EGR Delete Kits for Powerstroke, Cummins & Duramax

What Is an EGR Delete and Why Do You Need It?

An EGR delete involves removing the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve and cooler to prevent hot, soot-filled exhaust from re-entering your engine. Factory systems often fail, leading to "Check Engine" lights and common error codes like P0401 (Insufficient Flow), P0403, and P0404.

Installing a premium EGR delete kit eliminates these risks. By stopping soot accumulation in the intake manifold, our diesel delete kit solutions provide cooler exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), improved throttle response, and cleaner engine oil.

Performance Gains: Expect a 20-30 HP increase and a 2-4 MPG improvement. This is the ultimate reliability upgrade for towing, hauling, or competition use.

Compatibility: Find Your Specific EGR Delete Kit

We stock precision CNC-machined diesel delete kits for the most popular American diesel trucks. Select your engine below:

1. Ford Powerstroke & Classic Engine Solutions

From modern diesels to classic OBS trucks, we stock the most comprehensive lineup of Ford delete solutions.

Find the perfect match for your engine:

• 6.7L Powerstroke (2011-2019): The factory cooler on the 6.7L is prone to soot clogging, limiting performance. Our egr delete kit 6.7 Powerstroke is essential for unleashing reliability and flow for your Super Duty.
• 6.4L Powerstroke (2008-2010): Known for poor fuel economy and radiator issues. Installing a diesel EGR delete on the 6.4L significantly lowers engine temperatures and extends engine life.
• 6.0L Powerstroke (2003-2007): The 6.0L engine is notorious for oil cooler failures caused by the EGR system. Our best-selling 6.0 Powerstroke EGR delete kit (fits F250/F350/F450/F550) completely resolves this bottleneck. We also stock the 6.0 EGR delete kit with high-flow intake elbows.
• 7.3L Powerstroke (1999-2003): Optimize your legendary 7.3L with our pedestal and exhaust back pressure (EBPV) delete solutions to improve turbo spool and exhaust flow.
• Classic Ford Gas & Diesel (1986-1996): We haven't forgotten the classics. We offer delete kits and block off plate kits for 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L, and 7.5L engines EGR deleting or EGR blanking to clean up the engine bay and simplify vacuum routing.

2. Ram Cummins Diesel Delete Kits

Unlock the reliability of your inline-6 engine. We offer the 5.9L Cummins kit (2003-2007) and the 6.7L Cummins EGR kit (2007.5+) to prevent turbo fouling and soot ingestion.

3. Chevy/GMC Duramax Options

From the classic LB7 to the modern L5P, our Duramax EGR delete kit options are designed for a perfect fit without fabrication.

• Covers: LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML, L5P engines.

Frequently Asked Questions About EGR Deletes

Q: Is an EGR delete good for the engine?

A: Absolutely. Installing a diesel EGR delete is one of the best ways to extend the life of your truck. By stopping exhaust soot from re-entering the intake, you keep your engine oil cleaner for longer, lower engine coolant temperatures, and prevent the carbon buildup that leads to blown head gaskets on engines like the 6.0 Powerstroke.

Q: Does an EGR delete increase HP?

A: Yes. An EGR delete restores clean, oxygen-rich air to the engine that was previously displaced by hot exhaust gas. While the primary goal is reliability, you will see improved throttle response and increased horsepower/torque. For maximum gains, combine our EGR kit with a proper race tuner.

Q: What are the main benefits of a diesel delete kit?

A: A diesel delete kit significantly lowers engine operating temperatures, prevents carbon buildup in the intake, and eliminates the risk of EGR cooler leaks. Most drivers also report better fuel economy (MPG) and increased turbo spool speed.

Q: Will a 6.0 Powerstroke EGR delete kit fit a 6.4L engine?

A: No. EGR systems are engine-specific. You must choose the correct EGR delete kit for your specific Year, Make, and Model. A 6.0 egr delete kit is not compatible with 6.4L or 6.7L engines.

Q: Are there different EGR kits for different engine models and years?

A: Yes, we offer tailored kits for various engines and years, including Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax. Just match your model to find the right kit.

Q: Does installing an EGR kit require a tuner?

A: Yes. When you install an EGR delete, the ECU will detect missing components and throw a check engine light. You will need a race tuner (ECU programmer) to disable the EGR system sensors and optimize the engine for the new parts.

Q: How difficult is it to install my diesel EGR delete?

A: Installation is fairly easy for DIYers with basic skills. If unsure, a professional mechanic can help. No special tools needed.

Q: How long does it take to install an EGR delete kit?

A: Installation times vary. A basic Duramax EGR delete kit might take 2-4 hours, while more complex systems like the 6.4L Powerstroke can take 6-8 hours. We recommend professional installation for the best results.

Q: What happens if I delete EGR without deleting DPF?

A: We strongly advise against this. If you install an EGR delete kit but leave the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) in place, the DPF will clog very quickly.

Without the EGR system to manage combustion temperatures, the DPF cannot regenerate properly, resulting in excessive backpressure and potential turbocharger failure. Most competition builds use full diesel delete kits to address both systems simultaneously.

Q: Are EGR deletes still illegal?

A: EGR delete kits are sold strictly for Off-Road and Competition Use Only (e.g., drag racing, sled pulling). Removing emissions equipment on a street-driven vehicle violates the Clean Air Act in the USA. We recommend consulting your local laws before modification.

Q: Will installing an EGR delete kit void my vehicle warranty?

A: It may, as EGR deletions can affect emissions and powertrain components. Check your warranty details or consult your dealer before installing.

Q: How do I maintain my engine after installing EGR delete kits?

A: Maintenance becomes simpler and cheaper. Follow your regular maintenance schedule, which includes oil changes, air filter checks, and fuel system cleanings. Without EGR, carbon buildup is reduced, extending component life.
