Question about DTC codes

[04PSDF350]

Last fall my EGR cooler failed so I had it deleted and replaced the oil cooler as well. I bought a CTS a few weeks ago and I have persistent DTC codes P0403, P0404 and P1000. Ive read not to worry about the P1000 and I know the P0403 and 0404 are EGR related so are they there because of the EGR delete?

I had one other code for under boost, P0299, last week but after reading here the likely cause was sticky vanes I started driving the dog pi$$ out of it. After a few LONG DEEP rolls into the trottle, she actually seems a bit more responsive and not so laggy at highway speeds. The most boost I have seen in my WOT runs has been 28 psi and I also monitor the VGT duty cycle and it moves from 15% to 85%, 15% getting into it and usually anywhere from 50% to 85% while at highway speeds. There doesnt seem to be much rhyme or reason to the VGT when cruising . Anyway I cleared the P0299 code and its gone for now. If it comes back Ill guess Ill start thinking about having the turbo cleaned. In the mean time I plan on following so many of ya'lls advice...drive it like I stole it.

Sent from my phone that somebody didn't help me get.

You dont have to beat on your truck, just open her up once, twice or anytime you pull next to a cummins a week

Your EGR codes will continue until you get a programer like SCT to turn it off. The PCM is seeing readings that make no sense to it.
