Default Best EGR Delete Kit for 2006 Chevy Duramax?

Hey everyone,

I’m considering an EGR delete kit to improve performance and reduce soot buildup on my truck. After doing some research, I’m focusing on the 2006 Chevy Duramax EGR delete kit options available.

I’ve seen various kits online but want to make sure I pick one that’s reliable, easy to install, and doesn’t cause check engine lights or other issues. Has anyone here installed an EGR delete kit on their 2006 Duramax?

Which brand or kit did you use? Any tips or pitfalls to watch out for during installation?

Appreciate any feedback or recommendations!

Hi. So, did you find the removal kit? Thing is, I need to do that too.

The first thing I’d check is the dimmer switch—it’s easy to accidentally turn it all the way down, especially if you’re not familiar with the car yet. It’s usually near the headlight controls, so give that a quick adjustment and see if the lights come back. If that’s not it, the next step would be to check the fuse for the instrument panel lights. A blown fuse is a common culprit and an easy fix. Just pop open the fuse box (your owner’s manual will show you where it is) and replace the fuse if needed.

If that’s not it, the next step would be to check the fuse for the instrument panel lights and consider the l5p delete cost if you’re diagnosing broader electrical issues.

thank you so much for your suggestion
