Coolant flush question

[tylerb05]

Ok I've reading a lot on the subject I'm
Ordering my coolant filter and gunna run it for few thousand miles and change filters twice before I would want to flush.

This is my dilemma

I am starting to work 7days a week till dark so I was wanting some maybe to
Do it for me but I doubt anyone will do it by using restore plus and then restore then distilled water than put in the ELC or am I wrong?

Maybe one day it will be a rain out and I can change it my self hopefully :/

Can anyone give me the steps that need to
Be followed to change this ford gold crap!

Also I heard don't change the ford
Gold if your delta are good cause sometimes when you change coolant you almost always clog up your oil cooler?

look in the 6.0 Tech Files section for writeups on this. What coolant filter are you planning to use. I highly recommend IPR's full flow coolant filter. It is the best most effective coolant filter out there. Yes the oil coolers sometimes clog. I wouldn't go so far as to say almost always, but it is a possibility.

Anything is possible I suppose.

My deltas were good, flushed w/ 24.5 gallons of Distilled Water (5 flushes), switched to ELC Ultra.

My deltas are still good - so are the actual temps. I have seen absolutey NO issues with switching after only distilled water flushes.

Diesel site or sinister coolant filter I WAS going to use .. And bismic you had ford
Gold and flushed your system only with water?

Look at the IPR full flow filter. Way better than either (or any) of those.

My coolers were changed out under warranty by the dealership when I bought the truck. I ran it for 3k miles on fresh Gold watching temperatures and coolant pressures, and when I was satisfied with everything flushed with distilled water only, and switched to Delo ELC. If anything, the delta has dropped by a degree or two, and I really have to hammer on it for a while to get the eot above 200 or the delta to 6. I would have gone with Rotella Ultra, but the only distributor within 3 hours either couldn't or wouldn't get any of the concentrate.

I strongly recommend installing and using the Fumoto valves in the block drains.

Edit: I was going to order one of the others until I saw the IPR coolant filter. Very happy to wait for that one, expecting it to be arriving soon.

IPR High Flow Coolant Filter Not Another Bypass

IPR uses a 3/4" hose and runs in series with the heater core; much higher volume through the filter. The others use a 3/8" hose in a bypass loop off the heater circuit. IPR's filter element is re-useable. More discussion in the second link above.
