Hi all, I am having my pcm tuned by wait4me till I get my own tuning program, and was curious about something. I have a 99 pickup, but the PCM I ended up sending him was a 2001. Do the 2001 trucks have egr? If not, then I can just remove it from my truck and block off the ports, right! Thanks!!

 

If you do remove it you need to let your tuner know so he can make sure it's disabled

 

Should have just got the new pcm too, I think he sends the 02. I'm pretty sure thats the year they upgraded. Btw I had him turn mine off and no probs.

 

01's have the egr... have him delete it... you will need to get a block off plate for the headers and than take that entire egr assembly off and block off the hole at the intake manifold with this part number (12558346) from gmpartsdirect.com

 

thanks guys!!!

 

The 01 Do Have Egr Just Remove It From Pcm

 

Well, the part number for the 99/00 PCM's are different from the 01/02 pcms. The 01/02 Pcms carry the same part number, so I figured they changed in 01.....correct me if I'm wrong??

 

What happens if you have them turned off and dont remove it?

 

my guess woul dbe dead weight?!? The Pcm pin for activation of the EGR would not be functional, so it wouldnt do anything.......right....?

 

the EGR delete plate from gmparts direct is a JOKE part is $9.76 great but shipping is another $9.95 which brings the total to $20.39!!!!!! When you can buy it from the dealer for $17.12
