also ditch the edge, for a 6.0 sct is the way to go. forget banks, egde, predator, bully dog, superchips,etc, etc, have it custome tuned by innovative or elite diesel

Ill post when I find out what they say.

I had the same problem. If you still have the factory radiator it has a plastic top cap. I found mine was cracked (hair line) and would only leak at 2500 rpms under presure. I replaaced with a after market alumunium radiator. Or your EGR cooler is cracked! Order the EGR delete kit!
