The main issue with my truck was just egr seizing up on me no other issues what so ever. I've never had one last me more than a day. I'd always used to do min 8hr trips at a time and it would usually go on me the first day i had it in before my trip was done.
it appears that there are hundreds of people with 6.0s that are misunderstood on egr deletion

Are you aware, at the bare minimum, that the EGR acts as a boost failsafe for when the turbo sticks?
I am not going to get into the complexities of the EGR/Boost strategies tonight, it's late, but I will put something together for you guys to read.
I will be the first guy to admit the 04-up EGR cooler SUCKS..but I would definately not delete the EGR system on a 6.0

A friend of mine owns a 2006 Power Stroke in his tow truck. He was telling me about how his EGR cooler went bad... AGAIN. He said that he has had it replaced 3 times since he bought the truck brand new. I told him about this thread and the "egr cooler upgrade kit". He found it on eBay and bought one...saying that he was tired of replacing this thing and that he needed his truck to stay in business.
I went by this weekend and watched as he removed and replaced the unit.
Pictures here:
Picasa Web Albums - Gene-iuos! - Cooler Instal...
He inspected the item from eBay before installing it. He said that Ford wanted like $450 plus $115 for gaskets for a new EGR cooler, and this one was actually going to save him $100 and it was a lot stronger. He also liked that the new one has the exact same fit and function as the original cooler, so installation was easy.
I will update the forum as his mileage goes and any history or emissions problems.

It's in the PCM strategy. I will get you the documentation when I find it. I just moved 4000 miles and can't find a damn thing.
It was pretty hammered into us at the powerstroke training. The EGR will open during certain conditions to alleviate a condition that the PCM reads as 'over boost', causing a drop in available exhaust pressure and heat to drive the turbo, but offhand - i can't remember what they are.
