That's good news for my 3.2 engine, I decided to installed the cable instead of the delete plate because it was way easier after watching your video on it and your results are very encouraging. I will do that test myself after my next oil change to see if it continues to improve. Thanks for the effort to make this video.
I deleted my EGR with 4K km on by Software, changing oil ones per year or every 10k, After 10k it is still totally clean, very hard to determinie the oil Level because so clean.., Never had any issues with exhaust Test every 2 years here, values always in Spec., no error Message on OBD… greeting from Germany
Been running a blanking plate on the passenger side and the EGR delete cable on my 2013 BT50 (242XXXKM) for over a year as I started having codes and reduced performance due to the EGR valve itself. Honestly a good thing you can do for the longevity of your engine. The oil in the engine is incredibly transparent compared to the jet black oil modern diesels with working EGRs produce not even 5000km after being serviced.
I use a flush putting it in 30-60 minutes before draining. I do my changes latest at 7000klms. Oil after change is almost invisible on the dipstick. Need to use the sun reflection off it to see where the level is. Small tip: when beginning to pour from a full oil container turn vertical with hole up, this way it will never “glug”, rather pour smoothly. Vehicle is Toyota Prado. Hate the engine though. Needs at least another cylinder. In-line 5 would have been better, in-line 6 cylinder better again. Best engine I owned was 2008 Audi Q7 4.2 TDi twin turbo V8. Oil filter was right in front of you when you open the bonnet…bloody easy to access. Way more torque than LC 4.5 L V8. Got 7.6 L/100 cruise control (and on the speed limit) the whole way from NewCastle NSW to Gympie in QLD. Had a mild tune and the rear “boat anchor” muffler replaced with mandrel bend hot dogs on each Stainless exhaust. Sounded awesome. Should have kept that old girl. If the twin turbos fail, then it’s $25K - $30K to fix as the engine has to come out with the front bumper removed. After replacing the $3500 AC compressor that was it for me.
Hey Legend, purchased the AOB cable for my PX2 Wildtrak after watching your previous video. Car seemed to use a little more fuel and had loud turbo flutter on shut down. When researching I found information suggesting that the PX2s have a more integrated egr and throttle body system where the throttle body compensates for the egr opening and putting inert gas into the cylinder, running leaner and thus lower cylinder temperatures? With the egr permanently closed but the ecu tricked to think it’s open, do you know what effect it has on the throttle body compensating? Is the ecu smart enough to realise the mixtures are not what it’s expecting? Just don’t want to increase cylinder combustion temperatures or something else go wrong. In researching this is not the case for px1 as they’re simpler and don’t integrate with the throttle body. Would love it to be simple and replug the cable back in but wondering if an actual tune is required to compensate for the EGR actually being off and the ecu knowing as such not just being tricked? Thanks for your help
good point, tho diesel can't run too lean as the revs are controlled by the amount of diesel that is injected into the cylinder, in essence they are always running lean, yes the Rangers have a throttle body but it does not have the same function as throttle body in a petrol car, on a ranger on light throttle it stays partially closed so it sucks in more EGR and also on shut down it partially closes, so the engine does not shake when turning off, from testing i've done i've seen a drop in EGT temps.
@ thanks mate appreciate the reply, so no negatives that you can find? I’ve got the cable installed just disconnected until I was confident / checked a couple of queries out. Effectively the increased shake / turbo flutter on shutdown is normal with the cable installed?
I had the exactly the same issue with my px2 wildtrak. Didn't feel right with the cable plugged in, loud turbo flutter & vibrations on the foot pedel etc. Sometimes the revs would slightly flutter aswell. Runs smooth now with egr running. I think a tune is the only way..
@@jarrydrobson5300 just unplugged it still sitting in the engine bay. I had mine in for about 1000km. No harm in trying it, il plug it in again sometime. Throttle response also felt to instant with it plugged in.
Yes they do. I had one on my 2014 bt50 3.2L. In the end I had to block off my egr cooler as it died so I just blanked it off with plates while I was there.
the one I got tells my ecu that its like -4 degrees outside which makes the ecu turn off the egr valve. I dont actually know why the ecu does this but I assume that if you were trying to start your diesel in cold weather the exhaust gas would make it pretty hard on the motor.
Won't require a tune...the EGR valve is a normally closed valve and only opens at cruising speed Is closed on start up when idling, under load when accelerating or towing
Great video also as a follow up on the previous one!! Does the 2.2 also have the problem with the 10 minutes oil change or else the oil pump won't prime? What grade oil did u use? 5W-30? Thanks, salute from Europe!

As a mechanic i can tell you, if you actually took the car around the block, it would be as dirty as the other oil.
First of all, thank you for the video, do you know where I can find the ranger service manual?

Im in South Africa, i wonder if there's a place where i can buy this EGR delete cable here in South Africa.
does the ford ranger 2.2 have a transmition cooler?

@ did you end up returning the cable and just running with EGR?

Does one get cables for the next gen ranger as well?
L200 cable delete works well oil should still be dirty after 5000 miles
Hi, EGR Delete Cable available for 2.0 Biturbo 2019 model ??
Great video cheers! Do the EGR delete cables work with Pre- DPF models?
Yes they do. I had one on my 2014 bt50 3.2L. In the end I had to block off my egr cooler as it died so I just blanked it off with plates while I was there.
Yes it does, put one on my 2016, with no issues
@@alibarber57 Cheers mate
@@turbostyler Cheers!
@boganery no worries....look into getting rid of the egr cooler altogether
Look up ...sidesmods...they have a kit for it
Why does it go between the airflow sensor
the one I got tells my ecu that its like -4 degrees outside which makes the ecu turn off the egr valve. I dont actually know why the ecu does this but I assume that if you were trying to start your diesel in cold weather the exhaust gas would make it pretty hard on the motor.
yeh older technology with that cable
I prefer just the plate as I feel with the cable it needs a tune
Won't require a tune...the EGR valve is a normally closed valve and only opens at cruising speed
Is closed on start up when idling, under load when accelerating or towing
Great video also as a follow up on the previous one!!

yes it does, same oil pump, 5w30
