First off I'm not claiming to be a diesel mechanic, but know a little (mainly older stuff).
I've never done it on a 6.4 so I can't really give you an accurate answer. I done two on 6.0's and they weren't bad too bad at all. Although I can't remember the sites, but there are several diesel forums on the web and you could get a good idea of what it takes. The kit I got from Sinister, came with step by step instructions for how to do it on a 6.0 |

The book calls for a 6 or 7 hour job for this. Thats like 500 dollars. I think I can get it done in 8-10 hrs
I ordered the sinister kit also. I just have to take off half the engine it seems to do the delete. |

how are you gong to do the delete? block off plate in between the egr and up-pipe and tune off the egr, or complete removal? you really shouldn't need a lift. I have replaced couple 6.4 egr coolers and if I recall right a lift is very helpful but not a deal breaker, you will need to get the drivers tire off to have room. powerstroke.org is a great place, lots of info

I will turn it off with the H&S mini maxx then use the plates to block it off. This is the 150ish dollar delete kit, it is not the 1k one with a waste gate, as I am not racing this thing, just using it, and making it as bullet proof as I can. I plan on this being the last diesel truck I ever own. |

Different truck, but I have a dodge CTD that I want to delete, but I still tons of warranty left. I found a lot of how to's online to delete. The CTD egr is a snap to delete. Google and YouTube may be your friend.

Hopefully the Gearbox-Z delete with no tune isn't too bad. It's only CAT back, so we'll see. Should be here next week. I'm also only using it on closed course and it should not to be driven on an roads.

Some of you guys need to understand that putting this on a licensed vehicle is illegal. Asking about putting it on one violates CoC #4. This can only be done on offroad vehicles and race vehicles.
Keep that in mind. |

I looked at the kit, looks like both coolers get removed? if so I the one thing I will say is that leave the brackets for the lower cooler in place, you don't want to be messing with the manifold bolts, they have been known to break and if so your in for a treat

I have seen a bunch of 6.4 with the DPF delete and it really helped Them as far a power, fuel econemy and last longer.
I have never seen a 6.4 with a EGR delete. The 2 EGR coolers and all the pipes and coolent lines would be a PITA to take off. I would just leave it, the 6.4 coolers don't blow like the 6.0 ones do for no reason. They only blow when the coolent level gets low due to radiator or hose o-ring leaks. I have changed Them in cab and that is not a big deal. Pull the drivers battery tray/ degas bottle and the radiator and fan out. it's all right there. |

Many of the higher power tunes will disable the EGR valve from opening at all. This mitigates the recycling of gasses but won't protect against a leak. If I had a tuned farm truck, that's what I would do.

Had 13,000 miles on it, we took it to CO to go skiing with some friends(6 of us total) and it broke down east of Brush, CO. I'll bet not very many of you know what's east of Brush, CO. Fucking nothing. Nothing, and I'm the guy that get's dogged for living in the middle of nowhere. We called a tow truck and a taxi(not really a taxi, just a former child molester that had lost most of his teeth, owned a minivan--no free candy--and was willing to pick five of us up) it took 45 minutes for the taxi molester and an hour and a half for the tow truck. I waited for the truck. Nothing is better than sitting on the interstate watching semis blow by you. There. That's my irrelevant story for the night. So far. ETA: dramatic effect |

I had 2- 6.4's. No real reason to take it actually off the truck as it can be disabled with the tuner.

Gas turbo cars have a BLOWOFF VALVE that dumps excess boost on throttle let off. The waste gate is what controls max boost. At a certain PSI the waste gate opens and dumps everything over what it's set it to maintain your set boost. And yes, a true EGR delete does require an external waste gate to be installed. |

Your own post can lead to confusion. Instead of blow off valve how about bypass valve which both superchargers and turbos have in common. Wastegates being used to maintain a certain boost level or peak allowing bleed off of excess. However did you mean a true EGR delete needs a bypass valve? Because as noted, a spooled turbo with no place to dump boost with cut throttle is going to do nasty things. My reading as I prepare to one day have two blown cars is that this This is the primary purpose of the bypass valve, not the waste gate. |

I borrowed a buddies lift.
Did the downpipe back full replacement. Since when I weld it looks like I used a potato torch, I had a shop tack it for me as the bands would present a problem down the road. |
