Hopefully someone will chime in with some pics here...but the EGR is EVIL!!! It recirculates spent exhaust gases back into the combustion process to lower emission...slightly. Over time the residue left over from this process coats the insides of the turbo outlet...exhaust manifolds and over time reduces performance. Bad stuff....

Yes if you don't use a tuner to shut them down. Quad, PPE, EFI Live would be top three choices, and while your at it might as well drop the DPF and get more out of the truck :-)

Or you can get a fingers stick and solder it into your engine wires to stop the code....but I would HIGHLY recommend getting a tuner. Hacking at wires under the hood is ballzy.

what a nightmare!
finally a few days without rain so it was time for the EGR. It took me about 2 hours
12mm ratchet wrench is a must have, I tried the socket and it doesnt work. The plate doesnt just slide in because there is a lip next to the gap. The slots in the plate needed to be widened with tin snips
After all that I managed to rip the wires out of the air intake temp sensor which is being overnighted to me. The only real hard part for me was the turbo mouth piece, who the hell designs this crap.
ya shoving the wires back into the sensor doesnt work........*&^%#@
