[QUOTE="JD3020, post: 1497467, member: 373"] Even though we have a couple 6.0's in the family i'm not real familiar with them outside of regular maintenance. Good friend of mine bought a 05 KR DRW out of Texas back in January. Truck was obviously used to tow, but is bone stock and runs/drives great. Currently sitting around 185k miles, and he noticed this fall when working it hard hauling hay and grain it was loosing coolant. I was never around it when it did it, but he made it sound like it was puking. We've done some hard runs empty and haven't really noticed anything, but i haven't done any diagnostic work on it. Anyways he's wanting to go ahead and do some preventative maintenance/repairs this winter so he doesn't have to worry about it. He was originally going to pay $3k-3500 for a shop to do the HG's, but i think i've talked him into popping the engine out and doing it ourselves. Biggest hang up is on the heads, he wants to do it in a weekend so we don't have time to send his heads out. But it looks like reman heads are more $$$$$ than he wants to spend. Definitely don't want to do all the work and throw a bad set of heads on it. Heres my current list after doing some research, open to any input. ARP head studs RCD platinum gaskets Ford oil cooler EGR deleet and up-pipe 4" exhaust OEM water pump and t-stat Coolant filter STC upgrade and standpipes Full coolant flush and refill with ELC GH tow tune and monitor Blue spring kit Service both diffs, trans, t-case, and power steering [/QUOTE]
