New trucks with EGR

Whats the general consensus on blocking the EGR on these newer trucks?

I know its illegal, but ayy we all know what goes on in the industry with modifications. Usually in the speed limiter department.

I cant imagine that these newer motors can do the kind of hours/miles that the older ones did. Not with all that crap being pumped back through its guts.

Is it a case of leave it alone, or do people actually tamper with them?

I think any tampering would see the motor de rate or the fancy muffler block up with crap. Are you having problems related to the EGR system ?

Nah, was just wondering as its very common on vehicles.

Big gains to be had too if you can get around the computer detecting its not operating.

More trouble then its worth EGR.

AdBlue claims to be better, but wouldnt it get costly after a few miles?

Heree's a bit of info on deleting EGR on an ISX/SIG.

If you search this forum you'll find how to do various other brands

Guys
might have 2 remind U
th@ tamper n with the speed control or any of the compooter crap BS

The EGR can be an absolute pain, our new firetruck (in SACFS, an Isuzu FTS 800 crew 4x4) has it, and a diesel particulate diffuser, and when it wants to regen, you gotta wait for it. More annoying when on the fireground, you can only drive over burnt ground, and slowly -_-
It would seem that it would be pretty hard to remove it or stop it in any way

that sounds like an OH&S issue to me

A chap was in our yard a while back with a new Isuzu council truck with the re-gen system on it. I remarked how that he wouldn't want to park in dry grass when it was burning out the particulate filter, the whole system was in a mesh frame about a foot off the ground. That is when he told me about the new CFS trucks. I have never heard of anything so stupid, what happens if they are trying to stop a fire in a six foot wheat crop and it decides to re-gen? I said to him, they will be lighting up more fires as they are trying to put them out.

RnR.

Would have to say, give fire trucks a blanket approval to run at Euro 4 (the old standard) until better technology is developed. One bushfire is going to put out more CO, NOX and PM than all the firetrucks in the world together.

Pete, it isn't actually that hard, Kenworth can mount those particulate filters vertically, so you would think the Japs could figure it out and do the same.

They do get extremly hot. I suppose once they've lost a couple of trucks the CFA will change the tender for the next lot.
