How many miles were on that one, Vince? I am considering a coolant filter to avoid this -- found one for a 7.3 but not sure if it'll work on a 6.0 (what's different between them?)...

Was the bracket repair ever put into production units? I thought I'd heard they did starting with '07s built after mid '06 or so...

Yeah, that was one thing that bugged me on my Dmax/Ally -- it made all this low rpm torque, yet would always downshift if you even breathed on the throttle under 1500 rpm. The Ford will lug down to 1200 rpm and many times will pull up from there if you roll on the throttle...The final drive...

Sorry, been away for awhile... 2008 6.4 -- yup, they give both the same rating...We ordered her truck after the new year with 3.55s (customer service sux if it's not Ernie, IMHO)...

It looks like Ford has re-rated most of it's gear ratios, since the order guide shows taller gear options for the Job 3 builds. I have a friend that I'm helping configure an order for an '08, and based on the weight of her trailer and camper, I'm leaning towards having her get the 3.55s for a...

Thanks Polarbear -- good to see ya' again...Back on the topic: The rebates are coming in way faster than others I've done: 3 out of the 4 checks are in (mailed each by itself like I mentioned above). This current offer ends with purchases made on or before 12/31, btw...

Thanks -- I'm switching oils!Here's a couple of comparisons between Delo 400 and Castrol Tection Extra off their respective product data sheets (both CJ-4):Flash Point: Delo= 399 deg F TX= 450 deg FPour Pt: Delo= -22 deg F TX= -43.6 deg FTBN: Delo= 9.6 TX= 10VI: Delo= 131...

I posted a Q over in the oil forum, but have done enough research myself and decided to switch from Delo 400 LE to Castrol Tection Extra (both CJ-4 rated). Hope this can stay in the diesel forums, since it's really an HDEO short time deal!here ya' go:I ended up buying 12 gallons of this...

Been trying to find some info on it, besides what I've read on their (Castrol's) site, which is pretty impressive, btw...Sounds like a really good oil for a 6.0 PSD to me -- anyone else have some info?
