Does anyone who has done an egr delete ever plan on selling their truck? If you sell it that way without telling the purchaser, you are liable for any consequences down the road no matter who owns it because you are the one who purposely violated federal law. You have to put the egr system back in to sell it. Food for thought.

 

I sure wish that I had joined this site before I paid a shop $1500 to do a EGR delete on my truck! I sure had no idea that it was illegal....so what now?

 

Whatever you do, don't mention you have an EGR delete on the internet.....the EPA's EGR delete swat team would be knocking on your door.

Wait......too late.

 

So what? I deleted mine and didn't bat an eye. I sure as heck won't when I sell the truck.

Sent from my mind thanks to the Internet and an app.

 

My buddy recently had one of these Egr Delete Kit and he says he absolutely loves it. As for price shopping you may be able to find another as i saw on another post that sinister diesel makes a decent one as well. Best of luck in looking for a good one i know there are alot of shops selling them these days so it shouldn't be to hard to find one you like.

 

If you know the principles of heat and combustion the more pure air you have ,the more oxygen u have and oxygen promotes heat heat is energy. when u put an already burnt fuel back in to the engine it robs the volume of oxygen with the volume of an imcomplete molecule. The theory is to make sure youve burnt everything you can out of it but its like eating your **** in hopes of absorbing a small bit of nutrients that u didnt prossess. I dont put **** into my body so Y put it in your engine

 

It's a little more complicated than that. It's not about attempting to reburn anything. Exhaust gasses do displace good, power making air/fuel mixture but the purpose is to reduce the combustion temperature. Higher temps make more NOx, a favorite target of the EPA. In a gasoline engine, EGR allows more mechanical compression and earlier ignition timing with the crappy fuels (low octane) we have today. In a diesel, being compression ignition in the first place, the only benefit is reduced NOx and it doesn't do even that very well. The negative effects are many including reduced power, sooted up intake and sensors and faster wear being just a few.

I doubt NOx would go down by doing an EGR delete unless something was wrong with the truck in the first place, but I do believe the EGR system works so poorly on our trucks that it could be deleted and the truck still test below the maximum limits for NOx.

I think the IPR delete kit is the best available. You do need an intake manifold that's in great shape where the coolant passage meets the adapter though.

Not to disagree with a previous post, but, but, but .....

an EGR delete could actually add value to your truck when trading. I know it would for me.
