03 6.0 loud thump from intake""""LOUD THUMP"""

[ROWDYRACKS.COM]

well found the thumping issue... a rocker on the passenger side was split right in half... pilled both valve covers and found the pass side exhast vale rocker had a big split right up the middle....so off to ford to hope they have the part.. im stuck here in tuscon right now so jim click ive heard is one of the better places to vist for psd parts... and i am also concerned about the egr delete kit.. when you look down into my intake its bad... just coated in black goo oil sludge carbon discusting mess.. i figure thats the reason my truck is also throwing ait 2 codes constantly.

i fix one thing and another breaks. wonder whats next.. .....so does any one have any advice on miracle in a bottle cures for cleaning up my intake.... i mean ive decarbonized gas motors but what can be done on a diesel.. also sludge. how do i flush this motor out really well. someone said a couple of quarts of atf in the oil run it and change it.... any advice thanks so much for the help...

I have heard that Nate does an engine flush thats suppost to make it run like a new engine. I would talk to Dan I think he was the one that had it done and posted up about it.

Juding by what i found in the oil filter when he bought the thing, and the way he said how bad the heads were, it needs a tear down and hot tank...

Yes, I did have the intake and oil flush/cleaning done at Nate's. The product is made by BG and it was a completely different truck when I got it back. I would definately call Mike at Strictly Diesel (480-922-8768) and describe what you have and ask if the treatment I had done would be the best way to address the issues. When you call talk to Mike and tell him it's Dan from APG and he will know who it is.

If the EGR delete was a total hack you might want to look at some of the new systems that are out on the market now.

The Crank Case vents into the intake. This may cause alot of what you see in the intake.

Go to NAPA, and buy DEEP CREEP (made by seafoam) and use it to spray into the intake. And do it when the engine is warm.

DO NOT put ATF into your oil. You will need an engine if you do! I would NOT NEVER put an oil additive into these engines.

Just change your oil. The oil has detergents to clean things anyway, it is the lack of oil changes that makes the sludge.

As for a miracle cure, there is NONE. If there was it would cost alot.

But I personally like DEEP CREEP and SEA FOAM.

Sorry to hear about your issue, I know from experience that that is not fun. Def look into the BG products though. They work very well.
