My truck just went in the garage for it's 3rd egr valve in 25,000 miles. The first one went at about 107,000 - the 2nd at about 127,000 so the 12,000 mile warranty was no good.

This time we think we found the problem. The tech and the mechanic and I were talking about the problem because I pull RV's with my F-350 and can't afford this. I had codes 0401 & 0403 both times. I told the mechanic I thought it was the cooler. He said there wasn't a code - if I was only using coolant he could make the change. I told him I just put in 2 gallons this week and two gallons three weeks ago. He said "That's it - let's make the change."

I have an extended warranty to 200,000 so I'm covered, and they are doing the oil cooler too. Over $3,000 in work - $100 to me.

Hope this helps someone.

John
