EGR Help Needed Raleigh-ish

5keepers · #1 (**permalink**) 04-04-2012, 11:40 AM

My truck kicked up an EGR code a few times last weekend. EGT's went up a little and fuel mileage plummeted. My coolant is flushed and spotless. My ECT's and EOT's look perfect. Delta runs 8-10 and doesn't really change much even towing. Question is, should I delete the EGR or clean/replace it?

Delete it, then you don't have to worry about the dang thing ever again! Easy to do and look into your oil cooler as well it's right there at the back of the block under the manifold easy to do wheat the doing the delete kit!

That's the plan right now. Might go look at an Ecoboost this weekend. If I don't trade, the EGR crap will be gone soon. Anybody up for helping?

I'd definently be up for helping, considering I just did mine, except I'm not gonna be in NC until July
