    not really, the egr only works when you are cruising on the freeway, shouldnt effect idle or WOT performance. hell your truck might run better with it off and wont need any tuneing.

    eh

    So I got the block off kit on thusday and everything was going smooth untill I was tighting the bolt to the block off plate on the side of the head. I didn't even get to tightin the bolt very much and the threds on the head striped out :(. How good are thos fix a thred things at autozone? Or should I just go to my auto shop and re-tap the threds?
