they are replacing the heads for one of two reasons.....either they found bent rods when they pulled them off.....and there has been some issues with valves sticking on some motors......or they are warped.....and when i say warped...i think spec is under 3 thousanths of an inch between opposite corners......the egr valve....could be for sticking...or they could have meant egr cooler...which would leak coolant into the combustion system....i have seen plenty of both......rear main is kinda common.....although it could be a "just in case" while the motor is out since there may have been oil in that area, even though it may have come from somewhere else......and whoever is working on it doesnt know what the *%^$%#$$ they are doing if they pulled the front clip AND partially raised the cab. i leave the front clip entierly in tact....and raise the cab to 7 feet in the air. the only thing on the ground foreward of the bed are the frame, suspention, front bumper, and drivetrain.......keep an eye on them and be cautious with the repair.....ask the service manager to go on a ride with you and look for problems before you actually take it from them.....im kinda suspicious of the experience of the tech working on it.........
