the egr valve on a 2004 f350 with a 6.0 diesel is located directly behind the fan shroud top and center on the engine. If you follow the large tube coming from the drivers side of the air to air cooler towards the center line of the engine you will see it make a sharp 90 degree turn down into the intake manifold and the egr is just towards the passenger side of the engine compartment. It has a three wire plug connected in the top.
i had the same issue on mine it was a EGR....
yes
8-10 hrs as much as 13 hrs depending on what all went wrong with it. Oil cooler should be replaced at the same time if egr cooler failed. that includes R&R of egr cooler, Oil cooler and some time to flush and refill cooling system and oil change or venting of water from cylinders.
how can i delete a egr vavle on 1997 ford f350 with electronic fuel injection, its a7.5 gas 460
remove turbo and intake then remove cooler from under side of intake.

.. is going to depend on which engine you have.

I have replaced too many to count ever sense the egr cooler's were introduced in mid 03. The reason the coolers are blowing is caused by heat restricted oil coolers. It is located right in the valley. Ford now recommends replacement of the oil cooler because the coolant is first pumped to the oil cooler then a direct path to the egr cooler. Well we finally figured that the oil cooler's become restricted due to lack of maintenence (coolant) and or just because. So the lack of coolant flowing threw the oil cooler starved the egr of coolant and it's cooling abilities so then the welds inside the cooler melt and fracture causing coolant and water to enter the intake and exhaust system. Our shop charges 15-16 hours to do the job at 110 an hour. This includes both the oil cooler, egr cooler, steam cleaning of intake to remove carbon build up, and cleaning the rusty turbo due to the water entering it. The cost of the parts can vary and the repair costs about $3300-4000. How this is the only way to do it. If you just replace the egr cooler and not the oil cooler you will not be correcting the main cause. In turn paying for it twice maybe three times. If the egr cooler is just replaced about $1000-1200 Maybe less due to parts. Labor would be about 6.5-7 hr. Well do it right the first time and you won't be wasting money down the road. Good luck Powerstroke57
99 percent of the time it is the egr cooler. There was a recal on it look for the update verson of the cooler and have it replaced.. Tj
Yes. My 2004 F-250 6.0 Powerstroke's EGR cooler also just failed at 34,820 miles. Took it to Ford today. Last November the exhaust system failed and crankcase gaskets started leaking, cost Ford $2,250.00 of warranty to fix. Now the EGR cooler. What's next?
