I just bought a 2005 f350 6.0 diesel that already had a egr delete and head studs done
I found diesel in the coolant and have flused the system to see maybe the person who worked on it never cleaned the coolant or if its still leaking. I did pull the egr valve and it is damp inside. what problems could I be looking at?

 

Cylinder head(s) require replacement. End of discussion.

 

the truck has no other side effects no loss of power no smoking
could it possibly be a improper egr delete

 

Okay, let's clarify something. You state that you are having DIESEL FUEL (not engine oil) contaminate the engine's cooling system, correct? You also state that you have flushed the cooling system out, but continue to have diesel fuel getting into the cooling system, did I understand this correctly? You go on to state that you just had your head studs and EGR system deleted recently, correct? How long ago? How many miles have been driven since this job was done. Was this a pre-existing issue?

 

Nope dezal fuel in coolant = BAD Heads

the injector cups are leaking

sorrey man whoever truck this was new it was like this probably dumped the money at headstuds thinking it would solve the problem NOT and dumped it on you

 

the egr delete was just done right before i bought it and i dont know when the studs were done the guy said it started smoking then had the egr delete done
by a friend

 

so im concerned it the egr delete may have not been done right

 

Even if they Screwed the EGR Deleate up BAD just NO WAY it would cause Diesel fuel in Coolant
Impossible

 

i would trust the ford mechanic, my 2 cents

 

are you SURE its diesel and not oil?

 

yea its diesel

 

that sucks Sorrey to hear that

how long have you had the truck??

Injector cups are supposed to be replacable but I havent heard of anyone being sucessful from what I get out of it that they usually still leak
thats probably why M-chane recomends new heads

read thru this

 

I have had the truck about a month

 

thats what I was guessing


was it a private party or a dealer

a honest dealer may help IDK
