EGR question

I have read a lot of post about rhe EGR valve, how to make a restrictor plate and all and i am a bit confused. I am going to make a restrictor plate soon. My truck is Arkansas registered so emissions is no problem. Should i just block off my EGR valve completely, or put the 1/8 in. hole in there? I know this will keep my truck from bucking and surging as it has done this in the past. BTW my truck has 120,000 miles on it. Any help on this would be appreciated.

There are plenty of posts about this, and through those you'll get an idea of everyone's preferences.

But since you're asking - Personally, I used the 1/8" hole and now wish I had just totally blocked it off.

Best,

I just recently took out the plate with the 1/8 inch hoole and completely blocked it off. Runs smoother, wraps up faster, I think my teeth are even whiter now too. Block it off all the way, any problems take it out and but a hole in it.

Awesome - I want my truck to run better, too, and to have whiter teeth on top of it? Surely this fix was designed by the gods!



Soon as it gets warm out I'm moving over to the totally-blocked-off miracle (with citrus and oxygenated cleansers) plate then.

Thanks for the help guys. When I get around to making one I will block it off completely. Thanks again.
