Sometimes you just got to Dive In

And the Tunner came out the closet or Did I miss that LOL

Now Lets Hope they Don't Find a Bad Head At 1K Apeice

You Should STRONGLY CONSIDER Doing a COOLANT Flush BEFORE It Goes In

Stuff a Hose In IT!! Open the Drains and let it RIP FULL ON

since you cant run it Much With Blown EGR Cooler

Just Tell them you want to drain cooling system Water ASAP Block Drains and ALL When you get there It will rust Fast So Just get water Out



Your Main Goal is to end up with a Spotless cooling system

Lots of ShOPS tell you how well they will Flush and all they Get is a Spill-N-Fill

The Best thing here is to end Up with ELC

ELC=Extended Life Coolant


Oh Ya Tell them you still WANT The EGR VALVE INSTALLED and Plugged IN!!

What is the purpose of keeping the valve plugged in?

Add $400.00 More for a Tuner to shut your CEL Off with the EGR Deleate

You could wait till your Done and see what Happens but 06 usualy triggers a CEL

He has to Pull the Injectors out or should

But may leave in to save Him a Penny IDK



But Now would be a Great Time to Clean Injector Spool Valves up

Stiction Fix
Must read, Instruction and Video

Also be a Great Time to change Top Injector Oring to the HPO Rail when you have the injector out

53k, Im gonna have them dissemble turbo clean etc. Injector test and new o-rings. Basically the quote they gave my included a 6.0 solution kit. Has a bunch of o-rings and gaskets in it. Not sure if all of it is necessary though.

Also ford has an updated turbo drain tube and feed tube, are these things i should consider?
