I've ordered my parts to "fix" my truck.

Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction, either on my thread once moved or via PM.

This forum is really great, glad to be here.

Regarding the removal of EGR parts, I plan on not doing that for now; I don't need to "clean" the engine bay.

I don't entertain much in there, LOL.

I may eventually try to install an onboard air compressor in there, so that may be an added benefit from parts removal, we'll see.

I've read on here that people think the EGR cooler may eventually rust, puncture and leak coolant.

Is there anyone on here with a deleted truck that has run the truck leaving the unused parts on for a while after delete with no ill effects?

I really don't want to think this over or spend money unnecessarily.

I know I have a new clutch in my near future I need to deal with, and I cannot tackle that job myself.

TIA!
