Message: [QUOTE="superduty4x4, post: 1507318, member: 542"] The scoop is in the up pipe isn't it? So a question if I may... I've tried searching to some extent but it's hard to weed out the threads that don't have much relevance to the question on my mind. When considering an EGR cooler swap vs a d3lete, some of the research I have done tells me that leaving the cooler in place is maybe the better option for a towing vehicle- lower combustion temps and better fuel efficiency are some of the claims. I guess it makes sense a little bit, but the d3lete is such a common mod on these I was curious if anyone has some real world experience they can share one way or the other on this question. My other question is about coolant- I found or read something that recommended against using ELC with the EGR cooler retained, claiming that the high temps in the cooler will cook the coolant and plug the oil cooler and/or EGR quicker than with the Ford gold coolant, though I've found very little other evidence of this being true. I will be diving head first into my new to me 6.0 very soon and want to get it fixed up right so it won't be a worry anymore, so I'm looking for advice on the best route to go. Truck will have some DD duty and light to moderate towing - 28ft bumper pull TT with a bed full of dirt bikes will be the main towing duty. [/QUOTE]
