coolent and surge
Hey guys today I worked on my 04 6.0 when i pulled the degus bottle red coolent came out I dont use anything but preimum gold I had jiffy lube do the last oil change and had them put in the ford oem always oil filter with rotella 15-40 took the truck back today they said and showed me they dont use anything but gold but they could pull the recorded video to see. what would cause this ? we checked the tranny dip stick and it was red not milky same with the oil dip. Benny also I cleaned the EBP and tube some debre and black soot but not clooged went to ford today to find out the ICP is on the rocker cover so this truck is the later 04, tomarrows job is the MAP sensor and tubeing and less bleeding to the hands LOL. jiffy did top every thing off

I hope your going to Install a New Radiator first or the flush will be a Waiste of time
You have a Internal Trans cooler in the radiator Just follow the lines from the passengerside External trans filter to the front of truck you will see Trans lines goes into the Radiator
I think Mark K. Said this was to help heat the Trans Fluid why it goes into the radiator

If the tranny cooler is compromised it has nothing to do with the plastic.
If the plastic cracks then coolant leaks out.

I believe Mishimoto sells a decent radiator also. It is also all aluminum - for those who are interested.....
I don't think there have been too many issues w/ OEM radiators, but haven't seen anything bad said about the two mentioned aftermarket ones either.

Mishimoto as mentioned makes an all aluminum radiator. OR quick service companies like Radiator Express also make them.
Ebay has some too, but might seem sketchy to order from there.
