![]() ![]() ![]() Those that do either had bad parts (which can happen with anything that is built by man) or bad install. If the EGR system was the true culprit behind those failures than there wouldn't be a need for the coolant filter, but those that EGR failures and had their oil coolers replaced more often than not ( at least 51% of the time) didn't have repeat failures. ![]() flushes I think I'm safe from needing one at this point, unless I just put the wrong stuff back in. Otherwise why would people still advocate putting on a coolant filter even after an EGR delete (as you did)? Something else that I don't have I might add. You can still have a plugged Oil Cooler even without an EGR system. The Oil Cooler is the one that is perhaps the most damning system, not the EGR system. Mine have been.īare in mind too, a lot of repear EGR failures could be attributed to techs not knowing about the link between the Oil Cooler and the EGR Cooler (and some still do not know about the link between the two). Should we reconsider the use of studs as well, because we have techs that think twice about it? Or machining the heads? You have techs that say no machining whatsoever. If they were really not "needed" do you think the 6.0 techs would waste their time and money on one? After all, they do see more of those common types of failures than we do.Might I remind you that we have a tech on these boards that actually doesn't advocate the use of headstuds as well. Even some of the replacement y-pipes in the delete kits can be troublesome as well due to how they are welded.ĮGR deletes have been proven time and time again. The y-pipes can be a bit troublesome if you aren't careful. You would just have to find an exhaust shop that is willing to risk getting caught to do the work for you if you can't do it yourself. All the equipment would be there if someone went looking. However, if you are just dead set on doing something, I wouldn't do the full delete. ![]() Emissions testing just increases your odds of getting caught, doesn't make it any more or less an illegal act. A lot of people seem to think that it's ok as long as you don't have emissions testing. Considering my truck is flowing 40% more fuel than even just a tuned 6.0 truck and I have my original working EGR system that was on my truck when it just had 20 miles and now it is over 200k.Īlso bare in mind that it is illegal for you to do this on a truck that is going to be used "on-road" regardless if your local area has emissions testing or not. I know they use this stuff in big rig trucking but other then that I haven't heard of many people using it in normal trucks much.Īt 43 bucks a gallon, it's pricy, and would cost me about 280 bucks to do a coolant change on mine, but then I'd never have to change the coolant again.I'm not a big fan of deleting the EGR system. That seems huge to me, especially on having the 6.0 liter where coolant is the biggest killer of oil and egr coolers. This stuff apparently boils at 375 degrees. My truck tops out at 16psi for coolant to raise the boiling point on the water. It never corrodes metals because it has no water in it and it's easier on your cooling system because it requires only about 4psi of pressure vs higher psi in other cooling systems. Jay Leno did a little excerpt on it too :įrom what I've read up, after completely flushing your coolant and replacing it with this stuff, you will never have to change your coolant again.
