I know this has been talked about here before, I have read a lot about this issue, but I am still confused and wanting to settle the process once and for all for myself. So here is what I have.
My current situation is I have my cooler installed, my EGR valve installed, but turned off by my SCT X4.
Here is my current thought process... correct me if what I am saying is wrong please.
So my Delta T's are between 6-8 degrees almost all the time, sometimes reaching 10 degrees when it is really cold out. My engine oil temps are usually around 190-198, my coolant temps are usually between 184-192.
With that said, I think my EGR cooler and oil cooler are good to go. So do you think that it would work for me to put in a EGR valve plug like this: EGR valve eliminator
My thought process about this is that if I just keep the heat (exhaust) out of my EGR cooler then it will not get hot and cause the coolant in the EGR cooler to build up due to cooking. Thus the EGR cooler would not get any worse than it is right now, and would last a long time.
Also I am running CAT-1 ELC coolant with a coolant filtration system that I change the filters on about twice a year. My EGR valve is turned off with my SCT X4 also.
Any information bismic, or anyone else can give would be very helpful, thanks.
