Actually, Ford's procedure is to replace the oil cooler if the EGR cooler fails. If the oil cooler fails or the temp spread is out of spec, they will only replace the oil cooler and will check the EGR cooler. If the EGR cooler passes inspection, then it will go back in.

The early EGR cooler has the "tubes".

The later ones (late 04 and up) have the "fins".

I do have to say that I got a hum drone sound now, debating taking her back in but I cant really loose the truck right now again. im thinking its either the new parts in the turbo or its that drone from the TSB.
tat hum drone sound might be the powerstroke whistle. remember, hear the whistle and smell the smoke, u've jus been passed by a powerstroke. lmao!

Stay on top of the coolant level - it sounds like this hasn't been fixed yet ........

It sounds like a good dealership should give them some verbal reps on here so others know about a good service tech at a good dealership that they can take their truck to. Just my opinion and I got allot of those sometimes Glad to hear you got taken care of.

Sry I've been in the field, well still in the field training till Friday. So I took her in, tech said sound is normal and prob didn't hear it before because the turbo was messed up and or dirty. I'm not worried at all. Oh and it was north county ford that helped me out. For all our southern ca users.
