i have been tossing around the idea of deleteing my EGR system ever since i bought my 6.4. also i noticed reciently that my coolant level drops occasionally, with a brand new radiatior, so i am assuming that it might be the egr cooler that is leaking?? is this a good enough excuse to delete the cooler all together? how hard of an install is it? im truck savvy but i am no diesel mechanic by any means.. any advice would be great!
is this a decient kit for the price? any suggestions of kits??
I did it to mine and couldn't be happier. I was not losing any coolant but did it for reliability. Took me about 4-5 hours, not a hard job but it will test your patience.
Take a look at Dirty Diesel's kit, it comes with a new CFM elbow and seems to be a high quality kit. Nothing wrong with the kit on ebay, just doesn't come with the elbow.
Is the eye cooler leaking? OR r u PUCKING coolant due to tune n getting on the skinny pedal? Look around coolant resavor is there white spots everywhere around it? Just it having a egr means u gotta delete it lol do that with a cfm elbow no need for a wastegate unless u got turbos nos other wise just delete plates r good
Yep, got the elbow. Cruise control works just fine. I've seen numerous posts where other's work as well. Most of the people who say it won't work don't even own a 6.4.
Zzz's I've read where u gotta leave sm butterfly under hood somewhere inorder for it to wrk with elbow!! Not true? Just delete n waalaa it still works?
I put the elbow in, taped the electrical connections up and not a problem yet. Been this way for a while, drove 400 miles round trip yesterday and the cruise was on 95% of the time.
I can't answer your question 100% about the butterfly but I didn't do anything special.
Is the EGR considered part of the required emissions system. I asked since this is a no return project and could it affect your ability to sell the truck our pass an emissions test?
well my exhaust is already straight pipe which means i lost emissions passibility a long time ago. so why not this too?
to answer a question from a while ago, it is not puking coolant, just loosing about a 1/4 inch in the resivior every couple months, no big deal, just looking for an excuse to use my tools i guess..
