EGR BLOCK OFF HELP/QUESTIONS

[GPATTERSON319]

I HAVE AN 05 SCT TUNED F250. I AM PLANNING TO BLOCK OFF MY EGR. DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK TO SHOW COMPLETE PROCESS ON THIS PROCEDURE? CAN I JUST CUT OUT THE SCOOP AND WELD UP THE PIPE? DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING MORE WITH THE EGR COOLER? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Do a search theres lots of right ups. Yes with your 05 you gotta nock out the scoop in the uppipe, and block it off. Then you must reroute the coolant from intake to the oil cooler, by eliminating the egr cooler.

Heres one for an 03, its the same idea, or you can buy a kit from first coast diesel or liberator, or whoever else is out there. Complete EGR removal write up

EGR Up Pipe Delete Homemade


Parts needed:
Freeze Plug Dorman Part# 555-077 I got mine at O’Reilly for $0.69
Up Pipe Gasket Ford Part# 3C3Z-6N640-AA
A Piece of 1 3/4" Pipe
A Piece of 1/8”x3”x2 3/4" Flat steel
WD or your favorite lube

Tools Needed:
Welder
Grinder
Hammer
3/8” 13mm deep socket
1/4” 11mm deep socket
1/4 ” 10mm short socket
2x 3” 1/4" extensions
2x 10” 3/8” extensions
5/16” Nut Driver
5.5mm Nut Driver
Flathead Screwdriver
3/8” ratchet
1/4" ratchet


1)First take the passenger inner fender out.


2)Then spray your lube (haha he said lube) on the bottom and top nuts and bolts.


3)Loosen the Vclamp on the turbo down pipe. Take the down pipe and remove it. If you have the stock down pipe like I do then you need to take the transmission cross member out. The easiest way I found was to loosen the two nuts to the tranny mount and use a jack and some blocks of wood to jack up on the tranny pan about an inch and put a jackstand under the tranny. That way when you take the crossmember out all the weight is off of it.


4)Next take the two bottom nuts on the up pipe and loosen. The nuts are 13mm and the bolts are 10mm.


5)Loosen the Vband clamp that holds the EGR cooler to the exhaust.


6)Loosen the nuts on top of the up pipe.


7)You will be able to take the up pipe out from the bottom by bending the tab that holds the inner fender out a little.


8)Weld the freeze plug in the EGR flange. make sure that you have the part number facing out. There is a small lip on the EGR cooler itself. If you get to much weld on it and it doesn't seal all the way it's ok, you can use a die grinder to grind the inner part to fit it

I know this is an old post but:

Boggsie Thanks for the write up. I'm new to the EGR stuff. Does this throw a code when you do it? Is that something that you can override with a programmer?
