Important Compatibility Notes
- Important: Check your EGR cooler style and build date before ordering. 2004 trucks can fall on either side of the change.
- Important: These kits are application-specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke. They do not fit 6.4L or 6.7L Power Stroke engines.
- If your truck already has an aftermarket up-pipe, EGR cooler, or intake parts, send photos to support before you order.
6.0L Powerstroke EGR Cooler Failure Symptoms
Most owners start shopping after one of these warning signs:
- Coolant loss with no visible leak
- Rising coolant temperature or bubbling in the degas bottle
- White exhaust smoke after startup
- EGR flow or sensor codes such as P0401, P0402, and P0404
A failed cooler can push coolant into the exhaust and intake side of the engine. Address it early, before it becomes a head gasket repair.

Stock EGR vs. EGR Delete
| Area |
Stock EGR System |
With EGR Delete Kit |
| Cooler failure risk |
Factory cooler can leak coolant into the exhaust and intake side. |
Cooler is removed, so that failure point is gone. |
| Intake condition |
Recirculated exhaust carries soot into the intake. |
Intake stays cleaner without recirculated exhaust. |
| Maintenance |
Repeated valve cleaning and cooler repairs. |
Fewer EGR-related service items. |
| Tuner |
Not needed. |
Typically needed to address EGR codes and calibration. |
| Intended use |
Emissions-controlled vehicle. |
Off-road, race, or non-public-road use where permitted. |
Installation Notes
Difficulty: moderate to hard. The job requires draining coolant and removing intake components. Professional installation is recommended where appropriate.
Work on a cool engine, disconnect both batteries, and support the truck on jack stands if you need underside access.
- Prepare the truck. Park on level ground, let the engine cool fully, disconnect both batteries, and drain the coolant.
- Remove the factory EGR parts. Unbolt the EGR valve, cooler, and related piping. Disconnect coolant lines and electrical connectors, then clean the mounting surfaces.
- Install the delete components. Fit the block-off plate and intake elbow with the new gaskets and hardware. If your kit includes an up-pipe, it replaces the factory pipe at this step.
- Reassemble and refill. Reinstall the intake parts, refill the coolant, and bleed air from the system.
- Check for leaks. Reconnect the batteries, start the engine, and inspect for coolant and exhaust leaks during warm-up.
The Installation Guide tab on each product page has step-by-step photos and torque specs for your kit.
Before You Buy
- Tuner: A tune is typically required after the EGR system is removed, so the truck does not set EGR codes. Confirm your setup before the first bolt comes off.
- Oil cooler: The factory oil cooler on the 6.0L is a known failure point and is commonly linked to EGR cooler damage. Many owners inspect or replace it during the same job.
- Intended use: See the compliance note below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 6.0 Powerstroke EGR delete kit add horsepower?
The main benefit is reliability at the EGR cooler, not a set horsepower number. Removing recirculated exhaust can improve airflow, and with proper tuning many owners report smoother throttle response under load.
Will an EGR delete kit clear my check engine light?
EGR codes such as P0401, P0402, and P0404 are tied to the EGR system. Removing the hardware without matching tuner calibration can set new codes, so confirm your tuner requirements before ordering.
Should I replace the oil cooler at the same time?
It is strongly recommended to inspect it. A clogged oil cooler can restrict coolant flow and put extra stress on the EGR cooler. You already have the engine opened up, which makes this the easiest time to address it.
What is the difference between an EGR delete and an upgraded EGR cooler?
An EGR delete removes the factory EGR system and replaces it with block-off components. An upgraded cooler keeps the EGR system and uses a stronger cooler design. The upgraded cooler suits a more stock configuration.
Can I tow with a 6.0 Powerstroke after an EGR delete?
Many owners choose this upgrade to improve towing reliability by removing a common failure point. Pair it with proper tuning and a healthy cooling system for best results.
