When removing the EGR bolts on the manifold side, do it like this and you'll have a very high success rate. #1 go drive the truck like it's stolen to get the exhaust manifold very hot, #2 spray the bolts with a penetrant until a layer of it can stay on the manifold and bolts without burning off, keep spraying penetrant over the next ten minutes to maintain thin layer around the two bolts. After 15 minutes of cooling, "It should still be pretty hot" it will have pulled enough of the penetrant into the threads to now remove the bolts. Do not try removing bolts on a cold exhaust manifold they will seize and break. If you have a bolt get slightly tighter when you start removing, stop immediately and spray more penetrant then gently run it back in. This is not a race, your goal is to get penetrant on the threads to prevent galling. Repeat the back and forth, in and out adding penetrant until the bolt comes all the way out. 90% of these trucks will have no issue and the bolts will come out smooth if you follow what I said. Also when removing any of the turbo V band clamps, heat them with MAP gas and they will pop right off with a light tap. Heat is your friend with anything on the exhaust.

You can take one of the front sensors out of the exhaust and place it in the block plate to monitor your egts.

I lost track of how many sensors there were on that entire exhaust system. That's insane!

Could you undo your battery so the cooler don’t spark. Or is there a reason why the battery wire stays connected. Other than that great video.

Did the BDX tune and now im not showing 6th gear or shifting into it. Everything is great until 60 mph then its a dog. Do i just need to drive it until everything gets relearned? 2019 f350 6.7

What if you removed the EGR and installed the block off plates before installing the tune???

@darkirondieselАй бұрын
I’ve never ever heard of that happening. I’d make sure all your wiring is good and you didn’t nick any wires under the truck. If you have the ez lynk load a stock tune on and see if your blinkers and tailgate works again to eliminate it as a tuning issue.

i have a question i hope someone answers me please, i just deleted my 2017 L5P, been having issues with tune first my 4x4 wasn't working the guy flashed it it kinda fixed but my glow plugs are not working, or atleast my glow plug light doesn't turn on, anyone knows anything about it ? any experience ?
@jakewilson24Ай бұрын
I’m pretty sure the glow plug light won’t turn on unless your truck senses it’s cold enough to activate them. I usually remote start my 2017 so I guess I haven’t paid much attention, but I know that after I run errands and turn my truck back on when I come back the glow plug light isn’t on (probably from the truck being warmed up already). If it’s colder already where your at, then this probably isn’t helpful info

Hey efi live doesn’t offer support for powerstrokes so you gotta go with BDX or EZ Lynk (I recommend ez lynk)
