Thanks for the info. I'll try the battery disconnect procedure and see if it works for me.

From everyting I have read on disconntect/disable EGR, the only way it can be done on a Cal vehicle is by SCT. Disconnect throws CEL as well as possible performance issues with boost. Just blocking flow or replacing with a dummy EGR will throw CEL for lack of flow measured by expected pressure drop.

I have wanted to get rid of the soot making engine life shortening EGR, but it appears that a SCT is about the only route.

Thanks for the info and excuse the dumb question but what is a SCT? I have a scanner that reads and clears codes but I don't think it's that. If it's a tuner I didn't want to chip the 6.0 for warranty issues and especally high egt's. All ready have replaced 2 turbos and 2 VGT solenoids.

Yes, it is a tuner. I dont want to go to a tuner for the same reasons, except my 05 has been flawless and I want to keep it for some miles, 46K now.

You can get an SCT witha custom program to eliminate the EGR from the loop only, or EGR and Trans. tuning, etc. without any other tuning changes.
