Gaskets failed, in the shop

[stroked2005]

Ford is replacing both coolers, gaskets and putting in studs. I'm pretty sure there is a warranty that covers the work for a year, haven't talked to them yet about it. Should I run Ford's coolant and all that or move forward with additional bullet proofing? I'm leaning towards keeping everything OEM so if it does fail its covered. But, I really don't want to go through this again. I would immediately flush out the ford gold, install a coolant filter and throw an egr delete on. Thoughts?

Umm, you may want to find out if they are covering it! If not your going to have a $5,000 bill headed your way!

It's a $6800 dollar bill all for me. I'm just talking about the warranty that is issued on the work they are doing now.

If you delete your egr you might get a check engine light and then you will need a couple tuner to fix it. See if they would install a bulletproof cooler if you supplied the part.

For 150 bucks, you can get rid of that check engine light.
Check out power hungry performance, ECM programming. They rewrite the ECM/TCM programming to exclude egr function, "rollback" the stock programming and can install a tune on the ECM/TCM that is head bolt safe.

Cheaper than buying a tuner and having custom tunes written

I'm already running Vivian's looney, I should be able to turn it off with my sct. I was being a smart *** in my sig. Thanks though...I only enjoyed my looney for 7 days...

If you have to pay to have it all fixed, why not do it the right way and have studs, egr deleted, and new oil cooler installed after a flush?

That's what I would do.

And insist on having the heads milled
