Ok, someone crush my soul.
Ok, so I am just verifying what I am pretty sure I already know... Here is whats going on. I have searched, and see alot of people talk about white residue around the coolant cap and whatnot, but does it mean when your coolant bottle is full of diesel fuel? I am pretty sure that I know the answer (head gaskets), but before I go nuts, I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. The EGR has been deleted already...perhaps it wasn't done right? I don't know, but I am already prepared for the worst. A diesel tech friend of mine wondered about the possibility of a cracked injector cup (He is a CAT tech), but I don't know. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

It doesn't take long before my cooling system is running exclusively diesel fuel...

Injector Cups
Well the CAT tech is probably right.. When the injector cups crack or fail it will fill the cooling system with diesel. I hear there is a way to replace them without pulling the heads. I will try to find the link for the tools and procedures.

Well, injector cups are certainly cheaper than a head gasket job (assuming I can do it without pulling the heads), however, I fear that if I don't do the head gaskets, I am on borrowed time. Thoughts?

The injector cups are one possible cause, but more likely its something else. Something more serious than the cups and more serious than head gaskets: cracked heads.

Well, the good news is that there are A LOT of 6.0's being parted out and you can likely find a set of used heads for a lot less than new ones.
Sorry to be the one to break the bad news.
