EGR, MAS, & CAT

[ISurvivedNMU]

With the Ford 6.0's, have there been any issues with open EGR's from adding a larger exhuast, and removing the CAT... The Chevys have a issue,so I suspect the Fords have the same issue.

I know there are programmers working on keeping the EGR closed? And I have seen the plates to close off the Chevy EGR, but not the Ford? -popcorn

Is this due to the unavailability of place to talk about this, or is it a non-issue?

My EGR has been unplugged since day 1. Still the EGR cooler went bad and had to be changed.....

Out of curiousity what codes do you set with the EGR unplugged on a 6.0L?

I don't remember but i have never set a check engine light......

I realise that but there might be other side effects by just setting codes. I'd be really interested to see what the codes are. I could try it but I don't have a Can-bus scanner. My scanner is upgradable but apparantly the can-bus upgrade is not released yet

All i know is i lost 1mpg when the dealer put the new cooler in and i gained it right back when i unhhoked the EGR valve........

Did it stay that way or did it eventually go back down 1mpg? We were seeing gains on the duramax as well but they quickly faded back to where they were before the mod. A guy by the name of fingers eventually made a circuit reffered to as 'finger stick' that fools the MAF into thinking that the EGR is functioning correctly. No codes, no hicups and best of all no sooty intake. It also works for removing the Cat. So that is why I am interested in learning more about the 6.0L EGR.
