Key Features
- EGR valve and cooler removal hardware: Provides the mechanical components used to remove the listed factory EGR parts.
- Block-off components: Close the applicable EGR openings after the original valve and cooler are removed.
- Coolant-path components: The supplied formed hose, reducer, clamps, and related hardware reconnect the coolant path affected by EGR cooler removal.
- Application-specific fitment check: Compatibility depends on the vehicle’s engine identification, factory EGR layout, coolant routing, and emissions configuration.
- Installation reference: Illustrated instructions and a downloadable installation guide are provided below.
Important: Performance, fuel economy, operating temperature, check-engine-light behavior, and tuning requirements can vary with vehicle condition, ECU calibration, installation, and other modifications. No specific performance or operating result is guaranteed.
How This EGR Delete Kit Changes the Factory System
The factory EGR system routes a controlled portion of exhaust gas through the EGR valve and cooler before returning it to the engine’s intake system. Installing this kit mechanically removes the EGR valve and cooler, closes the applicable exhaust-gas openings, and reconnects the coolant path affected by cooler removal.
In this application, delete refers to removing the EGR valve and cooler. Block-off refers to closing the related exhaust-gas openings with the supplied plates. Coolant rerouting refers to reconnecting the affected coolant circuit after the original EGR cooler is removed.
This kit does not replace the EGR valve with a functioning stock-style valve. It also does not remove the diesel particulate filter, DEF/SCR system, or their sensors. Any ECU calibration or programming required after the mechanical EGR components are removed must be arranged separately.
What Is Included
The kit provides the mechanical components shown in the product images and installation instructions for removing the EGR valve and cooler, closing the related openings, and reconnecting the affected coolant path.
- Coolant hose
- Reducer
- Block-off bracket
- Hose clamps
- Cooler-side block-off plate
- Turbo-manifold block-off plate
- Intake-manifold-side block-off plate
- Installation bolts
- Washers
- Plugs and related installation hardware
- Vacuum-line cap shown in the instructions
- Optional gauge-port fitting shown in the instructions
Not included: ECU tuning, programming software, an electronic module, a DPF delete pipe, DEF/SCR removal hardware, replacement coolant, sealing materials, or workshop tools.
Compare the received components with the supplied instructions before beginning installation. Contact FLASHARK before installation if any required component is missing or does not match the vehicle.
Additional Parts and Supplies
Additional coolant, approved sealing materials, replacement seals, service hardware, or application-specific tools may be required. Requirements depend on the vehicle’s condition, factory configuration, and installation procedure.
Inspect the vehicle and review the complete installation instructions before draining coolant or removing the original EGR components.
Tune and Programming Requirements
Tuning, programming software, and electronic modules are not included with this mechanical kit. Confirm the ECU tuning and programming requirements for the exact vehicle year, engine, ECU calibration, and emissions configuration before ordering.
Do not assume that tuning is unnecessary simply because the mechanical components can be installed. The factory ECU may continue to monitor EGR flow, valve position, temperature, or other EGR-related operating conditions after the original hardware is removed.
Tune confirmation required: Determine the correct vehicle-specific tuning or programming plan before installation. No tuner, software license, calibration file, or electronic module is included with this kit.
Possible Check-Engine-Light and System Effects
Removing the factory EGR valve and cooler may cause diagnostic trouble codes or a check-engine light when the ECU detects missing components or EGR operation outside the expected range. Depending on the vehicle and calibration, incorrect or incomplete installation may also affect engine operation or contribute to a reduced-power condition.
Results depend on the ECU calibration, installed hardware, sensor condition, coolant-system service, workmanship, and other vehicle modifications. This kit does not include a guarantee of no check-engine light, no fault codes, or no reduced-power operation.
Installation Notes and Instructions
- Professional installation by a technician familiar with 3.0L EcoDiesel EGR and cooling systems is recommended.
- Allow the engine to cool completely before opening the cooling system.
- Read the complete instructions before removing the original EGR valve or cooler.
- Coolant service is normally involved because the factory EGR cooler is connected to the engine cooling circuit.
- Keep debris and contamination out of open exhaust, intake, and coolant passages.
- Retain any original seals or components that the installation instructions require for reassembly.
- Confirm the location and orientation of every hose, clamp, fitting, block-off component, washer, and fastener.
- Use the applicable manufacturer torque specifications for fasteners unless verified product-specific specifications are supplied.
- Follow the correct coolant filling and air-removal procedure for the vehicle.
- Inspect all coolant and exhaust connections for leakage after installation.
- Existing modifications may change component access, hose routing, required parts, or calibration requirements.
