Refilled again with Rotella Ultra ELC and drove for maybe another 6 months with about 15 degree differential again. This 2nd flush I did was using restore and restore+. Both of the flushes were done using built coolant hose adapters that allowed me to forward and backward flush using my hotsy pressure washer at 212 degrees. I was very fortunate the parts didn't break. Before I flushed it again it got to 50 degree differential once pulling a 4K air compressor and about 4K load the the flatbed. That remained pretty constant for maybe 6 months or more then started back up. With the first flush couple years or so ago, I went from about a 35+ degree water/oil temp differential down to about 15 degrees. Prior to doing the oil cooler/egr delete, I had done multiple coolant flushes try to save the old oil cooler. Use highest quality Shell Rotella Ultra ELC. I never run hot now that I have changed my oil cooler, and welded my EGR cooler shut. Who has not had coolant overflow out of your reservoir? I have and still do on occasion. Now, everyone is bubbling I'm sure right about now. Fault of the design and will detonate if allowed to - Tune or no tune. Just wanted to say the 6.0 is a time bomb working to explode as soon as it can. I just started to read this post and finish through the 1st page so far. The EGR cooler is a time bomb and IMO is responsible for good portion of failed gaskets. There is available power to have and still remain relatively safe on stock bolts. I'll agree that the design of the 6.0 is a bit flawed with only 4 bolts/studs per cylinder, but I'm also of the opinion that if the job was done right after your first set and your EGR cooler had not ruptured, you would have only replaced one set of gaskets.Īs far as tunes, no tune is headbolt safe under the right set of conditions and even mild tunes will increase the chance of blown gaskets, but you should also understand that the stock tune was not written to use 100% of the capability of the engine. Headgaskets blow all of the time and not just on 6.0's. As to why your first set blew, that's anyone's guess. That's the scenario that I was commenting on.
