    Pros and Cons 06 and 07 6.0 Diesel

    dpantazis You said--(there was an early midyear change in the coolant used for 6.0's. a late 06 or 07 would hopefully have the right stuff in it.) Ford only uses the Ford Gold Junk in the 6.0, you can believe what you want, but the biggest problem with the 6.0 is the Gold junk can't take the...
