How do you replace the crankshaft position sensor on 2005 f350 ford powerstroke?

The crankshaft sensor is located behind the air conditioning compressor, which is on the front of the engine. You can replace it using a socket. Tight area. Have replaced one on a 2005 F-350 6.0 powerstroke. Good luck.


Is the powerstroke 6.0 diesel any good?

The 6.0L Powerstroke diesel engine does put out good power but there are much more better engines that the 6.0L Powerstroke. Some problems consist of blown turbos, blown injectors, and broken seals. I know guys that have between 250,000 miles to 300,000 on their 6.0L Powerstrokes with minimal problems. My 6.0L is a 2007 model and right now it has 55,000 miles and I've had no problems yet. It's proven to be reliable to me so far.


What is the best Ford diesal engine?

So far, the 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. But the old 7.3L PSD is running a tight race with the 05 to 07 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8s. They have been proven to be reliable. The only bad 6.0L PSDs were the 03.5 and 04s. Every Ford diesel made has had some good reliability. If you get an upgraded turbo on the 6.4L and a DPF Delete Kit you are good to go for a high mileage diesel. The 6.9L IDI Ford/International diesel was a great engine. Also, the 7.3L IDI Ford/International diesel engine. The 6.9L IDI and 7.3L IDI didn't have a turbo OR great power, but they were great engines. I am liking the new 2011 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 that is in the new Super Duty trucks. It seems like it will be a very reliable and long-lasting high-mileage engine. There really isn't a "best" Ford diesel now days, but the early 6.0Ls and the 6.4Ls are definetly the pieces of sh*t in this round!

What is the best diesel truck?

You have 3 different truck choices to choose from, and 3 different diesel engines to choose from. It's all up to you. I prefer Ford's 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. I'll help you make a decision. Read below. FORD 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 - Ford really has confidence in this new engine. They have gave over 20 trucks with this engine out to Halliburton, Florida Power and Light Company, Reynolds Ashpalt Company, K&K Ranch, and Texop Construction. So far the trucks have around 30,000 miles and no problems. The engine really looks good on paper, but only time will tell to see how well this new engine is. I myself really have confidence in it. (note: Ford's diesel is no longer made by Navistar/International. Ford is building their own in-house diesel engine now.) CHEVROLET/GMC 6.6L LML Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 - This also is a new engine. It produces slightly more power than the 6.7L Powerstroke from Ford but who knows which engine really is better. I feel that General Motors is finally catching up to making a good truck like Ford has been doing for over 50 years. This new 6.6L Duramax should be a good engine, but once again, only time will tell how good this engine is. DODGE 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 - I have no doubt that Dodge and the 6.7L Cummins can't even hold a candle to Ford and GM's diesels. The 6.7L Cummins is known for many problems. I'll name a few: mushrooming heads, turbo failure, clogged DPF (diesel particulate filter), cooling manifold failure, bad fuel economy, etc. Also, Chrysler and Dodge's quality ratings are down and it really shows when you put some wear and tear on to a Dodge pickup truck. Like I said above, I am prefering Ford's new 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel. (note: this was written Thursday, July 29, 2010 at approximetly 9:54 PM.)
