Spartan will work with deleted EGR system, but it also will just disable it.

Thanks for the feedback I'm going to order the gearbox-z I have the edge tuner and a Autometer Trans temp with the probe welded in the pan and a pyrometer probe threaded in my exhaust manifold. So I just need to get rid of that filter thats choking my truck to death.

Have you compared your trans temp and EGR temp numbers to those from the factory sensors? I monitor the factory sensor feeds with my Scan Gauge 2.

I did for a while the egr temps are close , but my gauge for the trans temp are a bit lower most of the time. I trust the gauges much more. Autometer make high quality stuff.

I keep a close eye on my temps and I'm thinking of the bullet coolers.

DPF

Have you seen MPG increase with each of these mods. I just picked up a 08 f-450 that is stock and looking to get better MPG from it.
