EGR Delete or not?

I was reading thru the Guide & Review section on the EGR Delete, I’m thinking of doing this myself. I’ve had to replace the EGR Cooler & Valve twice and the oil cooler once. My EGR valve seems to be sticking/coked again and I can’t afford another trip to FORD.

For you guys that have deleted it, what is the long term effect? Did it cause any other problems down the road?

Thanks!!

It helps more than it hurts and can be done in the safety and comfort of your own driveway. Just sure you have plenty of time and a buddy to help you with it...

Thanks for the reply! That's what I'm thinking, as far as hardware it seem more like this is the way the engine should work. Not sure what happens on the computer side? So far is sure beats spending $2500 a year on a valve & cooler!

Something to consider....if the state your truck is registered in ever starts emission testing you might have to put it back on.
