2003 6.0 liter oil cooler problem
 

I could use some help. My 03 6.o powerstroke apparantly blew it's oil cooler. Ove the phone diag by Ford Dealer. I have heard rumours that there are some aftermarket pieces available to make a fix for this and the egr?cooler which the dealer suggested I replace at the same time. Any help would be appreciated. I do have some knowledge, but am not a mechanic/technician by trade. I have worked on engines and such most of my life, farm/ranch type fix it stuff if that helps at all.

You could do an EGR Delete :U:

I would not reccomend removal of the egr or oil coolers, or deleting the EGR valve. The EGR on a 6.0 is kind of a failsafe wastegate if the VGT system does not operate properly. What is wrong with your truck? Oil in the coolant? What was the symptom? If the repair is under warranty, they should be replacing the EGR and oil cooler, as well as any other components necessary as per TSB 08-11-3. Also, if there is oil in the coolant, all the radiator hoses will need to be replaced, and the cooling system will have to be flushed using simple green and VC-9 iron cleaner. As I said, under warranty, they should be doing all this for you.
