This is why you block your EGR

This is the reason I only recommend windshield washer fluid or just water (no 50/50 stuff). The Sea Foam goes in the fuel for a timed combustion (no cure all though). The windshield fluid does a far better job at cleaning, cooling, and power adding. No huge nozzles though. Fine misting is the key here.

good to see ya aorund Micheal, its been awhile, I hope everything is goin well. I also am beliver in water injection it will clean your heads up. I dont like meth because of the increased cylinder pressure I am afraid with my boost and no head studs the meth will put me over the edge.
I need to get a blocker plate. My truck has 44,000 miles on it, I just need to do it already. Do the PVC reroute as while i'm in there. I don't want shit in my enigine. I plan on owning this truck for awhile and don't want any issues related to this. I just have my EGR valve unplugged for right now I hope that has helped some.

man those pics scare me!!
i better do a blocker plate! i thought just turning it off with EFI would be fine enough... but i didn't know it can do that

Intake tract on mine is spotless clean, prolly from the M/W all though i don'tn have EGR there was some grunge when i got it and shes like new now
FYI, I've run 45% methanol @ 32psi boost with no issues, completly stock internals, headgaskets, etc. And thats with 2 big @ss nozzles, about 2qts of mix in a 1/4 mile run!

What made you take it apart? Any outward signs or symptoms of a problem. I am thinking it may reduce mpg if it is clogging. After reading this thread I am considering pulling mine apart for inspection.
Mine was terrible like that as well. It took me a ton of cleaner to get it out.
Water/Meth injection may take thousands of miles to clean things up. Mine took a bottle of superclean with scalding hot water & a brush/scraper to get the intake tract clean.

Sure glad I blocked and re-routed shortly after I bought my truck. That is gross!!
My '04 6 liter PSD Service Truck plugged off the intake twice in 300 000km and it had to go in about every other month in the winter to get a new egr sensor and egr valve put in. Emissions controls suck!!

Its got to be related to driving conditions. I blocked my lbz at about 129,000 miles. average speed on the truck is about 56mph, so not a lot of idleing or city driving. It wasnt nearly as clogged as many I've seen with 30-40,000 miles on them

Hey there the company i work for BG products makes the EGR tool that cleans the Ford 6.0. They now have the adapters to service the Duramax and Cummins. Best part u don't have to remove or take apart anything. The service is done with the truck running.:cool2:
There is no way the PVC is the sole cause, but the EGR and PVC together is the problem. I bet the PVC alone will clean out the intake if you block off the EGR. Removing soot is why there is additives in diesel oils.
