What is your EOT and ECT? you probably have a bad oil cooler which has caused your EGR cooler to over heat and fail also.

Hi
Not sure what the EOT and ECT ,but I know that the oil cooler was not changed when the egr cooler was changed. I know that Ford didn't change both in the beginning but now they do for tht same problem
Your probably correct in saying that it could be the oil cooler. I will bring it back to ford,to see if they can somehow still warrenty it if it is in fact the oil cooler.
