"EGR Delete" Kit Solves Powerstroke Problems
 ✖  |
If you have a Ford 6.0L Powerstroke and you’ve had EGR cooler problems, Performance Machine & Mfg. says it has the solution. And if you haven’t had EGR problems yet, you will, suggests Matt Henderson, Performance Machine & Mfg. Either way, the solution is the company’s EGR Delete Kit.
“With a few modifications, these can be great trucks,” says Henderson. “They have coolers and valves that just go bad sporadically. There is nothing maintenance can do. The only fix is to remove it from the truck, which is legal in all states but Calif.”
Henderson first ran into the problem working with the diesel trucks that carried his race cars to the track. Excessive heat passing through the EGR cooler can crack it, and the cylinders fill up with coolant, which has to go somewhere.
“It can end up breaching between head gaskets,” explains Henderson. “In some trucks it can break rods and destroy the engine.”
When he didn’t find any true fixes to the EGR cooler, he engineered around the problem. The EGR Delete Kit makes it possible to remove the cooler while rerouting the coolant.
“Pulling a cooler out is not a problem with our kit,” says Henderson. “We have dealers who can do it, but anyone with experience working on a tractor or truck can do it with our instructions.”
Since he came out with his EGR Delete Kit, he admits several others have also been introduced. However, he says, other kits don’t include oil filter housing gaskets and O-rings and a fuel injector O-ring kit for all 8 injectors. Henderson says his kit does more than simply eliminate a problem.
“Trucks will still pass the smog test without the cooler, and you can usually expect a 1 1/2 mpg increase in efficiency,” says Henderson. “If you add the tuner we sell on our website, you can get four to five more miles per gallon.”
Henderson says the kit is designed for the Powerstrokes where the problem was most common - the 2003 to 2007 F250, 350, 450 and 550 models with 6.0L engines. He adds that a similar problem has shown up with Dodge 2500 and 3500 trucks in model years 2007 through 2011. He has introduced a kit for them as well as a kit for 2008 to 2012 Fords.
The complete EGR Delete Kit starts at $259.95. The recommended tuner is priced at $379.99. The company makes and markets a variety of other performance enhancing kits and products.
