My question would be why is it puking out coolant at 198 degrees when a stock one doesnt even get the warning light on untill 220 degrees? the factory engine runs between 192 - 205 degrees and the thermostat isn't fully open untill 119 degrees.
It’s a 6.0no. Probably head gasket leak from the wonderful TTY head bolts. Or a past plugged EGR cooler or oil cooler. Or possibly a cracked head. (Just a wittle cwack at this point)
Ole Jeff don’t have a bulletproof ex engine as I recall.
Well, he’s got some of the bolt on bandaids.
Buying a 6.0 is like dating a hot lookin crack ho. It looks good and it’s wild and fun ride sometimes but the downsides are substantial and numerous.

ya thats why a 20 buck exhause gas /coolant test kit works wonders, will detect it even if it isn't making bubbles. I am leanign towards its because he had the clutch fan disconected, if he didn't realy have a problem before, he may have one now.
