EGR delete - whats needed

[scha0786]

Own an 04' 6.0L and what to know what gaskets or any misc. items. I've been told the intake gaskets are reusable, is that true?

Buying the turbo drain o-rings.

Buying the updated turbo drain tube.

not buying intake gaskets.

What do I need to do to my oil cooler while I am in there?

Anything else that needs to be addressed while having the intake manifold off?

Thanks for the help.

I'm in the middle of doing an EGR delete on my 04. I picked up new intake manifold gaskets just to be safe and also got an oil cooler rebuild kit off of Ebay and the updated oil cooler drain tube. That's everything I am addressing.

Make sure you have a good tool set and several socket extensions to get the up pipe bolts off, that thing is a *****. I'm sure it won't be fun putting the new one on either.

I cleaned my turbo since I had it off, I was surprised how much crap had built up on the vanes and ring in only 70K. I'm sure there are a lot of guys here who can do this project pretty quickly but since my truck isn't a daily driver I'm taking my time on it.

how much was the oil cooler rebuild kit?

Do you think an impact would be a good idea on those up-pipe bolts?

I didn't need an impact wrench. I sprayed them with some PB Blaster and they broke free. Whats hard is since it's a bolt/nut you have to hold both ends so it doesn't spin while you try to unscrew it.

I found the oil cooler rebuild kit for $200. Part #3C3Z6A642CA There are a few on Ebay now.

the uppipes are a pita to get at and get off. especially the y pipe off the turbo. the flange likes to hang on real tight.

spray some pb blaster if you can reach it like a day before and you shouldnt have too much of a problem.

if you take the passenger side wheel well out it gives you tons of room back there. I used an impact with alot of extensions and was able to get it out. it helps having someone up top holding the bolt was spinning

Is there anything I should know about this oil cooler rebuild kit?

[Mtbkr]

The oil cooler rebuild is very easy and the kit should come with instructions. You simply sway the new cooler and o-rings into the top/cover of the old one.
