I think I am going to do a EGR delete this week and clean my turbo, what else would you recommend since I will have all this out. Any tips hints or any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Thanks

 

what is your truck year and any mods

hows the ECTvsEOT spread

If your spread is out mght want to think about a oil cooler you will be right there

 

If your going to be that deep do the oil cooler anyway, because you will be doing it in the future.

 

I agree its only 213.00 from tousley ford for a oil cooler I saw it on another thread today. on fte

what kinda egr deleate you going with

get a coolant filter on it if you dont already have one

 

I agree. If your that far into it already, heck do the oil cooler. Beats the heck out of tearing it all down again later. They don't cost that much. It's the labor.
STC fitting upgrade, maybe?

 

ok guys i'm doing the same thing this week. thanks for the heads up on the oil cooler. i bought a custom diesel egr delete kit, from the top of the top of the 6.0 page. good or bad kit? you can pm if you'd like. thanks

 

I would change to the extended life anti-freeze. Several good choices, and all are better than the gold coolant.

 

what year is your truck

I also went with a hpop screen,turbo mount gasket kit,intake manafold gasket kit.

you probably dont need the intake gaskets or the turbo gaskets if your carful I just like to be thuro

make shure you run some cleaner threw it and flush the cooling system goooooood before you dig in pull the driver block drain plug with the flushes
get some purple power to clean things up foam carb cleaner for the intake there a mess

that egr kit you got came out after I already had mine it looked very comparable to the sinister kit let us know how it fits
good luck

 

Just a quick question........If I am not mistaken, 2004 and below do not thave the SCT fitting problem, only 2005 and up?

-or am I off on this one?

Thanks

 

I think your right about the SCT fitting Joe after 05

 

2005,6,7 trucks have the Snap To Connect fitting.

Wow...just realized this is post #7000......only 52K more to catch up with Tim.

 

You didn't hijack bud. It's all pertinent info for the OP, and others doing the same. Thanks for the catch. I didn't see his MY in the OP's post so... Good input.

 

That's what its all about......It sure makes me happy I don't have to deal with that STC fitting.....one more problem I DONT have to worry about
