I've had a vlocker (thats German for Blocker..LOL), plate in since 2 weeks after getting my truck in Apr 2007. That was at 37,000 miles, I'm just shy of 175,000 miles and the plate is still in and no gaseous leaks there at all.

I have heard/read somwhere however that by keeping ones EGR blocked it may cause issues of corrosion/acid within, to or about the egr cooler potenitally causing leaks. I am not sure if I have that correct, but would like to know from those of you who have had your egr blocked and then decided to remove the whole system.

Other than being rewarded with significantly more space and easier acess to the motor, is there any other reason (as per above), as to why one would want to do so..??:confused:

Thanx,

Theo

I blocked mine shortly after buying my truck
I removed the cooler around 60 k when I installed my HTT turbo and the cooler looked fine on the inside.

I blew the plug out of the end of the fuel rail this winter and had to remove the rail on the side of the highway:mad: I was reall glad that i didnt have that EGR cooler in the way:D

Not that i have ever heard of anyone ever blowing the plug out besides myself but it sure does make working on the trucks nice

175!!!! Your catching up, but mines been sitting for 2 weeks.

Mines seeping a little oil now. Somone said do the pvc re-route(which I haven't yet) and that would stop the oil seeping. I plan on that pretty soon

JEsus...What a way to spend a day.! Shit Sweet, that woulda ruined my whole day and Im sure it did yours too. Damn.

But seriously, I get the weight reduction for sure and the ease with which to work on the motor...Good things for sure and worthwhile removing just for that sake in itself. It's just that somewhere I heard or read that becuase of acidic reaction within the cooler..there were issues. Maybe I was dreamin..could be. Do that a lot when I'm on the road.

hmmmmmm, hourglass shaped 31 yr old, 5' 8"... redhead with green eyes...n long legs + a set of not too big & el natural mounds of wonderment............... Ohh..sorry, there I go again.!! LOL Geez, gotta stop doing that.!!:angel:
