Engineered specifically for late 2004.5 through 2007 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty and Excursion trucks equipped with the 6.0L Powerstroke diesel engine (square cooler configuration), the Pacific Performance Engineering (PPE) Heavy-Duty Replacement EGR Cooler (316129504) addresses the inherent weak points of factory equipment. Stock factory coolers rely on restrictive internal finned cores that easily trap carbon soot, restrict coolant flow, and crack under extreme thermal expansion—leading directly to coolant loss, white smoke, and head gasket failure.

PPE replaces the problematic factory honeycomb matrix with twelve high-flow internal tubes manufactured from durable 316 stainless steel encased in a heavy-duty 304 stainless steel housing. This multi-tube layout promotes superior coolant and exhaust gas circulation, significantly lowering exhaust gas temperatures while virtually eliminating thermal cracking and clogging. Fully CARB-approved for street use across all 50 states, this direct-fit replacement provides exceptional long-term reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

• 12-Tube Stainless Steel Core: Replaces fragile factory honeycomb interiors with twelve high-flow 316 stainless steel tubes to maximize thermal transfer and flow.
• Heavy-Duty 304/316 Construction: Premium stainless steel shell resists high exhaust temperatures, thermal shock, and corrosion.
• 50-State CARB Emissions Legal: Features Executive Order (E.O. D-701-7) compliance for street-legal operation nationwide.
• Reduces Clogging & Thermal Cracking: Improved internal passageways prevent soot buildup and withstand extreme engine duty cycles without splitting.
• Direct Bolt-In Replacement: Engineered to match factory mounting points and dimensions precisely for a straightforward installation.

Vehicle Fitment & Installation Notes

• Late 2004–2007 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 Super Duty – 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel (Built after 9/29/2003 with Square Cooler)
