I had picked up an EGT cooler on Ebay so I can use it as a core.
It was only $25.00. The seller said it was remove for a delete
install. So I though so long as I stay under $50.00 total I would get
it. Well it got here today and I got it home opened the package and
to my surprise I look in the ports and see this


So I am thinking that I got the better deal. I need to test it for a leak.
What do you guys think?

That IS indeed a BPD EGR cooler. 100% sure.

 

YES!


M-Chan Thank You for the verification.
Saved me some $$$

SCORE!!!!!!!!

 

I have installed ONE BPD EGR cooler so far. And I can tell you there is ZERO change in the way the engine performs from changing it out from the factory EGR cooler. By change I mean in terms of EGR performance.

 

Well I did tune my EGR valve to an off state
with the SCT and the SRL tunes. I just wanted
to make sure that it would not pop on me some time.

Is there a quick test to make sure it's not leaking?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but i don't think it is a bpd egr cooler. Its a close knockoff

 

I really should clean it and take new photos. There is a number stamped
on the center section of it and that may be the give away as to who made it.
If it's not BPD who else makes that style of cooler?

Sean :drink

 

look at the spacing on the tubes compared to my last post. i just picked up mine today from bpd in person. if you can look at it and tell me the internal tube count i'll look at mine and see if i can snap a pic of it and post it tomorrow. You show me yours and i'll show you mine.lol

 

There are six big round tubes in the original picture posted. That's a dead giveaway that it's not the factory OEM EGR cooler.

 

Yes mike, i agree, but, his question was is it a bpd egr cooler. I don't think it is

 

Looks like the Sinister Cooler. BPD has the bigger tubes.



Josh

 

yeah even the bpd the top and bottom row are offset from each other not in a parallel line

 

Sean - I assume that is a square cooler you bought? I can't really tell from your pic.

 

Yes it's square


Better shot of inside. It has 6 equally spaced tubes

The number on the side was
1844085C7
08252 1836
The only other markings were the casting numbers on the ends
and I am guessing that everyone is reusing the Ford/Navistar units.
So that won't tell me anything. On the size of the tube a .22cal
brush slips in a has room the 9mm brush fit in like it was in a
barrel and I did not want to get that stuck. I tool my hole gauge
set and micrometer and found the tube to be about 0.270" ID.
