should be just getting broke in by now...my list is lots longer than that one and it runs great now...

good luck, and if everything was done correctly you should have no problems.

enjoy

Sounds like all the common things have already been done, althought sometimes they reoccur. Those being the Headgaskets, EGR cooler, and EGR valve.

You should be good to go. Good luck!

They should have used the updated headgaskets, but as far as the EGR cooler and valve go, they're just stock replacements.

I would recommend putting a coolant filter on the truck ASAP, it will get the remaining casting sand out of the coolant system, and will increase the life of the water pump, EGR cooler and Oil cooler. It's cheap insurance.
