Must do each end of egr cooler cuz its going in the intake one way and to the exhaust manafold and turbo the other way
Might as well fix it if your going to take it far enough apart to install a Freeze Plug in EACH END of the Blown EGR Cooler
and if your going to pull it then Tig Weld the cooler
by the time you tear down to get the egr cooler out it would be crazy not to do the oil cooler too as thats the rreason for all this in the first place and your just about there a few more bolts is all
Hey to each there own I saw 1 guy run radiator stop leak in his truck LOL bet it made a mess

Ok need an opinion took a truck to a shop here in town apparently they deal with alot of the 6.0 trucks. multiple fleets. does 6400 seem like a good price for all of the bullet proof diesel kits with install?

The only thing that wasn't on the list but I payed for out of pocket was a new EGR valve.
When I took the truck to my FMC, I let them know I had CarMax warranty and they honored the warranty.

X2 here as well
Flush the cooling system good and get a coolant filter going
once the cooling system is cleaned out OEM OIL COOLER is fine ITS RARE for them to fail with a manufactur Flaw the normal failure is the coolant half plugged in oil cooler
Most of these shops wont flush the cooling system multiple times like it needs
But at 6400.00 Im shure they tell you anything you want to hear
