SO you have a Round EGR Cooler and those are TUFF Leave it or Deleate it
For the HPOP I would get the Diesel site one they sound like the issues have been taken care of
http://www.dieselsite.com/2003-20046...lpumphpop.aspx
For the Oil Cooler I like OEM
One thing the 6.0L Likes is Clean Fresh Oil
Peresonaly I don't like the BPD Air to Oil Coolers they leave ALOT of Dirty and Sheared Oil in the system each oil change. With the BPD setup you would have Approx 30 qts of Oil in there But you will only be able to drain around 15qts at oil change time so that leaves ALOT of Sheared and Dirty oil in there to cause trouble for Injectors and Engine parts and basically accelerates wear on this stuff.
SHure you could figure out a Way to modify the BPD Oil Cooler to get all the oil out but your oil change cost will Double Kinda pointless to spend that kinda money on something that needs Modified or IMO it does
The OEM Oil cooler works good just have to keep it from plugging so Flush the cooling system and add a Coolant filter

To add to your List I would figure in a High Output alternator with Wire upgrade
Your batteries and FICM will last longer
DC Power makes Good alternators
But they always back ordered and some of the guys here have found alternate solutions
I run a DC Power and it works Great Cold starts are smoother and the batteries get charged right back up fast

Blade, he has a bypass oil filter that should filter down to 2 microns. With that, I wouldn't be concerned with the bpd oil cooler ...... As long as there is enough room under the hood for all that crap.
Agreed, get ride of the egr cooler.

You wont gain anything with a BPD Round EGR Cooler
the round Coolers are what BPD modeled there Square updated coolers around
But to each there own seems like your mind was already made up
If you had the Later style egr cooler I would be right with ya on the BPD EGR Cooler

So I got Curios and googled it LOL HAHAHA You guys know me Right!!
I wondered How much oil (The Rate) at which oil would flow thru a 1 micron filter I assume Not fast
Then I found a Air powered Centrifuge that spins it and Cleans the Oil I like it so Far
Check it out what you guys think??its Spendy at $$ 550.00 but looking at there samples this thing is Promising

Benny, that looks interesting. That's something I will have to ask a friend about that owns a trucking company. I think 40k is a stretch though even for a synthetic. I could see 10k easy enough.

I just read that 40K I don't buy that with this truck for the shear factor
But 10K should be easy
I thought it looked Cool
Those Color samples Looked Sweet where they did it for 1 Hour
