Egr Valve Delete?

We bought a used F.350 6.0 recently
How would you tell if it has a EGR delete in it?
Thanks a lot

That's only if they deleted the cooler. If somebody just did the EGR delete via the block off plate (far more likely) you wont be able to tell if it's been done or not at least without some serious looking as it's meant to be hidden from emissions techs.

Then to me that's not a delete. That's a bypass, but yeah I know what your saying.

That's what it is. It's a bypass. A delete would eliminate the cooler. You might have some that call the kit a "delete" kit and the cooler is still there, but it's not a true delete kit.

If you are in a state that have / may have emissions inspection coming soon, I would insist on a working factory EGR system.

Ah good point, I live in CO (an emissions state) so I can't do the true delete I have to hide it.

it may throw a code depending on year also if the egr is not functioning ,, a code can get you failed ,, ,, you would need a tuner to block the cel or code from being visable when they check
