Just lost a whole afternoon and $80 on a 'universal' EGR cooler gasket that didn't fit my 6.7 Powerstroke.

That whole "universal fit" thing is such a trap. Reminds me of the time I bought a "one size fits all" radiator hose for my old Chevy. Spent an hour fighting with it, covered in coolant, only to find it was about two inches too short. Had to drive to three different stores with the old hose in my hand like some kind of sad trophy.

What is it with parts stores selling "universal" parts that only fit the box they came in? That's the kind of afternoon that makes you want to use the gasket to seal the store's front door shut forever. I swear they just slap that word on anything to clear out old inventory. Nothing wastes time and money faster than a part that's supposed to fit everything but actually fits nothing. You'd have better luck making your own gasket out of cardboard and hope.
