International Mxt Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler Gasket Kits

International Mxt Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler gasket kits

Starting at $100.95, AutoBuffy stocks 2 EGR cooler gasket kits from Dorman and Standard Ignition for the International Mxt. The EGR cooler gasket seals the junction between the exhaust gas recirculation cooler and the engine, preventing hot exhaust gases and coolant from mixing or escaping. A failed gasket causes coolant loss, white smoke, and can quickly lead to overheating or EGR cooler failure.

Signs your International Mxt needs a new EGR cooler gasket kit

  • White or sweet-smelling smoke from the exhaust, indicating coolant is leaking into the exhaust stream
  • Unexplained coolant loss with no visible external leak on the ground or at hoses
  • Overheating or rising coolant temperature gauge, especially under load or at highway speeds
  • Milky or foamy residue on the coolant reservoir cap or inside the degas bottle
  • Check Engine light with codes related to EGR system performance or coolant temperature (e.g., P0400, P0401, P0405)
  • Rough idle or reduced engine performance caused by exhaust gas contaminating the cooling circuit or intake

Which EGR cooler gasket kit should you buy for your International Mxt?

EGR cooler gasket kits vary in material, coverage, and whether they include only the cooler-to-engine gasket or the full set of seals for the entire EGR cooler assembly. Choosing the right kit means matching the gasket material to your engine's heat and pressure demands and confirming the kit covers every seal you'll disturb during the repair — buying a partial kit and discovering a missing gasket mid-job is a common and costly mistake.

OEM-equivalent full kit
Best for
Drivers who want a like-for-like repair and maximum confidence in fit
What you get
All gaskets and O-rings needed for the EGR cooler assembly, matched to factory material specs
Multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket kit
Best for
High-mileage engines or those with a history of overheating that may have minor surface warping
What you get
Superior sealing under extreme heat cycling; more forgiving on imperfect mating surfaces than fiber gaskets
Graphite/composite gasket kit
Best for
Budget-conscious repairs on engines in good mechanical condition
What you get
Good heat resistance and compressibility at a lower cost; suitable for stock power and normal operating temps
Cooler inlet/outlet O-ring kit only
Best for
Targeted repair when inspection confirms only the coolant port seals are leaking, not the main flange gasket
What you get
Coolant-side O-rings and seals only; less expensive but not appropriate if the primary exhaust gasket is also compromised

Replacing the EGR cooler gasket kit on a International Mxt

Advanced⏱ 2–4 hoursSocket set with extensions (metric and/or standard)Torque wrenchCoolant drain pan and catch containerGasket scraper or plastic scraper (to clean mating surfaces without gouging)Thread chaser or tap set (to clean corroded bolt threads before reinstallation)

Begin by draining the cooling system to prevent coolant spillage when disconnecting the EGR cooler lines, then carefully remove all hardware securing the cooler and its connections, labeling hoses and connectors as you go. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces of old gasket material before installing the new kit — any residue or pitting will cause an immediate repeat leak. Reassemble using proper fastener sequences and refill and bleed the cooling system completely before starting the engine.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace EGR cooler gasket kits on a International Mxt?
The gasket kit itself starts at $100.95 on AutoBuffy. Total repair cost depends on whether you DIY or use a shop. Labor at a shop typically adds $150–$400 or more depending on how deeply the EGR cooler is buried in the engine bay. Doing it yourself keeps costs close to the parts price alone.
Can I drive my International Mxt with a leaking EGR cooler gasket?
You should not. A leaking EGR cooler gasket allows coolant to escape internally or mix with exhaust gases, which rapidly depletes coolant and can cause overheating. Continued driving risks warping the cylinder head or damaging the EGR cooler itself — turning a gasket replacement into a far more expensive repair.
Do I need to replace the EGR cooler itself, or just the gasket kit on my International Mxt?
Inspect the cooler body carefully before ordering. If the cooler shows external corrosion, internal carbon buildup blocking flow, or physical cracks, replace the cooler along with the gasket kit. If the cooler body is intact and the failure is isolated to the gasket sealing surfaces, a gasket kit alone is the correct and more economical repair.
How do I know which EGR cooler gasket kit fits my International Mxt?
Use your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size to filter results. Some International Mxt applications have multiple engine options that use different EGR cooler configurations, so engine size and sometimes VIN confirmation is essential. AutoBuffy's fitment filter narrows the 2 available kits down to exact matches for your specific build.
Should I clean or flush the EGR cooler when replacing the gasket on a International Mxt?
Yes. Since the cooler is already removed or accessible during the gasket replacement, it is the ideal time to inspect it for internal carbon deposits and flush the coolant passages. Reinstalling a clogged cooler with a fresh gasket kit does not solve reduced EGR cooling efficiency and may lead to repeat overheating issues.
What happens if the wrong EGR cooler gasket kit is installed on a International Mxt?
An incorrect gasket — wrong thickness, wrong bore size, or wrong material — will not seal properly under the heat and pressure cycles of the EGR system. The result is a repeat leak, potentially within a very short time. Always confirm part fitment before installation and replace all gaskets and O-rings included in the kit, not just the ones that appear visibly damaged.
