Updated EGR Cooler - single unit instead of dual unit.

I don't know how many of you know, or why you'd need to, but I was interested to learn that international has updated it's version of the 6.4 to a single EGR cooler instead of the dual cooler.

I couldn't find a picture, but I'm just wondering if there is really any advantages as opposed to the original 2 part EGR cooler.

I have to imagine anyone with a shot cooler would most likely delete it all together, but if you can't- maybe this is an option.

The maxforce motor is the same as ours but I don't know if the mounting of the coolers would adapt.

Interesting thought. I bet the reasoning behind the two coolers for us was to get the temps down since we are generally running higher HP.

That would be awesome, this may prove to be a valuable piece of information to someone yet.

The 2010+ 6.4 Maxxforce uses a LOT more EGR than our trucks, so it stands to reason that the cooler would be much better built.

Well they have a full service shop so maybe I can speak directly with a tech. They take care of it all there.

If you end up going there, ask them if the CGI block has the same external dimensions.

I started a thread the other day, entertaining the thought of doing a CGI swap for a 1000 HP monster 6.4.

I didn't get by there tonight. Had to rescue a kid from the college dorms for a day, but will try tomorrow.
