ok i have white smoke comeing out of the exaughst there was no antifreez in the tanks and it did get hot on me 1 time i was pulling a 4000 lb trailer never lost power just white smoke and it got hot need any info i can get and it i disconect the egr will i still have to replace the egr cooler that is my main question the mec says egr cooler is leaking but i am not a mec so i dont know we just baought the truck used so no warenty

 

Unplugging the EGR valve won't help you a bit. You're going to have to replace the EGR cooler and the oil cooler.

 

Very likely the EGR cooler is leaking, probably because the oil cooler is restricted and caused it to overheat. Smell the smoke and see if it smells "sweet" like antifreeze.

 

it smells sweet so egr cooler and oil cooler how much do ya think it will cost in labor

 

300 for oil cooler parts, buy a bullet proof egr cooler, look for links to web site. around an 8 hour shop time (50 -85) an hour. put on a coolant filter, this is a must!!!!!

 

Its not that hard to do the whole delete yourself. Including the oil cooler. there are so many people on here to help with any info you might need. The best thing i got out of this thing is i know now a lot more about the engine. Look in the tech folder

 

Do it yourself, I just finished doing the EGR block-off and new oil cooler took me a while but saved a ton of $

 

Don't keep running it that way, you can do a lot of damage!

 

the truck is parked till we can get it to the mech i hav f350 i own my uncle owns the 250 so he is a little pissed just baought it and drove 700 miles and this **** happend it happend on the last 1 mi or so so havent driven it much since maybe 3 miles like this but we will have to take it 20 or so to the mech can we drive it there?? please let me know thanks

 

I would not drive it that far. Coolant could get into the cylinders and could hydrolock it.
