6.0 Diesel TOP Coolant Leak Points!

[Music] what's up guys back to the channel man for a 6-litre I really like that front end that grill is sweet nothing about the best number one today's video I just wanted to talk about some of the common leak points for coolant on your six liter so some of the common ones I see are starting in the first the first one is we don't have a EGR cooler on this truck but for those that you have the quick disconnect orange or newer style blue one I often see those leak and get all crusty and you'll see coolant all down possibly around the bell housing or all in your engine Valley the other leak spot that I see is from this valve that allows cooling I'm sorry hot coolant to go through the heater core it is adjusted not adjusted but operates off of vacuum and sometimes just this little plastic stuff gets all corroded and pretty much just starts cracking and leakin so that's that's the second spot okay so the other leak point you're gonna come over and I mean this is pretty much for the guys who do not have the cooling system pressure tester these are the most common leak points that I see if you see my light just right this hose that is running next to your fuel injection control module it is this one here the lower one goes all the way over to the firewall and goes along the firewall to the heater core sometimes this hose likes to rust right on the end the corner of the victim you guys can see the corner of it right there just barely wanting to touch to see if I can get a different angle so you can see what I'm talking about okay so you guys can see the hose right right there coming off the bottom of the DES I'm sorry this one right here follow that all the way back and you can see that it is not touching the thick comb you can see the corner of the thick on there for the trucks that are hitting the thick um what I do is pull this clamp back take your hose and rotate this hose and put the clamp back and when you rotate it you're gonna see if I can get this light back in there so you guys can see yeah perfect what you guys will wind up doing is you'll see this hose come up like this it'll be mashed down on the thick um but when you rotate the hose you can see how it just came up because it just naturally wants to be up the hose will be up here like that so it's a real quick easy thing to do if it's a little too close when you're going down the road and it's bouncing and doing all this hay get you like another inch of play up in there and not have to replace that hose it can be done I've done it when it's hot it's a real pain but you definitely can get it out of the truck without taking the turbo off so since we're right over here the fourth spot that I've see is actually right at the D gas bottle it likes to crack right here and I actually have one here on the table that I did not want to throw away to the law to use it for illustration okay so here's the bottom of the D gas bottle and look we have to show you guys before Justin see the crack check your D gas bottle and see if you got a little crack that's starting to build if you put a light down in this section you'll be able to really see if there's any fractures you know right in here they've started off small and I just see them grow like all the way to here is where I've seen it so yeah that's the fourth spot and let me show you a spot number five [Music] all right we're on the back this one I do not see oh look at that No King Ranch 2026 7a 1 this one doesn't usually happen I have seen it a few times so that's why I wanna I want to bring it to everybody's attention but you can see where I'm laying down here's the lower hose and if you look this one's actually hitting it fairly you can see the lower hose almost steering here and this one has a protective shielding over it I can see I can't really get you a good shot but you can get the point the gear pretty much rubs a hole right where this plastic this plastic convolute is on this hose it's a stock hose so it came like that from the factory hope you guys want to go and check your truck to see how close it is to your your steering gear but yeah that's that's cool link number five just wanted to drop a quick vid for everybody trying to keep their six liters on the road my second favorite besides the six seven which is my number one yeah yeah tell me what you guys think about this in the comment section below if anybody's leaked from 5 4 3 2 or 1 they're 6-litre drop me a a thumbs up and subscribe too if you have already hasn't alright you guys I'll see you next Friday thanks for watching see ya [Music]
