Thanks FTE, and all who help here
First performed VC-9 flush to no avail, temps were still WAY wide. Changed out my oil cooler, updated both the turbo supply and drain, updated the STC fitting and deleted the EGR. Installed coolant filter from dieselsite. No issues, truck runs great with no leaks. Thanks to all here for their posts, procedures, part numbers and advice. This site is great.

It is amazing what one can do with some simple tools:
1. The unending tech support here from some of the best minds and talents Ford has.
2. A few special tools and the rest most any shade tree guy already has.
3 Unending patience
4 Cheezit's favorite- a box or two of band aids
Congratulations on completing your upgrades

I also would like to thank everyone who took the time and patience to post and answer my dopey questions. Would also like to give a shout out and rep to rickatic. I read his posts on another forum and gained much Insight (so to speak) on the weaknesses of this engine and how to correct them. He eventually lead me here. gaskets, ARP's, Oil cooler replacement, EGR delete and gauges can all done. Without his help and those here my engine would be a very expensive boat anchor. Thanx again to all. No back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Oh, and yes, there were several Band-Aids broken out. When I start a job like this my wife always jokingly asks how much suture material she needs to bring home. Got the typical busted knuckle a couple of times. Only broke one bolt, passenger side exhaust manifold to up-pipe. Luckily that is one that was replaced with the Sinister EGR delete kit, so all is good.
