Cutting sensors off

[DBoudreaux]

After installing the delete kit on 2008 6. 7, Can I just unplug the sensors instead of tie wrapping them up against frame? Just tired of the Barometric Pressure sensor throwing the DTC.

It will set a code.

Darn, then how do I stop the Barometric Pressure Sensor from throwing code 2-3 times in a 3 hr trip??

Also, when I installed delete kit about year ago. I install pipe with no sensor ports, so sensors are just tie wrapped to frame. I didnt do anything to the EGR Acutator Plunger nor the Throttle Valve Connector. Should I take plunger out and unplug TVC?

The egr actuator motor must remain plugged in.

I have a GDP intake horn on mine, so I tie wrapped the egr motor to the battery box.

Read through these instructions, and do EXACTLY as they say, and you will have a code free truck.

Have a great day

Everything checks out except, I dont see anything like the EGR Cooler Servo nor the EGR Block off plate. I have 08 4500. I may be blind but I dont see anything like those two.

IIRC, the 4500/5500 platform did not use the EGR cooler bypass. That's what the servo was for.

Ok, so by just following steps for the EGR Valve and throttle vale I should be good?? Also, after removing the Actuator, can I put motor back on or do I have to leave if off??

On my 2007. 5 I removed actuator and just put motor back on. No problem. .

 

[JDinNY]

Yes, like Marc says, you can just remove the plunger and bolt the motor back to the horn. I had mine that way until I bought the GDP horn.

Cool deal, thx very much! Now, is it my imagination, or is my truck blowing LESS black smoke since I took the plunger out and disconnected TVC?? Note, I installed the delete pipe a year ago but never did anything with the Actuator Plunger or the TVC till a few days ago.
