Looking for some help trying to find out what you call this hose so I can order one online or at one of my local parts stores. Ford thinks they know but they are not sure as they don't have one in stock to confirm and their diagrams seem hard to read and so they aren't sure they are looking at the right one. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

I think it is a EGR pressure hose that tells the pressure and when to let the gasses back into the emissions for better fuel mileage and tell the EGR the pressure on the coolant side. Its called a EGR pressure feedback hose i believe and you can get it from auto zone.

I could be wrong cause i don't drive a 6.4L i drive a 7.3L but I'm going to school for diesel mechanic so i could be wrong but look it up under EGR pressure feedback hose.

The hose in question is the EGR valve inlet hose that goes from the top of the horizontal EGR cooler to the EGR valve is called "EGR Coolant Inlet Hose."

"TECHNICALLY" you can eliminate it as the coolant passages in the EGR Valve in later production engines and replacement valves were deleted. To do so, remove and discard the inlet hose then disconnect the outlet hose and reconnect it to the top of the Horizontal EGR Cooler where the other hose was removed from. Yes, you will have to trim it.

Or you can replace it if that makes you feel warm and fuzzy provided it is not obsolete.

I have the same thing, it was done by a dealer. What’s the benefit of having this done?

I do not know why the coolant passages were eliminated so you could first assume it had to do with cost and second, it's presence and function (whatever that is) is negligible. I do not think there is any "benefit" to disconnecting it unless it is leaking which I personally have not heard of. The disconnected coolant hose still needs to be connected to the vertical EGR cooler as it removes air from the coolers which is vital. It's part of the "degas" function of the cooling system.

Question, The "outlet" hose you are referring to is the hose the returns from EGR valve to coolant reservoir correct?
