2015 with bad EGR cooler at 48,000 and a 2014 with a bad EGR cooler at 55,000. Happened two weeks apart. Both warranty covered. No other issues with either.
Deleting the whole system would be the best way to fix the problems. Ford told us they had upgraded the egr coolers and once they were changed we shouldn't see anymore problems. Seem like once a year we were still having them changed out. But like I said our trucks see a lot of idle time. Most of them are buffer trucks. The f550 we have quick is a sign truck doesn't has any issues but a lot less idle time on it.
Has anyone found any long term solutions on the EGR cooler? aftermarket solutions, etc?

I inquired to see if a solution for the 6.7 is in the works.Are you seeing the same trucks come back that have already had the EGR cooler replaced?

Most of the 6.7 EGR coolers we've done recently are construction trucks off of the 520 project with lots of engine hours and not a lot of miles...like companies that change oil based off of hours rather than miles. Throws the fleet management companies off every time I call them.
We have had one truck that has had 2 egr cooler done under warranty. The truck is just about to roll over 100k. We have another one at a different location with an engine light on now, more then likely an egr cooler. That truck has 102k and it's the first egr failure for that truck. It will be the first one I will have to do. They dont look hard to change.
