COOLING SYSTEM
Cooling System Upgrades for Your 2008-2010 Ford 6.4L Power Stroke
The 6.4L Power Stroke has a well-known reputation for cooling system stress, particularly around the factory EGR cooler and oil cooler. Both components sit in a tight, heat-heavy area of the engine and are common failure points that can lead to coolant contamination, overheating, and expensive repairs if left unaddressed. Big Dawg Diesel carries a lineup of cooling system parts built specifically for 2008-2010 6.4L Power Stroke trucks. If you have an issue with your cooling system, we can help you fix it.
Unlike some other diesel platforms, the 6.4L Power Stroke routes exhaust gas through a cooler that sits close to the coolant system, and when that cooler cracks internally, coolant and exhaust gas can mix, leading to a chain reaction of overheating, oil contamination, and reduced engine life. Upgrading to a stronger EGR cooler design, keeping the coolant clean with proper filtration, and replacing a worn oil cooler are three of the most effective ways to protect this engine from its known weak points.
If you're dealing with cooling issues on a 2008-2010 Ford 6.4L Power Stroke, we have the parts that tend to matter most. There's a heavy-duty EGR cooler kit with a horizontal tube design, which is a solid upgrade since the factory EGR cooler is one of this engine's most common failure points. You'll also find an upgraded oil cooler with a gasket kit to help keep oil temps in check. And if you're looking to remove the EGR system altogether, there's an EGR delete kit available, along with an S&B dry filter cold air intake for a bit of extra airflow.
