questions about bullet proof

I am a newbie with 6.0 problems. This forum has been great and scary to my wallet!! I have an 05 350 dually with the infamous 6.0 and am now leaking and dry radiator problems. So now I know whats in store for me and my truck. 68k miles means nothing to the oil cooler and related items. I visited th bullet proof site and am wondering if that is better than dealer parts??? I may be stuck doing the rebuild under warranty with ford parts ...but.. should I consider there options??? I tow 11k pound fifth wheel and plan to travel over 8,000 miles next year. I want absolutely to put my engine related items too rest. Located in central OHIO with disabled spouse,,so need 100% engine for travel. PLEASE ADVISE, MY LOCAL DEALER MIGHT AS WELL BE NAMED OBAMA... LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR IMPUT .. THANKS.. POOP

BPD parts are way better than Ford but if they are going to fix it let them then get the Ford Gold out replace it with ECL coolent, get a set of gauges like the Edge Insight + a fuel pressure gauge under 45 lbs will KILL injectors mine with 20k was at 44 WOT and 50 at idle installed reg kit now 62 idle and 58 WOT don't want my injectors going hungry pulling my 5er, + better get a coolent filter on it to remove the casting sand and other garbage

If the work is going to be done under warranty see if the mechanic will install the Bulletproof egr cooler if you buy it. Not sure the extent of the repairs needed but if you need head gaskets too see if they will install ARP studs if you supply them.

The big thing is you have to get rid of that Ford Gold coolant and switch to an ELC coolant.

The links in my signature will explain lots.
