All wrapped up...

My brother and I just wrapped up the work we were doing on his 05 6.0. It runs like a champ now. Before he was experiencing what we feel was injector stiction. It took a while before it would kick off, but when it did there was an immediate improvement to the sound at idle. I now have 2 of these jobs under my belt, just adding the injectors to the list. Again, not possible without you all! Special thanks to Blade35, Cheezit, and M-Chan for advice on the injector cups...


Oil Cooler - just because we were that deep
STC Fitting -
IPR screen -
Standpipes -
Dummy plugs -
8 Injectors -
Injector harness -
8 glow plugs -
Glow plug harness -
Water pump -

EGR Delete - Welded factory EGR cooler. EGR is still in place and plugged in.
Oil filter standpipe - Not by choice, little plastic piece broke...
Battery cable harness - Entire harness from drivers side battery to the starter...

The light will still probably be on due to no EGR flow to the valve.

Will the fan still work without the EGR valve? I left mine in and plugged in when I did my delete. No CEL.

It is my understanding by leaving the EGR valve unplugged it affects the fan speed. So an over heat scenario may occur.

If I am wrong, someone can jump in and save me...
