A few things to note: 1. The orange sensor next to the cold side intercooler pipe that I said was an EGR sensor is actually the throttle valve sensor, this needs to be unplugged during the EGR delete as mentioned. 2. Some people say to disconnect the battery before removing sensors, I did not do this and everything is fine just make sure truck is fully turned off of course and key is OFF/out of the ignition. 3. I’ll add more if anything comes to mind
I appreciate the time you took to make this, probably the first one I’ve seen that actually shows how to go through the tuner setup. I’ve got a stock ‘16 and will probably go this route in the spring when it warms back up.
@@texascubs3676 Thank you! That’s my goal is to provide super helpful, informative content. Check out my latest short, I’m doing a sinister diesel cold side charge pipe giveaway if you’re interested! It will fit yours.
Great video. Just bought the mini max V1 and was thinking same thing. Should I delete first or tune first. Hoping my 6.7 Cummins will be the same as your power stroke. Thx
@@stevenbrooks1243 it is totally necessary. You risk coolant from the EGR eventually leaking into the intake (which is a known problem) and then you’re fucked. Yes you’ll be fine for a bit most likely but still highly recommend removing it completely and installing block off plates. It’s all about longevity for me.
@@johncrowofficialI doubt it's going to leak when you don't have any heat running through it again. It's not necessary. There's guys that have deleted and tuned and kept the EGR cooler intact on top of the motor and ran it for over 100,000 MI. If you want to spread that propaganda by all means do it. I have the same truck doing the same shit you're doing with the same tuner no problems and I've been driving diesel pickups for 20 years dude all of them 6.7 7.3 6.0 so and I'm a professional mechanic so I'm just going to go with what I know works
@ there’s 100% still heat just not as much, coolant is still actively flowing through the EGR, and high EGT’s will still reach the closed EGR valve, which will gum up with soot so bad when you go to sell it at a dealership and put everything back on the valve is fucked. So yes there’s still a possibility of a coolant leak. Just things to think about for different scenarios, for me, it is necessary. Not “propaganda” lmao this ain’t politics bro😅 I just think in the end, it’s better to remove it, opens up a bunch of room in your engine bay, peace of mind.

You don't have to remove the EGR at all once it's Deleted and tuned that's not necessary it won't recirculate anything
