Upgrading the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cooler in a Ford 6.0L Powerstroke diesel engine can provide several benefits. There's no need to remove your cooler or delete it.  An upgraded cooler will keep your emissions intact, you won't lose any mileage, or power.  With the technology and tuning available today, you can make as much power with the factory emissions in your 6.0L Powerstroke as removing it.  You'll also have the benefit of a worry free inspection or sale later.

Here are some reasons why people choose to upgrade their EGR cooler: 

Reliability: The stock EGR cooler on the Ford 6.0L Powerstroke has been known to

have reliability issues. It can develop leaks or become clogged with carbon deposits

over time. Upgrading to a more robust and durable aftermarket EGR cooler can help

improve the overall reliability of the cooling system. 

Performance: The stock EGR cooler can restrict the flow of exhaust gases, which may

result in reduced engine performance and efficiency. By upgrading to an aftermarket

EGR cooler, you can potentially improve the flow of exhaust gases, leading to better

performance and fuel economy. 

Preventive Maintenance: Upgrading the EGR cooler is often considered a preventive

measure to avoid potential problems in the future. By installing a higher-quality

aftermarket EGR cooler, you can address known weaknesses of the stock cooler and

reduce the likelihood of costly repairs or breakdowns. 

Reduced EGR System Failure: In the 6.0L Powerstroke engine, a failing EGR cooler

can lead to coolant leaks and, in some cases, coolant entering the intake system. This

can cause engine damage and decrease the reliability of the vehicle. Upgrading the

EGR cooler can mitigate these risks and help prevent catastrophic failures. It's

important to note that when upgrading the EGR cooler, it's often recommended to

consider a complete EGR system upgrade, which may include other components such

as the EGR valve, EGR delete kits, or EGR bypass systems. These upgrades can work

together to optimize the performance, reliability, and longevity of the engine.
