BIG PROBLEM PLEASE HELP
Well I got the insight CTS installed tonight and took the truck for a drive. I noticed a huge issue. Just driving like normal my EOT was anywhere from 9 to 26 degrees higher than my ECT. I understand that anything over a 15 degree difference is very bad correct?
I am looking now to have the truck worked on to fix this issue and preventive further problems. I am looking at doing coolant filtration kit, oil cooler, egr delete, ford factory head gaskets, arp studs and all the other gaskets I need. Is $1550 dollars shipped to my door a good price for all that stuff. I have a shop that is reputable in the area for doing head studs on the 6.0 but I have not got a labor quote yet. also is there any other parts I am going to need to have this work done correctly and is there anything else you guys would recommend having done while its already apart? Oh ya I am going to have the heads checked and machined too so I dont have to pay for this again later. :scare2: :argh: |
Sounds like a good start.
The readings are a little strange to me, because typically it seems when the oil cooler is clogging, coolant temp goes higher, not oil. :humm: |

Chances are it's still the oil cooler. Sounds like it's getting to the point it needs replacing. A good coolant flush, a coolant filter, and a rebuilt oil cooler should do the trick just fine.

I just figured might as welkl studd it and have the heads checked while its all apart so I can go ahead and get some innovative tunes and look at injectors and turbo

:rocking:

I'm waiting on my shop to email me back to see what we can work out cuz I only have about 2k saved up right now but I really wanna get it in and fixed befor I blow a head gasket. I think he is gonna do labor and all the parts I mentioned and have the heads checked and machined for arounds $3500. Thats a good deal right? He does about 5 6.0 heads a month around here and has a great reputation for them. He pulls the motor instead of pulling the cab.

That price is pretty good. I wonder why on earth he pulls the motor, its way more work than lifting the cab.
