An often overlooked item with maintenance is the maintenance of the cooling systems. This is an especially critical step for the 6.0L Powerstroke and if you haven't maintained the cooling system NOW is the time to do so.
There are a lot of myths and misconceptions regarding the 6.0L engine and while I will not dive into each of these, I want to focus on the cooling system and why it is critical to prevent VERY costly repairs in the future.
The 6.0 is a HEUI engine which basically means that the injectors are hydraulically operated. The hydraulic fluid used is engine oil. The 6.0 is equipped with a liquid to liquid oil cooler to keep oil temperatures from "cooking" your engine and components. This oil cooler is prone to clogging which in turn causes 2 major problems. Problem #1, the clogging of the oil cooler restricts the coolant to the EGR cooler which can cause that to fail dumping coolant into your engine (blown head gaskets). Problem #2 excessive engine oil temperature will cause failures of components which rely on oil (injectors, turbo's and all other internally lubricated components).
To keep this from occurring, it is CRITICAL to flush your cooling system on a regular basis to remove any potential contaminates from the oil cooler there by increasing the dependability and longevity of your engine. A cheaper and faster alternative to flushing the entire cooling system or replacing the oil cooler is a "backflush" unit.Flashark offers cooling kits specifically designed for this purpose.
Made of by high quality aluminum and Brass,prevent high oil temperature result in costly fuel systems and engine failure.Instead of spending a high price to replace the 6.0-liter oil cooler, it is more appropriate to spend a little free time to clean it. And our products can be used repeatedly.
With our 6.0L Power Stroke Oil Cooler Flush Kit, the oil cooler can be backflushed in less than an hour. By directing the water flow in the opposite direction of normal travel, contaminants are removed and, in most cases, the cooler is restored to new effectiveness.
No need to remove the plant cooling manifold. Coolant enters the cooler from the oil cooler, and when disturbed, the quick connection hose between the oil cooler and the cooler will usually start to leak, resulting in rewinding. Our device will not interfere with the original connection.
It is advisable to regularly monitor the Delta T (difference between oil temperature and coolant temperature) while operating the engine under load. If the temperature difference exceeds specification we recommend performing an oil cooler flush. Careful attention to this detail can prevent thousands of dollars of engine and fuel system damage. In the case of a cooling system that has experienced extreme neglect,even a new cooler can become restricted by contaminants quite quickly.
