Ya maybe thats what he meant. He said he spent 2000.00 on it having it fixed and said it was a EGR filter and took apart his motor to fix. I was just wanting to know if i get to have somthing like that fixed down the road.
thanks
thanks

You could delete it and never have to worry about it again, or get yourself a coolant filter and help it live a little longer http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=324 This is one of the BEST mods you can do for your truck. Period.

Welcome.... I'm new tooo. I've made a few posts and been reading.. I maybe have a biased view but, Yes 6.0L EGR cooler leak. BUT........ An '06 with 54K onit you have a factory FORD 5yr 100K warantee on Engine. Yes EGR Cooler, Headgaskets, EGR valve, Turbo, all are covered with $100.00 Dedutible, any FORD dealer in the country... The only concern would be if there are any mods ie: chip, "Ram airfilter," etc... This will void the extended coverage... FYI.... Good luck and Welcome again....

Welcome 4DTech. I assumed he knew that and would take it back to Ford for any repairs under 100k. I would still go with the coolant filter regardless.

D8chumley,
I just installed my coolant filter after doing a full EGR coler delete from FCDP. I am eager to see the stuff I find instide of it after a month.
If I am not mistaken the filters should be changed every 3 months twice, once @ 6 months, then annualy after that?

Mine was still filtering when I changed it while I was changing my lower hose and coolant. The crap that came out of that filter just by dumping it into an empty milk jug was amazing!
I took pics, but I didn't cut open the filter. What came out of it was enough to convince me I did the right thing by installing it.
