Hello everybody, my name is Dylan. I got my truck about 2 months ago.
I've been soaking up the wealth of information here and decided to tackle my leaking egr cooler myself. I'll be replacing the oil cooler and adding head studs as well.
Before this truck, I'd never driven a diesel, much less tried to wrench on one. I swapped a motor in my 93 Grand Cherokee, but this is a bit different.
Point I'm trying to make is, if I can do this, anybody with the right tools and information can also do it.
Luckily we had decent weather the first day I spent on this thing. Had to work all day in this crap yesterday.
I've got the easy half done. Heads are off and disassembled now. Ready to go to the machine shop in the morning.
So far, I've got about 20 hours into tearing it down, working by myself. Probably much more than that in reading and ordering parts though hehe.
I'm smart enough to know the next half will be a bit more challenging. Thanks to everyone else who's done this already and shared the info to help people like me do it, I think it'll be fine.
I really appreciate all the help I've gotten here
