I've got to r&r my egr cooler(bulletproof) and a few other things while I am in there and want to r&r the headbolts w/ ARP. I don't plan on pulling the heads, because the the egr cooler blew under warranty 10K ago and the headgaskets were supposidly good then. The oil cooler wasn't replaced and the exact same thing happened, just white smoke...no puking, no coolant in the oil, etc.
Although I'm pretty confident here, I thought I'd be safe and have the coolant analyzed for hydrocarbons before I busted knuckles.
Problem is I don't know where to have it done.

 

i use deere for coolant analyisis, i'm pretty sure a lab that tests oil also will test coolant

 

Do you mean through a local John Deere farm equipment dealer?

 

yes, but most labs do both.

also cat, cummins, international, detroit diesel, and many others offer this service.
hope this helps

 

Thanks greatly. Just what I needed...a direction to start looking in.

 

I haven't looked, but I bet most of these labs will do it ............
