Mine on my LMM with 20k miles was rediculous. Half inch + thick in spots. I posted pics here somewhere.
when you delete EGR you are left with those 2 holes. Also the up-pipe needs to be replaced or blocked too.
The piece with the 2 holes (bridge?) needs to be supported too as the EGR valve supports it when in place. Also the EGR coolant lines need to bespliced together.

Looks like the air box on some of the old 645c emd I use to work on as well as Detriots 149 Series
I was told that it was not a good idea to do an EGR delete/block I mean can you truck still go 300-400k without an EGR delete? Yea I agree that is nasty but if it doesn't hinder daily driver performance why do an EGR delete?
That's why I rerouted the pcv and blocked the egr on my LBZ before it had 15 miles on it. I actually bought the blocker plate and PCV reroute stuff before I bought the truck.

We need to address the issue of the gloves! When you work on a diesel you are supposed to get exstremely dirty as proof of said work-gloves are for wimps Mr. McRat!
I bet if the PCV is left unblocked it will clean a lot of that crap out. I have seen pics of it.
tore mine apart today....and it looked just like that...117K...cant believe ihavent blocKed that crap.
that crap in there can get real messy...before i knew it iwas tracked all over the inside of my house

Newbee Question
Sorry for the probably dumb question but does it do any good to clean that out when you block it? Or is blocking it good enough?

I gotta question. If I have the egr "turned off" w/ efi do I still need to block it? Do the gasses still flow through creating all the build up? I know my truck is prolly caked up a bit because i didn't turn the egr off until about 55,000 miles. I should prolly just buy the blocker plate as an extra precaution!!

Killerbee says his tuning will cause the egr valve never to open, but we all know thats not true
the valve can still be pushed open over 20-25 psi of boost, block it.

Has anyone here tried running some Seafoam through the system to clean up the shiza?
I just bought a 2006 LBZ with 64K on the odo, bone stock. I can just imagine what the passageways look like.....
