Broken down outside Bakersfield.

[notacarlo]

If anyone is near Bakersfield CA and you have some time, my uncles 6.0 blew the egr cooler. He's making the trek back to Dallas. He has a 30' boat that needs to be towed to the shop where the truck is being repaired. Any help would be greatly appreciated. He's a great guy.

can't help, but wtf is an egr cooler?

 

[notacarlo]

It cools the egr.


Ford (in all its wisdom) put a pipe inside a pipe. One with hot exhaust gas and the other with coolant from the radiator. The internal exhaust pipe ruptures and allows coolant into the exhaust stream preturbo! Common issue on the 6.0.

so they get free water injection and they consider it a "part failure"?

 

[notacarlo]

truck doesn't pull a boat so well in the California mountains like this. Plus the coolant is gone, causing overheat.

He's still out there and needs help.

Did you try PMing Mike to see if he had someone out there? BTW, will your Uncle admit being related?
