2011-2017 6.7L Ford F250 F350 F450 EGR w/ Coolant Line

Here’s the detailed technical breakdown for the 2011-2017 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke EGR Delete Kit, including critical installation procedures and compliance considerations:

⚠️ 6.7L Power Stroke-Specific Warnings

1. Dual EGR System Alert:

   • These engines use hot-side (high-pressure) + cold-side (low-pressure) EGR

   • Kit must address both circuits to prevent CEL and derate

2. Coolant Flow Critical:

   • EGR cooler handles 40% of coolant circulation to turbo

   • Requires complete coolant bypass to prevent turbo overheating

3. Sensor Dependencies:

   • Retain EGR temperature sensors (fake signals needed)

   • Keep DPF differential pressure sensor connected

🔧 Kit Components & Specifications

🛠️ Professional Installation Guide

Required Tools:
