Yes because there was no way for me to flush the cooling system with the oil cooler ruptured. I'm going to order it because I have no plans of getting rid of my truck. It would take 30 minutes to replace it with the remote mount versus all weekend! Sounds like a win win situation to me.

Turbo install kit has the 3 turbo bolts, drain tube o rings, oil feed gasket, and oil feed o ring

Thanks for the info! because now that this is mentioned, the gasket tore when I took the supply line off.
What about the screen on the valve that everyone says clogs up with dirt and gunk and will cause stalls and lack of power. Can't think of the name right this second..

Yes, the IPR valve screen, where do I get one of those if anyone knows..

My local Ford dealer had the IPR screens on the shelf, you may try that first. I don't know if it has been mentioned, but if you go back with a factory style oil cooler, be sure you only use OEM Ford parts. I have seen Dorman coolers fail in just a few thousand miles.

Here is the kit I am going to get Snake. I didn't know there was any others?http://www.bulletproofdiesel.com/product_p/vk688-300.htm

On the oil coolers patricku47, I'm going to use a dorman the first time, because I know for a fact it's going to clog up pretty quickly because the oil cooler ruptured and I could not flush it.. I even thought about throwing a dorman in there right now before I put the remote mount just to clean everything. But I suppose I can just wait and do all the cleaning once I get the mount on.

There used to be some others out there, but you definitely found the best one. Buy with confidence.

However, I'd recommend getting an OEM oil cooler and an aftermarket coolant filter instead of running a Dorman. They've had very questionable reliability and I personally don't trust them.

DEFIANTLY getting the coolant filter. I was Only going to use the dorman because I couldn't flush it before I took it apart. Flush it with the cheap oil cooler, and then put the OEM cooler on.

Well... I took the EGR valve out to have a look..TOTALLY GUMMED UP AND WET!! That means the egr cooler ruptured too,right?

why dont you just buy a d elete kit?

junglejoe · Jan 28, 2016

I think it would be easier to just weld it up and it would look stock just in case.. well ya know.

junglejoe · Jan 30, 2016

Couple pics of the EGR valve. Its some sticky chit on there! Cant tell if it's oil or water mixed or both...

On a six oh? Hardly an issue...

Well I went to replace the sct fittings, since I'm in it this far, looks like ford already replaced them when the previous owner had them do all the warranty work. The IPR valve looks new and clean too!
