EGR valve
94 F-250. 460. In the process of installing a Banks exhaust system. Deleting the A.I.S. system. I understand the E.G.R. valve needs to be kept in. Question is it is ran thru the Tab/Tad solenoids for vacuum. Can I just run it straight off the vacuum tree in the intake manifold?
thanks
thanks

The EGR solenoid can be run on the vac line it originally was connected to. The vac is branched & not through the others.
The tab/tad solenoids need to remain connected electrically.

EGR is connected to one of the se oids. So just reconnect it to the solenoid and cap off the other vacuum ports on the solenoid ?

The EGR solenoid needs to be hooked up to the vacuum reservoir so it gets a steady draw regardless of engine speeds.
You need to look at the vac diagram somewhere in the engine compartment if still there or trace it back to the canister.
You can cap the lines to the tab/tad, but it's better to have just one line to eliminate leaks.

EGR deletes do not normally work as advertised.
You may be over thinking this. All the solenoids operate off the vacuum reservoir. Think water hose hooked up to a 3 port outlet & you only need one.
The diagram I asked about?
I can't tell exactly how your 460 is plumbed, I just know how they all work in general for this gen trucks.

I’m kind of in the same boat with my 5.8. I purchased the EGR block off plate and EGR plug that is supposed to “trick” the computer, pulley and idler mount. I have yet to mess with the tube that connects to the back of the heads or the manifolds. Was waiting to get my transmission out for more room to work.
I still have a ways to go before starting my truck so that’s all the info I can give you at the moment.

Then keep the EGR system. It uses exhaust (inert gas) to help fill the combustion chamber so you don’t need to inject as much fuel to keep the air/fuel ratio correct.

I relocated the solenoids to the firewall near the pedal on a modded bracket.
