i have an 03 and my egr cooler isn't leaking but i want to block my egr flow so i was looking at getting just elite diesels egr blocker plate it's cheap and it looks like a pretty strait forward install. i was wondering how it performs and how hard is it to install going to do my injector this weekend figured i would do this also.
hmm I just joined this site today and i'd love to hear answers for that question to. I was also wondering if u put that plate in and leave all the egr stuff and cooler in place if the computer would figure out that the egr has no exhuast going though the valve when it open mainly i'm woundering if it would through a code if we used that little block off plate on our trucks I cleaned my egr for the first time this past weekend along with the intake air temp sensor while doing my oil change. I could not believe the amount of soot in my intake on the egr and temp sensor. I hope some one while answer this post.
oke: anyone???
go for it but i pluged my egr im going to fully delete the whole thing soon. you said you were doing injectors what size 175 to 190cc are best on the street unless you plan on racing or sled pull. o and custom tuning will clear the check engine light from the egr being bolcked
yeah it must be nice to live in your state if you can get away with that paintrain . I have to have the system there so it will pass inspection. so if I put the blocker plate in but leave everything else on the computer would figure out some how that the pipe is blocked even though the valve is opening and closeing when the computer tells it to??
well my truck already has innovative tunes in it, i'm not going to put aftermarket injectors just a factory injector, after the injector replacement i'm going to have it tuned by the nutty professor.
i had the plate on my old 6.0. They work well. Make sure you delete the valve as well. You can buy a dummy valve off of ebay for like 80 bucks. You will have to leave the actual egr valve plugged in tho to prevent codes. The install is a pain. You have to pull the turbo and move your downpipe. An egr delete is a better way to go tho.
i just blocked my egr cooler off with a plug i welded in. my truck didn't throw any codes. i left the egr valve in and plugged in. truck runs alot better.
from what I understand the early 03-04 and even some early 05 trucks will not set a CEL for EGR deletes or blocks. 05 trucks with blue motor tags don't set a CEL. I can unplug my valve and not see a CEL, now I can't confirm if it will set some sort of a soft code though.
my truck has to go through annual inspections in my state so it all has to "be there" for the visual check.
Innovative, elite.... just about anywhere that tunes 6.0s. Most of them use the sct x3 for tuning. They can build you a file and email it so then you can throw it on the tuner.
alrite thanks man... if it dont work ill have an excuse to buy a tuner then!!
