mchan68 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Anyone notice this part now has a core charge? Isn't that interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm sort of parts illiterate and so Is my parts department........what would this part be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 EGR valve housing for a 6.4L. And yes I have noticed the core charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 For the scrap aluminum? Ford's betting that 30% of them never make it back for the core refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well, the only reason for them to be replaced is because they broke or the EGR valve is seized in them so they are not really worth anything monetarily... unless they want to see why... which is BS after all this time. Perhaps they want to stop techs from just throwing one at trucks "just because" as warranty control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they want to stop techs from just throwing one at trucks "just because" as warranty control. But thay have always been a manditory parts return under warranty, so that makes no sense either. Plus when was the last time you replaced an EGR valve under warranty, been at least a year for me. I think it is to stop others from cashing in on the scrap metal aspect. Unless Ford is getting into the recycling business as some kind of write off incentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Likely the same reason there is a core charge on aluminum wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsona19 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Any ideas why there are core charges on bumper covers and tail lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmantech Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Aftermarket is buying them "reconditioning" them and reselling. Ford does not like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Some of the head lights or tail lights have some HID shit or circuitry in them that's bad for the environment and they want it to not go to landfill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Aftermarket is buying them "reconditioning" them and reselling. Ford does not like that. I have thought that is the reason behind the EGR cooler core charges as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anyone wanna buy some EGR cooler cores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I believe the 6.0 EGR cooler core is to keep them from the aftermarket. There are more than a few companies cutting open coolers and re-gutting them. Same with the valves, aftermarket is remanufacturing them.

Aaron Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Bulletproof pays $15 a core. Core charge is $70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsona19 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wish i would have known, i took in 26 coolers last year and got about $4 each in scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I sent 20+ scrap coolers to Bulletproof last year and in lieu of payment I opted to get one free 6.0 square cooler to keep here at the shop. I'll tell you one thing, when you've got a customer who's sick of replacing oem EGR coolers it's pretty easy to sell a bulletproof. When I sell one I use the money to reorder a new one.

DieselD Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I dropped off a ton of them to bulletproof before they started having a core charge. Made a nice little stack of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
