With the EGR unplugged it causes a CEL and a P0405 code. With that code the ECM doesn't even attempt to use the Butterfly or the egr related stuff. I experienced an increase in the miles between regen by near 30% from every 150 to every 250 miles. MPG's increase. Trips to the dealer are reduced to near nothing. I've never been to the dealer, except for something stupid that I did to the truck. And they were nice enough to cover that under warranty. 
A person with mechanical aptitude can do the TBE in about 2 hours with a helper. I couldn't imagine doing that job single handed. It takes a person holding the pipe in position to put the turbo clamp on.
Look in the Tech article section. Link in my signature for all kinds of articles on the DIY deletes and EGR deletes. What WORKS and what doesn't. There a wealth of real time experience in that section. |
Dad2bike.. I didn't know that.. sorry for the wrong info and thanks for correcting...
I was out of the forum for a while from about January through May and I probably missed a lot of information. I know when it all started some people who tried to block the EGR without doing the DPF delete were having some issues... Anyway it is good to know.
BTW, with the EGR blocked and DPF still intact, how was the economy? Did you gain any MPG? Was it as good as with the dpf delete?
