MPG, EGT’s any... those were just some that came to mind quick.

No check engine lights or anything so far. EGT's the same, MPG? don't know I just fill it up when it needs it.

I am going to connect mine back up because my dead pedal and turbo lag is back now that the temperature is hotter outside. I see if it gets worse or better?

Sorry, I hit post too soon, I disconected mine on my old Benz diesel, and it keeps the
intake clean and more power and better mpg's. I am not sure where the EGR is located on the new 6.0. Thanks!
