Hello guys, I've got a customer at the shop who has an 06 F-250 with a 6.0. He wants new head gaskets and some of the other known issues addressed right away. I know what has to be done to bullet proof it for the most part and I was wondering if anyone has bought just a kit that included everything. I've been looking around and I think I'm going to go with this kit. Does anyone see anything wrong with it? Or perhaps know of a better option?

 

Seems like a very good deal and has all the right stuff. I don't know what they mean by "upgraded oil cooler" - I think a new Ford oil cooler is all that is necessary (maybe they mean the stainless screen mesh). I personally prefer the bulletproof EGR cooler (bulletproofdiesel.com) to a delete - it does not require programming. I guess make sure those are OEM head gaskets too - Huge waste to risk all that labor on aftermarket gaskets (they have a higher failure rate). Pretty nice to have it all in one kit like that

 

Bill knows what he is doing...oem gaskets only..

He will sell you whatever parts you need..

 

I have a 05 f250 with all the bullet proofing done and I run a hypertech max energy programmer. I've noticed a small little drop of coolant around my degas bottle cap. I wiped it off and checked it constantly for next few weeks. Well I got on the throttle pretty good the other day and checked it and I seen another drop of coolant so it seems it only does it when it gets stomp for sometime. I've had the head gaskets check out and everything seems to be in order. Could this possibly mean I need an after market degas bottle cap? What are some possible reasons for this?

 

You should start your own thread instead of copy/pasting the same post into three existing threads, that way you don't take other people's threads off topic.

Old cap, or overfilled coolant will cause a leak. Get a new Motorcraft or Stant cap and put it on, then check that you're running the updated coolant level on this sticker and not what the bottle itself has marked (this is puking BTW, a drop really isn't a huge problem):
