    6.7 Preferred Mods for Long Life?

    I’ve just updated from my ‘04 6.0L to a 2012 6.7L. As I understand, there isn’t as important a laundry list for the 6.7 as for the 6.0 (like the oil cooler, EGR cooler, water pump, etc.) but what are the best things to do for it, besides good and regular maintenance? I’ve seen a few people talk...

    Tips to loosen fan?

I’ve seen a number of other vids which all use the trick of working with the belt on and placing something long into the hole on the fan pulley. I’m seeing 2 things which...

    Coolant Everywhere...How Bad Is This?

    So I wrote about the coolant flush I did a few days ago, and the blackfish that I did on my oil cooler, all in prep to pull a fifth when to a new location. The drive down to get it was pretty uneventful. I saw a small drip by the heater core valve. Oil temps stayed close to 209-235, coolant...

    Unknown Gas Cap, Lost

    I bought a used 2004 F-450 6.0 diesel, and it has a big secondary tank. I lost the cap to it, but can’t figure out what brand it is to order a new one. Anyone recognize this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coolant leak, rear engine passenger side

    I’ve got a coolant leak that seems to be coming from the right rear part of the engine. I’ve been up above and don’t see any drips coming down, it comes at a pretty steady pace, but only once the engine has heated up. 2004 F450 6.0
