I have been towing for the last 4 years and programed. I made the biggest mistake of believing the coolant was clean and did not analysed the dirt collecting in the Degas tank. The Gold Junk will leave a sludge in the Degas tank and you don't need gauges to tell that the cooler is plugging, because it is, the same junk is in the radiator, Heater core, hoses and any place there is a coolant restriction.
I Installed ELC EC-1 Cat Approved coolant and in 2 weeks all of my coolant system was clean and the coolant still could not drop the delta and I had to change the cooler. I am sure if I would have done the switch earlier like my friends are doing according to my advise and experience, I would have saved the cooler.
No one will make me think that the Ford Gold junk is of any value in EGR Equiped Diesel, It is not designed for it and Ford has done 1000000's of repairs and blamed IH in order to hide from the problem. Its a Cash cow for technicians and companys selling products while still incouraging the use of the Gold Junk.
I will stick to what makes my trucks work satisfactory. This is the 3rd diesel I owned (2 Previous GM's) with major problems and repaired only by owner's cheap fix unapproved by a stupid company, and believe in what is good for me.
