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.

How much time to change EGR cooler on 6.0 powerstroke?
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 do you install an egr cooler?
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.
How do you change egr cooler on 6.0 power stroke?
remove turbo and intake then remove cooler from under side of intake.
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

2004 Ford F-250 6.0 EGR cooler failed at 34700 miles should there be a recall?
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?
What causes a isx Cummings to use water?
If you can't locate a leak, inspect the EGR cooler.
You have a 2004 359 peterbilt with c12catipillar that is leaking water and canoy find the source?
Check the EGR cooler.
Where is egr cooler on 2008 f350?
On a 2008 Ford F-350, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cooler is located on the driver's side of the engine, typically mounted to the rear of the engine block. It connects to the exhaust manifold and the intake manifold, allowing exhaust gases to be cooled before being recirculated into the intake. Accessing the EGR cooler may require removing components like the intake manifold or other related parts for proper service.
How do you determine if the EGR valve is bad?
How to Diagnose a Bad EGR Cooler: This method is easy to do and is a good "test" if you have any of the three symptoms above. To do this test, turn off your rig. When its all cooled down, remove the EGR valve (between your alternator and oil filter - it looks like a 7-ounce beer can with wires going to it) and look inside with a flash light. If it looks wet, gooey or steam cleaned, then you probably have EGR cooler problems.
How do you tell if 2.2l ecotec has an egr in head?
To determine if a 2.2L Ecotec engine has an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system integrated into the head, you can visually inspect the engine. Look for an EGR valve connected to the intake manifold or a pipe leading from the exhaust to the intake. Additionally, you can refer to the engine's service manual or specifications for details on its EGR system. If the engine has an EGR, it will typically have associated components like an EGR cooler or a solenoid.
What years of mack trucks does egr cooler 21301444 fit?
It fits the 460 hp E7 engine from the 2002 to 2007 model years.
