So that was my coolant lol. Little background, I posted when I first got the car. A friend of mine who doesn't know much about cars so he would've had to pay a shop for everything, wanted to sell his one owner ls because there was a ton of oil pouring into the cooling system. Everyone around him was telling him the motors shot or the heads or all the gaskets and so forth. I decided to take a gamble thinking it was the oil cooler and confirmed this with a ford tech buddy of mine who said that's a more common failure he's beginning to see. Long story short got a 03 ls, one owner, pretty damn clean, and with 114k on the clock for 800 bucks and spent about 300 dollars on a new cooler and hoses and some fluid and she's back in business.:D:D:D

Wow it looks like you just changed the oil.


Glad you got it figured out. That's a great deal for about a grand and labor.
 
How do you think the 6.0l Powerstroke guys feel when changing the oil cooler is preventive maintenance every 30k miles...
 
Thanks, I'm happy it was a minor problem. I had no idea those needed to be replaced that often on the 6.0's. I guess another thing to add to the studs and egr delete lol.
