Coolant leak

[Rick Winter]

Can i drive my 2015 eco Diesel if my EGR valve is leaking cooling as long as i keep it topped up?

How much coolant are you losing?
I wouldn't since you will be sucking coolant into the intake. It will also pass through the Diesel Particulate Filter and can cause damage.

Do you know of anyone installing a EGR removal kit?

Several owners have. You will need a tune along with the delete. Considering an EGR cooler replacement is typically over 3 grand, the tune & delete kit is a bargain. If you are under the factory warranty or had the AEM with the extended warranty you could just get it replaced.

There is no sign of coolant in the oil.

There is no sign of coolant in the oil.

It typically is just getting sucked in through the intake and out the exhaust. People sometimes mention it will go into the oil, but not likely unless it somehow passed through the piston rings.

Get a oil test that is the only way to tell unless u r deleted then the oil doesn't get BLACK

I have done the delete using sasquatch egr delete easy to took about 30 minutes you will need a tune and remove the particulate filter I also got rid of the cadillac converter I used the GDE offroad ( hot ) tune. This stopped my leak and now have a better truck for it.
