Default EGR Delete

Hello Gents,

I'm helping a buddy out and he has a 2006 6.0L with around 30,000miles on it no engine or transmission mods. It's completely stock.

He wants to purchase and install the sinister diesel EGR delete kit Sinister | SIN-SMC-EGRD-6.0 | Sinister Diesel EGR Valve/Cooler Delete For 6.0L Ford - Alligator Performance

What I want to know is,

Does this kit throw an engine code/check engine light?

If it does, will the truck run normal or run in limp mode?

will a tuner fix the check engine light and codes or what do I have to do?

those ones should get the check engine light and yes a tuner will turn it off. another option is a bulletproof egr cooler. It retains your emissions compliance while being a much better unit than factory. Just another option to throw into the ring

Any EGR delete used on a 2006 will throw a CEL or code. A tuner will not "fix" a CEL. Your best option is to use a custom SCT tune to prevent the CEL. I don't recall all the tuners on the market and their functions. You may need to research other brands to see if those will work.

I have a hypertech tuner and it will not let you get rid of egrs or a non vgt turbo. Go with the sct

I've recommended doing the bulletproof egr but my buddy wants the delete.

Thanks for your input guys good things to think about. I'll be helping do the delete in a few weeks so I'm hoping everything goes smoothly.
