    FYI EGR exhaust pressure can be 60psi at full load , which is significantly higher than the cooling system.

    The pressurization of the cooling system from an EGR crack will depend on the load....
    It goes the other way too when the exhaust pressure drops lower than coolant and it's forced into the exhaust system

    @kimone how many miles? Has the air compressor ever been replaced? A blown head gasket on the compressor will pressurize the cooling system. Also bad injector cups will do the same.

    The d13 has been problematic from day 1.
    The injectior cups are a known problem...

    Basically only 3 things will put that kind of high pressure like that.
    #1 investor cups...
    Shop can test this by checking if exhaust gas is in the tank, is the coolest gray or black..?
    #2 air compresser head gasket.... watch to see if your getting more than normal water when you drain your tanks.
    #3 head/gasket
