Have you found this to be true? What failures have you seen the most?
How common is a failed lifter? I’m looking between a 7. 3 and a 6. 0 right now, i really love the 6. 0L and am leaning towards it because of the? performance but don’t want to have a 20K + paper weight.
i’m hoping the owner scrapped that engine and went for a rebuilt with ARP head studs and? a upgraded EGR or EGR delete. I have a 2006 F350 and it’s been nothing but trouble. Love the truck but the engine is the weakest link
I hate getting on the phone to make that call!!! Some? times it goes well and other times. . . not so well. I always just keep telling my self “it was broken when we got there” (Roof repairs/contracting) Keep up the great videos man.
how much did all this cost vs buying a new block and proceeding that way? i would imagine this was cheaper or other wise you wouldnt have went through all this just? to charge a customer more money.
Pretty interesting? video. Good to know.
@brainklean No not that often at all. Every once? in a while. That would be more of a ford failure.
@brainklean Do you see head gasket failures in the? vt365 very often?

I’ve seen quite a few vt365’s do? this.
@00G000 Yes that is true? but in the 6. 0 the mesh is very coarse so fine metal fragments will pass thru.
I always thought that every oil pump has a screen that prevents debris from? entering the oil pump itself?
How do I? get a job at your shop? lol
@FoxRider746 Lifter failure? is not common.

@Bullshitkorner That is exactly what he did? and it is still out running miles today.

@mstep3 I have never even lifted? the hood on a dodge truck.
@Kurtanius21 All my family are in the teaching fields from my grandmother to my uncle and my? father. It runs in our blood.
@1998F150WES Be very careful? because a sticking injector can burn a hole in the piston under load.
@moemaila I have never? even opened the hood of a duramax.
would you do work on? duramax?

Thats the problem nowadays man. everythings? designed to be used up and thrown away. not rebuilt
good to know sumone out theres gettin it fixed right without just throwin a? new motor in. . awesome business
Jasper does reman them with over 30 upgrades. I have? been told the 6. 7 has 30,000 PSI out of the fuel injectors
