    Detroit says my block is a 2004 according to the Vin when they run it. The decal on the valve cover say it was rebuilt in 11. It's a 2012 Columbia glider. Can it really be a 2004 engine? IMG_0141.jpg

    The 12.7L wasn't discontinued until 2007 so yeah it's possible. But that means you have an EGR 12.7L engine unless the EGR has been deleted.

    It's a Schneider glider, have the factory build list and it's a factory rebuild installed at the factory. No egr.

    Wow, I thought every Detroit engine produced from 2003 forward had EGR, so I guess not. There's no way the factory would ever go backwards on emissions deleting an EGR.

    I believe EGR came out mid year in 2004. I know of someone who bought a 2004 reman from Detroit, 14L no EGR. This was a complete engine, not just a block or 3/4. I'd imagine Detroit, could not optionally not add the EGR if it was originally there.
