    Where's the best place and price for the ELC swap?

    Long story short, I've already been through the failed cooling system once under warranty... I did buy the ESP extended but would much rather not take any chances. I am looking for a reputable shop and a fair price as I just do not have time to do it myself. I called Redlands Truck and RV as they came highly reccomended but almost fell out of my chair when their service guy told me $455.00 to do the job. It can be in the IE or in OC since I work in OC and live in Riverside.

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome To DieselTech1.Com

    They are a sponsor of SoCAPS. Call Loren and tell him you are with the club. They are a great shop.

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    Whats an ELC? If you purchased the extended plan and it's still active I would take the truck over to Sunrise Ford and have them perform the work.

    ELC is the International coolant that was reccomended for the 6.0 when built. The Ford Gold is what seams to be causing so many cooling system issues because it gels up. ELC is not supposed to gel at all, Ford does not do the swap I'm looking for... I called DieselTech(Loren's on Vaca) and the guy that answered had never heard of what I'm looking for either. Any other suggestions are always appreciated :O)

    I know both Loren from Diesel Tech and John from Domestic Diesel.
    I can tell you both are good mechanics and, above, all honest.
    I wouldn't hesitate to take my truck to either one!!

    Always nice to get positive feedback on our sponsors!!

    I know most of us (Bobby Williams and the moderators) won't take a sponsorship for SoCAPS unless we ourselves believe in the product and/or service! :)

    Well, I took the truck to John @ Domestic this past Thursday and I can't say enough good stuff about him and their service. Took it in last minute and got it don quickly and reasonably priced. Thank's again for getting me in and giving my 6.0 a clean bill of health! :peace:
