There is an aluminum pipe there, it's not high end polished or anything, does this mean there's been an EGR delete or just that the EGR cooler has been replaced? This is what I HATE about buying used vehicles, not knowing how much half @$$ work has been done that you can't just pick out by looking or test driving it.

ODDS are you Dont have an EGR deleate
They do weld the Ends of the Bigger round tube sometimes to deleate it and Stop the flow Its done like this sometimes to have a EGR Deleate but to remain stock looking but probably Not the case here

I went out and don't see any hoses under the intake leaking, but then again I don't see the EGR cooler so I really don't know what I'm looking for. It took about a gallon to fill it up from where it was to max full and it's SLOWLY draining...no puddles on ground so I'll go back in an hour or so to check to see maybe it just took a while to reach the ground.

His truck was an 03 so he has the good EGR cooler and would be fine
But I beleive he was going with an EGR deleate or it had one in the kit he Was going to get
There have been a few issues with the Black Onics head gaskets Stick with OEM there other than that the kit looked OK
might be able to get a better deal if you got the OEM parts from tousley ford or parts guy ed both have great prices
and then if you want an EGR deleate get it from another vendor
just keep in mind I went with the Sinister EGR deleate and lost some of the turbo whistle its still there just not as much
I hear it from the wife about the whistle isnt as much anymore since the deleate and she says I need to put it Back
IDK what to do If its GONE theres nothing to fail shure did like the whistle

sorry benny. i was just making a suggestion. from an engineer's point of view, and from personal experience, if one has to change the oil cooler, even if the egr cooler is fine or fairly new, it's advisable to also change the egr cooler. apparently, the ford master techs have also recommended tat to me. tat recommendation also came down from ford as well. jus my 2 cents.
i believe i'll chime in when asked.

Even me if they have the square EGR cooler those Deteariate Fast Like your 05
Just dont hear to many failures on the round ones kinda a gamble I know
No worries

the square ones suck unless its a BPD one thats been rebuilt
the round ones already has guts like the BPD one very Few failures they should have stuck with the round ones

Update...took my battieries in last night to have them tested, they said they were discharged a bit but they were fine so probably alternator MAYBE starter. I took the alternator in today and it was bad. I also replaced the reservoir cap (OEM part from Ford) and I don't know why but I have confidence that it will fix the problem. Also decided I'm going to sell it, it's a great truck but I saw my life flash before my eyes (and a LOT of money) when I had this problem and I don't want to have any of the typical 6.0 problems and a 500 dollar a month truck payment is more than what I want to pay for a truck that I don't really need, especially here in San Diego...so if anyone knows someone who's looking for a 6.0 let me know.
