Unhappy 05 engine erg/oil cooler, injector woes

hey guys posted some problems with my truck a few weeks back, with the oil cooler and fuel in oil. well the dealer i called today said oil cooler, egr cooler, egr valve and 5 fuel injectors need replaced now. i figured that the oil cooler would take out the egr cooler from being clogged? also but what would cause the injectors to leak? i change the fuel filters every 7000mi and use clean fuel and powerservice at every fillup why would they be leaking? bad seals, bad design or design warpage ? please help so that i can stop doing or start doing someting that will make the injectors last longer than 33k.

What oil are you using which might or might not make a difference on the injectors. Are you using straight diesel or Bio ???

it sounds like your doing everything you can do to keep your engine running right. although at your mileage these issues are not typical its not unheard of. i have had all the stuff you mentioned go bad in my truck too.
