Why an EGR Delete...
May 07, 2025
If you own a 6.0L Powerstroke (2003-2007), you’re likely familiar with:
✔ Overheating issues (EGR clogs restrict coolant flow)
✔ Frequent oil cooler failures (caused by excessive heat)
✔ White smoke & coolant loss (failed EGR cooler leaks)
✔ Reduced power & MPG (carbon buildup chokes the engine)
The factory Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is the root cause of most 6.0L failures—and deleting it is the best upgrade you can make.
The EGR cooler is prone to cracking, leaking coolant into the exhaust or cylinders.
Coolant loss leads to overheating, which warps heads and blows head gaskets.
A delete kit eliminates the weak cooler, preventing these catastrophic failures.
Recirculating hot exhaust gases overworks the oil cooler.
Deleting the EGR lowers engine temps by 10-15°F, extending oil life.
Carbon buildup from the EGR clogs the intake manifold and valves.
A delete cleans up airflow, restoring 20-30+ HP and improving turbo spool.
Less soot recirculation = 1-3 MPG gain (no more choked combustion).
Our high-quality CNC-machined delete kit ensures:
✅ No more coolant leaks – Eliminates the failure-prone EGR cooler
✅ Billet aluminum construction – Won’t warp like cheap steel kits
✅ Easy bolt-on installation – No welding required
✅ Compatible with stock or tuned trucks
Option | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
EGR Delete | Stops all EGR-related failures, improves power/MPG | Not emissions-legal (off-road only) |
Upgraded EGR Cooler | Keeps emissions compliance | Still clogs over time, doesn’t fix root issues |
Verdict: If you don’t need emissions testing, a full delete is the best long-term solution.
EPA fines up to $4,500 for tampering with emissions (enforcement varies by state).
Some states (CA, NY, PA) will fail inspections without an EGR system.
Resale value may drop if selling to dealerships or in strict states.
Alternative: A "stealth" tune can disable EGR function while keeping the hardware intact.
Don’t wait until your EGR cooler fails and takes the engine with it.

❓ Will an EGR delete cause a check engine light?
Yes, unless you use a tuner to disable it (we recommend SCT or H&S).
❓ Can I pass emissions with a delete?
No—this is for off-road use only. Check your local laws.
❓ How hard is installation?
Most mechanics can do it in 2-3 hours; DIY-friendly with basic tools.
