How to turn a 2017 Ford F-350 6.7L Power Stroke into a $15,000+ paperweight. 💀😭 Swipe to see the exact moment an engine dies.

Before coming to us, the owner tried a last-minute DIY oil filter swap. Even after being driven to the shop, we pulled that new filter off and it was completely bone-dry. No oil was reaching it.

We tried a baseline patchwork service—brake-cleaning the pan, reinstalling the filter, and adding fresh oil. We cranked it and revved it... Absolute zero oil pressure (0 PSI). The filter stayed dry.

The Horror Show (Watch the clips):
• Slide 1: The initial drop.
• Slide 2: Shining a light on it... that metallic shimmer is destroyed engine bearing material. The engine is literally eating itself.

The Diagnosis:
The oil pump is destroyed, the pickup tube is choked solid with sludge, or the bearing clearances are blasted so wide open that the engine can't distribute oil. It’s clattering right now from valvetrain collapse and severe mechanical friction.

Why not just clean it out?
The sludge migrated deep into the high-pressure oil galleries, valleys, cylinder head passages, and turbo lines. Cleaning this requires a full cab-off, frame-off teardown.

Right now, this Power Stroke is running strictly on remaining sludge film and diesel compression. It’s a ticking time bomb that will inevitably seize completely or throw a rod right through the block.

Moral of the story: A diesel oil change is expensive, but a new engine is devastating. Book your maintenance! 🛢️👨‍🔧

This 2004 F-250 came in rolling black smoke on acceleration. In Maricopa County, that is a guaranteed emissions failure, so we had to get to the root of the problem.

Instead of guessing and throwing parts at it, we used a magnet to test the internal VGT mechanism. As you can see in the first clip, the control needle should move freely. This one was completely frozen.

We replaced the unit, but first, we cracked it open to show the customer exactly why it failed. The side-by-side comparison shows a healthy turbo versus this stuck one. Heavy carbon soot and rust had completely seized the unison ring and locked up the turbine wheel side of the assembly, starving the engine of air and creating that black smoke.

Our policy is simple: when a customer asks to see the failed parts, we never deny them that opportunity. Transparency is everything to us.

The new turbo is installed, the exhaust is clean, and this 6.0L Power Stroke is officially ready for emissions.

This is why we never take a routine oil change for granted.

A 2010 6.4L Power Stroke normally holds 15 quarts of engine oil.

This one had over 25 quarts in it. 😳

After diagnosis, we found a failed fuel injector was allowing diesel fuel into the crankcase, causing the oil level to rise far beyond normal.

Sometimes a routine oil change can uncover a much bigger issue hiding underneath.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Throwing it back to a 2012 Ram 2500 6.7L evaporator core replacement we completed in the shop.

The Arizona heat is here, and A/C work like this ramps up fast this time of year.

The evaporator core itself isn’t always an expensive part—the labor is what makes this job major. On these trucks, the entire dash has to come out just to access the HVAC box.

While it was apart, we installed updated blend doors and new foam seals inside the HVAC housing. These internal upgrades aren’t visible once everything is reassembled, but they help improve airflow, temperature control, and long-term reliability.

Swipe through the photos to see the process. Stay cool out there, Arizona! ❄️🌵
