My 07 has 53,000 amd i was wondering at what mileage one should do the egr delete

 

Exactly my milage and curious about this also. Is it one of those if it aint broke dont fix it? Or if you have the cash do it now before a prob? I'll be following this topic.

 

i have known of two that have experienced egr cooler failure around 100k on stock trucks not useing fuel additives.

My thoughts are this needs to be done maybe the oil cooler moved if you tow alot. Studs, not sure if they are even necessary on stock trucks. Their are a bizillion 6.0 IntH engines out there working hard and i have not heard of head problems with them have you

 

465000km, original EGR still working. Valve and cooler.

 

Wow nice to hear! You obviously do some serious driving.

 

Monitor EOT & ECT and you'll know. Then you can decide if you want to replace or delete. 100k on mine with no issues yet. When it's time I'm not deleting, just replacing.

 

80000km per year.

 

117k and only updated STC fitting and EGR/EGR Cooler/Oil cooler issue. Other then that shes been amazing (knock on wood) 2nd owner. Bought her with 60k

 

Wow! What fuel additives do you use?
Thanks for the input.

 

my uncles 04 F550 that hauls mason sand and tows a bobcat everyday and plows in the winter has around 68000 miles. its stock besides a dieselsite intercooler boot. 4 injectors have been replaced and the other 4 are being replaced saturday

 

i suspect the big culprit in much of the 6.0 problem besides after market tuners is the egr cooler. I think i'm gonna do an egr delete here very soon.
Thanks

 

Does your uncle use a feul additive? I learned my lesson there and religously do in my deisels and use lucas intermittantly in my gassers

 

I'm not convinced an EGR delete is the end all be all fix. Granted I don't know anywhere near what other guys here know but if it were me I wouldn't worry about it until the EOT/ECT delta gets up there and even at that point I would probably use a bulletproof EGR cooler versus deleting the whole system.

 

the biggest culprit is the ford gold coolant flushing out your system with restore an restore plus to get the ford gold crap completly out an swap it out with cat coolant can save ur oil cooler an your egr cooler

 

he asked if i was running anything in my 5.4 and i told him i use that lucas stuff, injector cleaner and something else, i forget. and he just said sounds good, cant hurt i guess. but thats only been the last 2000 miles or less.
