sn: running out of money

If the EGR cooler is leaking, it will cause coolant to get into the intake. It then gets past the rings and into the oil if you have blo-by issues. -- It will also wash out liners, bearings, rings, and just about every other part of your engine if you have been driving at around like that for a while. It also messes up the DOC and DPF and after-treatment system too.


If the EGR cooler was leaking into the engine...

* oil has to be changed.
* DOC and DPF have to be removed and cleaned/baked/flow tested.

* All EGR piping removed and cleaned out.
* EGR valve removed and cleaned out.
* The EGR Delta-p replaced and corssover pipes cleaned.
* IMAP and exhaust bp sensors replaced + exhaust bp snesor circuit cleaned out.
* DPF Delta-P crossover tubes cleaned out + DPF Delta-P sensor replaced.

If it has caused excess wear to the engine, then the engine will need an inframe.

If you have excess blo-by you will also not be able to keep the DOC and DPF filters from constantly clogging up and having regen issues.

-- is this starting to paint a clear picture of WHY YOU SHOULD NOT GO AROUND DRIVING A TRUCK WITH A LEAKY EGR COOLER!!?!??
