Yes, use penetrating oil and let it soak for a bit before attempting to remove it. Patience is key here!

Haha, who knew EGR deletes could be so thrilling? It’s like a surgery on your truck. Anyone got graphic stories to share?
I once dropped a bolt into the intake manifold. Lesson learned: use a magnet to hold the bolts steady!
Definitely a suspenseful process! As for compliance, are there regulations we should be aware of when doing an EGR delete?
Great question! Depending on where you live, deleting the EGR may affect emissions compliance. Always check local laws before proceeding.
I recently did an EGR delete on my 6.0, and the difference in power is astonishing! I experienced noticeable throttle response improvements. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for performance gains.
That sounds amazing! I’m considering it, but how has it affected your fuel efficiency?
Fuel efficiency has improved for me! I went from around 15 MPG to about 18 MPG on the highway after the EGR delete. It’s not just about power; it’s about savings too!
This is great news! Did you notice any changes in your emissions output as well?
It does reduce emissions significantly! Especially if you combine it with a really good tune. I had my emissions testing done, and I passed without any issues post-delete.

That’s reassuring! I was worried about the legality and emissions regulations.
Definitely check local laws! While some regions are stricter, others are more lenient. It’s always better to be informed before making a decision.
After the delete, my truck feels like a whole new beast—just make sure to monitor the EGTs. I had a slight increase in temperatures, but it’s manageable with a good tune.

Are there specific tunes you’d recommend for optimizing performance after an EGR delete?
I use H&S and love it! Great throttle response and noticeable power gains. I’ve even had a few laughs seeing my buddies’ faces when they drive my truck!
That’s hilarious! It’s great to hear real-world experiences. Anyone had troubles with DTCs after removing the EGR system?
I had a few codes pop up initially, but they cleared after I did the tuning. Just make sure to have a good scanner handy!
