Why not just go to the auto parts store and buy the freeze plugs for $0.50 a piece? Seems like $150 is a little steep for some freeze plugs...

 

Bigman, $150 is the cost of a cheap Actual delete kit. with the cooler deleted, new up pipe, and valve plate

 

Why not just use this
6.0L FORD UNF DIESEL EGR VALVE DELETE KIT - eBay (item 280584225794 end time Mar-03-11 05:45:33 PST)

 

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, but that up-pipe pictured looks like a straight piece of tube... that would never mount up. The up-pipe has a slight bend in it.

 

hah yea it does look straight but he has sold over 150 of them and got great feedback. probley just the pic

 

More than likely you're right. I suppose a quick email wouldn't hurt. I wonder what material his up-pipe is...

 

I wish, remember this is for a stealth kit for the poor folks that live in Ca. also in the kit is the intake gaskets, turbo mounting kit and gaskets, it has every part that is needed to block off the cooler on both sides, you can have a blown cooler and still use this kit. No it does not have the new up pipe, you don't need that to do the block off, if you remove the coole all the way as with some kits then you will need it....The whole point of this thread is how to block off the egr without the GOV. knowing that it aint doin squat, the valve stays in but the cooler is blocked off with a solid gasket and plate on intake side and plug on exhaust side so the cooler can be attached to the up-pipe but id does nothing///sorry I didn't explain more about the kit in my first post

This is a block off, not delete, remember this thread is about Ca. smog check, if they pop hood and see egr cooler and valve gone it could cost him alot of $$

 

does anyone have any experiance dealing with the check engine light with a delete?? i think the stealth delete with stock parts is the smartest way but im still on the fence. the bullet proof egr cooler is legal but you still get exhaust routed through the intake which causes problems of its own..

 

I understand exactly what you're talking about. You can still buy the freeze plugs for less than $1, weld those into the cooler and the other gaskets you're talking about are right on ebay in separate auctions at a fraction of the price. Again, no need to spend $150 on that kit. You can get the intake gaskets for under $60 and the turbo mounting hardware/gaskets are about $8. Just an FYI. If you would rather spend more and get it all in one stop, that's up to you, just wanted to make you aware!

You'll need a custom tuned SCT to get rid of the light. Most 03/04 trucks don't get the light, most 05-07 trucks DO, but I've seen some cases on both sides that were just the opposite. My good buddy had an 04 that set the light off.

 

thanks for the heads up, wish I found that out about 4 months ago when I did 5 of them in 2 weeks for the family//meaning freebees
