Green Coolant in '03 6.0?

[thomaslord84]

I have read on here that the green coolant is a big no no in a 6.0. I would think that it is because of the silicates in it. If you have the BPD oil cooler and EGR delete in it should not matter, right? I am just wondering because the green coolant costs only $9/gal and I plan on flushing my coolant at least once a year probably twice. Cat EC-1 is going to get REALLY expensive at that rate. I don't mind spending money on my truck, but I also don't want to be throwing money away because I could be using something that costs 1/3 less. Thanks for all the input.

Just do the EC-1 coolant and install a coolant filter. No need to flush it then.

The green coolant does not prevent cavitation enough. It will cause serious damage in the 6.0
Don't do it, no matter how often you flush.
