Egr cooler died
Both me and my father have 2011 crew cab 6.7s. Both trucks have had to get new radiators, trans reprogrammed, and now my egr cooler needs to be replaced a week after my dads was done. Am I looking at more problems down the road?? Are there aftermarket items to install to avoid any further problems?? We both love the trucks and have only driven fords. I hope these trucks don't turn us into Chevy/ram owners. Any advice will help

EGR replacements have been really rare to hear about.
How many miles do you and your father have on your trucks? And how do you use your trucks?
I guess I'm wondering if this is a 130,000 mile common problem or a 50,000 city miles kind of problem.

Troy. I was just driving around and the check engine light came on. No problems driving or any other messages. When I took the truck in the cel was off. I left it at the dealership and they called me that the egr cooler needs to be replaced. I am really aggravated about the amount of money I've had to put into a truck that isn't even 2 years old yet. Won't have the truck till Friday

Yeah, I too have had the EGR value and its cooler replaced because the check engine light came on. This was all done at around 30,000 miles.

Here is a thread from TheDieselStop

Does the EGR cooler fall under warranty for 5 years or 100,000 miles?

Just the radiator is about 500 dollars, brother in laws co worker put a drill bit through one installing a plow and they called me hoping I knew of a cheaper option.
. Emission diesels like to be run hard and long, other wise stuff like egr coolers and intakes get gunked up. I don't know if anybody has quite figured it out yet.

I've heard of a few of these lately, one of them just yesterday was quoted $2,000 out of warranty.
