6.0 Upgraded EGR Cooler | MKM Customs 6.0L Ford Powerstroke EGR Delete Kit

Yeah it's a pretty popular kit. You can get very similar kits for around 1/2 the price on ebay though. I paid $185 shipped for my river city diesel kit, same thing without the bling.

Most of the problems with the EGR cooler stem from the oil cooler itself. The best $120 anyone can spend on a 6.0 is a coolant filter.

I picked one up on E-Bay for $128, pretty much the same thing. Don't even think its an 6~8 hour job, try 12~16hrs.:ouch:

Furthermore, I really recommend watching the video in "what mount pattern" before going in work. This video is a wealth of information if you haven't done anything to your truck.

Finally, If you have a breaker bar of a long torque wrench, remove the aft plastic shroud near the intake elbow, this will give enough access to the belt tensioner IF you are a single alternator. I maxed out my torque wrench setting, then used it to unload the tensioner.

Take your time, be patient, and expect to break EVERY exhaust bolt you touch!
