You can use a diesel EGR cooler for multiple things. They are big, made of stainless steel and as long as you don't get one from a ford 6.0L it will last a really long time.
You can use them for their intended purpose, to cool EGR. Not a bad idea.
I say rout some of the actual waste exhaust through the diesel EGR cooler, in effect turning the "diesel EGR cooler" into a exhaust waste heat recovery heat exchanger, for faster warms up and so you can run the heat full blast as much as you want even in MN with out losing engine temperature.
You put the EGR cooler in your exhaust stream and then plumb it into your heater core circuit, instant heat or faster warm ups and to some degree both.
