    It has a new egr valve and the cooler from what I understand if they are bad your coolant keeps disappearing....

    I disconnected the egr valve but haven got to drive or pull a load yet...

    Yes you could lose coolant as I did you mentioned you added coolant . There was a guy on YouTube who was a a engine shop they replaced the egr didn't fix truck they put all kinds of crap on it and over a week later they decided to replace the egr again and guess what the new egr was bad so let's hope your truck is fixed with it disconnected . If not you may want to have it dyno to see what you are lossing . The nice thing wit that is I now have my pumpkin set at 515 it's no slow pumpkin now and it's fun because some drivers like to try to ## wit me till I blow there doors off lol
