EGR Block off

[ken98svt]

i just got my 06' 6.0 and am really looking to block off the egr before i get soot build up because i heard that can get bad quick i was just wondering what would be the best thing to do just to maintain it or block it off, if so whats the cheapest way to do so. thank you.

i bought a new up pipe that did not have the scoop and came with a plate to block it off. if i were to do it again i would probably just take the old up pipe and take the scoop out of it and weld a plate in it. thats just my opinion...

It all depends if you wanna keep a stock apearance for warranty issues??

cheapest if you have a welder is to weld freeze plugs in each end of the EGR cooler, and with the up pipe put it in a vise and with a steel horse shoe stake or pipe, mash the scoop flat inside the up pipe. Then reassemble and it all loooks like its there and cost you about $1.75 for the plugs and maybe $20 in new gaskets the EGR cooler connections, obviously more if you decide to use new intake manifold gaskets.
