Is there green coolant in it? If so, that probably why the oil cooler plugged in the first place. I'd flush the coolant anyway before the replacement.
If you delete the egr cooler you might not throw a CEL. But if it does your SCT can turn it off.

No, there has never been green coolant in it, I meant gold. Good to know the SCT will turn that light off. Looked at sinister diesels oil cooler and egr delete or replacement for $665. Seems like a good deal, just not sure which way to go. Also probably a good time for coolant filter, and I thought about flushing again. BTW I got a free radiator today as tech broke a nipple off of plastic tank! That should eliminate a big portion of casting material.

I looked at the IPR kit and do like it (price is always nice). Also noticed they have a Gen3 delete. This looks just like the Gen2 but has 2 ports on top? I am assuming these are to run the full flow coolant filter they sell. Anyone know anything about the gen 3?

OK. I went through IPR research and ordered a gen3 egr delete kit with an oem oil cooler. I also got an updated stc fitting kit, turbo oil drain line, and new up-pipe, and to round out the expensive day I ordered the full flow coolant filter. I got Fumoto valves ordered from amazon and will do a coolant flush before I tear down top end. I read someone said to use CLR instead of VC9 to do my flush. Is CLR going to eat the iron the way VC9 will? I will be replacing said parts and then refilling with ELC coolant. Hopefully this will stop all of my future issues, as I am now hoping to be invested in truck for another 8 years!
