new24stroke · 11-05-2009, 07:47 PM

How many of you guys have done the EGR delete on the Ford 6.0L.I,m thinking about getting it done.I already have ARP studs.They want 2000 grand here in Hinton to do it.Does anyone think it is worth it.

try and unplug the electrical connector for the egr and then drive it and see if it feels any different...... Sometimes the cel will come on, other trucks not........

works to a point but does not lower egt up to 300 deg or stop cooler from leaking either these are the biggest reasons people do them just so you know run a diesel shop in gp called nrthern performance & auto repair ltd ex ford tech is where i am from for those interested

Don't forget about the possibitle that your CEL light may come on with a delete kit and you'll have to buy an SCT With a custom tune to get rid of it.

Drford you say 6.5 hrs to install aftermarket head studs and put new head gasket. Where are you located. Do you do a cab off or not. Thanks

What does unplugging the egr valve do? What do you unplug?? I have an 06 is there a certain year that the egr is of less concern?

JohnBoyTurbo · 11-11-2009, 10:46 PM

I own an 04 6.0L. I have had one EGR valve go and I have never heard of guys unplugging it. I have had the truck for a year and a half. The truck is stock as they come. I want some more insite.

new24stroke · 11-11-2009, 11:23 PM

mach123 that is to do a egr cooler delete.It takes about 16 hours or more to do studs and gaskets

no, that would be more like 20 to 24 hours to replace the head bolts with studs.......

try it, you'll like it...... Egr concerns all 6.0l engines.....ford diesel website has many threads on this..... Usually if your egr starts leaking, it could be a result of cylinder head gaskets leaking engine combustion gases and "superheated" coolant into the system and the solder on the egr cooler disintigrates and starts leaking too....

unplugging the egr prevents exhaust from actually going through the egr, and as a result will help prevent the egr cooler from deteriorating...... Can result in more power/gas mileage as a result
......may cause the cel to come on, in a very few trucks
