EGR Valve

[Trouble maker]

Check engine light came on today when I started the truck. Cleared the EGR code with my spartan tune just to see if it was a fluke. Drove about 3 miles and gave it a bit of gas to make a light and it had no power. Turned around filled the tank up. When I started the truck for the second time EGR was back up. I've got a few questions.

Will 5 miles of easy driving mess with anything else?
Should I replace the EGR valve myself for $200 in parts?
Or should I buy a delete, exhaust (was going to order this weekend anyway) and then run a higher HP tune?

If you don't have to worry about emissions testing and have the time then I would just delete the egr. I am assuming you meant you are planning on doing the dpf delete anyways?

Yes I was going to order an exhaust this weekend anyway. What is a good kit to order for a EGR kit? Emission testing is required here but its just a visual. And I know a shop owner real well so the visual is what his eyes see.

All the kits do the same job so it's just a matter of what appeals to you, whether a chrome elbow or a blue elbow like the sinister one for examples. I would get one that includes the elbow to replace the stock elbow no matter which kit you went with.

Just ordered the sinister today hopefully it will be in by friday
