Superheats the coolant..... superheated coolant cannot expand under the heads...the 6.0 has torque to yield head bolts. Pressure lifts the heads and the gaskets are compromised.

How does it "superheat" the coolant?

Sorry - was confusing the EGR cooler with the engine oil cooler... however when one fails, the other isn't far behind. If the ENGINE oil cooler plugs, then my statement holds. Again I apologize for reading something that wasn't really there.
