I had just deleted my egr, new oil cooler, new hpop, new ipr, and new lpop, but deleting my egr did not correct my puking so now to the heads, plus have to put dummy plugs cause I drove my truck to town and back and it died on me so everyone thinks its the dummy plugs so I will fix that also. And hopefully that fixes everything cause I have to pull my 17,000 lbs camper 2400 miles in two weeks.
