Find a store near you or shop online for car, truck, and SUV replacement parts. The common denominator here is that these trucks typically have after market tuners on them intended for race applications. Your local source for quality auto parts. WE actually see more trucks in our shop with ARP head studs and blown head gaskets than stock head bolts. O 3rd: customers who think that because they have ARP studs their truck is indestructible. If the system is intended to have 5 gallons of coolant and only has 2, the coolant doesn’t have enough time to run through the radiator and cool down before entering the engine thus causing it to over heat. The system is designed to have enough coolant to cool the engine down after running though the radiator. This is no different of a scenario than a Honda civic running without coolant. Over time the truck begins to run low on coolant and overheats, causing the blown head gasket. When this happens, small amounts of coolant being to leak into the straws and evaporates the coolant as its traveling to the intake. Over time the straws metal becomes weak and start to crack. These “straws” carry exhaust gasses from the passenger side up pipe up to the intake while coolant runs around them in the tube (on the outside of the straws) to cool the air down. Think about a bunch of metal straws running inside of a long rectangular (or circular) tube. The best way to describe a 6.0 EGR cooler is this. O 2nd: Failing EGR coolers play a big role in blown head gaskets on the 6.0.
At this point the liquid isn’t able to do any cooling and your engine will overheat. Although you might be able to run your truck like this for a little while, the coolant will become too thick to run through the radiator, water pump and engine. The reason the oil is pushed into the coolant system is because the oil is running at a higher pressure than the coolant system. When this happens, oil begins to push its way into the cooling system and starts to create a milkshake like liquid mixed of oil and water. Unfortunately like the walls of the EGR cooler, this metal is thin and begins to break down over time. The engine coolant is cooler than the oil allowing it to cool the oil down during this process. Think about the bread being hollow and allowing the oil to pass through it from one side to the other and the meat, also hollow, being the engine coolant. The best way to describe a 6.0 oil cooler is thinking about it like a sandwich with only bread and meat stacked on top of each other multiple times. This is probably the most common cause for blown head gaskets in the 6.0 engine. As for head gaskets we typically see this issue arise from 3 different things. What we normally find in these engines Is worn rings (common on higher mileage trucks), some lifter failure, and bad bearings (typically caused from lack of maintenance aka not changing your oil regularly). The bottom end is fairly stout, and we typically don’t see catastrophic failure in these trucks until the 350k+ mark. Let me start by saying the 6.0 motor is actually a well-built motor.
Stops early injector failure due to overheated oil.Maximizes coolant flow to the EGR cooler to prevent it from overheating.Bullet Proofs the High Pressure Oil Pump (HPOP) filter screen preventing a possible HPOP failure.Prevents the engine oil cooler from rupturing and filling your cooling system with engine oil.No more clogged engine oil coolers due to casting sand and debris in your coolant!.Good rule of thumb? If you think you might need the cold weather kit, then you should buy it. This means that it will work exceedingly well in Alaska in January. Keep in mind, the Bullet Proof air-to-oil cooler is designed to work in hot summer climates like Phoenix, Arizona. It is designed to allow your engine oil to warm up in cold weather climates before it circulates the oil through the air-to-oil cooler. The Cold Weather Kit serves just like a coolant thermostat for the Bullet Proof Oil Cooler system. If you have an F250 or F350 (Single Rear Wheel) and you tow heavy or often with your truck, then this is the best option for you. This means that if you have a DRW F350, F450 or F550 - you are going to want this heavy duty option. The Heavy-Duty version oil cooler is the right cooler for all 6.0L diesel trucks that work and work hard.
