Installed the EGR Blocker Plate today. Boy do we have it made compared to the Light Duty Truck owners, as far as accessability to the EGR.

Below is a picture of the location where the Blocker Plate is installed.

This picture is looking in through the Dog House. No firewall in our way. ):h

Yeah, and it makes it easier to drill out the broken bolts when you snap them off! Don't ask me how I know.:eek: :rolleyes: :banghead:

Now go to the other end and make a plate for the intake tube to block off the intake and you will see an increase in throttle reponse.

J-M,

Are you talking about the other end of the EGR Assembly?

I believe that on that end there are 4 vertical bolts and two ports.

Do you have any pictures?

George Thanks!! I'm going to be doing the same soon!!

I think by other end, he means where the EGR assembly tees into the aluminum intake pipe. The gasket looks like a big thermostat gasket. And it would be a PITA to get all the EGR bolts loose enough to lift the EGR up high enough to slip a blocker in there. I think there are 4 bolts holding the EGR down and 2 more that sandwich the gasket to the intake. The 2 on the backside, toward the turbo, are the hardest ones to get at. At least on a Kodiak. The blocker plate would also have to be larger than the blocker plate on the 'normal' end.

Looks good. How did the Finger Stick Install go??? Any differences over the LD trucks??

Sorry just found the post....great info and pics.
