I re[laced egr cooler and egr cooler fan along with thermostat and several other small things. it is still leaking water and overheating any suggeations?

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

they didnt make a 7.3L in 2004.. do you mean 6.0L?

[stroken04]

where is it leaking from?

[RoosterBobacher@yahoo.com]

its not leaking now it is still overheating. the fan comes on it builds up pressure and makes a whinning sound and the fan doesnt come back on and then it overheats

[stroken04]

sooo do you have a 6.0 or a 7.3?

[strokepower]

i wish they had made a 2004 7.3... lol but they didn't...

Sounds like Head Gaskets to me. Exhaust pressure building up in the coolant system.

No 7.3 in 04

Check ECT/EOT spread. No more than 15*

If you changed the EGR cooler you should have changed the oil cooler.

Tee in a gauge on the cooling system, make sure it's full of antifreeze and take it out and pound the hell out of it. See what the gauge goes to.

Does it overheat idling or just when you're beating on it.

Pull the shield off the top of the rad support between the rad support and the grille and wash all the dirt and **** out from between the radiator and AC condenser.

Must be a rare special edition 7.3
