Last summer I ordered Doug Thorley Headers for my 99 V10 which has an EGR system, however I didn't specify to 5star nor think of it until I opened the box. 5star can write me a tune for no EGR and emissions. Since we use tailpipe emissions I don't see an issue with this. I would however like to cap or remove the system if possible and maintain the original ECU/PCM.
I did contact Doug Thorley and they wouldn't swap them out even if I paid shipping both ways, so now I am trying to find a way around this.
Does Ford use different I/M's for different emissions based trucks, or is a plate and gasket available to remove the EGR system?
What I am thinking is capping 9D477 and looping the hoses. Or remove it all and make a template, gasket and blockoff plate for the EGR on the intake manifold.
Did you figure out an EGR delete strategy? So far on FleaBay I haven't found a blockoff plate that fits 1999 models.
It's for the Mythic Dually Church Van, see my sig.
Thanks
See the post I quoted with the EGR delete plate, I purchased it last year. Header's will be installed either end of June or July this year. Will let you know then.
This part is not compatible with 1999 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon XLT Extended Passenger Van 2-Door 6.8L 415Cu. In. V10 GAS SOHC Naturally Aspirated.
I ordered that EGR blocking plate. If a person puts that on and leaves the existing egr valve and vacuum lines there. is it going to set a check engine light?
