i just diaged my first leaking egr cooler or i least hope its the cooler. i found moisture in the egr valve bore. also the hose running from the intake to the degas bottle was causing alot of bubbles in the degas bottle. i tried a block checker on it and after a while it turned clear. it seemed to take more time to get it to change than a 3.8l does...go figure! i also have some pics of a cab i took off and i must admit its easier on the back.

what else did you replace with the oil cooler. i got one on order right now on a 04 f550. i order the cooler and hoses and of course the cascade.i thought i'd try some moc coolant flush stuff too!

The one i had i couldnt tell what was clogging it but if i remember right hotline had said metal debris was an issue in production though the one i did do had about 27000 miles before it clogged up.

this may not help with the no start now but the original problem if not electrical almost sounds like a standpipe issue...actually 2 standpipes. the stand pipes plug and will cause lack of high pressure oil at the injectors. the one i had had an erratic icp reading and i think it may have set some misfire codes. hope it helps...
