One of our newer B30E's (BAT7333 SN:8785) has developed an EGR cooler leak. I am being told this is a nonserviceable part. I called around to a few of the google hits on searching for "EGR cooler repair" and everyone I've spoken to have said "no can do".

The engine is an OM936LA. I don't know what the cross over is for a Detroit but I have to believe there are aftermarket parts or Detroit parts I can buy that are not OEM with associated price.... Any help or direction on where to go next is appreciated. It may be just open the old wallet, grin and bear it.

Doesn't a Bell truck use a Mercedes engine?
Yes. Detroit's DD8 is the same engine in these trucks. This is helpful for allowing me to go outside the dealer for parts. Thats the route I've ended up going down.
