[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3219547, member: 6281"] The majority of 6.0 issues were because of the gold coolant. It was silicone based and had to be changed at 50k miles or it would drop the silicone out in solid form clogging the oil cooler. Poor maintenance was the key. The other issue was the EGR cooler. Heads lifting were because of tunes and people not knowing the limits on cyl. pressures and boost. Coolant swap and flush using CAT red ELC coolant and an EGR delete is all they needed (unless it was a 2003, then just the coolant swap). And a caveman could do those himself on a Sat. afternoon. I've done 6 of them and can almost do it blindfolded...well maybe not but... lol [/QUOTE]
