Ever had a blown oil cooler?
Oil cooler blown at 90000 miles. This happened after trip to the Grand Canyon. Trip started and ended from upstate N.Y. Ford flushed cooling system 10 times and replace oil cooler and EGR cooler. Truck runs great again. Has anyone had this happen? Camper is a 5th wheel and is about 12000lbs.

The EOC gets plugged with casting sand from the manufacture of the block, causes the EOC to fail. Install an A/M coolant filter to prevent this and premature water pump failure.

BTW the EOC is covered under the 5/100k engine warranty.

Truck ran fine with no problems and don't know how long it was like that.
I now remove cap on degras bottle and look inside when changing my oil.
