Crazy question about EGR

1st off good morning , Afternoon or evening depending on when you read this. So my crazy question is after removing the EGR has anybody heard of someone cleaning it just in case they have to re install it later or go to sell the truck? The reason I ask is because some people said that after they have re installed it that it was frozen up I don't want this to be a headache for someone else if I do to saw the truck I'd rather than be able to throw it back on and it function call it good karma. Thank you for all your advice and input.

I've never heard of cleaning the EGR with the intent of sticking it on the shelf. No reason it couldn't be done though. How many miles on yours?

You are doing the next owner a service by removing it. I would just stick it on the shelf. The problem guys run into when going back to stock with the EGR valve is when they leave it on the truck after deleting and let the exhaust gas dead head into the electronically shutoff valve. If you are removing the cooler/valve combo from the truck or using block off plates, this usually isn’t a problem.

I'm intrigued. So, it can be harmful to keep the EGR is place if there's a chance it will be used again? Can that area be cleaned prior to replacing the EGR?

If you plan on ever putting the emissions back in place to operate, either fully remove the system off the truck OR install block off plates. The plates remove the EGR crossover tubes. This method allows you to keep the cooler/valve assembly on the truck. It just eliminated the exhaust gas from getting to the EGR valve.

Here is a shot of my truck with blocker plates. They allow the cooler to stay on the truck.

Interesting. I am going to look into this. So those are the just the standard block off plates and you removed the piping that runs to the EGR. I am guessing that the longer plate is still in its packaging on a shelf somewhere.

There are different kits depending on what you want to do to your truck. One for only removing the crossover pipes, another for entire EGR removal and a flow through plate if you would like the coolant flow like the EGR was still in place. At least that is how I understand it.



No Limit 6.7 EGR block off set
No Limit 6.7 EGR Delete (15-16)
No Limit Fab 6.7 EGR Pass Thru Plate

This is a block off plate kit. Not a full EGR delete kit. Dirthawg posted links to the different kits. The blocker plate kit will have 4 plates. Two for the inlet and outlet on the cooler, one for the intake manifold, and one for the exhaust manifold. A full EGR delete will come with 2 plates and the bigger plate that allows removal of the cooler.

Dpf delete egr disable

Morning gentlemen recently acquired a new to me 2017 6.7 w 42k that I am looking to dpf delete egr disable and this is the first info I have found on this method any additional info would be much appreciated. I plan to do ez link w ppei tune and mbrp pipe. https://performancetruckproducts.com...-6-7l-2017-19/
The truck already has s&b intake (and a afe scorcher HD tuner which I plan to remove).
My previous experience was a 2010 6.4 I got.with 115k that I immediately dpf deleted and did nothing with the egr no issues for the 30k miles I accumulated in 4yrs.


That era of programming required all sensors to remain plugged in. My understanding of the 2017 / 6.7 is that all sensors can be removed/unplugged after tune...is this true? Do you have a source I can educate myself?

Thanks in advance!
