What else to do while chaging oil cooler?
I am planning to do the oil cooler in my 2006 ford f350, trying to make sure I have everything here so I can take care of some minor leaks and make sure I don't need to get back in there for a while. I am still waiting on the tool to test for leaks before hand but better to be prepared, I live in a tiny town and practically have to order everything I need.
Is there anything I should be doing with the Turbo, rebuild or refurbish kits? Any additions would be greatly appreciated.
So far I have;
Oil cooler replacement w/gaskets/seal.
Dummy plugs and stand pipes
Injector external o ring kit
Nipple cup o rings
IPR seal kit
Valve cover upper and lower gaskets, grommets and breather seals.

If you have an EGR cooler, I would replace it with the latest BPD unit.

You didn't say how many miles you have on it but I would consider replacing the STC fitting (if it's not the newer type) and cleaning the vanes and (or replacing) the unison ring in the turbocharger.

STC fitting.. I just put in an order for """OEM Ford Updated STC HPOP Fitting for 04.5-10 6.0L Ford Powerstroke""
I noticed a lot of different kits for the turbo out there, do I need to pull it to find out what I have? Looks like they may differ in vane sizes?
I don't have a problem buying replacement parts and if just a cleaning is necessary doing that and boxing the spares up till I need them. I already started a box like that lol.

I'm on my phone, would have to go on my computer to check where I put in the order but I just Google it.
should I cancel it? Hasn't been placed yet, no withdrawal from my account.

EDIT - As a rule, the reputable parts suppliers (like XDP) seem to have the OEM parts, but not always. They are in error (as are so MANY aftermarket parts places) when they post 04.5-10 for that part though. No consequence to you with an 06, but some people w/ 04.5 engines waste money that way. When it comes to HPOP parts, I like to get very picky.

Also, would anyone have a picture of what to look for in an egr delete.
was thinking I may want to order a proper one it the thing was welded or plugged and was a ****ty job or something. I'd hate to have it pulled and have to wait for parts.

Will I need to replaced the manifold gaskets as well?

Okay thank you for the info,
I edited my post and lost the picture ¿
First diesel, but love to learn, and finding I have a lot of work ahead of me. I love it though.
My 1998 Ford F250 5.4, Ive had for 10 years racked up 460,000 KMS with very very minimal maintenance.

Just remember - when working on a 6.0L, there are MANY places that sell counterfeit parts that will make your life miserable ....
Also, for a few parts, the OEM ones aren't that great - you just need to know the details. The major 6.0L forums are a fantastic resource..
