Mine is on right now and that's the code I have (it's an 06). You can't notice any difference in drive-ability, and it actually has a little more "umph" to it down low. You will have to get a tuner in order to turn the EGR valve off through the PCM in order to get rid of the CEL. But, I would still leave it plugged in for fan operation.

Nope!

Just got done doing the EGR delete and a few other things last week. Gotta save up money for a tuner to get it turned off one of these days.

I'm pretty sure you can still get it inspected here...when I borrowed my dads truck for a few weeks, I got it inspected here in town, and the truck is registered in Rockwall County (by Dallas, emissions). It may be different with commercial though? I would try anyway Just go in like you have been getting it inspected there for years...

How does it start when it's cold or hot?
