To perform a lly egr delete kit on a Duramax engine, you will need to follow these steps:
- Purchase the necessary components
You will need an EGR Delete Tube and EGR Cap from a reputable supplier, such as ProFab. - Prepare the engine compartment
Ensure that you have the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to work in the engine compartment safely. - Remove the exhaust system
You may need to remove the up pipe, depending on the specific kit you are using. Some kits may require the use of a block-off plate for flow reasons. - Install the EGR Delete Tube and Cap
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to properly install the EGR Delete Tube and Cap in your engine. - Reassemble the exhaust system
Once the EGR Delete components are installed, reassemble the exhaust system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. - Test the vehicle
After completing the installation, test drive the vehicle to ensure that the EGR delete has been successfully implemented.
Risks associated with installing an egr delete kit on a lly duramax
Installing a lly duramax egr delete kit on LLY engine can have several risks associated with it. Some of the potential risks include:
- Increased exhaust gas temperature
When you remove the EGR system, the exhaust gases may not be cooled as effectively, leading to an increase in exhaust gas temperature. - Decreased fuel efficiency
Removing the EGR system can affect the fuel efficiency of your vehicle, as the EGR system helps to recirculate exhaust gases, which can improve combustion efficiency. - Potential legal complications
In some jurisdictions, modifying your vehicle to bypass emissions systems can be considered a federal crime in the United States. It is essential to check the laws in your area before installing an EGR delete kit. - Failure of state emissions tests
If you choose to use an EGR delete kit on your vehicle as a way to bypass your system, you are 99.99% guaranteed to fail your emissions tests if they are required by the state. - Environmental concerns
If you use the vehicle for off-road driving, the EGR delete may not be as detrimental to the environment as it would be on-road. - Potential engine issues
Some users have reported issues with the EGR delete kit not fitting properly or causing problems with the engine.
The benefits of installing an egr delete kit on a lly duramax
- Improved fuel economy
An EGR delete kit can improve your diesel engine’s power levels and overall fuel efficiency by reducing the amount of exhaust gas recirculated back into the engine. - Increased engine longevity
By reducing the amount of exhaust gas recirculated back into the engine, an EGR delete kit can help to reduce the likelihood of diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, which can lead to engine damage. - Increased power
An EGR delete kit can increase the power output of your engine by reducing the amount of exhaust gas recirculated back into the engine. - Cleaner engine operation
An EGR delete kit can help to reduce the amount of soot and other pollutants generated by your engine, leading to a cleaner engine operation. - Less maintenance
By removing the EGR system, you may be able to reduce the amount of maintenance required on your engine, as the EGR system can be prone to clogging and other issues.
