I have been using Rons videos for 1 year now- he has saved my butt over and over and over- working on my truck today and using his videos but I cannot do anything on it without thinking about his passing over and over- sometimes when I get stumped I close my eye and say "Help me out here Ron" Everyday I work on my truck I think about how unfair it was for someone who has helped so many to have passed so soon. I wish I would have had the opportunity to personally thanks Ron for all the unselfish helps he gives me. Never any BS and wasted talking- right to the point- complete instructions with helpful tips all along the way- I never knew you but I sure miss you and think about you buddy!
Great post. Ron did a ton of work creating these videos, helping many thousands of people in the process. And even though he's gone, he's still helping us today. RIP Ron
You have given a gift to all who benefit from sharing your skills with the 6.0 Community. It takes a special soul to teach and share so others can learn even after leaving this life. Thanks to you and your beautiful family!
Let me start by saying I own a F350 with a 6.0. I truly respect the time you have taken to make these videos. Simply saying thank you just doesn't seem fair in comparison to the time put into these. I applaud you ...respect.
You're a great mechanic man. I appreciate the patience and time you take in all your videos to explain and show each step while offering your own advice and preferences to help others with their problems. Tips and tricks you've learned over the years is gained from experiences through process. You sharing those is a privilege to listen to and watch. Most will show you how to do it but you all around are there to help make sure things are done right and as easy as possible. You don't have to make these videos and they're not made for your benefit but solely directed to those that want to work on their own vehicles. Thanks again. This is why I'm subscribed to your channel.
Every time I watch a diesel tech Ron video I'm always sad I never got to meet the guy but he's a really good fellow very informative and all his videos rest in peace buddy
Of all the 6.0 forums out there you are the best, simple and informative. God bless you. Rest in peace. Still helping despite. ....All the way from Papua new guinea..
Ron it is so sad that just like that you are no more with us but truth is that as long as there are PowerStrokes you will always be remembered,may God continue to rest your gentle soul.
Thank you for all the informative information for us crazy people that own the infamous 6.0...Mine is an 07 f350 lariat srw lwb, just turned 354000 on the odometer. Original headstuds with a egr deleted and ford upgraded oil cooler. Other than that oh yeah the 03 turbo. I have spent less than 3000$ in total maintenance cost and a upgrade to the ficm...48V....I tow heavy 6 months outta the year pulling 18K quad goosenecks up to Canada March thru September...
she works hard. i spent 3 k just by buying oil coolers and deletes and injectors just to have a nice stock truck. than i tune it to extreme with original head studs >:)
I only discovered this channel yesterday after it came up on my feed. I immediately subscribed and then read about his passing in the comments.

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I've been thinking about something like this for some time now. Didn't know they made one. Depending on the price, it's a good alternative for those that don't want to by BDs other oil cooler alternative for that long term 6.0 owner. Thanks again man.
I installed one a few years ago. However my oil temperature have not been much of a change. I do think it’s a better system. I would recommend a dual core radiator and electric fans from Alloy Works.
Wow i just found out about you!!!! Thank you for all that you taught me in the last couple of years. I really would like to say God Bless you and your family as many times it was your videos that enabled me to keep me and my truck working ..You will be missed by many Pal i am glad i kinda knew you ..Great friend
BTW I Am purchasing a 2006 550 Superduty with 95G miles & has had no problems this is just in case for me I dont like breaking down It cost me $$$ when I cant work my truck. The Truck Also Has A Engine Mount Hydrolic Pump To Run My Knuckle Crane Over on the passenger side by the battery (it came with the truck & I really dont want to switch over to the transmission mount one at this time )
Hello. Thanks so much for all the great videos and information I am considering buying an 06'F350, work truck that has 207k miles. What must have/do mods would you recommend to make more reliable?? It will be my DD. It will not be used for work. It will tow my 5,000 pound boat weekly (30 miles per trip).
awesome info, thanks Ron. I have a 6.4L, do you recommend any considerations I should take, or work that I should prioritize? its 100% factory still, and 110K km.
So I'm just getting ready to do the bulletproof to my 2006 is there something wrong with the air cooler that they've gone back to using the old system with the remote
Hey Ron... I'm replacing my oil cooler right now. It ruptured and dumped oil all in the antifreeze and I want able to flush it out.. Should I install this remote mount now ? Because I'm afraid it will clog up the new oil cooler once I start driving it again. This oil cooler only lasted 10k miles and went out again.
I mean whats an abosolute temp for eot and coolant mine has never reached 200 higest ive seen is 194 but the difference between the two is anywhere from 4 to 15 depends on if im on a load or not.
an example it's 80 degrees out here humid oil temp at 205 degrees coolant temp is 10 degrees lower I just finish installing this one I don't know if it's normal because I thought there was something wrong coming from California to Texas I saw my temperature like that and I have a delete SCT tuner to Performance
I saw the hair too. She does miss him. I did a hashtag for DieselTechRon and she replied to my comment! She said he was the best husband and friend she had ever had. My heart melted for her so bad.
hi I watched this video and currently have a 04 F350 super duty that has a oil cooler that is starting to fail id like to get this kit but I cant find it on the site is there any way you could post a link to this kit I would greatly appreciate it thank you in advance
I put a bigger bulletproof diesel kit on and my temperature still 10° degrees up of coolant and it's 80 degrees out here in tx is that normal or am I running into more problems
+lorax1968 Actually, this aftermarket external mount is air cooled AND water re-circulation in the cast body's. The advantage of this design is that it is mounted away from saturated heated air in the valley of the engine block. The disadvantage of air only coolers in cold climates is that you would risk oil blockage (gelling) without the water / antifreeze circulating in the unit. If you never leave Arizona or Texas, this is almost a non-issue.
i honestly dont see the point of installing this kit, if you plan on replacing the oil cooler every 100k miles sure makes sence, but if you have good clean coolant, updated cooler and a coolant filter, i dont see the point but whatever works i guess! what kind of delta do you get with the temps towing with this kit installed?
I tow a 24ft livestock trailer 4x a week loaded its around 14k to 15k. I installed a 3 segment 100 percent aluminum radiator, the coolant filter and run only Ford coolant. I never have a issue period
Do you recommend adding a after market by pass oil filter kit such as OCS or Sinister Diesel ? What temp thermostat and type (factory or Mishimoto) ? Would a Mishimoto radiator be a cost effective upgrade. ? Live in Oregon with mild winters but will use the truck mainly for towing and traveling. Factory Ford Warranty on truck not extended but factory .
We almost never see an oil related failure on these motors, esp if the proper filter is used. so I would not out money in the extra filtering of the oil, same with the thermostat. almost no factory or rare factory failure. the radiator actually is an upgrade, yes if needed I would replace it with theirs. take out a perfectly good one? in a cool climate? no. a coolant filter on these is s good idea and keeping up on the fuel filters. Try to only start it and run it when it can be driven long enough to be warmed up all the way. otherwise condensation builds up which is moisture or water in the systems
Everyone thinks it was every single 6.0 that had issues which is wrong. In 03 ford needed a new diesel motor ASAP because the old 7.3 didn't the the manditory emmision parts. So ford took a gamble on the 6.0 in the F series and E series with out the proper testing. If the proper testing would of been done before hand. Majority of these flaws would of been corrected from the beginning and would of had another 7.3. International installed the 6.0 in a ton of commercial vehicles. They never had any of these flaws and was going for ever. My buddies party bus had 530000 miles before he traded it in for a new 6.7 PS. 3 turbos replaced before 80k
Does anyone know if a similar kit will work on the E-series 6.0 powerstroke? The only option I've seen is the $2200, rape you in the ass option from bulletproof diesel. In all honesty, the kit should be more like $1000 max, $2200 for an oil cooler is approaching aviation part prices.
+Andrew B ... do not forget to send a "thank you " note to Fix Or Repair Daily. These trucks are money machines for dealer service centers. Try trading one in at a dealer and then that is the second price shock. It is almost as if they closed there eyes when they designed these engines. With the cheap price of gasoline a big block would be cheaper...Oppps they do not offer a big block... and do not stand behind their warranty.. Ain't that nice.
because Chevy and dodge can't keep up lol I love cummins engines but dodge can't make anything good anymore, and Chevy is just a sellout along with the rest of government motors

I took out the stock when I got here to Texas and put them bulletproof the big one because I have a dually
I miss his vids! Thanks Ron rip!🙏
What a great video. Really easy to understand and a very subtle tone that I can understand. Excellent. Thank you.
I installed one a few years ago. However my oil temperature have not been much of a change. I do think it’s a better system. I would recommend a dual core radiator and electric fans from Alloy Works.
The best one is mounted in front of the radiator, where it gets cool air .

So I'm just getting ready to do the bulletproof to my 2006 is there something wrong with the air cooler that they've gone back to using the old system with the remote
Hi Ron. If I got my hands on a low mileage 6.0, something like 40k miles..what would you suggest be done first preventatively? EGR Cooler?
Hey Ron... I'm replacing my oil cooler right now. It ruptured and dumped oil all in the antifreeze and I want able to flush it out.. Should I install this remote mount now ? Because I'm afraid it will clog up the new oil cooler once I start driving it again. This oil cooler only lasted 10k miles and went out again.
Is the remote front mounted cooler better suited for heavy towing?
do you have to add more oil with this setup? I just ordered this for my truck. any feedback if its worth it?
maybe a little the first time. but afterwards there is more trapped in it.
+DieselTechRon Thanks!
Keep on fixing em' on the other side.
I mean whats an abosolute temp for eot and coolant mine has never reached 200 higest ive seen is 194 but the difference between the two is anywhere from 4 to 15 depends on if im on a load or not.
Ron, do you think this works well long term? Would you put one in your truck? Nice video- thanks!
Good video thanks

Any chance you will make this video for the 6.4
How much would cost to bulletproof 6.0 ,2003 year f350?
Thanks ,
good video. tech exselente video
Do you still install this setup or is there a new and improved system?

that must be a good battery to hold that long.cranking
mine 3 or 4 turns it's dead👍
Well if it wasn't dead then I will bet it is dead now.
Need new batteries.
Why you replaced the oil cooler?
where's ur shop I need this on my truck
Hey Ron I know you edited the video, how long did it actually take you to do that oiler cooler job.
I put a bigger bulletproof diesel kit on and my temperature still 10° degrees up of coolant and it's 80 degrees out here in tx is that normal or am I running into more problems
Hi. Two things, is your vehicle reaching operating temperatures like 190 ? Ford says within 15° is normal .

This set up is really expensive, BD has us 6.0 owners by the balls. Great video though.

any idea what size those vacume lines are? My kit did not come with the ball or kit.Its separate and In not paying $43 for a $10 part
When you spend 2 grand on a cooler, i would just eat it and spend 40 on a 10 dollar part
15 to 10 yes but the oil is higher than the coolant

Why purchase a Ford if you have to get a Phd. and $50,000 to keep it running?
Whole lot easier than vw or Audi
because Chevy and dodge can't keep up lol I love cummins engines but dodge can't make anything good anymore, and Chevy is just a sellout along with the rest of government motors
by doing all this upgrade it shows that ford's engineers didn't do their job right when they built the 6.0🛌
Ford didnt build the motor but nice try
EPA ruined the diesel engines with all their bullshit mandates like an egr
International installed the 6.0 in a lot of commercial vehicles. Since they didn't have same emmision parts as F series. They were going for ever
