Bulletproof your 6.0L Ford Powerstroke

Is this what is needed to bulletproof the 6.0 and is it a good price?

Get one step closer to making your 6L powerstroke diesel bullet-proof. A well-built 6.0 liter will run circles around any 7.3. Fix it for good when you get this bulletproof egr cooler, arp head studs and new oil cooler installed with the Total Solution Kit. 6.0L

Ford Powerstroke Solution Kit includes everything needed to fix the major problems with the 6.0 Liter Diesel engine. No more overheating, costly blown head gaskets blown egr coolers or messy coolant leaks. And, if you haven't experienced these problems yet with your Powerstroke you likely will in the future.
Total Solution Kit includes:
Bullet proof EGR Cooler
--Black Onyx Head Gaskets by Sinister MFG Company or OEM head gaskets
-Black Onyx Exhaust Gaskets by Sinister MFG Company
ARP Stud Kit
New Ford Factory oil cooler kit
New Ford Factory intake gaskets
New Ford Factory turbo gasket kit
Coolant flush and silicate free coolant installed

All of this installed by a Ford Factory Trained Diesel Technician of 13 years and Diesel Performance Installer for the last 10 years in privately owned and insured shop specializing in Ford Powerstrokes. Installed price at Lucky's Diesel Shop is $3800.

You should talk about this in 6.0L Power Stroke and see what they say about Black Onyx Head Gaskets

That is a steal. What about machining the heads? I went ahead and had mine done while they were in there.

I'd do the same whether they needed it or not, just peace of mind.

When it comes to the gaskets on these trucks, OEM is best. Black Onyx, Victor Reinz, and a few others out there don't seem to last as long as OEM.

If it were me, I'd do away with the EGR cooler unless you're in an area where they do emissions testing on diesels.

And yeah, for $3800?!? That's a steal, I know places that won't do it for anything less than $4500 to almost $6000.

Agree in the OEM gasket and EGR. I was going to use the black onyx, but we decided to use OEM instead. EGR gone as well.
