    Question Losing coolant, white smoke.... Head gaskets? EGR? HELP!!!

    I would also replace the oil cooler while you are there. If the egr cooler gets coolant after the oil cooler, and normally is the reason for the egr cooler to break. I just replaced mine (myself) and it was a chore but well worth it. After completing the repairs I had to remove injectors 5 and...

    white smoke engine locked

    Most egr.kits are about the same. I just installed one on my truck. I had to pull the injectors on 5 and 7 to push out the coolant from hydro lock.

    Disassembling EGR valve

    Okay I got the truck running again, EGR delete installed. I had to remove the injectors (5 &7) to push the water out of the cylinders for prevent hydrolock --- That was fun.

    Disassembling EGR valve

    that's what I was thinking. I think that I will just do that. If it doesn't throw a code and it looks like factory install all should be good.

    Disassembling EGR valve

    I was talking to a friend of mine about installing the EGR delete kit on my truck. He was telling me to remove the EGR valve, cut the lower mechanics of the valve and reinstall to maintain the OEM look instead of installing the cover plate as indicated in the kit. He says that it will look...

    Question Losing coolant, white smoke.... Head gaskets? EGR? HELP!!!

    Okay, the same thing happened to my truck. One of the ways to help tell where the leak is from is when you fill the degas bottle does the coolant blow out the degas due to over temp and and pressure it,is most likely a bad head gasket, if you smoke white and no pressure blow in the degas it is...

    Another White Smoke Thread

    Okay I have a response to this thread... I pulled off the EGR Cooler and found it leaking. Now I am installing the EGR delete and oil cooler. It is taking some time to complete but it has been a real learning experience. The EGR and oil cooler that I am having to replace is after only 1.5...

    Another White Smoke Thread

    Thanks I will give that a try. I know that there is coolant in there somewhere. I don't want to crank it over with the starter as it might bend something internal. I will keep you posted.

    Another White Smoke Thread

    While driving down the highway my engine started sputtering and puffing black smoke, so i moved over to the slow lane. Then all of a sudden white smoke came out the exhaust pipe, so I pulled over and stopped. I ran the engine a bit longer (with white smoke) to check the gauges. The temp was in...

    Question 10,000lb GVWR Pkg.

    I agree with the RIP-OFF part. When one installs a camper it is still removable so how does the DVM determine what 'permanent camper installation' is. I want to install and camper on my truck but don't want to have to pay the extra $200.00 weight fee with it on there.

    #3 clyinder circuit low code

    I am getting 3 cylinder circuit low code and my F250. I checked the wire harness and did not find any chaffing, checked the FICM and it reads 47.9 to 48.5 volts running so it is not a bad FICM.

    Turbo sticking

    Well, since I purchased the vehicle used, and not knowing when it was last changed, I think that I will just replace it. My truck has about 155K

    Recently got p0401 and p123b codes

    I believe that you might be correct on the P132b. "Improper boost pressure" I still have not checked my EGR (but will when time provides). I can hear the turbo winding when I get on the peddle but is does not sound as strong as it was in the past. I will try to get to checking on that this...

    Recently got p0401 and p123b codes

    My OBD reader says P123b and talks says boost pressure out of spec. I am still going to look at the EGR valve again. It is only about 1 old though.
