Just buy a delete kit, your engine will be better for it
Do NOT install a EGR cooler delete kit on a Ford 6.0L diesel!!!. The engine was designed to have it because international payed very, very, intellegent engineers to figure out why it is needed and it's function in the over all scheme of things. Makes sense right?? Millions were probably spent on the design and testing of the cooler and these aftermarket company's don't even have a 64th of the money put into testing and design as international did so I'd stick with the people that know what they are doing and not some hole in the wall company that thinks they are making something better and actually they are screwing up alot of things by doing this. Some kits are better then others but the bottom line is I have seen burnt, crispy, melted egr valves due to the delete kits being installed!! Yes now that the exhaust gas isn't cooled by the coolant that super heated exhaust gas that is passing threw the egr valve is 10 times hotter and causes many problems in some cases. A much better solution is a kit we use that basically apears stock and the cooler has been gutted and stronger more robust tubes are installed in the housing of the cooler and they hold up like the 2003 coolers unlike the later weaker 2004-2007 coolers that are known garbage. The company has a great kit I have installed that comes with new egr cooler, oil cooler housing which moves the oil threw an auxillary oil filter then threw an air to air cooler and back to the engine. It not only adds approx 7-8qts of oil to the system for better longevity of the oil but it lowers ECT and EOT temps by 10+degrees. After installing the kits we road test and monitor these pids to confirm proper operation of the system and everyone I've done has operated correctly and the temps are anywhere from 10-13degrees lower on bothe Engine coolant temp and Engine Oil Temp!! Then companys name is Bullet Proof Diesel. I would recommend visiting their web-site and check out a better solution for the many 6.0L problems with the egr and oil coolers. Hope this helped. Good luck

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 much will it cost to replace egr cooler?
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

What is the cause of bubbles in cooling system of a fuso year 2007 diesel?
Probably a blown head gasket - but these also have an EGR cooler that if damaged could cause the same thing. Check the cooler first it could be pushing exhaust into the cooling system.

EGR Deactivated ( Plugged? ) NOX exceeds allowable spec. NOX are Oxides of Nitrogen and nasty smog causing junk. Common for this year to plug the EGR cooler or have an EGR failure. This is also one of the codes you run into if you don't do your emissions delete correctly.

Excessive white smoke could mean a bad egr cooler which means it is burning coolant or it could be unburned fuel. You need to check and see what it smells like. Egr coolers are only on newer vehicles.
