Need 6.0 mechanic in Cave Creek, Arizona

[eco-rich]

I think my 2005 CC dually 6.0 needs a coolant flush and new oil cooler.
91,000 miles and most (85%) of that is hauling a camper.

I added a ScanGauge II and monitored the ECT and EOC on the 1500 mile trip here. Long uphill grades quite often pushed the EOC up to 230 - 233*
I had to let off and slow down to get oil temps below 230*
Deltas were often as much as 20* difference.

Based on the slimy feel of the coolant and it now appears darker than before, I think the truck should be looked at.

Daily driving without the camper it runs fine and the delta is always less than 15

SO. . .can I get a recommendation for a knowledgeable 6.0 shop or dealership in the Phoenix area that can keep this beast running reliably?

that oil temp and delta isn't catastrophic,it is actually normal,hauling heavy,,just flush and fill with good coolant,maybe get a coolant filter in there to catch sand and crud. I don;t think your oil cooler is done yet.

X2. Check your deltas unloaded for best results. After the crap I dumped out of my first filter installed post flush, I think every 6.0 should have some form of a coolant filter.
