Thanks....

I was just sitting here cruising the forum and thought I would take a moment and thank you guys for all the valuable advice I've received here recently. I've been a member here for almost 7 years, and came in here on a Saturday about a month ago to figure out why I had oil in my coolant. I received very timely and helpful responses that set me on a course to correct the problem.

I've owned this truck since new and have always kept up on maintenance but never took to this site in the obsessive way that I have as of late. Within the last month I've: installed a full Bulletproof kit with remote oil cooler, upgraded EGR cooler and bypass oil filtration along with a Dieselsite coolant filter kit, blue fuel pressure spring upgrade, added the Edge Insight CTS to supplement the 3 Autometer gauges I've had for years, replaced my Diablosport Predator with a SCT with Matt's SRL tune, added the MBRP cat delete pipe to the 4" system I've had for years, installed a pair of DieHard Platinum batteries, exchanged the Ford Gold coolant for Zerex's Cat-approved formula, and begun using Power Service Diesel Kleen grey bottle at fill-ups.

In short, I've learned a lot here over the years but the last month has been a huge advancement for my understanding of my 6.0. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to those of you that have provided some valuable advice to me- I won't name names because I am sure I would leave someone out. Hopefully I will be able to step in and pay if forward and help someone else...

Agreed. I've done a Bulletproof oil cooler and EGR upgrade. Scanguage II and blue spring install just by combing through threads. I do appreciate the help from all you guys.

You just reminded me that I also did the blue spring upgrade this past month!
