A real simple way to block off your EGR, Well kinda, you still need to remove turbo and intake the wire loom and Inj, loom for the most part will lay over to the pass, side.
and if you go that far you should take off the oil filter tower, take out the oil cooler from the housing and clean it out with hi-pressure HOT water / Steam like a pressure washer, it works very well.
And yes when you take off the filter tower and take out the oil cooler it will spill about a 3/4 qt, of oil,so put some rags in the area in front of the turbo.
now back to the EGR cooler just go get 3 freeze plugs to plug up both ends
's of the cooler then the third you use to block the Y / down pipe
(The one that go's to the cooler).
don't need to but W.T.H.
Now some down pipes have a ramp type deal in them if you look down in side, to catch exhaust togo into the EGR cooler, it almost blocks 3/4 of the dia, of the pipe.
If you have a harbor freight tools near by get a exhaust pipe expander that fits inside take a torch and heat up the area thru the port that the cooler clamps on to (get it red hot) now with your impact gun tighten up the expander it will close up the ramp deal, and now all the exhaust will goto the turbo, AND YES you will feel a difference in take off, ( more low end tork,)
It took me 6hr cuz like a dumb AZZ I didn't put a new Oring on the oil cooler housing, (the lite Blue one)
Well no need to tell you what it did, hahaha.
So had to take it all back apart.
Now you need to watch the turbo going back on where it clamps on to the Ex/pipe, if lip on the pipe doesn't go into the turbo then you should loosen up the two bolts on the ex-pipe on pass, and driver side and the y pipe, just loosen. it will only take you 5 extra min, as long as you have the right tools like a two 2' extensions an swivel. now I use a Dewalt 18V impact gun, it makes quick work of the whole job. Very quick.I have pic,s
And I have two trucks with it done like this with over 70,000 miles on them. and one pulled a 8,300lb concrete pump every day. Here in so-cal with a temp in summer time around 90.

and do the freeze plugs seal tight enough to keep the coolant out of the intake manafold If the inside of the egr cooler ever has a breach since you still use the egr cooler to compleate the coolant loop

I know people weld them the exhaust side anyway I just dont know if I want to take the chance at trash and junk that may be inside the old egr cooler on the coolant side getting flush out and working its way back into the new oil cooler im putting on at the same time.

I'll look and get back to you on the sz, but you can weld them or silver solder them.
My EGR was blown up (leaking) and I have no isue with it leaking and I pull..... well did pull a 41' toy hauler till I got a new 4X4 duramax and would never go back to the POS ford, Plus the trailer was WAY over on GVRW 23,000 truck/trailer.
Only reason I keep it, Is it has 3500$ king shox and a 9'' lift with BFD rims 38x20x15 M/T tires, ARP head studs, and a few other things, and with my back round with motors in general from Top fuel boat racing, to High HP lake or offshore boats I can some-what fix it if it has porblems, Well some. haha. Just not the FICM prob, it has rt, now.
And #2 I gave it to my 17 yr, old daughter to drive and she likes it.
I would put a pic up but I don't see how to do it.

I did find out about diesel emissions in my area they quit testing them in 2006 and they said if they started again it would only be if the highway patrol thinks you have excessive smoke and yd get a ticket that way
I have only seen 1 welded cooler fail on this site that Iv noticed I do think a welded cooler failure is rare
