Today we’re gon na do something kind of simple, but there’s a few videos out there, but i haven’t seen one done in a while. So what we’re gon na do is we’re gon na. Do the egr removal off of a truck that’s already been deleted, uh not deleted. I guess you could say tuned with an exhaust, so got a buddy chance he’s coming over um. I think he’s got.
I forget the year, but it’s a fourth gen, but he’s gon na come over we’re gon na remove all the stuff off the top of the motor clean it up with some block off plates, and things like that. So hopefully you guys enjoyed this video, so stay tuned and we’ll get it knocked out. Guys sorry for the wind noise, but chance just showed up uh here’s his ram 2500 nice uh, i think it’s just sitting stock height, looks very clean love. The color um we’re starting to knock out the egr delete and if you look up here pretty much, the only things we’ve done is remove the intake so far and then the engine cover next thing. We’Re going to do is be removing the egr.
I guess valve itself: unplug all the connectors get this crossover tube and then slowly start taking this. This thing apart over here, the egr cooler we’re going to let it we’re doing everything we can without breaking into the system um. So we don’t have to mess with the coolant um just yet because he just did drive over here so letting that cool down as long as possible before we crack into that and go from there all right guys. A little update. We got the uh egr valve off, trying to remove this tubing right now.

There’S an eight millimeter bolt, that’s under here that holds this clip on this tube will come out and then we’ll start tackling that side. So i’m about to go clean. This up scrape all the old gasket off and then put the blocker blade back on and be done with that side. We’Re still gon na do a throttle valve, but we’ll get there in a second all right, guys we’re making progress um. So i haven’t put the cover on the egr or the uh intake horn, yet, but we’re trying to get those back 15 millimeter bolts that are all the way in the back that hold the uh egr cooler to the manifold.
So we got a lot of the miscellaneous equipment removed from the front chance of still reaching back there trying to grab it. We’Re to the step. Now we actually have to break into the radiator coolant, actually break open the system, so we can remove the the egr cooler. But if you look over here, here’s a lot of our parts that we had removed. Here’S the control valve for the egr itself, there’s the flapper valve that goes on top of the intake, but so far so good making progress all right.
So we got the block off plates and we’re removing the plate that actually holds the egr cooler itself got the back uh plate in as well. We reuse the 15 millimeter nuts that go on it. I’M finally going to get over here and clean this up with a vacuum and a razor blade and stick the block off plate on there. Then we’re going to work on the throttle valve put all of our new hosing back on should be done all right. Little update, i got the uh intake horn cover on still haven’t messed with the throttle valve, yet we’re having problems with the bracket getting that lined up to where exactly it needs to go.
So that’s kind of what we’re doing right now, all right chance and i were getting our asses kicked or excuse me – excuse the language. Sorry i’ll get. Our butts kicked we’re trying to get this bracket where we’re figuring out where it goes, but we determined that you’re supposed to pull that bolt out where’s that piece that goes in this place up there see that this piece right here replaces the uh manifold bolt, and This screws into the block to tighten this down and then the bracket itself bear with me guys the bracket itself bolts into it like this and it stabilizes the back end of this bracket. Your coolant pipe goes here. Your transmission dipstick goes here, and that should pretty much take care of that all right about wrapping everything up on this end he’s trying to get that clamp.
The band clamp around that uh fitting coming out of the motor in the heat computer. Well, that’s not even the heater quarter turn that’s just the cooling riser that goes into the block. Wrapping that up we’ll tighten all the bolts on this bracket and this side will be done so that bracket can be a pain in the butt, sometimes just trying to line it up and do everything. And what we do is what we did was just put everything in there loosely and i think we’ll start from the transmission dipstick and then work our way forward. Tightening up everything so also doing the ccv delete pipe, not the actual ventilation filter.
We’Re not going to gut that we’re just doing the pipe here and we’re going to put a cover on the intake tube down by the turbo, all right, so everything’s wrapped up. You guys can see we got everything tightened on this side. Everything looks good. We got our exhaust uh back pressure installed. We had to take it out to maneuver that bracket, but we got everything squared away on that aspect.
We got everything tightened down, we’re going to go to the napa or somewhere and try to find a boot a female end to go over the boot end. That goes into the intake down here for your ccv, so we’re gon na go, find that decided not to go with uh install the throttle valve um. It’S just to me more than anything. It’S aesthetics. This throttle valve stays in the open position when you delete it.
Just unplug it and you leave it. I had no problems with mine for the you know, five to ten five about five thousand miles. I had my truck just deleted um when you get a new intake horn like a pusher, a banks or whatever the case may be. It gets rid of all of this anyway, and it doesn’t even matter so all right about the starter up. For the first time.
Do a little leak check, everything sounds good, looks good, all right, guys, that’s pretty much! Gon na wrap up today’s video. We got the egr stuff, all removed the egr cooler, the egr valve the piping. That goes around there, everything else that goes with the egr. So probably the quickest i’ve ever done, it probably got it done about two and a half hours, there’s some tips and tricks to do it.
I tried to tell you guys much as i can in the video one thing i don’t know if i mentioned was pulling the egr cooler out itself, getting those back two bolts, those 15 millimeters off. Once you get those off, you have to to raise the egr cooler, push it towards the firewall to get it out of the front plug the coolant riser there in the front, and then that comes out once that’s out. Everything else is pretty painless, so um just getting that big portion out you’re gon na spill, some coolant. It is what it is just be careful with it um, but once that’s out it’s pretty much downhill from there. So yeah.
I just wanted to show you guys that i wasn’t, it was wasn’t able to do it on my truck before you know it’s before i had my youtube channel, but very simple, easy process. One other thing i want to, let you guys know about was we are doing a live stream. It’S going to be myself everything, diesel and steve over at beast projects, we’re going to do a live stream on everything diesel’s channel at 6 p.m, eastern standard time, so, 5 p.m.
My time, local here in oklahoma, we’re going to sit down and have a chat, discuss a few things and uh. You guys should head over there and join us. It’S going to be a good time, good experience and the more uh participation we have from you guys. The funeral it’s going to be the last year, it’s going to the longer it’s gon na last. So once again, i appreciate you guys watching you guys are awesome.
Keep subscribing, keep liking, keep commenting and make sure you turn on the notification bell until the next time. We’Ll see you guys on the next upload, take care.
