I second deleting at occurrence of exhaust issues. I ran stage one for 12-15k. Had an emissions code from truck sitting for nearly 6 months. Deleted code twice and it continued to reoccur so I was able to remove the dpf and scr and click stage two and be done. Glad I purchased both stages as a...
FYI, I chose to buy both stage 1 and 2 tunes. Once you have them, and don’t conform to recall flashes at the dealer, they’re good forever. Thinking was, run stage one till I had dpf, scr problems, once those occurred I switched to stage 2.
So, to remove any part of the egr, you’ll need a tune. There’s two stages of tuning, stage 1 turns off the egr and allows for its removal, a stage 2 tune requires full exhaust removal and turns off the egr and allows for its removal and is considered “off road only”
Stage 1 egr delete is the removal of the diffuser tube( from egr to intake)
stage 2 is physically removing egr, installing block off plates on intake and exhaust, and installing a coupling in the coolant hose to complete the loop that used to go through the egr.
Used one to delete egr tube. Never got around to using the rest of the kit yet lol works fine for that aspect of it but I haven’t found time to completely remove the egr.
Welcome to the forum! Sorry it’s under the given circumstances. Burning ecos are nothing new, but the fact that the new and improved egr still can lead to issues is deffinately a concern. Sorry to hear about your experience with your truck! Please keep us posted with the investigation findings!
Sorry for the confusion,
I should have rephrased that. What I was trying to say was you need a tune to remove the egr. His tune to the best of my knowledge keeps egr active but it allows you to unplug it.
my understanding from Jimmy back last November or December, even though I selected that I...
I got mine last November and ran stage one for 15k all with egr unplugged. Jimmy told me to either leave them both connected or disconnected. If you unplug one but not the other the engine will slightly surge
Sofa keeps egr active unless you need a tune to remove it. The egr will function unless completely unplugged. My monitor showed egr operational until unplugged
