: Any Problems with blocked EGR's? Texasdeere 05-04-2010, 12:05 AM My LLY EGR was unplugged as soon as I brought the truck home and blocked as soon as I could get my hands on a plate. 50k miles now with no problems.

Looks like I may have a little leak at the blocker plate though. PCV re-route is coming soon. ChevyWolf 05-04-2010, 07:22 PM Iinstalled mine around 10,000miles. Now have 77,300 miles and not one issue so far. hillbilly_ryan 05-04-2010, 10:11 PM I've had mine in for 20,000+ miles and had no problems. Just image yourself running with a back pack on your back. Would you want to do that while puffing on a cigarette? steakman 05-05-2010, 12:17 AM installed blocker @ 34,500 miles: Mar 07 fingered same day now @ 174,500 miles I'm still driving it :D But am contemplating complete egr delete at some point to make some space. I s'pose I should take my intake apart one day as well and have a look...maybe even clean it out.. am curious to see how much of said crud got in there over the orig 34.5K miles. Theo hosehog113 05-05-2010, 11:20 AM 50k miles since mine was blocked and no problems as of yet. BuckElk 05-05-2010, 02:41 PM is the finger stick a must have with the plate? 13Fox 05-05-2010, 10:23 PM is the finger stick a must have with the plate? With mine it was or I kept getting a code. My is also NOT FE9. BuckElk 05-06-2010, 08:32 AM With mine it was or I kept getting a code. My is also NOT FE9. What do you mean by FE9? Thanks 13Fox 05-06-2010, 05:24 PM Sorry, going too fast. I meant to say that it is FE9, NOT CA Emissions. FE9 is Federal Emissions, all states except California and I believe a couple in the northeast. YF5 (I think it is) is California Emissions. This code should be on the door in your glovebox. Some trucks that are FE9 do not set off a SES light when blocked, mine did. Micheal Tomac 05-07-2010, 03:46 AM EGR blocked and PCV rerouted for over 70000 miles without any problems. I did it as soon as I brought the truck home from the dealer.
