EGR DELETE LEAK?

Sooter6.7 · Jun 20, 2015

Okay guys so I have installed mikes no limit EGR delete and I went to start it up for the first time and I have a leak on the biggest plate. Why is that there and what did I do to make it leak? It's leaking threw the little black hole.

It has an o ring. It's a bleed port. Tighten it. If it's tight and still leaking you need to inspect the o ring and possibly replace if it has gotten damaged.

That black plug is to vent air out of the system. It has a rubber o-ring on it. Tighten it up until the leak stops. If the leak doesn't stop check the o-ring for damage.
Perhaps you should use a mechanic in the future for basic mods like this? No disrespect but it seems like you may not have a lot of experience behind a wrench and you don't want to mess up something as expensive as your truck.

No man I get where your coming from it's just a first for everything. I'm new diesels in general and making these modifications is all a first so I'm just glad I can come here and ask questions. I'd rather ask and be aware then to not ask and screw something up.
