Caterpillar EGR Delete

Though the EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation, system has good intentions, the fact remains that this component can do more harm than good to Caterpillar diesel engines. Fitting to the name, the EGR recirculates exhaust emissions back into the engine through the air intakes. It’s designed to reduce emissions, which is a good thing, but it has a tendency to really take its toll on diesel engines. This is because when it recirculates these emissions back through the engine, carbon deposits can accumulate, potentially damaging cylinders, leading to engine overheating and even premature engine wear. When it comes to driving a truck or managing a fleet, an engine that’s down for repair is costing you money – not making you money.

The good news is that deleting the EGR is possible – and you’ll notice an immediate improvement in performance and engine efficiency after this is completed. At Diesel Spec, we’re proud to perform EGR delete on more diesel engine brands and models than anyone else, and this includes Caterpillar’s line of diesel engines.

Benefits of EGR Delete?

Like we said in the opening, the EGR is a very problematic component for medium and heavy duty vehicles, so eliminating it will also eliminate many of the problems often associated with it. From a long-term perspective, this should permit a savings on engine repair and also on potential engine replacement in the event of premature failure. But deleting the EGR is also associated with a variety of other benefits, such as:

  • Improved engine performance and response: Improved engine response is usually one key performance attribute that an EGR delete impacts. Additionally, the engine will continue to run clean and free of carbon deposits, which helps it run better.
  • Improved engine efficiency: Though the EGR is designed to reduce exhaust emissions, you could say that it makes up for this environmental benefit by causing engines to run less efficiently. Hence, deleting the EGR usually leads to an improvement in fuel efficiency. If you’re managing a fleet of vehicles, you already know that fuel is one of your biggest overhead costs. Hence, improving fuel efficiency – even moderately – can go a long way.
  • Cost savings: Just because it’s worth mentioning again, you can recoup the cost of deleting the EGR through all of the repair costs you won’t likely be paying in the future.
