EGR Delete

I have a 95 F150 4X4 auto with the 351 engine. On previous older cars I have deleted the EGR system only to find that it causes the engine to ping, because it raises the combustion area temperature.
Is this the case with the engine I have in ky truck? The EFR light is on and it is not functioning. The engine does ping and the power is not what it should be. Looking for advise to delete the EGR or fix it. No smog check needed where I am so a check engine light is not a problem.
Thank you in advance!
Ken

Verify timing is 10 degrees BTDC.

Exactly. EGR lowers cylinder temp. and gives better gas milage.

Yes the EGR system has the same effect on your truck so you would be better off fixing the system.
