The Torqshift that came with the 6.0 has a huge cooler already. You may want to consider a deeper trans pan like a finned aluminum MagHytec or ATS to add more fluid.


Are you having trouble keeping the tranny temps below 200?

Superdudey,

Some upgrades that will benefit the longevity of the 6.0 are 1) Cross Over fuel line, 2) Fluidampr harmonic balancer.

You can get both of these from Matt at LIPD, www.lidiesel.com.

Also a coolant filtration system from www.dieselsite.com

Bypass oil filtration from Oilguard, www.oilguard.com

Hope this helps

You could buy me some stuff! Here's my wish list:
  1. Pyro/boost/trans/fuel pressure gauges w/quad A-Pillar mount
  2. 4" turbo-back (retaining a "customized" cat)
  3. Fuel crossover
  4. SCT xcalII
  5. One of those really cool carpet kits for the bed & shell
  6. One item of your choice!
Let me know when you're ready to order!
