What to do about egr
Hey fellers and fellets. I’ve got another work truck problem. I have a 2015 f250 with the 6.7 power stroke. Not a bad running truck. But however my egr cooler is blown and my truck over pressures my cooling system at random. This is a company owned truck and it stays on site so no road driving. My question is, I can’t get them to send it off to fix it so I am stuck dealing with it. Can I block off the egr pipe from the exhaust without a tune and it still function? Meaning the after treatment. Will it throw a check engine light and not regen or will just a plate fool it. I can’t get the truck fixed and I can’t delete it due to federal regs. So I’m just throwing stuff at the wall here.
thanks for any input

Well, funny thing I’m an electrician. I’ve been told that I have a new truck coming for the last two years. Only reason I’ve got this one is I fixed the front diff myself. Won’t get me one. Before I had this truck my “service truck” was either twin turbo lambofeeties and a 5 gallon bucket or a zoom boom with a toolbox on the forks. I’ve thought about blowing it up but there is two trucks broke now and they won’t fix those. I’m not going back to walking because if the truck goes that’s what happens. Trying to make my life a little easier here.

Sounds like you need to get a job with a better company
I don't know anything about a 6.7.
I'm guessing you work on a big site and this is used to get around in? Go get yourself a good used Polaris general/ ranger...then you also have something you can go play in on the weekends

I work at a mine. So it is very corrosive, wouldn’t have anything nice that I bring there, also state of Ohio requires diesel engines underground. So diesel is a must. As far as better company I’m seeing what is out there. Only reason I’ve stayed there is because it is 32 miles round trip and home every night. I turned down a power plant job making about $15 an hour more but it was 112 miles one way. Like I tell everyone that asks. I work here because it is convenient. When it stops being convenient then other offers become convenient.
