Recipe - Ford 3.2L Power Stroke Diesel (Transit 2015-2019)

Specific Fix build

Reliability tier: aggregated - verify before ordering, see /disclosure/

EGR cooler replacement on the 3.2 Power Stroke: the signature failure (overheating/coolant loss). Three Ford field actions cover the run - 18M06/19B03 (MY2015-2017) and 21M03 (MY2017-2019). Check VIN coverage before paying.

Parts

• 3.2L Power Stroke EGR Cooler (CK4Z-9U433-D, current) - the current cooler assembly (CK4Z-9U433-D) (qty 1)

Install order

1. confirm the pattern: overheating / coolant loss without an external leak
2. check VIN coverage against 18M06 / 19B03 / 21M03 field actions
3. EGR cooler replacement with new gaskets; pressure-test afterwards
4. inspect the oil cooler while the bay is open (shared thermal load)

Expected outcome

Overheating and internal coolant loss resolved.
