Installation Procedure

  1. Step 1:
    Disconnect the battery.
  2. Step 2:
    Remove (x4) bolts holding the top plastic cover on using an 8mm socket. Pull the dipstick out and proceed to take the cover off. Once you have removed the top cover put the dipstick back into place to ensure no debris falls down the tube.
  3. Step 3:
    Go ahead and disconnect the connectors from the EGR valve and temperature sensor.
  4. Step 4:
    Once the EGR is disconnected, remove (x4) bolts holding the EGR Valve on top of the intake horn using a 10mm socket.
  5. Step 5:
    Next, is (1x) One 8mm bolt directly in-line with the oil cap in between the EGR cross over the tube and the radiator hose.
  6. Step 6:
    Using a 11mm deep socket, remove the v-band clamps on both sides of the EGR crossover pipe.
  7. Step 7:
    Remove the EGR Valve plus crossover tube and set it aside, make sure you don't let the metal round tube gasket fall off.
  8. Step 8:
    Clean off the surface where the EGR valve was sitting. Make sure you don't let the gasket material fall into the intake horn!
  9. Step 9:
    Once the surface is as clean as possible, place both new gaskets on with the larger Aluminum anodized plate using the socket head bolts provided.
  10. Step 10:
    Install the Plate with M8 bolts and washers.
  11. Step 11:
    Unplug the BROWN Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor
    NOTE: 2008-2012 Trucks will have this sensor on the Thermostat Housing and it can be left alone.
  12. Step 12:
    Unplug the Black Plug off the EGR Cooler Servo Assembly.
  13. Step 13:
    Use your pliers to remove the hose clamp from the crankcase vent on the valve cover. Unbolt the tube from the side of the EGR and save the piping.
  14. Step 14:
    Use your 10mm to remove the nuts from the front of the EGR Cooler Assembly that hold the heatshield.
  15. Step 15:
    Using a 10mm socket, remove the heatshield bolts that sit under the cooler on the passenger side of your engine bay.
  16. Step 16:
    Remove the remaining heatshield bolts using an 8mm socket.
  17. Step 17:
    Remove the two (x2) 15mm nuts holding the Front of the EGR to the exhaust manifold.
  18. Step 18:
    Remove the two (x2) 10mm bolts between the EGR and the Valve Cover that hold the bracket for the Bypass Valve down. Remove the three (x3) bolts on the other side of the EGR Cooler. Pull off the Bypass Valve Assembly including the front section of the cooler plumbing.
  19. Step 19:
    Now you can get the 15mm nuts that you had saved to put on the supplied small steel plate and tighten.
  20. Step 20:
    Unbolt the four (x4) 10mm bolts and two (x2) 15mm nuts that hold down the EGR Cooler.
    NOTE: On the back left side, use a pry bar to get the transmission dipstick tube hold-down off (68RFE Automatics Only)
    **At this time, make sure you have a drain pan under the turbo on the passenger side! It's about to get messy. 2009-2012 Trucks you can drain the coolant. 13+ trucks are tougher so it's easier to just top up after (about 1/2 Liter)
  21. Step 21:
    Pull the Coolant Line/Tube out of the cooler and pull the cooler out.
  22. Step 22:
    Now you're ready to install the second larger Steel Plate. If you have a pyrometer, you can install the bung on the plate and install your pyro. If not, just make sure you install the 1/8" NPT plug snug in place.
  23. Step 23:
    Remove the two (x2) 13mm bolts to pull the bracket off and remove the bracket.
    IF YOU HAVE SPELAB VALVE COVER, YOU CAN SKIP STEP 24-26
  24. Step 24:
    Use a 1" Wrench to take out the Coolant Nipple that threads into the head. Once out, quickly install the 1/2" NPT Plug in its place (WITH Teflon Tape).
  25. Step 25:
    Grab the Coolant Nipple you removed in the last step and remove the O-Ring and put Teflon Tape on the threads and have it ready to place into the plug you are removing in the next step.
  26. Step 26:
    Pull out the rear plug (directly behind the nipple you just removed) with a 3/8" ratchet and thread in the Coolant Nipple and tighten it up. Coolant will come spilling out very quickly so be prepared.
  27. Step 27:
    Grab the supplied aluminum hose adapter, lube it up and press it into the coolant line. Get out your Bracket and attach it to hose adapter.
  28. Step 28:
    Install the bracket with the bolts, washers and nuts. (Bolt up the transmission dipstick to the top of the bracket using a 1/4" bolt and nut.)
    NOTE: All the years of trucks have different things bolted to this bracket, but use the 5/16" bolts to connect the backpressure tube (2008-2012) and anything else that lines up.
  29. Step 29:
    Grab the supplied Silicone Hose and lube up the shorter end and slide it onto the coolant nipple (it's tight) with a hose clamp (you may want to hold it in there first in-case you want to cut a bit off the shorter end). Then, line up the hose to the aluminum hose adapter to see how much you'll need for the other side.
  30. Step 30:
    Cut the Silicone Hose to size, lube it up, slide it onto the hose adapter, and tighten up your hose clamps. Make sure you keep the end you cut off!
  31. Step 31:
    Plug in the Brown Back Pressure Sensor (13+ Trucks Only) and tie up the EGR pigtails cleanly to the brown one.
  32. Step 32:
    Use the trimmed end of the hose you cut earlier and cut a piece about 7" long to replace the Crankcase Vent Hose between the Tube and the Valve Cover.
  33. Step 33:
    Make sure you unplug the throttle valve on the rear of the Intake Horn by the EGR VALVE plate.
  34. Step 34:
    Make sure you tie up any loose wires you have left unplugged and refill coolant.
