Cat ELC coolant is what is really recommended. I also have a 6.0, added the filter as noted above (never did have any 'sand') did have the snot that seems to be the trouble.

I also had the guy install the blue spring upgrade which helps maintain fuel pressure and is one of the most highly recommended installs. The tech that did all the work also installed all the latest TSB's on the engine (mine is 04), told him not to touch the computer so has its original tune with the addition of the hypertech. have gotten close to 20 mpg usually around 18 empty at 80mph and 2350rpm. Go to ford truck enthusists site for more info. powerstroke.org is also a good one read through the stickies and they will answer many questions.
I also run a oil bypass filter and it seems to make a big difference. The tech said the internals were the cleanest of any he had to work on. He did the ARP studs and gaskets while working on the truck. I also use synthetic oil and add archoil to keep the injectors lubed and not sticking.
