I have never got a cel from messing with the egr [1 year unplugged in off position]

after the deleate egr valve plugged in
the scan gauge picks nothing up
my other code reader had yellow on emissions and a egr symbol flashing and a couple other ones flashing I assume it was from the batts getting unplugged and obdII had not compleated testing in all zones yet since
I will plug it in again this weekend to see if the good code reader gets anything

still no cel light whats it been a week week and half

I havent seen the infamous p0401 flow code yet

Yeah,those were the ones.thanks everyone for all the help.id rep ya but I don't know how?????also,I ended up leaving the cooler loose for the install.can't believe the amount of crush on the front donut o ring needed to get the intake manifold flat on the heads.when I set it on it sure wasn't flat like I'm used to seeing.

I just re used my old one.looked fine so I wasn't worried about it.an o ring that big would probably never go bad unless it was overheated.

Got it all in and buttoned up yesterday.fired right up and runs excellent.haven't had a chance to take it down the hiway yet but I will soon.did the blue spring and my fuel pressure went from 60 at idle and 45 at wot to a constant 75 psi.can definitely feel a difference in throttle response.one question though.....since doing the spring I can hear my fuel pump humm at idle.I'm contributing it to the increased pressure.anyone else have this happen?. The truck runs better than ever.
