EGR Valve replace - should I also replace cooler core?
Hey team.
I have the P2073 code, along with some EGRT and EGT codes, and my thoughts are to replace the EGR Valve. Truck is 2012 F350 6.7L C/C and I have no idea if the cooler core has ever been replaced or not. Currently we do NOT have the P0401 flow code.
Should I replace the cooler core along with gaskets, etc while I have the valve off?
Any advice on NOT breaking the exhaust header to EGR tube bolts? PB Blaster, and remove them immediately after a nice hot drive? I'm betting the bolts haven't been touched since new in 2012.
Cheers, Thanks

What are the other codes? That would help. By itself, P2073 can be several things :
- Leaks or restrictions in the intake air system and charge air cooler (CAC)
- Leaks or restrictions in the crankcase ventilation system
- Damaged mass air flow (MAF)/intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- Biased MAF/IAT sensor
- Damaged exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve
