04 egr help

[agamache]

I have an 04 powerstroke and I was wondring if I could just put a block plate in my up pipe to stop exhaust from entering the egr and unplugg my egr valve without throwing a code. I still have some warrenty left and I don't want to do an egr delete just yet. Any help would be great and thanks for the addvice

An easy way to find out is to just unplug the EGR. I have an 04 and my throws a check engine light. My buddies 04, doesn't.... Go figure

If it doesn't throw a code would the block plate work until i can do a full delete

a block off plate at the up pipe will help, until you can do it right..

Some will throw a code regardless if you do a full delete or just block it off. Ive seen both in alot of customers trucks I have done.

He has an 04. Block off plate is really all he needs. There is no scope in the 03/04 up-pipes.

Thanks for the help. I will plug the egr valve and see if it throws a code or cel. If not I will get a block plate for now. One other question. I have heard that when u block it off boost pressure can push the egr valve open and air will enter the egr cooler. I personaly don't see this as a problem except for the loss of boost. Any opinions

I'll tell you after deleting the EGR system this weekend, this morning was the first morning in years that I had no white smoke on startup. This is with a street tune also...

The EGR cooler attaches to the up-pipe just off to the lower left of the passengers side intake manifold in the valley.

 

[agamache]

is it possible to put the bloke off plate in through the passenger side fender well

 

[hpprose]

I think it depends on what kit you go with
