Maybe the thermostat, coolant hoses and CAC clamps. But other than having the coolant out of the engine...the rest you can do at some other time.You could pressure test it...but I've yet to deal with that on mine. Was there coolant in your intake before you tore everything apart? That would be an indicator if it was leaking.

OK what a day!! Oil cooler is out, that is a lot of work!! OK so what is the best way to clean the valley the cooler sits in, I have it pretty clean now but is there anything special I should do? And is OK to spray some parts with some parts cleaner to clean them up before I put them back in.
Oh and intake is soaking in purple power as we speak and will over night

Best to use carb cleaner for those sensors you pulled out of the intake manafold to clean

No there was no coolant that came out of the egr othere than from where it goes into the oil cooler. I looked in the end of it and it looks really dry. I did find out that I have the square egr cooler, boo,lol

The TSB says to air test the cooler to 30 psi. It might take an extended time for any air bubbles to show up if the leak is small.

I used a baster and a cut up plastic bottle in the sump. NO RAGS-lint can clog. Replace the screen in the bottom of the sump. Bismic has some good pics and directions on how to clean/recondition the turbo in his gallery. Maybe the blue spring update, but like zhilton says, you can do that at another time. Check yur CAC boots if they were oily or they are cracked up, replace them.

Oil cooler is in and parts are cleaned, but I'm in holding pattern due to me waiting on my egr delete should be here today I hope. Lol, is there anything I can do until it gets here. I think the intake can't go in until egr egr gets here
