Hey guys I just got my truck back from the shop, I now have an egr delete and a new oil cooler. I wana know if anyone has a coolant filter on there truck? I see sinister diesel makes one for $130.00 or somethin. Also I wana know more about the air dog fuel filters. Do you have to change your lines as well? How often do you change these filters and are they all pumps or can you get just the filters to mount back on the frame rail? Any help would be great thanks.

I made my own

I get my truck back today EGR cooler (I had them put a bullet proof unit in )
oil cooler and head gaskets (ARP) all in the last 5 days of warranty

cant wait

 

Dieselsite sells coolant filter kits for cheaper, i have one and its a necessity to keep ur oil cooler from clogging up due to sand casting debris.As far as the airdog goes, whats ur plans for the truck, i could think of many other things to spend ur money on before that.

 

i think most of the airdog setups mount to the frame rails. i know if you check there website it says all the recomendations on wen to change the filter... it also comes with all of the lines

 

Ok good to know. I will have to get the coolant filter next. I would like to put an sct tuner in er, stacks, rims and tires. I am debating if I need an intake or not and ARP head studs or not. This is my daily driver and I dont need to get screamin hp out of it. The only reason I was looking at the air dog is because I hear it gives the injectors some more life. Any thoughts on that? Thanks guys.

 

you don't want an intake

 

Forget the intake for now. Studs are a good idea. Zmann, you had yours done at the dealer, so my guess is they didn't deck the heads... you'll be doing them again sometime down the road. I already went through all this.

The airdog 2 is a great pump for our 6.0's. It will keep fuel pressure up when you're running the bigger tunes, where the stock pump will fall off. 55psi is what keeps our injectors happy. Stock pump can do this, but once you start running big tunes, it has trouble doing so. The AD2 also has adjustable regulator built in.

coolant filter is also a great inexpensive investment. I think every 6.0 on the road should at a minimum have a fuel pressure gauge and a coolant filter.

 

Maybe
I wanted to take them and get them professionally checked along with hardened seats
but $1300 and 3 days tying up their lift wasn't happening

 

I hear ya on that. Just letting you know. Mine lasted longer with stock bolts than it did with dealer installed ARPs.

In fact, with my ARP's in is when I had my "worst" failure. I was clouding out traffic with the white smoke coming out of my stacks. Every stop sign I came to, there was a PUDDLE of coolant on the ground under me. By the time I got to my desitnation, I had white smoke rolling out between the front fenders and hood and everywhere else imaginable.

In case you're wondering, this is what my dealer installed ARP's ended up looking like....

 

LOL and they say blown HG don't usually smoke out the exhaust

Mine never blew I pushed because I didn't like my Temp split so they did the ccolers
and to my surprise they decided to do heads also
