ARP studs and headgaskets?

[blackshadow69]

I learned a lot of helpful info on this site and just wanted to get some opinions on this subject. I have 2006 f250 6.0 with 81000 miles, I've done a few mods (coolant filter, upgraded exhaust, oil bypass filter and edge monitor) and was wondering if I should go ahead and pay out of pocket for ARP studs and head gaskets or wait and see if problem comes up under warranty? It has had 2 EGR issues about 15000 miles ago but nothing recently. If suggestions are to have it done can anyone suggest good shop in Orlando FL. area?

I would say to wait you have almost 20,000 miles left on your warranty. What are you temp reading on the EOT&ECT. Ford specks are no more that 15 deg. difference on the freeway running 55-60 mph, if they are your oil cooler is pluged. I am running 6 deg pulling a 14000 lb Alpenlite 5er and 10-12 in the mountains. One other mod you need is to install a fuel pressure gauge because low fuel pressure will kill injectors. Mine we 50 lbs at idle and 44-45 WOT then i installed a Reg. Kit and now my pressures are 65 idle and 62 WOT. Hope this helps.

My EOT and ECT run within 7to 9 degs pulling a 18' trailer. I have noticed other post about upgraded fuel pressure spring but not quite sure what that is. It it reasonably easy to install yourself? What type? Where is best place to get one? Also what type fuel pressure gauge do you recommend? And how easy is gauge to install?

I have herd that some ford dealer will not put in the ARP studs do to warranty. They want to do it with all ford parts. If you do it your self use the black onyx head gaskets.
