6.0L Powerstroke Diesel Specialist’s Basic Tool Kit This kit contains: – (1) 6.0L IPR Air Test Tool – (1) High Pressure Oil Rail Ball Tube Removal Tool Each year Motor Magazine selects the Top 20 most innovative new tools in the automotive industry. We are pleased to announce that the 6.0L IPR Air Test Tool was selected to receive this highly coveted award for 2014. If you work on 6.0L Diesels you know there is plenty of opportunity for those who are properly equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to tackle their unique problems. High pressure oil leaks are one of the major weaknesses of the 6.0L Diesel engine and commonly cause a hard-start or no-start condition when the engine is hot. In addition to the tools needed to make the repair we also have the necessary parts. Please see the 6.0L section. The IPR air test tool is the ticket to finding the location of the high pressure oil leak. The ball tube removal tool is essential for replacing the ball tube o-rings in the oil rails which are a common source of leaks. The IPR air test tool and ball tube removal tools are each described separately in more detail below. Note: Kit includes (1) Ball tube removal tool – (2) views shown in picture to show design. Which additionally includes an IPR socket which if you don’t have is almost essential because it allows the IPR to be removed and re-installed without removing the turbocharger. 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel – High Pressure Oil System IPR Air Test Tool – Test it the right way! THE PROBLEM: One of the more common issues plaguing 6.0L Powerstroke owners are hard hot-start issues. These issues are almost invariably caused by leakage in the engine’s high pressure oil system which operates the fuel injectors. Possible leakage locations include the high pressure oil pump itself, IPR Valve, STC fitting, branch tubes, standpipes, dummy plugs, oil rail ball tube o-rings, injector inlet seals, etc. If the leak or combination of leak sources is bad enough to prevent the system from building the 520 PSI required, the truck will not start under any condition – hot or cold. Locating the exact source of the leak(s) is the challenge. THE TRADITIONAL METHOD The method most technicians use to locate the source of the high pressure oil leak is to connect shop air to the high pressure oil system by way of an adapter which takes the place of the ICP sensor. This method has several problems associated with it. First, the IPR valve is normally open and must be closed by either commanding it closed with a scan tool, or by using a stand-alone IPR driver tool or no air pressure will build in the system. Connecting battery voltage directly to the valve will damage it. Even when commanded closed, IPR valves are not designed to seal completely meaning that they will always leak some air during the testing process. Unfortunately, the sound of one air leak will make it difficult or impossible to locate other leakage points – especially small leaks toward the rear of the engine such as cracked branch tubes. Finally, the latest updated standpipes have internal check valve which prevent reverse flow – rendering the conventional test method useless. OUR SOLUTION We have teamed with an innovative local company to bring you a new and improved method of locating these troublesome leaks. Our tool takes the place of the IPR valve meaning that the system can be completely sealed so that even the smallest leaks can be detected. NO Scan tool or IPR driver tool is required – potentially lower tool investment 2. Leaks of ANY size can be detected – because the IPR valve is removed from the system the fact that it never closes 100% and thus creates a distracting air noise during testing becomes a non-issue. In fact, it is possible to pressurize a system with shop air, close the shutoff valve on the tool, and leave the system pressurized overnight. We have seen systems that will hold the pressure until morning. No vehicle required – engine builders can quickly verify that an engine has no high pressure oil leaks before installing the engine into the vehicle where repairs are much more difficult 4. Allows systems with the latest updated standpipes to be tested. Every 6.0L Tech needs this tool! – ABOUT THE TOOL These tools are built to last a lifetime with professional grade components. They are constructed 100% in the USA (with the exception of a high-quality German made shutoff valve). The heavy-duty Eaton hydraulic hose is rated up to 5,300 PSI. Each tool includes three extra o-ring sets for the IPR fitting. Complete tool with IPR replacement fitting, heavy duty hose, and shutoff valve assembled (this listing). Most professional technicians who do a lot of work on the 6.0L Powerstroke should choose this option. The ability to “air-up” the system and then trap the air pressure by closing the shutoff valve allows even the smallest leaks to be detected. The absence of any unwanted air noises from leaking air lines connected with quick connect couplings makes locating the real problem easier. IPR replacement fitting only – This cost-saving option is intended for lower volume users such as individual truck owners. At less than the cost of one hour of diagnostic time in most areas, this tool can save your hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The complete system can be tested in under 20 minutes – in a professional repair facility this tool will pay for itself after one or two repairs. To connect, just remove the air cleaner, FICM, and coolant degas bottle (Turbo removal is NOT required). Remove the IPR valve and thread in the tool, hand tightening using the hose is sufficient. Connect shop air and listen for leaks. To locate the smallest leaks close the shutoff valve on the tool to seal the system. If desired a scan tool can be used to monitor air pressure in the system by observing the ICP sensor reading. This is not a required step. To prevent costly combacks we recommend air checking every 6.0L for high pressure oil leaks after any part of the system has been disassembled. As with any air tool, you will need to add your own air line quick-connect fitting. Since there are so many various air fitting in use, it is impractical to provide this part. It is strongly advised to avoid cranking the engine with this tool connected. Since the IPR valve is not in place to provide pressure relief, the high pressure oil pump would effectively be dead-headed and pump, system, tool, or personal damage could result. Auto repair activities are hazardous. Always wear protective eye-wear. This tool is intended for usage by trained professionals. By using it you are certifying that you have the necessary skills and training to do so safely. 6.0L High Pressure Oil Rail Special Tool. Improved Heavy Duty Tool. 1/2 Inch Drive. Fits 2003 – 2010. Performing the ball tube / oring repair on the 6.0L Powerstroke oil rails / manifolds requires a special tool to remove and replace the hex compression ring. This tool also aligns and centers the ball tube to the rail during the reassembly process. This is a one-time investment that can be used over and over again. Heat treated for strength and coated for corrosion resistance. Our ball tube removal tool is significantly beefier than most other tools found on the market to withstand the extreme forces sometimes required to loosen the retaining nuts. One of the key features is that it fits directly onto a 1/2 inch drive tool – no socket required. Many competitive tools require a 23mm socket which is an unusual size not included in many socket sets. Eliminating the extra looseness between a socket and the tool itself makes impact tools much more effective. Made in the USA – Designed to Last a Lifetime. PLEASE READ. We value your patronage. If a delay occurs that is longer than would normally be considered commercially acceptable, we will attempt to contact you. Please take a moment to read it. Local auto parts stores will not pay your travel costs to return a part either. Applications We guarantee our parts to be as described by part number, picture, and verbiage. While we do our best, vehicle applications, however, simply cannot be guaranteed. In most cases, we do not generate application lists. It is the nature of the auto parts business that, in rare cases, a part will not be correct for a certain vehicle even though it “should” fit. This may occur because of errors on application lists, mid-year production changes, changes to the vehicle since it was built, the fact that a car was not built for the US market, etc. If a part does not fit your vehicle, this does not mean the part is not as described. Problems can be solved much more easily when civility is kept intact. The item “6.0L Powerstroke Specialist’s BASIC tool kit Air test tool +Ball tube socket” is in sale since Tuesday, May 20, 2014.
