My Pony has an EGR. I thought my Ego Boost 2.3L engine was clean for the enviornment?

Good morning frank…

Well I looked at Warrantee on page 21 for my 2022 Bronco and you have to be a Philadelphia attorney to understand the difference between what is covered for 8 years vs 2 years. The EGR is cooled by antifreeze fluid and may not be considered a electronic EPA control, and only covered for 2 years. Clarification please!😁😁

warrantee attached

As someone that lived through the 6.0L Powerstroke and the mess the EGR cooler caused, Still own the truck just has a Cummins Now. I would like to think Ford learned a valuable lesson and made sure these issues were corrected since this is a motor they are putting on a lot of vehicles. if not I will just delete it or find some other work around. might be a good reason to do another repower in the future.

If you’re a car owner, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler. It’s responsible for cooling exhaust gases before reintroducing them into the engine. However, like any component, the cooler could fail, bringing other critical parts down with it. It could also involve your turbo.

Typically, the issue begins with the cooler failure. Understanding when and how to spot EGR cooler problems and how they might affect your turbo is critical for minimizing possible damage, problems, and costly repairs.

Think your horse isn’t trying to tell you something? It might not be speaking in words, but it could be sending you signals that something is wrong. In this article, we’ll discuss the EGR cooler failure symptoms so you can know what to look for if yours needs replacing.

Bad EGR Cooler Signs and Symptoms

Coolant Loss
White Smoke
Overheating Engine
Exhaust Leak
Check Engine Light

Top of the Morning to you Frank, have you had your MoJo this wonderful morning?
Has there been any word on your Bronco that a part actually works on it?

I hear the Ego Boost 2.3 is a very good engine and runs extremely well in the fog, sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s running bad or if it’s just the fog that’s emulating a bad running engine….

Have you checked your tire pressure to make sure that they are of equal pressure, I have heard some are getting their Broncos with the tire pressure off by 1 psi and that could result in tire wearing unevenly and damaging the lugs, causing slippage on wet and slippery surfaces..

Well good luck in getting the answers you need today!!!

My PSI was high AF when I got it. Almost bounced off the road. Luckily my wires burst into flames which caused me to pull over before I went into orbit.

So why do I case if my horse has an EGR. Well keeping the ego boost engine operating temperature low makes engine more efficiant ,that why it has an intercool coming from the turbo.

The cooler is routed between the turbocharger and the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Its structure contains a hollow tube or set of tubes through which the heated exhaust fumes pass. Multiple engine coolant channels flank these tubes.

Heat is conducted via the sidewalls dividing the coolant and exhaust, resulting in the delivery of cooler and cleaner exhaust gases capable of lowering the maximum combustion temperature. The car’s computers regulate the EGR cooler’s stream of exhaust gases through the EGR valve.

All the heat generated by your exhaust system is merely transmitted to your car’s cooling system. This excess heat is quickly absorbed via your radiator. But, since its cooler links your car engine’s exhaust and cooling system, problems within the cooler may result in coolant loss, engine overheat, and other engine damage.

Now let’s just say for the sake of argument, that your Bronco did blow a tire and you flew out into orbit (space) I don’t think your EGR on your Bronco would be working properly, since the issue would be the lack of oxygen.
With the lack of oxygen that would tell me that the Oxygen Sensor would send a fault code to your Bronco that the EGR in not properly functioning as it should, do you think your Bronco would have to be taken in for some additional work, maybe/perhaps a oxygen tank that is directly fired into the EGR valve to not set off the sensor?
I have always wondered this when driving my Bronco if I should ever be flung into Orbit!!!

Well then all you had to do was ask!!!
I also like the Tubes, this happens to be one of my favorite’s!!!

@ Laura
Just got off 45 min. with Ford Customer Case on EGR and its warrantee coverages either 8 years for EPA controls,cats, etc or 2 years for other non control parts. Strict reading on pages 20-24 appears to be "other" emission non control unit (singular). Supervisor calls tech and they says get State EPA law were you operate your Bronco!

Laura could you have your Ford contact please clarify is a 2.3L Ego Boost engine now made in Mexico ( see pic) with a EGR warranted for 8 years or 2 ( bb 3years)?

Ego boost DI engines have carbon issues and an EGR has had issues in diesels. The 2024 Mustang 2.3L ego boost now had throttle body and direct injection systems.Hope it will go into new 2024 Broncos!😆😆

Ego Boost engine on new 2023 Base Sas.

Engine made Mexico Tranny made in USA

Hi there! Based on your comment, it seems that you are concerned about the warranty coverage for the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system in your Ford Bronco. It's great that you took the time to speak with Ford's Customer Care team to get more information on the warranty coverage.
According to what you shared, the warranty coverage for the EGR system depends on whether it is considered an EPA control part or a non-control part. EPA control parts such as catalytic converters are covered for up to 8 years, while non-control parts may only be covered for up to 2 years. However, there seems to be some confusion around whether the EGR system is considered a control or non-control part.
In terms of the EGR system causing issues, you are correct that carbon buildup can be a problem with Direct Injection (DI) engines like the 2.3L EcoBoost. Having a functioning EGR system can help reduce carbon buildup and improve overall engine performance.
As for the specific warranty coverage for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine in the 2024 Mustang and Bronco, I'm afraid I don't have that information off the top of my head. It's best to reach out to your Ford contact for clarification or consult the warranty documentation for your specific vehicle.
I hope this helps clarify some of your concerns. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with!

Poor Laura...

Ego Boost here is what Ford says in clip.

But what did they not tell us on EGR and oil separators and now DI/PI.

The 2.7L has a graphite iron type engine block, better for heat. Aluminum, like old Chevy Vega 1-4 never worked well due to heat and turbo create heat.

Hope my Ego Boost last to 100,000 miles before carbon cleaning. Recall to DI/PI engine management system and new heads would cost thousands. New 2024 Mustang Di/PI should help with carbon issue.

What is wrong with Ford's DI. Here is what!
