To install an EGR cooler, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the necessary components, such as the intake manifold and any associated hoses, to access the EGR cooler. Install the new EGR cooler by aligning it with the mounting points and securing it with bolts, then reconnect all hoses and components. Finally, refill any lost fluids, reconnect the battery, and run the engine to check for leaks and proper operation.
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.
EGR sensor ( gas temperature sensor ) is monted near the EGR valve, which is install into the EGR tube.
remove turbo and intake then remove cooler from under side of intake.
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
**Removing the old EGR valve** 1. Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve: § Disconnect the vacuum line. § Disconnect EGR tube nut. 2. Remove the EGR valve: § Remove the two bolts. § Remove and discard the old gasket. **To Install the new EGR valve** § Install the new gasket. § Install the two bolts. Tighten the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm). 3. Connect the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve: § Connect EGR tube nut. Tighten the nut to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm). § Connect the vacuum line. 4. Carefully clean both sealing surfaces and install a new EGR valve gasket. You're done!
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?
If you can't locate a leak, inspect the EGR cooler.
1. Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable. 2. Remove accessory drive belt 3. Remove generator mounting bolts and reposition generator 4. Unlock and disconnect the electrical connector from the EGR valve. 5. Remove the 2 EGR tube bolts.1. Install a new gasket on the EGR valve.{| |- | 2. Position EGR valve to cylinder head and install the 2 mounting bolts. 3. Tighten EGR valve mounting bolts to 31 N·m (23 ft. lbs.). 4. Position EGR tube to EGR valve and install the 2 mounting bolts. 5. Tighten EGR tube mounting bolts to 13 N·m (115 in. lbs.). 6. Connect electrical connector to EGR valve. 7. Install generator mounting bolts 8. Install accessory drive belt 9. Connect negative battery cable.|}
The EGR valve and electrical transducer should be replaced at the same time as they are matched. Remove EGR transducer from the air inlet duct. Disconnect vacuum supply tube from EGR transducer solenoid. Remove air inlet duct. Remove EGR tube to EGR valve screws. Remove EGR valve mounting screws. Remove EGR valve and transducer. Clean gasket surfaces. Discard old gaskets. If necessary, clean EGR passages. Loosely install EGR valve with new gaskets and finer tighten EGR tube fasteners. Tighten tube fasteners to 95 in lb, tighten EGR valve mounting screws to 200 in lb. Install air inlet duct. Connect vacuum supply tube to solenoid. Attach electrical connector to solenoid. Install EGR transducer onto air inlet duct.
An EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Cooler is a heat exchanger installed in the EGR circuit. The EGR system recirculates exhaust back to the engine in order to reduce NOX (Nitrous Oxide) emissions. The cooler simply cools the exhaust gas prior to gas being reintroduced into the engine. By cooling the gas the combustion temperature is reduced and NOX also as NOX is formed at higher temperatures. Various cooler (heat exchanger) technologies are used by manufacturers, although tube and shell is the most common type used currently. Coolers will vary in size depending on the engine size and the emission standard the engine must comply with.
Remove the wiring harness from your 2000 Dodge Stratus EGR valve. Remove the EGR valve retaining screws. Reverse the process to install the new EGR valve.
