For 2011-2023 6.7L Ford F250 F350 Powerstroke Diesel EGR Cooler Delete Kit
Product Overview
Q: Why does this kit use a pass-through plate instead of a simple flat block-off?
A: The 6.7L cooling circuit requires fluid to continuously move through the rear section of the engine block. A pass-through design keeps coolant actively flowing through the loop track while permanently sealing out exhaust gases—maintaining stable engine pressures without the need for complex custom plumbing modifications.
Q: Can I reuse my factory EGT sensor with the stainless steel exhaust plate?
A: Yes. The 304 stainless steel exhaust block-off plate comes pre-drilled and tapped with a standard 1/8" NPT port, allowing you to thread in either your factory Exhaust Gas Temperature probe or an aftermarket gauge sensor without modification.
Q: Will this delete hardware work without reprogramming the truck’s computer?
A: No—the 6.7L PCM continuously monitors the EGR loop through differential sensors. Removing any components without an emissions-off delete tuner will trigger codes such as P0401 or P040F and force the truck into limp mode. A software flash is mandatory before removing any hardware.
Q: Why do 2015-2016 model years need an extra coolant reroute hose?
A: Ford revised the secondary cooling system plumbing and quick-connect hardware specifically for the 2015 and 2016 model years. While the main block-off plates fit every 6.7L application, 2015-2016 trucks require a custom-length additional reroute hose to properly bridge the updated coolant path back to the water pump.
Q: What if I prefer not to reinstall the factory EGT sensor into the exhaust plate?
A: If your tuning software has disabled EGT monitoring and you no longer want to reuse the fragile OEM sensor, the exhaust block-off plate can be easily plugged. The kit provides a clean setup that allows you to install the included threaded plug for a tidy, simplified engine bay.
