I would stick with the truck and stick with this site and these guys will help keep you out of trouble. Seems like a lot of problems can be prevented if the truck is monitored properly. And at any point if you feel you have a problem just post in here and get instant feed back, most every problem with a 6.0L has been dealt with here.

thanks! your correct, the help here is fantastic! So.... how do I seperate the oil cooler from the upper housing? I have the assembly on the bench and have taken 2 internal bolts and 2 nuts off but it doesn't seem to want to budge.

haha yea they are a *&(*^ to get out! i just took a hammer to mine but i was also careful not to hit the housing. the new one i just took the vise on the bench and slowly pushed it in. make sure to clean everything outta there and make sure no debris went past that screen or else you might be replacing an IPR valve

So............I'm in the process of going back together with this thing. I took the battery's out of it a year ago and put'em in my tractor. Once I get them back in the truck is there anything special I need to do to the computer system to make it run? thanks
