A component package designed to remove or bypass the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system on a specific model year of Ford F-250 trucks. The EGR system reduces emissions by recirculating a portion of exhaust gas back into the engine’s intake manifold. These packages typically include block-off plates, coolant rerouting hoses, and potentially electronic components to prevent error codes.
The modification offers potential benefits such as improved engine performance and fuel economy by eliminating the buildup of soot and carbon deposits in the intake manifold. Its rise in popularity stemmed from a desire to enhance the longevity and reliability of the engine, especially in situations involving heavy usage or towing. Furthermore, its application can mitigate issues commonly associated with failing EGR systems, avoiding costly repairs.
