Scanner/Codes needed for EGR delete?
05' F250 6.0L. I have to get a scanner to turn my check engine light off due to get my EGR delete. Unfortunately the mechanic did the delete by welding it shut so cant plug it back in. Therefor, I have to get a scanner! any suggestions on a scanner and the codes I need? Money is tight so cant spend a fortune I just have to pass inspection. Any feedback in much needed and appreciated. Next week is the inspection. Thanks guys

Well first off you would be better over at 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
You may want to also have some gauges to watch what the engine is doing The SGII is the best price one.
ScanGaugeII : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge
Then to get the light to go out and stay out your going to have to get a tuner like the SCT
from Gearhead Automotive Performance
Matt does a very good job at writing tunes for the 6.0L
Here is the tuner package they sell Gearhead Automotive Performance
This is what I run and really like it.
One thing you can try is take the old EGR valve and plug it back in and just place it in the valley and
maybe zip tie it in place. That may or may not solve the light (CEL) unless you have one of the later
programing strategies in your truck. The later ones also look at the IAT2 sensor to verify that the
EGR system is in fact working and not blocked off.
Anyway come on over to the 6.0L Forum and ask questions and get some good info.
