EGR replace vs. EGR delete?
I have a 2004 6.0 power stroke v8 turbo diesel that, at least from what I'm being told, needs to have the EGR cooler and the oil cooler replaced. The best price I've been quoted is $3,500.00! Does this seem reasonable? And, would an EGR delete be the better way to go?

The IPR Gen 2 is pretty nice, if I had looked around more, I would have bought it.
The ADT kit has never given me any problems in the 4 years it's been installed but I didnt use the supplied hose clamps with it either, they slipped before getting as tight as I wanted them.

I think it's a good option if it's done right. Don't use freeze plugs, cut some nice thick steel plugs and the welding has to be good. You do keep the little blue hose that leaks often but the up pipe is still supported where it bolts to the egr cooler. Its very possible to pass a visual smog check with this mod, it looks factory and several have posted their trucks have passed an exhaust sniffer test also.

*No tuner required! Kit does not require removal of the EGR solenoid
and will NOT trigger any check engine lights! If disconnecting the EGR
solenoid triggers a check engine light, you can leave the solenoid in place
and connected after completing the rest of the delete kit installation.
