Well...
Well been having the coolant puking out of the degas. Has a relatively new Stant cap. After driving home from work the other day I parked it downhill and pulled the EGR valve this morning. It looks fairly clean, thin layer of soot but no heavy gunk, first one inspected. BUT it's dry and so is the intake. Freakin HG! I know this is just depression and denial asking but is there ANY other thing that can cause over pressurization? Wrong mixture of coolant, bad kinooter valve and Johnson rod, I just bought another new degas cap. Just changed the cooler hose to the blue one. Seperated cleaned and reassembled the turbo. Did the IPR screen and gasket kit and changed the IPR harness. Did the ICP and harness last October. Still gonna do a delete and I guess start pricing out shops for the head gaskets. 2003 Excursion 6.0. Thanks everyone

Be sure when you are shopping around you ask how familiar they are with the 6.0, and more importantly head gasket R and R. They should be able to ball park it fairly soon, if they tell you "will call you back with quote" then run for the hills and find another shop.
Where are you located? Ask around, do some research.
Double check that it's not the degas bottle itself leaking.
Any chance you have thought of doing it your self?

Don't worry your not alone...
Mine is starting to push coolant as well, egr has already been removed.
Im either going to do it myself in my buddies garage who has a lift or have a local diesel shop do it. I talked to a local Ford dealer but they did not give me a warm fuzzy about it, their price was 3500 and the diesel shop was 5000. The diesel shop was very confident in that they could do the job right the first time without issue. Im now waiting to finalize my taxes to see which direction on going to go...
