Great video man. Going to finally take my cooler out and put th3 coolant blockoff plate on when I do a coolant flush soon here. I did the two small blockoff plates when I removed the dpf and got a tuner a couple years ago. Snapped one of the exhaust manifold bolts and had to drill and tap it to get the plate on. Your video was calm and thorough and that helps me fully grasp the process. Fully confident in getting this done now.
Big thanks for this video!! Helped me out a ton. I was able to do it myself with a little help from my family. My 19 f250 def system took a dump on me at 96k miles. Luckily I had everything ready to install before hand but was apprehensive I was capable enough to do it myself. I went for it and wished I did it sooner!
I'm strongly thinking of switching to diesel I currently have 2013 Chevrolet 2500HD gas burner it has done excellent only did throttle body spacer with aftermarket exhaust but thinking about getting Ford F-250 6.7L powerstroke. So, a little new to the Diesel truck but luckily I grew up working on gas and diesel trucks. This video helps out alot because once I buy a new vehicle I do not like going back to the dealership and first thing I'm doing is voiding the warranty with egr delete and dpf delete. Thanks for the video woody.
I’ve removed that crossover tube on several 6.7s with no breakage. Go drive the truck, get it nice and hot, then they come out no problem. The lubricant doesn’t do much since they’re flanged bolts.
Great video Woody!!!! My 2019 is deleted and tuned. Guy that deleted the truck just turned off the EGR with the tune. I am wanting to remove the cooler now and do a manifold and piping kit. Can I just do what you did in the video and not have to mess with the tune?
i highly recommend draining 2-3 gallons a coolant before hand, it makes way less of a mess and way easier than dumping acouple gallons of coolant down the side of the motor and needing a massive pan to try and catch it all
Very informative vid. Thanks for the knowledge. Is it necessary to disconnect both batteries and how do you drain the coolant and how much do I need to drain?
After watching a couple of these I have to wonder why you can't just get a block off plate for the exhaust tubes and leave the cooler on the engine? This would save a lot of work and make it look stock unless you really know what to look for. I may be missing something but it would be a lot more simple.
Awesome very informative video! You probably added another 300k miles of life to that 6.7 from dpf/egr delete. Hopefully, not much difference from 2017 vs 2021 6.7 powerstroke when it comes to EGR cooler. My 2021 F-350 Tremor xlt 6.7 will arrive to MN in May (according to dealer).
Hello woody! thanks for the video it's great to see someone doing there own work. Im still little new to diesels and have owned my 2019 ford 250 for about a year now. with all the changes you made to your truck does it really enhance the performance and life of the engine? Here in nazie california won't touch anything till I move out of state then it will all come off.
It only enhances the life if you don’t go crazy with power. Just deleting everything, simple clean tunes, and maybe a lift pump is all you really need. 100 extra hp easy and peace of mind that the rest of the truck will rot off before the engine goes😂
very informative video but i have some querries about the EGR bypass valve especially for Ford F550. i will be thankful if you can answer below 2 questions. Thanks 1.) Firstly, i would like to know the position and structure and shape of the EGR bypass valve how does it look like. 2.) Secondly, when the EGR bypass valve is closed, then the exhasut gas is bypassed directly in to the manifold. my question is when it is bypassed, then is it possible that some amount of the gas slips through the gaps around bypass valve or slips in the cooler? Or does the gas goes back?
This is great but what about the heater hose you disconnected to remove the EGR and gan access to the back bolts? Does this hose not need to be capped/reconnected to something?
Hey WOODY .. what type of Milwaukee ratchet was that ?? Model please ?? And what kind of LED light are you using ?? Where can i find that to buy ??? Thanks woody … appreciate your videos !
Just purchased a 2018 f350 SD 6.7, there are some mods but no access to the prior owner. Is there a way to tell if the EGR is blocked off with out removing the cooler?
nice info brother, but i got a question, i coming from the world of big rigs , i got a deleted isx straight pipe , sounds awesome, but my actual egr cooler is still on the truck , everything is block off except coolant lines but i use it as a bypass, can i do the same with this , block everything i need and leave the egr on and use it as a bypass coolant line cause that’s really a lot of work , i know is not that difficult but i think i can do the same as i did on my semi , i just bought a 2018 f250 and i love it but i know all that crappy shit needs to be out in order to save the truck from killing him self
If you use a temp sensor from the exhaust system and put it in the block off plate or the manifold it will read correctly because the egr temp one will read backwards
I have a 2017 f250 by disconnecting egr n run a straight pipe will it void warranty incase something happens to my engine or transmission? Im new to diesel
@@woodysworkshop816 Right on, I’ve heard nothing but great things about Jousting Pigs. Gonna have to get up there and check em out real soon, I reckon. Thanks!
Did you have to buy a tuner to get past the electronics that you unplugged just wondering i am going to order a 2021 and not sure if i will delete it or not great video thanks have a great day be safe.
How much coolant did you fill back up, also do you fill from the secondary or the primary coolant reservoir? Thanks, will be tackling this in the next couple days.
Jason Woods I did a complete flush of both the primary and secondary with distilled water to change from the Orange oat coolant to the new yellow poat. It has a longer service life and doesn’t not require additives/testing like the orange did. I used about 4.5 gallons for both the primary and secondary. If you just want to top it back off I would estimate around 1 gallon should be sufficient and it is the primary cooling system.
I was contemplating getting a 2020 with the new powerstroke but can't justify the price of one. I think I'm just going to stick the 2017. I can imagine the power levels would be the same with it tuned and all. Thanks for the awesome video
Did you drain the system first ? Or just pop the cooler off and let drain what’s in there ? What am I expecting to add back in if I’m only removing the cooler
Thanks! The truck currently has 136k. It's running great. I used the cheaper sct tuner to flash the truck. It came with the complete egr/dpf delete kit from diesel race kits on ebay. It was budget friendly and had everything I wanted. Plus all parts of the kit are made is the USA.
Woodys I want to do my 2019, but I may just unplug the EGR and leave it in place instead. Haven’t decided how I want to do it yet. I do know I wanna do a 4” pipe, but need to learn more about tuners before I pull the trigger. Slowly learning!
I did a complete EGR/ DPF delete so I did have to re flash the truck. I bought the complete kit from dieselracekits on ebay. It included the EGR delete, race pipe and tuner for $1100. This is the kit I used www.ebay.com/itm/2011-2019-FORD-6-7-DIESEL-RACE-KITS-PACKAGE-SHIFT-ON-THE-FLY-TUNER-RACE-READY/174438016768?hash=item289d50e700:g:nrgAAOSwP45eUFCS
@@rbell944 Turned all the way up is an additional 220HP. No more DEF. That is actually why I decided to finally do the delete because I was having an issue with the level sensor in my DEF tank and decided to delete everything rather than fix it.
Does the truck need a time/computer update if you delete just the EGR? I want to delete mine but am worried about warranty. Don’t want to delete the DPF because I like how quite the truck is, that fact that doesn’t have the diesel smell and also dong want to blow black smoke
Miles Veasley No it’s not a necessity, you can just unplug everything. For me it was about simplicity and eliminating unnecessary parts to make future repairs easier. I didn’t want to wait until the truck had 200k and needed valve cover gaskets to then have to deal with rusted a seized hardware.
The EGR cooler/valve recirculates exhaust gas back into the engine. Deleting it prevents this and reduces the risk of potential cooler failure/leakage and blockage. I did a full delete on the truck.
Definitely do but it’s pretty simple. I bought a stubby delete kit for my plugs on the EGR and the plugs on the under carriage for the exhaust sensors.
@@justinpennington6981 I used PB Blaster. When ever I pulled the truck into the garage I would spray the bolts when the engine was hot. I also would tap the two bolts while they were hot.
@@lucab69 got a pretty good kit online. Does the same as SPE and other high-quality companies. Don't want to dump it in the exhaust. Long term issues am thinking. Got a a catch can I can empty over time. Don't want that oil in my intake valves and turbo. We shall 👀
Victor Banda My truck is a 17 so it initially came with the OAT orange. I drained and filled both systems 2 times with distilled water. On the final fill I changed over to the new POAT yellow. Each drain and fill was about 4.5/5 gallons for both the primary and secondary systems combined.
@@woodysworkshop816 Awesome thanks for the info. I'm probably going to run the truck a little longer and do a few full services before I lighten the truck up.
