6.0 egr failure
I have a 05 6.0 psd. What are signs of egr failure? My truck is studded and still seems to be losing coolant and truck isnt running right at all, a very big loss of power but the truck is NOT puking out the degas and no oil and water mix. Does blow a tiny amount of white smoke at takeoff and idle. someone told me that head gasket failure doesnt cause a big power loss so im thinking its egr failure, what do yall think?

You can park the truck nose down overnight.Next morning remove the EGR valve and look for coolant pooled in the intake. You can have some soot on the valve normally. If it looks steam cleaned or there is pooling of coolant the cooler is cracked. Just saw that Striderwv has you covered. All the info in his link.

I would be more concerned that coolant going into the combustion chamber creates a very high steam pressure which can compromise the head gaskets.

I have not heard of any drivability issues with egr failure. If an overheat happens because the coolant loss is not caught then the bigger problems happen. A lot of us monitor engine temps and some have installed low coolant alarms. If you are having drivability issues then there are more than likely some stored trouble codes even without the check engine light. Forscan/Forscan Lite download is an inexpensive capable code retriever. You would need to get a compatible OBD reader for whatever type of cell phone you have. An android will require bluetooth while Apple will use a wifi version OBD link.
