RLD_999, Howdy;

I have a 2004 (an early one), so it is much like yours. Good news is the
EGR cooler is the better of the ones produced for the 6.0.
Did you get it in private sale or through a dealer? The engine has some
design problems but I wouldn't consider it a throw-away.
I went to BulletProof Engineering and had them do a level III up grade.
Don't know where you are located but they have authorized installers
all over the country.
Luckily I'd paid off the truck and was able to get a loan to pay for it.
I bought the truck used in 2009 and what I paid for it was less than the
book value of it this past April.
