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.

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.

[neonnerd]

It might be illegal but if you live in an area without mandatory inspections like I do you have nothing to worry about.

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 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!

Egr is not to reburn the exhaust gasses to make the exhaust cleaner. Egr is used to reduce combustion temperatures. By introducing a limited volume of an inert gas into the combustion chamber it reduces oxcides of nitrogen or nitrous oxide emissions. The problems that come with egr, especially with diesel engines is the intake system contaminations from those exhaust gasses.

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.

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).

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.

[RustbeltMechanic]

Great information man! Juggling between tools and truck parts is hard when you showcase your awesome setup like that!

[russellrichards]

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.

First, thank you for your service! Second, BIG thank you for for this video!! You answered all the questions I had about my lly!

[edwardmak]

Thank you for your service and keep the videos coming especially the DIY videos of Blue Biscuit.

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

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 .

[Sleeperknot]

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!

[keithkevin]

Well done, what a great video!! Thanks. I'm purchasing a stock 2010 Chevrolet 2500. Gonna delete for sure.

[BERTRANDO]

GREAT VIDEO! I’m slacking when it comes to y bridge and up pipes

[davidviner]

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

[jasonscruggs]

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
