FITMENT
- 2008-2010 6.4L Ford Powerstroke F-250 F-350 F-450 F-550 Super Duty Turbo Diesel.
- Compatible with both Pickup models and Cab & Chassis models.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
-
The stock dual EGR coolers on the Ford 6.4L Powerstroke are notorious engineered disasters. Prone to heavy soot blockage and rapid thermal cracking, failed coolers leak coolant into your intake, destroying your cylinder heads and causing irreversible engine failure.
- The Heavy-Duty 6.4L EGR Basic Delete Kit completely deletes both the high-pressure and low-pressure factory coolers, alongside the sticky EGR valve. This streamlined package delivers 100% of the reliability protection your truck needs, stripping away unnecessary add-ons
Key Features
- Permanently removes both factory EGR coolers and the EGR valve assembly to entirely eliminate coolant leakage vectors.
- Streamlined Direct Bolt-on: Focuses purely on isolating the main failure points, offering massive repair savings without paying for unnecessary aesthetic add-ons.
- Lower EGTs & Engine Temps: Stops hot exhaust gasses from entering the motor, significantly reducing Exhaust Gas Temperatures and overall engine thermal load.
- Better Fuel Economy: Delivers cleaner combustion and smoother performance by blocking sticky diesel soot from entering your engine cylinders.
FAQ
Q: Does removing the EGR coolers with this basic kit still fix the head gasket issues?
A: Yes, The root cause of blown head gaskets on the 6.4L is coolant leaking from cracked internal cooler fins into the cylinders. Because this basic kit completely removes both coolers and blocks the exhaust ports, the hydro-locking threat is permanently eliminated.
Q: What should I do with my stock EGR valve after installing this basic kit?
A: You will physically remove the internal valve components and secure our block-off plate over the port. However, you should leave the electronics/wiring harness plugged in or handled via your custom delete tune settings to prevent the vehicle computer from throwing secondary electrical sensor faults.
Q: Does this basic kit require cab-off to install on a Cab & Chassis truck?
A: No, you do not need to pull the truck cab off the frame. While a 6.4L engine bay is extremely tight and crowded, this basic kit can be fully installed from the top end inside the engine bay, though removing the turbos makes accessing the rear cooler bolts much easier.
Q: Why does my 6.4L dual cooler system fail faster under heavy towing or heavy hauling?
A: Heavy towing generates extremely high EGTs. The constant thermal expansion and contraction cause the thin internal fins of the stock coolers to fatigue and crack much quicker, which is why commercial utility trucks benefit the most from a physical delete.
