TUNING IS KILLING YOUR 6.7L POWERSTROKE

[isaiahandrada]

Rip Bill thank you for all your info and help to the community, you will be truly missed!!

Hi Bill, you likely don't remember me but you replaced head gaskets on my 6.4L. I was likely the last job you did in 2013 I picked the truck up late on Christmas eve. I was the old man you are talking about here. Had an H&S tuner. Always drove on setting 1 (Stock power) and for sure always towed my big camper in 1. But I was messing around with different settings and I forgot to change it back to 1 when I hooked up the camper. As I topped Mount Eagle I felt just a little sort of twitch. Stopped for the night and the next day coolant was low. Topped off and continued on the trip. Right about then I noticed the tuner in setting 2 and figured it out. That truck towed that big camper (17, 000 pounds) out to western Montana, up to Glacier NP, back to Yellowstone, and back home, all after blowing a HG, I just kept topping off the coolant. Lots of people ragged on the 6.4L but I thought it had great power. Two months after I got it back from you a drunk old woman hit us down in Fort Myers and they totaled the truck. I got a new 6.7L and proving there is no fool like an old fool I have it tuned. Tune is STOCK POWER, EGR OFF, DPF DELETED. I think that is a safe tune. but I'm 80 now so if it blows it blows.

A clean mild delete tune that follows stock power levels is the way to go! Get rid of the epa engine killing crap, and don’t turn your truck into a race car; you’ll have reliability and still adequate power!

The epa is killing the diesel industry

Hey bill!!! Awesome video!! I’ve got a 2000 F250, 7.3 with over 738, 000 miles and she purrs like a cat. 3k mile oil changes, oem filters every time. You couldn’t offer me a brand new one to replace it. Thanks for all your content on your videos. Keep them coming!!

Bill is a great guy. I never met him but love how real he is here. Solid and knowledgeable. Thanks for the info I learned alot here.

[curtismcintyre]

An Exhaust Temperature Guage will tell you alot about whether or not you are lugging the engine too. Thanks for the great videos Bill.

[ShotgunRumble]

thank you so much for being an amazing person who provides so much to the automotive industry! you've always put honesty first and we all love it! cheers from texas

I don’t even own a powerstroke and I find all your videos very educational and good knowledge to have

[bergankas]

Thanks for the education, I’ve still got a 7.3 that I’ve always run at in the highest gear possible when not towing anything. I hope I haven’t caused any problems. After watching this video, I will run it to a higher rpm before shifting gears.
Thanks again!

Love these longer chats.. Thanks Bill. No longer a powerstroke owner, but still a subscriber (since the old 7.3 vs 6.0 video series!) and enjoy the education. If I ever get myself into a 6.0, itll come from Arizona to see you.

[multitoolish]

Dude your a great teacher!! You have a great way of explaining stuff! I got a feeling a man could learn a lot just hanging around you.

[Rift]

Thank you Bill! As a 6.7 owner this is great knowledge.

[normanhodge]

Did bill pass away if so im sorry to hear he is so highly intelligent and loved hos craft terrible if no one followed his foot steps

Best description of this on the internet. I miss this guy, such a loss to our community.

Engine lugging is what killed tons of Subaru WRXs and STi. People getting a tune and then mashing the go pedal in 4th gear at 1500 rpm causing insane amounts of detonation and blowing the ringlands off or rod bearing apart.

[markbrandon]

Your concise words on early cylinder ignition is my envy. Having begged with people to understand the multi-injection algorithm (program) PRIOR TO THE PRIMARY or MAIN injection is so key to knowing how these computers and the piezoelectric injectors can get the extra fuel in but cannot stop the physics and chemistry of compression ignition PARTICULARLY EARLY and sending that force down the rod to beat the bearing half and squeeze that oil film away damaging the getting OWNERS KNOWING ALL THE FUEL IS NOT INJECTED IN "ONE SINGLE SHOT" is key for them to knowing that EVERY TUNER MANUFACTURER is managing BOTH Pre and Main Injection Programming... Thanks Bill for your Greatest Video Content for so many years....!!!!

Thank you Bill, for putting this in “Layman’s term”. I just got some Banks upgrades for my 2018 power-stroke. I think you explained everything i could have had questions about for the “non-deletion and deletion options”. It’s pretty much about the RPM’s!!

[wtbman]

Thanks for this explanation. I recently had my 6.7 tuned just to support the 2015+ turbo (mine's a '13) and I've been having frequent regen problems, even after a full flow test certified DPF cleaning. I decided to upgrade the turbo since the exhaust manifold studs started popping off and have read the stories about the early year turbo failures and wanted to bulletproof the exhaust system. The torque converter locks up earlier and shift points have been changed. I'll be sure to check if it's lugging too much or just try to keep the rpms up and see if that helps with the regen intervals. I'm to the point I may need a new Powerstroke doctor to fix it up since the shop that did all this work wants to avoid any responsibility...

[alexhatchard]

I absolutely agree Bill. I've had my 2015 6.7 for 6 years now. It's been deleted since 2016. Mild tuning, but always found the trans wanted the highest gear possible all the time. I run it in tow haul 90% of the time cause it just seems to run better in those higher rpm ranges. Love your content man, keep it coming.
