I have an 06 F-250 with the 6.0 ltr.
This past winter, I started up the truck one morning and it I began to blow white smoke!
Yep, EGR cooler!!
After asking around, I elected to install a new factory EGR cooler along with a new oil cooler. What a PITA job!!!!
I was thinking of doing the EGR by pass fix, but read that it will throw engine codes and I'd probably require a programmer like an SCT tuner with a custom tune to avoid an engine code.
I'm currently using an Edge Platinum tuner and I'm told it won't cancel the engine code.
Well, on Sunday morning I started up my truck, and guess what?! White smoke out the tail pipe! AGAIN!
So, what do you guys think I should do?
Should I install an EGR bypass? Will it cause an engine code? Will the motor go into limp mode?
Or, when it first went, I was looking at the Bulletproof cooler, which has s.s. tubes instead of the factory core, so I am considering it now as well.
I imagine I'll need to replace the oil cooler again as well!
Any opinions are welcome.
And no, I'm not at the point of burning it to the ground................................At least not Yet!
I'm going to start to take it apart this weekend....................again!
So I need to decide what parts to order.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
