Yes i will have a video up soon of all the mods coming for the 98! Lastest video- • Video Instagram- www.instagram.... Snapchat- Chevy-duramax13 Son Artist- / ther4c2010
When I got my custom exhaust put on, I did run with egr hooked up, but hose was capped as there was no connection on the long tubes which I expected. I did not have a 411 pcm swap done and still don't, but a few months later after the egr valve not being hooked up to the headers, decided to get it put back on because didn't quite like the gas mileage because I don't have a tune to tune out the egr. I did lose just a tiny bit putting it back in, but gained back significant mpg which I am happy with as long as I stay off the throttle. It ran beautifully without the egr hooked up, just got tired of seeing the money light and wanted my mpg back.
I have 288 K on my 98 Silverado it doesn't leak and runs like a swiss watch I keep the maintenance up on it but I think it is got that many miles because it's stock except for the Spider injector upgrade costed me over $300 and a new fuel pump the original fuel pump and spider injectors worked fine I just thought it would be good to freshen up this Workhorse no oil leaks I still get 16 Mi to the gallon and it's the best truck I've ever owned never really had anything go wrong other than a water pump and alternator battery Etc
Great video man but why don’t you do a time lapse of you actually doing what you’re doing instead of always bringing us back! But great content man keep it up 💪🏽
Get some packaging material or cardboard and shove it in that little area near the EGR port. The gasket on mine accidentally slipped down into the pulley area as well.
@@BernieSands-qr4sc Mines blocked off. But I also am running a aftermarket exhaust system with deleted cats and headers. No problem with ecu. If you are doing this in more of a “stock” application I’d say yes on ecu
Had a power steering hose leak once. But surprisingly no leaks from the engine(1998 130K miles, K2500 4WD, 5.7 Vortec). I did have to replace the intake manifold gaskets back in 2016. Water filled up the oil pan all the way to the crankshaft. Apparently there was a flaw in the 5.7 vortec engine intake gaskets back then. All good now. It's amazing how an engine behaves full of oil and water. I thank my lucky stars I know how to fix cars.
I have a 95 chevy van 305 engine and its all stock except no cat.i have no emissions in my state, would removing the EGR damage my engine? some say it will
@TheGMMan I'm hoping I just got the vehical for my new build and plane on doing some build and maintenance videos I recently gave a young student living in there car a break with my van as I had to give up van life temporary for medical and got the burban as my new adventure and possable home on wheels.i happen to have a cap n rotor I'll try replacing it soon after the snow storm quits. I'll post video let you know how it goes if that made any changed a p1351 high voltage on the ignition control circut
I deleted mine and have Vacuum issues. Here is what I've learned: 1. If your Car is a Carburetor Type = YES DELETE IT 2. If your Car is an Auto Fuel Injector(s) = NO DO NOT DELETE IT

Hey man I have a 98 k2500 5.7. It cuts in and out stalls or struggles bad to even idle or stay running. Acts like it's out of time but it comes out of it and runs amazing full power. Then just either struggles and pops back fires hear knocking after a min or so of it doing it it comes out of it sometimes it stalls so.etines it dont but I can always start it right back up i have knew fuel pump knew lines filter and intake manifold. Knew 240 amp alt 2 batterys. Also see voltege drop alot when it dose this. Its beyond me. Yesterday when it acted up it tripped a code po108. I cleaned a few things and erased code to see if it would come back. Truck still acts up but no code yet. Makes no sence becouse it will run amazing so it cant me mechanical right?
I would start by cleaning mass air flow sensor and the throttle body. Also check spark plugs and the wires. Make sure the distributor cap and rotor aren't damaged
@@TheGMMan thank you I'm heading out to mess with it know it's been brutal the past cpl days we got a 21 inch snow storm. Plow broke finely got that going and truck dies smh losing my shirt on this one but thanks for responding man!!

My cold air intake is a spectra. And when you delete the EGR it allows the engine to run at a cooler temp because the exhaust gas isn't being returned back into the motor.
@@TheGMMan The EGR valve (when open) cools combustion temperatures. This is because most of the oxygen is depleted from combustion that flows thru it. You will get the best power and milage with the stock fuel and ignition systems leaving the emissions completely intact .no check light. Otherwise its just gonna run rich and retarded. Also it's not a cold air intake if it gets air from inside the engine bay. The factory original was already a cool air intake and you deleted it. Hope this helps. thanks for posting
@@TheGMMan I reset mine but it still comes back randomly from time to time. I have a bluetooth EBD2 reader and just delete it when it pops up but it happens almost daily. I installed new OEM looking headers that actually came with the block off cap for the header egr port. Since it had that cap I also capped off the EGR intake manifold inlet area with another cap I had in my tool box. It's amazing how much carbon the EGR injects into our motors. This system might improve the emissions at the pipe but it RUINS the motor by clogging it with carbon. The idiot above talking about "real mechanic" doesn't know what improves engines performance. If we didn't have emissions NAZI's our engines would make more power, run longer and cleaner. But that's the World we live in.
You misunderstand the EGR's function or it has been misrepresented to you. The EGR puts exhaust gas back into the intake stream. This isn't to burn "unburned gas" - the exhaust gas is mostly inert. The idea is that this inert gas helps cool the combustion chamber, preventing detonation (spark knock/ping.) It allows for a more aggressive timing curve on the specified grade of fuel (regular, in your truck's example.) If you delete it, your tune will need to compensate for that in terms of the timing curve. It's something any good tuner already understands. If you delete it and don't make any change in the tune, you will have pinging, which will eventually destroy the engine. It hammers the shit out of the bearings and can damage pistons.
And that being said my truck is a BUILT 350(355) has headers true dual exhaust. It doesn't hurt the motor I asked 3 mechanics before doing it. Why do diesels do EGR deletes then?🤔
Egr systems have been known to cause serious issues in an engine, including stuck valves, coolant problems, and leaky cylinders. An egr delete kit removes the egr system and allows a vehicle's engine to run at cooler temperatures.
@@TheGMMan You have to go into the ECM through the Diagnostic port under the dash and deprogram(turn it off) the EGR setting in the ECM or otherwise you'll continue to throw CEL codes for the EGR.

The oil leak that I've seen most often on 350's is right at the oil filter adapter. It's a easy and cheap fix
A lot of time your oil leak is coming from the oil filter adapter. Cheap and easy fix
I did AC delete, lightweight pulleys, headers, cat delete, true dual straight piped, full cold air intake, bigger cam, EGR delete, chipped ECU
Nice! I had mine fully built spent 4k on the motor. Makes some good power need to change my collector gaskets

No reason to
What headers did u use? Long tube headers or shorties?
Long tube ordered off of Summitracing
The egr is on the intake right.
Pressure wash that engine bro, don't be scared... What headers you got? Nice build mane..
Headmen
How is the delete ? Did it throw codes or change opperational parameters?
Perfect! I have exhaust and other modes to help but no codes

I would go back to that shop and ask them about the leak. I have a 99’ Tahoe with 120k and has no leaks
What do you do with the plug for the egr? Does the truck not car that it's not plugged in.
No it tosses a Check Engine code but all the forms I've read said it doesn't do anything
Does it run better?
Yes but I have headers on mine now
Also why can't you just make a plate and install it between the valve and the intake? Then not have to screw around with capping everything off.
What about it passing a smog check? Or are you in a relaxed state?
Indiana no test at all
looky u 😉🤙

Is it possible to leave the EGR in I can't get it out and just block the vacuum port an vacuum line
Yes you could do that if you swapped to run headers like I did on mine, I would see why you have a problem
What about the map sensor not getting a reading from the egr now
Haven’t had a single problem
