Follow up; post cooler replacement
This past May I added four additional gauges over the mirror, EOT,ECT,Fuel pressure and voltmeter. That was when I noticed the 35 plus delta. In June, I replaced oil cooler with "new" OEM cooler, replaced EGR cooler with BPD cooler, turbo oil drain tube and hardware, Blue spring, and the other typical upgrades and checks. Prior to work did flush, restore and restore plus and many, many flushes, then replaced with ELC after. Before I blah, blah too much, let me get to the meat of it. I installed a Dieselsite coolant filter 85,000 plus miles ago and had found numerous tablespoon fulls of sand during first 3-4 filter changes and not much of anything since. Did regular service today including coolant filter and cut it open for inspection. I found about 1/2 teaspoon of sand that was slightly rusty colored. Other than that, my 6.0 is great; delta is 2-5, fuel pressure averages 65-68psi. She now has 95K and I am very happy I installed the coolant filter and love my FORD. Just thinking that with the restore and numerous flushes, a little more casting sand broke loose from cooling surfaces. Food for thought for those that think it's too late to install a coolant filter.
