    egr disconect

    “Any parts or pieces going to fall out when I pull it out”? Hi Brian, now you’re just going to unplug it right? Not remove it all together?:eek: “Should I put anthing over the hole to keep "stuff" from getting in there?” I used the little clear plastic plug that came with the new /...

    egr disconect

    Here you go, red arrow is pointing to the original EGR, the yellow arrow is pointing to the phony one. See the white plastic cap on the original EGR? Just pull the plug. :sweet

    boost hose slips off

    Here is how a bridge and dock builder keeps the hot side hose on. I eventually bought after market hoses and clamps, hasn’t come off once since doing all this:thumbs . I also used this CAT glue when assembling the hoses.:sweet

    egr disconect

    I’ve had mine unplugged for way over a year now. Truck has been back to the dealer twice for re-calls, they never said a word. I bought a new EGR, and built a bracket, mounted it using the alternator bolt. Whenever the truck would go into the dealer, I just unplug the phony one, plug back into...

    Latest Flash for 6.0l

    The opening statement on my recall notice is “The enclosed letter details a no-charge service provided by Ford Motor Company to update the 6.0 engine control system in your vehicle. These actions will improve the overall performance of your engine, and will address symptoms of rough idle, loss...

    Well thank you VIZARD :thanks ! Here are some pictures of a little project we did, to upgrade Jack’s bumper pull trailer, thought you guys might appreciate all the work that goes into making one of these gooseneck adapters. Sorry I don’t hang out here much, stay on the welding forums more than I...

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    Well Dave in my case the power increased substantially. If anything my mileage maybe went down 1/10- of a mile. Now here’s my story and I’m sticking to it. My buddy Jack has a 2000 Dodge w/ Cummins w/ auto w/ 4:10 gears. Before I plugged in a phony EGR I could never catch him in the passes /...

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    Thanks Owen, and you may have a point! :) d.welch1 I’ve only checked my mileage a couple times. The first time, I was so shocked I really didn’t want to ever do it again. Checked it one time after the phony EGR, down only a 10th or so. Now for the bad news, no one laugh. Hauling 4-tons of...

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    WOW, you guys need to do your self’s a favor. Buy another EGR, mount it somewhere with zip ties, and plug the wiring harness into the new / phony EGR. Once I did this, I could not believe the difference in power. With a phony EGR in place the on board computer only knows the EGR is opening and...

    6.0L blew its intercooler tube

    But swanee, isn’t the EGR, and the new way of venting the crankcase all related to the new EPA laws? Isn’t that the reason for the 6.0 in the first place, the 7.3 was just not environmentally friendly? Now lets see we can spray oil all over the ground, and be more environmentally friendly! Least...

    6.0L blew its intercooler tube

    Well the only thing I can think of, is buy some exhaust clamps and turnbuckles. I seen pictures on another site, where a guy did basically the same thing as I did, but he drilled holes, and used pop rivets, with a cam lever clamp. I think his idea is just as good as mine, but I’d rather not...

    6.0L blew its intercooler tube

    Hi Max, don’t quote me on this, because I’ll probably get it wrong. I read somewhere with the new EPA laws / EGR this 6.0 has a different crank case venting system, so we are the lucky ones who will see more oil in the intercooler hose that the earlier models. Good friend of mine has a 2000...

    6.0L blew its intercooler tube

    Hi Max, I think you can just clean everything up real well. My hose blew off 6-times in one weekend. Here is what I’ve done, I added 3-turnbuckles and exhaust clamps. It has not blown off once since doing this, and I hit 28 to 29 pounds of boost all the time. I have read on other forums, and...

    Hi tgatch, the EGR thing is what soured my stomach. I was in the big middle of that one. The part that frosted me was Super Duty John was the one asking me the most questions about the performance of my truck with a phony EGR installed, then all of a sudden he changes his attitude and starts...
