Delete is cheaper than that and no more worries about EGR

That was probably me that had the $2000 quote. After the dealer turned the light off it stayed off for a couple of days and then came one again. It did turn off again after a few cold soaks. My plan is to take the cooler and egr valve out and clean it. I think this should do the trick. I just have a hard time believing that it could be plugged. Maybe a dirty valve that does not work properly all the time. I will keep you guys updated.

Yeah it was shifting weird. There was a long lag between 2 and 3. They said they had to replace 5 selinoids and it was no big deal. Also they flashed the trans comp with the new update that just came out in the service bulitin. Finally got the truck back tonight after a week in the shop.

I had three solenoids replaced in mine awhile back.
Routine fix.
Still not the best transmission on earth but it fixed a lot of issues and removed all of my safety concerns.

I experienced this same story today. I don't idle the truck and use PM22 in every tank. Good quality fuel, never any water in fuel.

Glad I am still in 3/36 with my 2011. No anger here, should be fixed on Wednesday. Driving around a new Ford Fusion. Nice to have a great dealer.

So what happens when the EGR cooler fails exactly? Do you get coolant coming out the exhaust like on the 6.0Ls? My six-oh had that symptom.

The EGR cooler is long gone from my 6.7L so I'll probably never find out, but I am still curious.
