Backflushing 6.0 PSD Oil Cooler In Detail

Backflushing 6.0 PSD Oil Cooler In Detail
I backflush my 6.0 liter PSD oil cooler in detail this video.
I needed to buy a Gear Wrench miniature ratchet socket set to be able to reach fasteners in tight locations. (See In Video) The tool has been very useful for other areas with tight work locations, highly recommend.
Backflushing the oil cooler can improve and restore the performance of your oil cooler. The oil cooler can become clogged with bits of casting sand, rust flakes from inside the engine block, and a sticky compound in the antifreeze caused by the EGR cooler superheating the antifreeze that passes through the oil cooler when the engine is under heavy load like towing a big trailer up a long steep grade, hill, or mountain pass. Coolant in the EGR cooler can superheat to 1200 degrees where it creates a sticky compound that will circulate through the engine. the compound likes to stick to the small passages in the oil cooler, heater core, and radiator. A coolant filter can help but it only filters about 10% to 20% of the coolant being pumped through the engine. The coolant being pumped through the oil cooler is not directly filtered so even with a filter, the oil cooler is still exposed to the sticky compound which accelerates the accumulation of gunk blocking the passages in the cooler eventually causing a steady decline in performance and possibly an eventual blockage, kind of like a heart attack or stroke in your oil cooler. A deleted EGR eliminates the conditions that cause superheated coolant. Just my opinion, if your EGR is deleted, you probably don't need a coolant filter since the cause of the problem doesn't exist anymore. You can still benefit from a filter to catch sand and rust bits. The filter will probably last a lot longer without an EGR cooler to gum things in the engine up. OK, that's my step by step in detail video how to backflush your 6.0 PSD oil cooler. I hope you enjoyed the video and that it helps you with your vehicle.
