So I don't have anything to worry about on that part.

STC is around 60 bucks from www.tousleyfordparts.com and the standpipe, dummy plug kit for about a 100 bucks.

AND you can do one or the other or both.
It really depends on if you need/want to.
Valve covers for the Stand Pipe and Dummy plugs
Turbo,Intake for the STC fitting. You can do it without
pulling the intake but it's a bit more of a trick.

So you think it might be ok to just do the STC fitting? I think that might work for this truck as it currently is problem free. I think I might can just pull the HPOP cover and leave the intake in place. I watched the video of SR.mastertech on youtube about how to pull the cover without the intake being removed. Would it be harder since the EGR cooler is still intact. I may just go ahead and delete that as well. Here is a question for you guys. If I delete the egr cooler but leave the egr valve bolted in the intake and plugged up, will my fan still operate normally and not throw any CEL codes?

Yes and maybe. Depends on what strategy you have.
The latest one looks at the IAT2 to see if the HOT EGR
gasses are flowing into the system. If it does not see
the expected rise it sets a code. Don't know if a CEL
shows up also or not.
How ever you fan will work.

Mine is an 06' last flashed 11/08. I deleted the egr, left the valve in place and plugged in, and it turns on the CEL. I have the VXCF5H5 TQCK0T5 strategy.

Apparently when they flashed it they didn't use the most recent strategy. Truck was built 8/05. That visit in 08 was the last time anyone but me has done any work to it.

Haha. That would explain why I had to resolder my FICM last month.
And OP sorry for the hijack.
