Mdub I've read post about the banjo bolt and seen you replied to the post so you've never heard of it huh?

 

Never heard of what? The banjo bolt mod? Of course I've heard of it. Did it a while ago and ended up pulling the bolts out of mine for check valves with my vegistroke. I might have overlooked it. I spend too much time on too many forums reading too many things.

There is no way in hell anyone is getting 60 ft/lbs from an EGR delete. NOT happening. If it happened, post the dyno, I'd love to see it.

 

No not 60 tourqe off egr delete I was talking bout the banjo bolt

 

Strictly diesel says there are four of these, I have only seen the ones on the front of the heads. Are there two more on the back side? That would suck to change those out if there were.

 

banjo bolt mod what is it?

 

You replace your front banjo bolts on each side of the front of your motor with banjo bolts from a 6.4. 6.0s come with a banjo bolt with a check valve in them and smaller and fewer holes. The 6.4 has no check valve, more holes and they are bigger allowing more fuel. Im just going with what ive read but the two on the front are the only ones you replace. The ones on the back are just plugs. And I never heard of it increasing torque? I just did it because its supposed to increase fuel pressure in order to help save injectors. Im new to diesels but im slowly becoming a diesel mechanic thanks to owning a 6.0.

 

My buddy said they gave it 60 more tourqe numbers I dunmo he bought a 6.0 new in 03 loved it so much he bought 4 more he has a 03 dually 04 Harley 04 lariat and a 05 lifted 10 inch on 40s he does all his work him self and he's a damn good mechanic he said something aboit it so where gonna try it on my truck since his is already done I'm gonna try to dyno it to see if the numbers are true

 

So how do these 6.4 banjo bolts compare to the orfices in the Strictly Diesel banjo bolts? Their website has side by side comparisons with thiers and OEM 6.0 units. For $50/pr, they look to be a pretty good deal. They look like they would be a good companion to the stiffer spring that I bought from Thoroughbred Diesel.

 

Karl, you can buy the same bolts on ebay for like $25 shipped...

Stock 6.0 bolts < 6.4 bolts < ebay bolts. I don't really think any of them are that restrictive. The 6.4 bolts should suffice for 90% of the guys out there.

 

For a novice (ME) when it comes to diesels how hard of a job is it to do the EGR delete and are there any special/specific tools required? I have worked on gas jobs over the years but no real rebuilds.

When doing the EGR delete did you run into any surprises?

Did you combine the delete with any other mods that would have you required to duplicate the labor of doing the EGR?

Sorry for all of the questions but I'm positively in the beginning learning stage

Okay - was just checking BulletProof's web page and they talk about the EGR delete vs the EGR Cooler - supposedly the delete is for off road use only.

Is everybody here doing the actual delete or doing the COOLER?
