Robin, I had the new one so I didn't have to pull the rockers. But it should have had a 7/8 bolt on the puller and they both were 3/4. Made it a little more difficult to pull them but not to bad, just fighting the wrench in the rockers was a little frustrating. I sent Clay a message about it so he can change it out for the next person. Is some one there to process orders for clay?

Hey guys, I'm going to do the coolant flush and I'm not sure how many gallons of coolant I need? Also I cant find it but I read some where on here to flush it with some thing to get the diesel out of the system but I cant remember what it was. Can some one help me out please? Thanks

Yes use 4 gallons but it has to be concentrate then top off with water. If you use the 50/50 mix you won't get a proper 50/50 mix because there will be about 1 gal of water left in the system that you can't get out. I would try to find a good concentrate elc. Here is some info Stewart posted. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...formation.html
I think there is some kind of flush additive but don't remember the name. Check with Ford if no one has the info.

You might be thinking of Simple Green, I think I've heard of some of the 6.0 guys using that to wash their coolant systems. IDK for sure but check on the 6.0 forum they have plenty of chances to get good at cleaning out their engines...lol

I'm looking at a few different options........
I've never heard of running simple green to flush out the coolant system. You do that to get all the diesel out?
What could happen if you keep driving with diesel leaking into the coolant?
What causes the cups to leak?
(sorry if I'm hijacking)

I think there might be some new tunes and single shots involved, too.
That sounds like a good plan.
What could happen if you keep driving with diesel leaking into the coolant?
More accumulation of fuel in the cooling system and the injector will eventually fail.
