EGR delete
Good morning FTE users
When i bought my truck it had the egr deleted
The egr delete is pretty well done, The cooler deleted, the egr vave gone and closed with a cap, and the big connector that goes under the intake elbow has 2 (or 3) wires cutted
It throws a lot of EGR codes, my PCM was bad but i think that with a fine PCM it will light up the MIL
The SCT programmer could turn off the mil when the egr valve still is in
Wonder if i should buy and install again the egr valve
Much appreciated help

EGR Deletes are more often than not problems (the EGR provides more benefits than most realize). I recommend sticking with the basic stock setup -- do the regular $10-$15 maintenance (two o-rings and a gasket), clean it (and its installation location) with the correct solvent and don't get cleaner in places that will destroy the valve.

Also recommend tossing any and all tuners -- the vast majority do more harm than good and they all violate Federal, State laws.

You can plug in the EGR valve without mounting it in the intake if you have something to plug/cover the hole.
Also you should get a pigtail and replace the connector that has the cut wires.

Cylinder head longevity (Powerstroke heads are notorious for cracks) , exhaust valve life, and overall improved engine life compliments of reduced cylinder temps plus you're following Federal, State, and local laws.

I thought the EGR system strategy is active mainly during partial engine loads and at low and medium engine speed areas, where oxygen is in excess. In the high engine load (torque), the EGR system is deactivated, the cylinders being filled only with air, during the hottest combustion temperatures.
The cracking at the valve seats has more to do with the induction hardening stresses left behind, IMO.
