So I get my truck back today, shop did a oil cooler and a delete. They are telling me to leave my EGR valve unplugged? That is contradicting what I have read here.
Opinions?

 

Plug it in.

 

Yup,plug it back in.

Problems with unplugging the EGR valve
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...egr-valve.html

 

Unplugging the EGR valve can affect operation of the cooling fan.

 

I read thru half of this thread and it quickly turned into a thread about tunes. Lol

 

I shoulda warned ya to just check the first page but forgot-lol. No real info on which flash version is affected either but the explanation of the fan operation using IDS by a well trained and trusted Tech was the main point.

 

So freaking pi$$ed. Apparently my truck won't be ready until Monday.

STUPID

 

From what I've read on here if you don't have a tuner then leave it plugged in...if you have a tuner then leave it unplugged...

That said...here's my real world...I've run mine for two years unplugged without a tune with no problems at all.

Now I'm 6 months of running with a tune that turns off the EGR...just toasted the oil cooler and at least one of the hg...coincidence?

Hope that helps you...not sure if it helps me or not...LOL

 

Leave it plugged in tuned or not.

I guess after I have finished the hg and studs and installed external coolant and oil filters and a running a tune...I'm not worried at all about keeping it status quo...
