Is it possible to delete the EGR valve on a '96 5.9?

What would be the benefits of this?

 

i have mine blocked off due to non egr headers....no difference that i could tell....

 

How did you block it off?

 

96 should not have one

i blocked mine by putting a piece of metal between the erg pipe and the exhausr man

 

No EGR in 96 (at least on Dakotas). Mine is gone because of a non-EGR M1, I took the tube off the manifold, cut it, then pinched it in a press and bolted it back on.

 

Everything I have seen had one on the '96 models. Hmmm, now I am gonna go look.

 

I thought '97 was the year they did away with them?

 

i believe 96 was a split year......i just made a little plate to bolt on the end of the tube and left everything else hooked up...i get a code every great once in awhile

 

My 96 does not have EGR.

 

i deleted mine in my 95, deleted pipe, (had ends welded closed) and the new manifold i bought when doing plenum had a piece to block off the egr....no difference what so ever, get a CEL like once every 3000 miles, andwhen i shut truck off and turn it back on theres no CEL
