Coolant in intake?
I just completed an EGR delete and well putting the kit on I noticed there was coolant in the charge air pipes and the intake manifold.
What could be causing this? I thought the charge air cooler was air to air how could coolant get in there?
Not talking a ton of it but some obvious drops and a coolant film mixed with the soot.

Yeap, pretty much a dead section of the forum. The 6.4’s have pissed off the majority of their owners such that there are few fanboys left, there are some, but their numbers are small and getting smaller every day.
As for coolant in the intake, well,, most likely a leaking EGR cooler. Since you said you found it during a delete ( which were not supposed to even talk about out of fear for the tyrannical EPA coming down on us) , I’d say to keep an eye on your degas bottle level going forward and see if it’s changing. You may have inadvertently fixed an issue you didn’t even know you had.
