Looking for 6.0-friendly tech

Hello;
I'm looking for an independent technician knowledgeable on the 6.0 Powerstroke intensive coolant-flushing procedure in the Ann Arbor/metro-Detroit area. Just bought a F350 SuperDuty 6.0 with no problems other than a 12 degree ECT/EOT delta and I want to see if a good flushing will change that. Dealer won't do it, but they will install a EGR delete for me. Not yet.

Thanks for any recommendations!

If you was in the Lansing area I would reccommend Grand Ledge Ford.

Thanks!

Thanks BigRed.

I may contact them and see if their policy is any different than Varsity in Ann Arbor. Does anyone have experience with dealer attitudes on out-of-warranty vehicles? Wouldn't surprise me if the official policy was to try doing good flushes to effect a satisfactory repair while under warranty, but after warranty expiration, recommend only oil and EGR cooler replacement.
