What Happened to your fuel mileage when you unplugged the egr? Have you had any egr problems, at all even though it was unplugged? I am interested in this because i know every motor is different.

Fuel mileage improved but just a tad. Have not had any other problems.

So you just put the plate in and unplug the EGR valve? You don't have to get the turbo reprogrammed?

I havent got the guts to install mine just yet. -
Will this mod harm anything? Hasn't harmed mine. Still original turbo, injectors, etc. I got the truck at 319,000 miles, the original owner did change the EGR valve. I never have. I now have 791,000 on it and only problem was a cam, but that was related to rocker problem that Cummins put out a tech bulletin on. The cam problem was totally unrelated to the modification. Oil samples look very good. And ever since I put the block in, my oil stays almost "out of the jug" clean for almost 10,000 miles after an oil change.
As a side note, I did the modification while engine was still in warranty. Took it to Cummins around 450,000 miles for a leaking front cover that was a warranty item. They knew I had done the mod and really could care less. They honored the warranty. I have only had one tech ever make a negative comment about it. My dealer shop could care less. My Cummins shop could care less.
Oh... I did start getting a fault code on the EGR valve about a year ago. Took it in to my dealer to see about the fault. Mike, my Cummins man at the dealer just chuckled and said the EGR took a dump. He knew about my mod and that I wouldn't change out the EGR valve. That valve is still sitting there looking dumb. -
