EGR cooler delete help
Hi guys, I know this has probably been beat to death but every link I find the has instructions to wiping out the EGR cooler is a dead link.
So does anybody have a live link or something else that could be shot over to me so I can kick this EGR problem before it kicks me?

If you have time, look through several pages of the 6.0 forum for a thread titled something like "My $68.17 EGR cooler delete". I don't remember the author or I'd link it for you.

Oh, that's cool, thanks. Unfortunately I live in an emissions unfriendly zone so I would need the delete to be reversible, (am I wrong on this point?)

Why on earth would you want to reverse the delete? I live in a very tight emissions area for autos and diesels don't get tested at the tailpipe. As long as it doesn't put out visible smoke it's good to go.
The delete itself is enough work you'll not want to make a habit of doing it/undoing it. Are the results worth the effort? Yes!

Ah, I see. I mus be stuck in gasser mode. So really the emissions are based on the smoke output and not some sniffer test. Thus doing the EGR delete wouldn't make nay difference.
Cool, thanks!

Wow that scoop looks pretty restrictive. Thanks for the detailed write up!

Also, I believe if there is the fear of an over inquisitive inspector there is a sneaky pipe alternative I have heard about. But I have not researched it much.

Hmm, that might be worth looking into just in case. Anyone shed a little light on this?
