Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system directs cooled exhaust gasses back into the engine, ensuring that it’s safe for combustion. The EGR cooler on Ford’s 6.0 Powerstroke V-8 engine is located on the front of the intake manifold.

EGR coolers commonly fail because of a clogged oil cooler that is keeping any coolant from passing through the unit. The square-shaped Powerstroke 6.0 EGR cooler is known to clog due to its small exhaust inlet and outlet. White exhaust smoke, coolant in the intake manifold, and coolant loss from the degas bottle are symptoms of a bad EGR cooler.
