[rumble13]

whats up guys i'm new to the site and wondering if there is a egr delete kit for my 2002 yukon 5.3, and if there is what would be the best one? thanks

Do our tahoes have an egr valve?

yea, look at the silver cylinder toward the front of the engine on the passenger side. it has a wire on the top of it right next to the air intake

How do you delete/defeat it?

Is this device actually on the intake manifold and right behind the throttle body?

I did the delete on my 300zx (Kind of off subject but still an EGR) car runs about the same......no real performance increases that I can tell. From all the reading I did on my car I understood that the egr works all the way up to 2-2500 rpms then it closes and no longer circulates gases. So I would assume that in theory if one were to delete the egr it would increase the oxygen input and cut out the recirculated gases from the exhaust and give you a stronger pull on idle and in the lower rpm range.....I plan on trying to figure out how to do this on my yukon a little while down the road. I think it could make a difference in mpg since my rpms normally run at around 1800 at 55mph if my memory serves me correct. (but this could just be wishful thinking). If anything I think it is a good thing to delete if one can do it properly....in my eyes it is just one more thing that can go wrong.....

Also....from reading about the 300zx I learned from owners that the EGR likes to get clogged and stick wide open causing the motor to constantly draw gases throughout the entire rpm range....don't see a real engine damaging issue, but I can def see a little performance being robbed if this were to happen.

To block it is easy. I did this when I installed my pacesetter headers. Just cut a piece of metal to cover the flange and weld it on. Orrr drill two holes and screw it down. Had mine done for 5+ years and everything is fine.

the erg is near the air filter on the passenger side, i'll take a pic in the morning and post it...

i'd appreciate it. is that on the 6.0L too?

Our trucks had egr until 03. I did non-egr longtubes and bought a block plug from gm that wasn't very expensive
