Inspected oil leak area and found that the build up was near the power steering pump. Cleaned off surrounding area and found that oil was coming from above pump near valve cover solenoid seal. Raised engine rpm to 2000 and found that engine oil is leaking from the cam solenoid seal and leaking down onto the rest of the engine and frame. Also found that power steering flange was leaking the o ring. Removed and replaced flange o ring to verify main leak source. Recommend replacement of valve cover gaskets and cam solenoid seals. After replacement of valve cover gaskets and seals, road tested vehicle and verified no more leak is present at this time.

A CP4 “disaster prevention kit” for the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke is designed to protect your fuel system from catastrophic CP4 high pressure pump failure by catching metal debris before it reaches injectors, rails, and the fuel tank. These kits don’t stop the pump from failing, but they dramatically reduce the repair cost if it does. ———————————————————————————————- Core Components • Billet return-side filter head • Accepts a standard spin-on fuel filter (usually a Donaldson P550943, 9-micron, 99% efficiency). • Captures metal debris coming from a failing CP4 pump before it reaches the tank. • Spin-on fuel filter (Donaldson P550943) • High-efficiency filter included with most kits. • OE-style quick-connect fuel lines • Pre-made lines for easy installation and proper routing. • Includes a fuel supply split-off located ~25 inches from the CP4 pump to reduce contamination risk. • Bypass/return filtration system • Routes CP4 return fuel through the added filter before it goes back to the tank. • Prevents debris from circulating through the entire fuel system.
Inspected oil leak and found oil leaking onto bell housing area and dripping down to pan area, using camera found oil leak looks to be originating from Valley of motor area. Tear down is needed to verify oil leak source. In process of tear down, recommend replacement of CCV filter and various gaskets needed. Oil leak looks to be mainly originating from Turbo pedestal area, cab removal is required to repair oil leaks, recommending replacement of CCV filter and related gaskets as well as replacing Turbo pedestal and gaskets, and installing a "disaster prevention kit" to save fuel system when CP4 fuel pump fails due to mileage.
Remove oil filter adapter, clean block and oil filter adapter Re install with new gasket.

We first scanned for codes and found an open circuit code for all 8 injectors. We then removed one glow plug and checked the resistance in the glow plug and found that it is with specification. We then cycled the ignition on with a multi meter connected to the glow plug wire and found it did not have power. We then un plugged the glow plug control module and found no obvious faults or bad connections. We then checked the wires at the control module to the glow plugs and found that they all had an open circuit. We then located a brake out connector in the engine compartment for the glow plug harness. We checked it and found it was not plugged in correctly. We reconnected the brake out plug and retested the glow plugs and found that they are now operating according to specification.
We scanned for codes and found a invalid data received code in the ECM. We then checked for power and ground at the ABS control module and found both are present, we also checked wiring near the module and under the hood related to the ABS. We then test drove the vehicle and monitored live data and found that the speed sensor at the differential is erratic and momentarily drops off. We need more time to properly diagnose this problem.
We put the vehicle up on jack stands and unplugged the speed sensor, connected a scope to the sensor and found a normal wave form with the vehicle in drive. We then monitored wheel speed data while wiggling the the harness for the rear wheel speed sensor. We found that the signal stops when pulling on the harness. We found a faulty connector in the harness in between the fuel tank and the frame. We repaired the harness, test drove the vehicle, and found that the wheel speed signal is now consistent, and no codes returned.

We went to test the a/c and found the vehicle will not blow air at all. We then went to visually inspect the blower motor and found the connector to be worn out causing a bad connection. With slight pressure we could get the blower to work but it is very weak indicating a worn blower motor as well. We recommend replacing the blower motor and connector to start. After repairs are made we will continue to check the a/c system to make sure it is blowing cold. After our repairs were made we found the a/c system blows cool but not cold we then with a black light inspected the system for leaks and found a hose that goes from the compressor to the condensor is leaking. This piece also has a seperate line that goes from the compressor to the line with the low side service port on it and it is all one piece. We recommed an a/c service and replacing the line assembly.
