Any updates on mileage from Beachbumcook or Bismic. I'm now at 113,000 miles. Rear pinion seals are my returning problems.

Any updates? Maybe you will get bored again. I am at 94,000 miles on my 03 6.0L.

So how is the cheese and gay way going. Still own the 6.0?

I migrated to a new Jeep Wrangler. Not interested in crew cab 150 as that is all that was available around here.

I got the water to run clear after flushing twice with VC9, countless gallons of tap water and over 100 gallons of distilled water. All of this after 20,000 miles and 4 years of running the yellow gold. Strange to me, my deltas are 7 to 12 cruising at 65 mph with the cruise set. When I cruise...

Two more flushes today. Dark orange and darker yellow than Ford Gold. Will update later. Currently at 70 gallons of distilled water and countless gallons of tap water for the flush.

I flushed again this morning with 2 quarts of VC9 and distilled water. After driving for a couple of hours with cardboard in front of the radiator [180 to 185 coolant temps] the water I drained came out black. I filled again with distilled water and drove a couple of hours tonight at the same...

I would like to change to Rotella ELC but I am afraid to use the Restore, for fear of needing a new oil cooler, which should be done before the switch. I may start over with the VC9 this weekend. I planned to be through with this before the temps got this cold. I just hate the idea of doing...

I changed the Napa Gold Filter today {4070 I believe}. I have never seen such a rusted mess of a filter, but it was not stopped up. I am retired from Ford Motor Company and have always used Motorcraft parts but I am starting to rethink the Ford Yellow Gold coolant in the 6.0. I have seen...

That is 50 gallons of distilled water in addition to flushing with tap water. When it sits overnight with distilled water in it and I drive it for a while the next day the water darkens to a yellow color.

That is what I plan to do if I can ever get the distilled water to run clear again. I am at 50 gallons and counting. Thanks for your help.

Knowing what I have reported on this truck, would you use Restore or just go back with the Ford Gold? I don't want to have to replace the cooler at this time. Thanks for your advice and help.

The Gold in my truck had too much "junk" in it when I flushed. It had been in for 4 years [20,000] miles. I use gold in my other 3 Fords without any issues. All of the flushing and chemicals with the Gold are a pain in the butt. At this point, I have used 32 gallons of distilled water and...

I have flushed twice with distilled water at this point. I think it will take a few more to get the distilled water to run clean. Last time it took 12 flushes. I may be pushing it to do this many flushes before the temps turn colder on Monday.Any recomendations for an ELC antifreeze?

Thanks for the reply.I am assuming I should leave coolant filter in place and let the VC9 circulate through it while doing the flush?In your opinion, should I remove the thermostat or leave it in to warm the temps during the flush?
