LONG LIVE THE 6.4

[@ChaseW26]

Man this project was a bear and a half. Rounded off bolts in tight spots during the delete stage, using 2ft long extensions on the impact to reach impossible bolts. The manhandling of the horizontal egr. To top it off, snapping a bolt head during the install of the final blocking plug. I spent 13 hours the first day and 6 hours the 2nd day because of all these roadblocks. Knowing that my truck will last significantly longer makes it all worth it though

[@ItOttoMatic]

Taylor, hands down your video is the best, THANK YOU for the step by step. After a month of researching here and there your post was spot on. Thanks, Otto

[@adamsj01]

Watched it for my Ford loving brother. I really appreciate all you effort in getting those hard to reach shots. 2 thumbs up!

[@tooelebronco]

Taylor thanks for putting the videos together. I appreciate the help! I also noticed that you've taken the time to respond to some of the questions and comments on your videos. That's awesome that you'd take the time to do that. Keep it up!

[@RobGoffard]

Very Helpful!! Tracking down a coolant leak, replaced the hoses and it looks like it is coming form the EGR horizontal cooler. Your video was easy to follow for removal. Thanks.

[@SSGSINCLAIR]

Fixing to do this real soon on my 2009. I appreciate you doing this video. I will be using it as a guide.

[@25Dleo]

Dude you don't know how much this helps me!! been looking more months for a video even close to this but you cant! thank you very much

[@TaylorSmithAutomotiveChannel]

25Dleo No problem! I'm glad the video is helping some people!

[@Aaronyavcm]

Thank you, Taylor! I'll be deleting mine soon. I appreciate the time you took to make this video for us 👊

[@leviskoko]

Helped me a shit ton, if not for breaking a exhaust manifold bolt I would have been done in 3.5 hours. Awesome video

[@cssensing]

Thanks man! I’m planning on doing this, too, and having a non-factory how-to with the little tips makes these projects so much better!

[@jccaldwell3348]

Yes I will going to be doing that with my 08 F350.

[@DonkeyGap750K3Gixxer]

Thank you-made things go quicker on my customers delete kit I ordered for his truck-now I have to wrestle the cat & dpf out then tune & i can breathe a long sigh of Chaching$$$$$!!!! Great step by step 🤙 video.Thanks again for your time.

[@davidlaing4193]

Awesome work! Just bought an 08 with 44k and appreciate your videos. Thank you sir!

[@bighunterman77]

thanks, helped me greatly.... my only thing was getting the lower cooler off, wound up having to pull the dipstick tube out, then pulled the cooler straight out toward the frame, and went towards firewall and up with the rear, then up with the front till it came out

[@eastoaklandsartiebo-bo6718]

The only thing that sucks is this video wasn’t out when I did my EGR removal in my 6.4L last year this time. Great video and very detailed. Great job!

[@davidfowler7558]

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to record and narrate! Such a UGE help!!!

[@enxxmp]

Thanks for sharing! I've done the DPF delete and disabled the EGR with a tune. I plan on doing this in the next few weeks.

[@amitbhopal]

Disabling EGR substitute removing the egr system completely? What tuner did you use that supports it?

[@coldsteel86]

Nice video, when I had my 6.4l I did my egr delete. I have a 6.7l power stroke now. I did a full delete on it last spring. The EGR was a lot easier to take off. Then the 6.4l.

[@bobbysmoke6.4dzl94]

Thanks Taylor! I’m going to be trading my 07 6.0 in tomorrow for an 09 6.4 and that’s the first thing on my to do list, I saved the video!

[@nate4036]

Bobby If you haven’t done this yet, know you must have a tuner to do it. I’d delete the dpf while you’re at it

[@anthonycantando7255]

Such a helpful video plan on doing this and leaving in the bottom horizontal cooler to prevent the up pipe from breaking or perhaps fabbing up a bracket

[@frostwireless]

Very thorough, if you plan on doing more videos for tuning, performance upgrade tutorials, or any other maintenance tutorials, that would be awesome!

[@garysmith5741]

Awesome video so far. I’m currently doing this same work on my 2008 f-350. I’ve got half way thru the work and your video. So far so good. I subscribed.

[@mm-ny9ey]

6:03 - 6:12 was very helpful. I could not see the lower bolts. Now is will go back out and try to find them. Thanks for the video.

[@TaylorSmithAutomotiveChannel]

NSACREWSIN No problem! It seemed like I had looked for an instructional video forever and never came up with anything either. I'm glad it helped!

[@seathjoyner1997]

Great video man!! I’ve been looking for one for a few months so I could see how it was done for sure other than just looking at a book or pictures...I feel confident now I can knock it out this weekend on my F250

Hey Taylor ur video was great it helped my husband out alot so I was hoping that you could please show us were the other 2 hoses go because your video just shows the 1. Thank u

Great video Taylor, I'm sure it will come in handy when i get around to doing mine.

Great video glad you added the time as I'm doing this for a customer and need to know how much hours to charge.

[@mattkoepp4413]

Great detailed job !! Filmed and explained very well!

[@kevinoneill41]

Great job on that EGR delete did realize the boost. Also, the stock intake was too restrictive and the change filter light kept coming on. So I got a high-performance one. Now everything breaths much better. I can't believe how much better the engine runs and pulls but there is still a slight amount of black smoke on lift-off. I'll live with it for now. Maybe someone has a suggestion to get that under control. It is not obnoxious. But it is noticeable. Thanks, good job.

[@dethray1000]

are you stock power? anything over that will give you smoke but it depends on your foot/pedal power unless your pulling a grade with a trailer

[@juansebastianlopez8828]

[@graysoncallaway4711]

Good video buddy! Most people prob don’t know how to take that fender well out especially with the 450 flares so maybe show them that and the next step with the DPF removal maybe but all in all that’s one great write up man! Pretty much the same way I do them 🤙🏼

I recommend leaving the hard coolant lines installed and get a rubber line to connect the two back together to maintain the original coolant flow. Many of these trucks had flow issues to the heater core with these coolant passages blocked off.

[@dapoutdoors]

Your effort is ABSOLUTELY appreciated 🤜🤛 Question : doesn’t the new intake pipe cause for a failure for the annual vehicle inspection ? Thanks 🙏

[@kevinoneill41]

That was great. I had to go with an after market cold air intake filter. The stock new filter choked the intake so bad that I woud get a replace the air filter warning. I went with the S&B kit. Now she can breathe runs great Keep the tune mild I went with the MinyMax and keep it on tow or street and tune low fuel boost to #2 out of 5 seems to keep the Black smoke down and still lifts off just fine she is a beast. Do not race this engine it will work for a long time. But it will break if you race it.

[@kevinoneill41]

You should jack the cab up as high as possible and block it. Then get that EGR down pipe out of there and reroute the Exhust back pressure censor. I put mine in the middle of the cut off plate now at the top of the up pipe that the EGR down pipe connected to. You should get enough room to work on that Conection of the EGR down pipe to the up pipe at the top back of the engine when you jack the Cabe up just watch you dont start stretching thing. See videos on removing the Cab

[@nate4036]

Mine has 207k. Been Spartan tuned between 210-350hp+ since 102k. Has straight through 5” Flo Pro exhaust, S&B intake, and have yet to do this EGR delete. Of course the Spartan turns off the egr cycles but still concerns me. My engine blow by is minimal and will not even flutter the reservoir cap. This is on a King Ranch F450 with 4.88 gears. Alternator died about 10k miles ago and other than that, it’s been flawless. I feel the 6.4 rumors is just that. Rumors. There’s bad trucks from all brands, but my 6.4 and 6.0 trucks have treated me well. I do have have a cruise control sensor on the master cylinder trying to lay out of work as we speak. I’ll get to that next week.
