Any tips when replacing the Thermastat, Flushing the coolant, and rearend fluid?
EGR block off plates... Removing the EGR and blocking them off would that require a tune?

Fluid brands vary depending on user.
If M6 remove the fill plug before draining the trans to insure refill.
No drain plug in the rear end. Warm the gear oil & suck it out.
Egr block will get a CEL code 32 (EGR), the only way to remove the CEL: Burn a new chip.

More than happy to get AMSOIL products for forum members at dealer wholesale pricing, about 25% below retail, via the AMSOIL Preferred Customer Program. Drop me a PM if interested.
Good luck with the fluid swaps!
