I just answered you in your post in the super duty section. They don't like it when you post the same question in multiple sections, pick one. And for a reference to my thread titles the same: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ng-issues.html

I had puking issues for two years but it didn't seem bad enough to be head gaskets. Just before my warrenty expired I took it in for a oil leak and mentioned the puking. After testing the truck dealer replaced the oil cooler and found the head gaskets were leaking. He installed arp studs at my cost and my truck hasn't puked a drop since.

DITTOs......I had minor puking issues for about 2 years but no exhaust gas in the degas tank. So I surmized that mine was from my EGR cooler becoming clogged causing the coolant to flash to steam, thus puking. I purchased a Combustion Gas Analyzer Kit for about $50 off the internet and tested mine. Had no exhaust gas in my coolant until March 09 and, of course, my warranty ended in November 08. Replaced the head bolts one at a time with ARP studs. I did not change the HGs. Also installed the Neal Tech upgraded EGR cooler. Puking issues are a bad memory.
