egr pro or con
so my 04 6.0 with 94000 trouble free miles started acting up last week, sluggish and rough on start up, black smoke on acceleration so I did the search and decided the egr was acting up. disconnected it last night and the truck runs a lot better this morning without the egr plugged in. Still a little sluggish and a little smoke but a lot better. Now my question is do I remove, clean, and replace egr and plug back in or leave it unplugged?? have at it boys!

If you really had trouble free miles (not reflashed with the EPA flash), I would Clean it (sounds like you may still have some blow by past it.) put it in but not plug it in.
Or Clean it, plug it in, and get a SCT X3 with a custom tune and the EGR duty cycle set to 0%. No code, no epa mode, no measuring of MAF drop during EGR valve operation (because it never operates). All smiles.
