I am really into saving the environment so I routed my tailpipe into the EGR cooler and tig welded a custom "T-bridge". Zero emissions. Now my truck will not run. Even less emissions.
This is funny af
Hahahahaha
I literally lol’d 😂🤣😂
Fucking hilarious
I salute you.j
Yes, it may be illegal but every shop in New York will do a EGR delete for you and still let you pass inspection cause they know that EGR systems on diesels are bad for the engines.
Delete your comment. Please.
It's not the state you have to worry about. EPA Enforcement raided a local shop that was doing "deletes" and seized his customer records. He paid huge legal fees and a whopping fine. His customers were also notified of possible consequences. I don't need that drama.
The EPA nazis are out of touch and have way too much authority and were never intended to govern like they do…. So if they are gonna try to force the globe to go all electric tuned diesel engines shouldn’t be a concern…. I’m gonna delete mine cuz $100K truck and my money is paying for it I want it to not prematurely break over being compliant….
Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇸
Thanks
@@TruckMaster i was going to buy the sinister delete kit but they discontinued it. guess the epa is cracking down on manufactures
@@TruckMaster you got a link for your recommended full egr delete kit?
@@TruckMaster hello Mr
I want to order the EGR DELETE KIT ( not the cheap on ) exactly the one you use in this video
I have the 2011 CHEVY SILVERADO 6.6 DURAMAX 4X4
can you please send me a link to order it
thank you very much for your knowledge for helping all of us
It might be illegal but if you live in an area without mandatory inspections like I do you have nothing to worry about.
"It might be illegal to murder someone, but if you bury the body out in the woods you have nothing to worry about".
@@Ree1981tea, I mean ree, you don’t want to see the logic in this video. Why did you click to view this video?
Thanks for this. Just got into this myself and I think the most confusing part is that everywhere you try to find information on "EGR Delete" you find that the term is used for multiple solutions. Whether you are just installing block plates, disabling the EGR through tuning, or complete removal- the same term "EGR Delete" is used. And then trying to search for the correct parts makes it even more of a PITA.
So throw me a link for a 09 LMM Egr delete
Pretty decent explanation... Just inherited a VGC 2004.5 LLY with only 150k miles - I work on autos for a living but this is my first real dive into diesel. I think I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks for service my dude.
Thanks
When the weather gets warm again I'll be doing a full EGR delete on my LMM along with a PCV re-route kit, my truck won't fit in my garage haha.
What brand did you go with?
so glad i watched your videos before i did mine a year ago, after your y bridge leak, bellow leak etc. i went with the new y bridge. trouble free! one thing i did different was take off the up pipe and had friend cut off the EGR leg below the bellow and weld it shut. Happy veterans day and thanks for your service to this great nation!
Thanks
Hey
There is a cheaper option that doesn't risk reliability, for those on a budget. You can just delete the cooler and replace the up-pipe, but keep the stock charge pipe(block the EGR valve inlets) and y-bridge. As long as you keep the stock charge pipe the y-bridge will be supported so you don't have to worry about a blow out. The 2 keys with the EGR delete is really that you have to replace the passenger up-pipe (the bellows will blow out on the stock one if you block it with no cooler) and if you replace the charge pipe you have to replace the y-bridge (an aftermarket charge pipe does not have the support to keep from blowing out the stock y-bridge).
Maybe its too late to ask, but I have an 04 lb7. With this process I already have the right up-pipe correct? I just literally yank out the cooler and block the egr valve inlets?
@@ezequielhernandez5927 The federal emissions compliant LB7's don't have an EGR. If you have a California emissions compliant LB7 then I believe you'll need the same delete components as an LLY or LBZ. If you have an LB7 with EGR it's going to be the same delete process as a LLY or LBZ, to include the up pipe since that ties into the EGR.
@HWI I appreciate your reply, you are a real one. My lb7 has the idle "tick" and have read else where that a failing egr cooler is what does that. I went out to look at my truck and sho nuff it has the spray can looking cooler. So basically , my truck should be treated like the LLYs and up?
@@ezequielhernandez5927 yes exactly
Great information man! Juggling between tools and truck parts is hard when you showcase your awesome setup like that!
Thanks brother
Thank you for your service and keep the videos coming especially the DIY videos of Blue Biscuit.
Will do! I have a video I’m posting soon on that truck
Well dam!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!! You make it look too easy.
First, thank you for your service! Second, BIG thank you for for this video!! You answered all the questions I had about my lly!
Thanks! That’s awesome glad I could help
Thank you for ur service man. I will say that black tar from the egr took me 8 runs in the hot tank to get it out my intake runner s when I rebuilt my motor. Definitely deleted the egr I deleted mine 3 years before I pulled my motor out and when took apart was still so much black shit. And for people still running the stock y bridge a trick I learned is to get 2 new orings and get can of ur wifes Revlon aerosol hairspray and spray them down good and stick the pipe in fast. But like truck Master said aftermarket y bridge is the way to go if you have the money. Some thing else I did when installing my new up pipes is grind the welds on the passenger side stock up pipe bracket so u can use it when doing a aftermarket down pipe and use the stock bolt. Good video Truck Master
Very nice advice thanks for the input
I wanted to soft delete EGR on my 2018 Hyundai Accent (Verna in india) and ended up watching this whole video. Any pointers highly appreciated. Thanks!
No one talks about EGR only being on one side of the engine . has anyone ever wondered why it's okay for only one side of the engine be legal not the other side .
I found out the hard way going cheap on my egr delete for my powerstroke. I just blocked it off at the up pipe. After towing my 30ft camper to Tennessee from Pennsylvania I blew the bellows apart. I had a shop replace my up pipes and my exhaust manifolds that are for the 6.0. I have a 6.4 that move was the best thing I have done so far. Truck is so much more responsive
I too want to thank you for your service. And I also want to thank your family. My son in law just returned from his fifth and longest deployment yet. I',m very proud of him as well as my daughter and their four kids, 3 thru 11. I see the sacrifice first hand that our military families make.
I have an 07 LBZ in a one-ton dually with 344,000 miles. The turbo went out and while looking for videos on how to, I ran into your EGR delete videos and have since subscribed. I'm going to go for it. I have bought the y-bridge, intake pipe, turbo, up pipes, PCV relocate, the turbo elbow that deletes the resonator, a 4" Sinister exhaust system and a 3" MBRP down pipe. I already had an Edge monitor so I ordered the DSP5 tunes from PPEI by Kory Willis. Do you see any issues or have any advice on the install with that kind of milage. Also I am going to have the injectors rebuilt, if you have anything to advise as far as that goes. Thank you.
It sounds like you on the right track, I think once you get them rebuilt injectors in the truck it will be much better
I got my EGR out. I got the turbo, y-bridge, up pipes and down pipes put in this weekend. The passenger up pipe doesn't have the mounting ear for the 3" MBRP down pipe to bolt to at the bottom. Is that a problem? I don't know if that is too much stress on the turbo. Also do I need to put oil in the new turbo to prime it? One more question; The tunes from PPEI came in, do I need to go ahead and load them or wait til I get it up and started first. Thanks again!
It confuses me how the government says off-road diesels don’t need emissions but street trucks do, as if it still ain’t polluting the air 😂😂
Love the videos. Mine are work trucks so alot of these I can't do. I just need reliable. I don't know if putting a tune on a plow truck is smart. I have seen guys do it but usually ends up with failure. But maybe they didn't watch your videos.
What I did from the beginning was put the blocker plate and then installed a new up pipe at the same time and cut off the mounting flange for the egt bellows that hes talking about blowing off of the factory up pipe and then getting a tune. I've never have an issue in 100k miles
Learned something new today. Thank you!
Thanks
question for everybody
whats is better when doing this job
removing the entire cabin or work around all this pipes and lines
please I need some good tips
thank you everyone
Very helpful ,keep making these duramax videos
WOW, I'm amazed this is legal in the US, your standards are so much lower than here in the UK, if we do an EGR delete here it is illegal
i mean technically, this is also illegal. But screw it, 'Merica.
Great information and thank you for your service!🇺🇸
Thanks
Good information about egr. I don’t have to worry with it since I have a lb7 but still something good to know for in the future. Always enjoy to videos josh. Had to go back and watch your brake line video. I blew one of mine yesterday
Thanks! And that sucks man I’m sure you can fix it though
Thanks! And that sucks man I’m sure you can fix it though
Good thing about the lb7 is they don’t have any of the shit the newer ones do
I jut got an 03 lb7 and was surprised to find out that it doesn’t have egr.I thought all duramax’s had egr 🤦♂️, Now all I have to worry about is injectors.....fass lift pump here I come 😂
Only lb7 that have egr is the California models
GREAT VIDEO! I’m slacking when it comes to y bridge and up pipes
Really like the channel bro good content recently went through your archive and watched a bunch of videos before I bought a duramax Really made me feel comfortable going get this thing it's A 03 lb7 love it
You don't tell them that Y Bridge is no joke to change is a lot of work brother but you're right
Your right! I should have said that but I did a video on it
Truck Master that’s a pure business move, make em watch 3 videos, not 1. I respect it.
I don’t make any real money making videos I’m just trying to help folks out but your right it’s helpful for people to watch other videos I did to help them
Truck Master yea ik seems like it’s next to impossible to make money off UA-cam. Just keep doing your thing.
I'm assuming dpf removal would be the next step, I would imagine without an EGR your dpf filter clogs twice as fast. Of course now your sending all that soot to your exhaust where it belongs instead of the intake to your engine.
I wouldn't be surprised if this "emissions" nonsense is really just a money racket, those egrs and dpfs are expensive!
Thats ALL it is ! A money scam ! I remember taking my 73 LT camaro in for emissions in the early 80s . All stock small block but a q jet and headers . Waited in line for my turn . They rolled the LT in . Watched the guy slip a sensor in the tail pipe . Looks at the emission machine . Back over to my car . Back to the machine . Scratches his head . Back over to my LT . Back to the machine . Scratches his head some more . Pulled the sensor out of the tail pipe . Went back to the machine . Went back over to the LT . Reinserted sensors in the tail pipe . Back over to the machine . Scratches his head some more . Then he heads for me and says . Im really sorry but my machine must of just broke ! Your LT is barely registering on the machine . Took me over to the machine . Both needles were a quarter inch up off zero . The guy says usually the needles are 3/4 of the way maxed when im reading exhaust . Your LT is barely 5 % of the way up on the meter . Told him . I just tuned it up and jetted the carb for altitude ! You ll have to come back another day and ill get the machine looked at . Mmm ok . We ll wait a second he says . Pulled a rice grinder up next to the LT . Rice grinder has a EGR and cats . Stuck the sensor in the tail pipe of the rice grinder . Right away both needles almost pegged . Shit the machines working fine he says . Ive never seen a car burn that clean ! The whole emissions shit is just that , 💩 . Another way Cali figured they could generate more funds for there state ! And did like cali normally does and infected the rest of the planet with there stupidity !
Well done, what a great video!! Thanks. I'm purchasing a stock 2010 Chevrolet 2500. Gonna delete for sure.
What if you don't want a tune ? Will it just throw a check engine?
@Project Car Junkie what do you need to get tunes? I bought a lly with a bully dog and i am not sure of that is capable of turning off that egr delete
That's why I got a new up pipe that deleted that split piece of pipe that goes to the egr, no plate
The "ADDED PRESSURE" at the
block off plate HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH the flex joint cracking. ZERO! The exhaust will ALWAYS 100% of the time take the path of least resistance, for pressure to be added at that block off plate, the down stream exhaust would have to be obstructed at a rate that allows ZERO exhaust to escape the down stream system.
That being stated, if you want to avoid a crack in the flex joint, YOU MUST make a bracket that supports the leg and block of plate, it is vibration and heat cycles that cause that joint to crack, PRESSURE has nothing to do with it.
I cannot challenge you expertise in any facet of the Diesel world, no way, in fact I watch you videos to learn as I am now a diesel owner.
However when it comes to every facet of exhaust systems, I can as I operated a full service exhaust shop for decades and have dealt with and solved this issue many times with a simple support bracket. Again, Pressure at the block off plate has NOTHING to do with the flex joint cracking, just isolate it with a bracket that replaces the removed support the egr valve/cooler gave prior to removal.
God Bless & Semper Fi!
Thank you for the great information. Well done 👍🏻
You are awesome, great information wish we had a garage here to do this work
When you said really expensive i thought you were gonna say 6,000 i was about to forget about the delete haha
Transcooler to fuelcooler 😮 shit just installed a new fuel cooler great idea wist I'd know
😊
Fass EGR solutions created a EGR
Filter. Can you do a follow up video with your thoughts on if one should consider installing one or not?
I would Much Rather do an EGR DISABLE.
Remember that a full delete will not only cost a good chunk of change for extra parts, but an EFI TUNE as well… each to his own, but I have other things I could use said cash for other items 7:53 . (07 LBZ CCSB SLT)
Thank you for your service
mapped my egr out, car runs a lot better, much better fuel economy too
Of course when you Google an ERG Delete kit for a 2003 Duramax they do sell one.. That's because CA Models have EGR but not the rest of the LB7's too bad no one can ever be specific .. Thus I had to waste 15 minutes to figure out for myself..
only cali emision LB7 dmax have egr and egr cooler. it located right need to the turbo on the left/pass side. it is i silverish collor about 10" long that runs from the exhaust up on hte pass side to the intake manifold. just under the intak pipe form the intercooler goes into the engine
Great video next time mine go out it is going
I've got a 2020 Sierra 2500 Diesel Denali. Dealer destroyed the engine at 54k miles. They replaced the engine under warranty. I now have 84k on it and the check engine light came on. OBD2 tool shows EGR permanent codes. Truck has been losing coolant. Thinking I should trade it in before I have more issues...
Great video brother. I'm new to the Duramax family. I have the LLY. New subscriber.
Thank you truck master that was very informative
It’s funny how it’s legal for off-road use only so it doesn’t hurt then environment when you stay off the road hahaha our government is ridiculous
I just pulled my heads of my LLY. 230k, bone stock with EGR. Boy was that a scary site. Chunked up all over the runners and on the valves too.
That’s crazy
Hey bro I’d run a baldwin fuel filter next service it should save you a buck and match charge pipes. Happy holidays to you and the fam
Great vid, I'm going to start a GoFundMe account!
Good luck man 👍
The answer is yes.
I haven't done the delete yet I am considering it but I really appreciate the information
I would do it
Fuck you got me hooked up diesel. I dont have a pick up yet but I want a duramax now. Nice videos
Did I hear you say the LB7 does NOT need to do an EGR delete? cause there is not and EGR on my LB7
I was wondering the same thing.. i have a 2002
california models do have egr
but they are detuned as well
thanks for the info! helped a ton
Great video best explanation of a lot of videos
Thanks
I wonder what that's going to do when you take it to the smog check station in California🤣🤣
I was just talking to one of my Buddies to do the EGR delete on his truck. He has a 2009 and here in Alberta, we don't have to worry about the climate change police. HAHA. Thanks for the video. Thank you for your service.
I really appreciate your how to vidja's. What brand are those two mirror's?
Good video. So basically go big or go home? Makes sense not to cheap out. Need to ask the boss for a raise though.. 😕
Lol yep 👍
Now once you have the full egr deleted how do you go about getting an inspection on the truck. That is my biggest question/concern because $1200 is not cheap.
not sure where you live but when i lived in San Diego, go to a little hole in the wall smog test shop i slipped the guy an extra 600$ to "pass on paper"
PPWNAGEE i need the plug
I have an Express van with a duramax and I haven't found a charge pipe that would work in the van. I don't think anyone makes one for the vans. You also didn't mention anything about deleting the heater that's in the factory charge pipe.
Your right but I know the vans has a one piece ybridge but not to sure about the cold side I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit I would call a diesel performance company on that question
@@TruckMaster I have a Duramax van as well. Do you have any van videos in the works?
I have a lbz van with a tune also!!! Want to work on it ? Should I donate it to truck master ?
I have a exhaust, tune, and 490k miles on it!
I'm having a hard time trying to find a mechanic to put my lift pump on my truck been following you for a while want to do the delete EGR Delete and I want to put a lift pump on my LLY but here in Connecticut I cannot find a mechanic
What do you think about bullet proof diesel saying you need an egr.
So all i particularly need is y bridge, charge pipe, and lb7 up pipe
Nor did he talk about DEF and SCR .. The least he could do is mention what years the version of the Duramax he was talking about was used in pickups in the USA
I got my 6.0 studded cat delete egr delete went in to my machanic i had a turbo o ring leaking. Machanic said he always can tell when someone has egr delete. Just by the sound. Does that tell u enough.if u want an extra 100000 miles delete it
I think the main reason to do this is if you have an old car with clogged egr and want a easier to work on engine, with newer vehicles there should be a wire you could disconnect but egr is only used during part throttle when cruising where it fills the cylinder with half inert gas which has the same effect as making the engine use the same amount of fuel as an engine with half the capacity, this is according to my service manual.
Aloha I live in Hawaii and I just bought a 2007 LBZ Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax.
We don’t have anything here in Hawaii that says we cannot do any EGR deletes to our trucks emissions or anything like that so I’m interested if there’s any companies out there where I can still do it the right way by buying a EGR delete kit
Good video. I wish my RAM only had the few pieces(if you remove all the parts) like the Duramax.
Hi love video I just got me 04 lb7 and like to if u can do a video about use properly ur 4x4 Thkz
Can I do the egr delete without replacing the cold side intake tube and Y bridge? Could I leave that stock and just do the upgraded up pipes and the 1/2 inch hose?
Very very informative thank u for the video!! Ive done quite a bit of research myself and im definitely not gonna skimp on the EGR delete kit and this video definitely confirms that. I want my truck to breath and run the best it can so thanks again brother!! (CodyLadd)
No problem thanks
Thanks for another great vid. Looks like for my bone stock 06 LLY (LBZ...? ha) the WCFAB y bridge kit, a new exhaust, an LB7 uppipe is what i'll need for my egr delete?
Is it to late to delete an egr with 382000 miles on it 😅
Can’t find a half decent passenger cold side pipe for lbz, dose lly passenger side cold pipe ( y-bridge to radiator ) fit the lbz because the y bridge kit for lbz has first section only where it hooked up to egr valve.
So how am I supposed to get this set up now??
EGR delete is no longer illegal as they are not used anymore.
I just got my first diesel truck ever. An 07 duramax w/ 180k miles. Engine is all stock but I’ve been researching that an EGR delete is a must do. What all do I need? Thank you in advance.
I have a 08 lmm Duramax need a tuner for my truck thats fully deleted I called various companies and was told they don't sell tuners for fully delete vehicles
Thanks for the video. Once all this is done will I get a check engine light?
Can you give me a parts list from start to finish on a egr delete intake exhaust not going cheap rout an can't really find the kit for and lmm so I figure get parts individually
Why did they put it on the tail of the exhaust pipe with a heating something that heat up
I have a first generation Durumax LB7 does that mean I don't need to do an EGR delete?
Only CA version LB7’s have EGR.
Also on my truck I can stick tune and turn egr code off, sct x4
One thing I've noticed with all the kits, you can buy an upgraded cold pipe, comes with 2 new couplings and hose, but the y bridge and cold pipe kit doesn't give you a new coupling, any idea why? Seems like a waste to not upgrade the coupling also...
Ive hated EGR valves ever since they came out.
I'm in Michigan also and love the videos!!! Picking up a cclb drw 4x4 lbz tomorrow for 5700$ has new turbo and injectors ! What do you think?
**FBI wants to know your location**
If u do t mind the check engine light u don’t have to tune
thank you for the very helpful videos. Im a bit green on this: i have a 2010 LMM and bought a WC fab kit with y bridge/ LB7 up-pipe and MBRP downpipe. been an uphill battle to this point, but got it tore down. my question is this: looks like the throttle assembly is attached to the egr. and there is no apparent way to connect it to the new set up. what am i missing? thanks
The LBZ up pipe fits the LMM? Just researching
It’s ok having an egr if the manufacturers don’t make money on the egr when it clogs up with carbon . So why don’t the manufacturers delete the egr and just remap the cars . I’ve had my Vw passat egr deleted today from my car and I’ve had a stage 1 remap now the garage have said my engine now runs cleaner and more efficient. My egr to replace in the uk is £1100 and this will happen every so many years and the delete and remap is £350
I hear this isn’t necessary on the lmls let me know what you think?
I got 2016 lml Silverado its much better after i deleted the egr and def junk with ppei tuner but im still using the oem y bridge and up-pipe with the dxp heavy duty block plates since im a disabled till i cant get money fer a actuall straight SS up-pipe and a better y-bridge but took my awhile (3days) to get that egr shit cause had no garage to do this and was nearly 100 degrees out that week but got it running a week later ever since my egr crossover pipe bellow blew apart and had hot exhaust leak blowing on my fuel primin bowl
Not sure who told you that but it’s always a good thing to delete the Egr on a lml
I deleted mine off my lml and dpf got rid of the tank and everything went with the efi live tuner didnt replace y bridge cause it solid piece like truckmaster said it just has a blocking plate for it....only trouble i had the ppl sent me wrong up pipe so it sound like exhaust leak after they sent me new pipe no problems and just for all that i spend around 2k they tuner is most expensive item
Dwarf Zerker I really wanted to do it. But alligator performance said lml didn’t need it only lmms and older. Although now when I see a true deleted lml it sounds different then mine? Is this your experience? Or does it run better too? The sound is much more crisp I guess.
Truck Master Alligator performanc. Told me it was a waste of money and time. Unless you have a lmm or older. My lml is tuned 5in lift pump a and b intake. And that’s it but I don’t even have blocked plates. Nothing just deleted with the tuner and of coarse unplugged what needed to be.
Hello
Could you do a video on a good transmission cooler Thanks
I will but not anytime soon unfortunately
allison tranny coolers are not rocket science ... mine is a o5 and still has the factory one but aftermarket ones are not hard to install
So only an LB7 up-pipe is required to do the EGR delete without the crappy blocker plate system? I bought an lbz and the current delete has blown open at the bellows.
The problem isnt the EGR the problem is the PCV setup. Re-rought it and it will not gum up. I just got done cleaning mine and did a PCV re-rought.
What about the check engine light you just set tube it ?
Why can’t you put a blocker plate between the manifold and the up pipe then there won’t be a bellow problem, I’m new at this just asking
