Does anyone know if the LLY on LBZ egr blocker plate will fit on the LMM?

I heard that they updated the egr. I would say it would not work, but I do not know for sure.

I guess this is a question for kennedy seeing as he is the only one I know that makes blocker plates???

Call your dealer and get the P/N for the EGR gasket for an LMM.

The P/N for the LBZ gasket is 97372002. If it's the same, it will fit....

The blocker plates are not even similar. We should have them ready for sale in the next couple of days...

your thr man dan! now just tell me yout tuning softwarte can get rid of the check engine light on my straightpiped LMM and maybe make my jet engine sound a little better.

Pardon my ignorance...but i am comming from an lb7....what will the egr blocker plate do for my lmm?

They are ready....


They physically block the egr gasses from being put back into the engine... These are for offroad use only!

Haha Off Rad use only!!

yeh right 90%are on the road every day!!! ha! ha!

I have never heard anyone else say for off road use only. Heck my Gm mechanic told me I would be stupid not to block it.

Do you need to tune anytihng when blocking the egr?

new here and I just picked up my 3500 4 door LTZ, so what are the improvements with this

I need help installing , please help

Dan@PPE said they are a mother to install on the LMM, so good luck. Way easier on the other motors than with the new LMM becuase of where it is located. No instructions?

& said it looked like it would be pretty hard. I already had a quite an in depth look at it before I asked for help and then called ppe as I did not want to seem like a stupid a$$. :D

Any LMMs in the Pittsburgh area? I can take a look and maybe do a Finger Stick for these beasts too.

I'm in Syracuse....kinda of a hike but don't mind road trips or BBQ's......Having a GTG June 30th if your up for a drive

Bring your test gear to Merchant's....maybe one will show up there and be willing to pop the hood. ;)

Yep Ive had my plate for a while now and its still sitting in my cup holder after looking and where it needs to go on the LMM. Way easier on the LLY.

Pardon my ignorance...but i am comming from an lb7....what will the egr blocker plate do for my lmm?

Should've kept your LB7.

any one have any advice to make the blocker plate install easier on the LMM. I spent over an hour yesterday trying to get in a good position to break the lower bolt loose on the EGR. It is just a beoch to get at. I tried ratchet wrenches, swivle heads you name it.... I removed the intake tube so i could manuvere a little easier nothing is working!! help!!

Don't you hate it when you get a little part like that EGR blocker plate and your like, "Ha! This will be easy!", only to find out that they buried it deep within your engine compartment?:rolleyes:

Didn't 07 diesel regulations change the amount of exhaust gas that had to be recirculated by the EGR? Thought I read it in Dieselpower, but that is probably why it is so different on the LMM.

I cant even find the dam egr valve on the lmm.. Anyone wanna snap a pic and point out where this plate is suppose to go?

Will blocking off EGR, cause it to throw a code?

Yes.. In most cases

Can't you just tune out the EGR function and not have to block it off? If the EGR is off, it should be closed, therefore blocking it for you. Much easier to close it from the drivers seat.

PPE has a egr blocker plate.

The plate is in! WHAT A F#(@ing differnce in MPG. Power sems liek it might be up a litle hard to tell but Wow im averaging 2 somtimes slightly more miles per gallon with the plate in. It also is a good feeling knowing that soot isnt blowing thru my turbo!!

did it throw a code puttin the plate in

X2... And how was that install, difficult as Dan said it would be? How long did it take you to finish?

I thought I saw pictures somewhere on location of LMM egr. Just surprized no instructions came w/PPE blocker plate.Help.

It was a BEOTCH!! but well worth it!! The LMM is way harder that any Duramax ive ever put a plate in. as with other year trucks and blocker plates the thing i found most helpful is to take the plate before your installation begins and wire wheel all the sharp edges down so that they are round. This helps in two major ways. A: you wont cut your self on the plates sharp square edges trying to slide it down into place. B: It slides into place better because the shapr edges do not catch and get humg up on your EGR gasket and this allows it to slide into place easier. I dont know if it threw a code or not I already have the check engine light on from my 4" turbo back straight pipe. Thats giving me abuot 4 or five codes so who knows if the plate set a code?????

Has anyone else done this, if so did they also experience better mileage/economy?

I did on mine with only 200 miles on the truck I'm ave 18 mpg. What a joke getting that thing in took me 3 hours but glad I did it. PPE programer no codes!

:nopics:

:exactly:

I did this mod before on all of my other D-Max's, but seeing how all of you guys are saying its a pain in the ass, I might come up with a new trick by spraying some of the Home Depot triple expanding foam in the line instead to block it off :eek: :smashfrea

Wish somebody would do a write-up (with pics) on this!! :)

:nopics:

Yes, its a b+$!@ to install. With PPE tuner no code! Small MPG improvement.

Is the blocker plate the same as the LBZ?

Do you have any photos PitchBlack???

is there any write up on this yet? This is a mandatory mod.

no pics? anyone?

I really hope you're kidding about that.

expanding foam?????? :muahaha:

no pics? anyone?

It is soooo buried that there is pretty much nothing to even take a picture of just my .02 but im sure anyone else who has done one will agree with me.

Could someone post a picture and just give the general location of this beast?

Also, will making this adjustment throw any codes?

I tried to do mine the other day. I took pictures and everything. Got the wrench on the top nut 12mm and the hardest one to get to. Wrench slipped off and my thumb found the exhaust heat shroud that covers this little pecker. Put 2 stitches in my thumb. Now it's WAR. I will win but this thing puts up a fight.

I am on a business trip right now. When I get home in a week I will put the pictures up.

Until then, it sits behind the intake tube on top of the engine behind the motor up under the firewall. You can't really see it. You kinda have to feel for it. My pictures are just to give you an idea of the location.

welllll

I am on my work computer right now. My home one is not fuctioning correctly. I will get them up as soon as I can get it fixed.

Sounds good. Thanks for doin that JT.
Have you noticed anything different after installing the blocker plate?

Dude, It's been almost a month? No pics yet? I am going to install mine in about a week or so and could use your photos to even locate the dam thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Might you be able to see it or get at it a little better if you take out the passenger side fender well?
