just trying to get an idea on what ppl thing about egr

 

I would recommend restricting it instead of deleting it entirely. You will get most of the benefits and no codes.

 

id delete it , it makes the engine bay look cleaner and if you get a custom tune, you can get the egr deleted so it wont throw a code

 

delete that crap. The newer trucks dont have it and it just throws junk into your motor.

 

The egr solenoid is only supposed to open when cruising. It lets exhaust gas into the intake which displaces oxygen thus combustion is cooler and produces less polution. It does adversely effect mileage slightly. If the valve sticks open, idle and WOT suffer. If you remove it and you're smog tested it'll fail. I've heard of restricting it with a plate to a 1/8" hole and gradually making it bigger until the CES no longer trips (time consumming).

 

thanks. dont have to worry about smog test though. so AintNoHo why didnt you vote

 

to the top. i would like to get 20 votes and then ill do what ever gets the highest vote.

 

I live in a state and county that is rabid about smog and engine mod prosecution; therefore, I would never admit to or advise to circumventing smog laws. I see noooothiiiiiiing. Yet Mexico is 20 miles away with no smog laws and their cars and trucks drive through here with complete immunity.

 

What's different an the new trucks without EGR and they pass emissions? Or do the Cal. trucks have EGR?

 

I am gonna do my EGR and Cats in the future sometime as a package deal. I will probably get a tune from Wait4me first. I more/less want to pick up mpg. My last numbers were 23.5mpg half highway at 120km/h and half city driving.

I have a question, when dodge trucks report the mpg, is it in Imperial or US gallons? Cause we once test drove a 2005 hemi ram and it was registering 13.3mpg at 100km/h on no wind, on cruise control, on flat land. And my friends 2003 Cummins 3/4ton in the same conditions reported 22mpg!
