can u blok off an egr vavle on a 6.0
#11
Using my EGT gauge as a reference I drove the truck as normal to work, when I arrived I popped the hood to check the radiator temps. I then drove off again coming back to park and I checked the EGR cooler (not an easy target). I then drove off again to check the EGT gauge by targeting the manifold.
All this being said the EGR cooler was within 10* of the radiator and the manifold was within reasonable range (20-30*) of the EGT gauge. Being that the EGTs were over 350* when I stopped I expected to see the EGR cooler in the 200+* range and it wasn't.
Running a "sneaky pipe" myself with the EGR tuned out, I think the idea that there is a HUGE amount of heat transfer is just bunk. If you a sled pulling or racing there may be a higher transfer but I just don't think it happens to the extent people want to believe for us simple HP junkies.

I don't know all the specifics, science, or data behind it all. I just know that over on the other forum site I am on they say that it's more beneficial to do a full EGR delete instead of just an EGR blockoff. I haven't done research on it cause I'm not ready to do it. The guys talkin about it are pretty firm though in what they are saying about it.
