Dont you have to change the tune if you delete the EGR? Is this something I can do with the SCT handheld tuner? Has any of you deleted the pcv. That hose that goes on the back of the lower intake looks bad. Its all sucked up looking. Doesnt look like anything could get through it. But the intake was really clean other than the paint flakes. It just seems to me you would be loosing boost through that hole. I saw a thread on svt performance on deleting the PCV. Wasnt to sure about that. I know Im just going on and on. Just have a lot of questions. I'd really like to get it right. So I dont have to worry about it anymore. Thanks for any input.

It all depends on your tuner and weather or not they allow you to make user adjustment to their tune. More than likely you will have to get a new tune for the truck.

I suspected that mine was bad a few months ago b/c I had a lean bank 1&2 code. Randy and I ended up taking off the stock hose and replacing it with a piece of fule hose. IIRC it was 3/8 fuel hose (correct me if Im wrong on the size Randy)

Wade, if you have the XCAL2 or 3 then you should be able to program it with no probs. If not Mike at Unique Tuning in Hilton Head is a SCT dealer, He can tune it on the dyno also. His # is (843)208-DRAG. Hope that helps.

I always install Power steering hose on the lower intake it is really heavy duty and any auto parts store has it. Put a clamp on it and it is good to go. Call me if you have any questions Mitch
