To delete the EGR would guarantee that you would never bend a rod from a egr cooler leak, not that bad coolers are a big problem with the 6.4, but it does happen. If you have the parts I would do it, plus it will declutter the engine compartment a tad.

I was told by a mechanic if the EGR's are gone I risk a high pressure event that will blow my head gaskets.

Lots of people run egr delete without blowing head gaskets, you would really have to running it hard to do damage, many posts on egr deletes, time for more reading to make a intelligent decision.

I have a thread on this. I called spartan wondering the same thing about wategates. They feel confident that if you're not adding more than 500hp to your truck it will be ok. I'm taking my egr off for the simple reason its a junk set-up.
