Thanks again for this video it was very very helpful! I just finished up the delete on my day cab which went very smooth and it was all thanks to this video. Unfortunately I did not have the time to ship my computer or wait for parts from VP unlimited so I had someone local reprogram the computer and I made my own block off plates. And just yesterday I tore apart my other truck to do the delete on that one as well.
My butterfly valves were broken inside the EGR valve on the back (hot side) of the EGR. I found all but 1 piece of them. They beat up the tubes of the EGR and coolant was leaking back into the exhaust. I tried to grind the beat up tubes down some so the block plate would sit flat. I did the best I could and was a little surprised that it didn't leak afterwards. I was lucky because the exhaust manifolds on this truck were not solid. They both had the flexible braided steel couplings on them which allowed me to install the thin blocking plates in them without removing them. I could not get the bolts removed from one of the exhaust manifolds, (the far back one) so i installed it at the front of the EGR valve. I left all of the components installed. I was only able to do this because of the flexible manifolds. All of the coolant lines were left installed as well. The front side block plates were pretty easy though. When the valves broke on this truck the electric motor that controls them was stuck on and the wires that power it were fried all the way back to the wiring harness and some other wires were burnt. Someone was lucky this truck did not burn to the ground. I sure wish I would have found that one lost piece of butterfly valve.
The truck I bought already has a dpf delete and tune but they didn't do the egr. Should I still go get it tuned after I plate off the egr or do you think its good for now?
I just got a prostar that runs fine but looses coolant after 100 miles through the exauhst. So I’m going to block the cooler off. I noticed you dealt with your manifold. Is that because yours was just cracked? So i don’t have to do the manifold part if I’m just blocking it off? Ecm has to be tuned to run it after the block off ?? My truck doesn’t have def from manufacture idk if that matters.
The maxxforce didn't come with def just the N13 and A26. Yes the manifold was replaced because it was cracked. Remove the egr valve and cap both sides of the egr cooler and have the ecm tuned. That truck will treat you good 👍🏻
I'm confused on what your saying to do with the coolant line in the front after removing the hard tube section and running it back to the radiator reservoir. Could you explain in detail. Thanks
I will try. The fitting on the front of the egr cooler, that line runs to the egr valve. Then another line is the return from the egr valve to the coolant reservoir. So when you remove the egr valve there is no need for that line. So just go from the fitting on the egr cooler straight to the reservoir. If you still can't figure it out send me an email and I will make a video of it and send it to you. Alecamy3@gmail.com
Hey I have a question about a maxforce 13 delete! When I'm Idoling overnight It will pressurize the cooling system and below out in antifreeze. Seeing if you know why this would be happening.
It's pretty difficult to remove considering the heater hoses and coolant manifold at the back of the engine. If you cap both sides it becomes nothing more than an extra coolant tank.
Alex, with this delete method the EGR cooler cores need to stay intact and still circulate coolant right? Is there a way to completely bypass the EGR cooler cores? Mine are busted due to turbo and exhaust back pressure from a hack job mechanic not understanding how to delete the Maxforce 13

No. Still several issues with the maxxforce engine it's self. Was never built to last. Made it to 909k miles before shitting the bed. But hey it was a 10k truck that made me a ton of money.

Thinking of doing this to mine but just wanted to run an idea by you first. What if I leave everything in place and place 2 block plates at the egr valve? Is this the same as removing everything and placing 3 plates?
I'm not a fan of leaving the stuff in place. You can't see the egr valve from under the hood anyways. Just my take on it. If you're gonna delete it the dumpster is where the stuff should go
Regardless of authority, having your own equipment deleted , will companies even check this type of stuff when you’re leasing on? Is there anyway to delete and hide it with new stock parts ?
@antoniomiles2973 you're not understanding. If you have your own authority, you don't lease on to another company. If you just own the truck each company will be different. If they plug into the ecm it is obvious if it's deleted or not
@antoniomiles2973 I don't see any reason to do that. The 1st 90 days can be rough, and then the doors start opening up. You have to carry insurance anyway for it "season" so you'll be paying double the Insurance. If you're gonna do just jump in and go. Call the shots and make the moves. I run Monday to Friday on an average of 1800 miles a week with $5300 gross and $3450 net. With the state of the economy I say that's pretty good. It al depends if you wanna be an entrepreneur or not
Alec question once you get all this stuff removed how you go about emissions Do you get more power ? How about mileage? I herd some people get overheating problems thank you great video keep up the great work
If you remove everything and use a reputable tuner you won't have those problems. If you use a hack job you will have all kinds of problems. Had the power set at 515/1850 and it pulls very well. Mileage varies with load and speed.
@@alecburril3433 I wish you’d just give numbers, that doesn’t help anyone. I appreciate the vids and taking time to reply, but people would Iike numbers.

@@user-ln7of9gs4s lol numbers depend on the driver, speed, part of the country, Load. It's not a one size fits all answer. 3.5 is terrible but this truck never got over 6. But I had enough power to make it somewhat ok
I did delete mine in Marion IN, a place called "pocket" something. They did literally a horrible job. My truck used to be super awesome, but I was inexperienced and deleted it by thinking that this will prevent bad things to come. Anyway, after a year truck died completely and throughout a year it kept constantly losing power and finally it wont run over 30-35mph!!! I loved that truck so much and after 4 yrs still I havent sold it, it still sitting in the yard and I am paying parking for it. I dont know even where to take it and check it out, since dealerships wont deal with deleted emission trucks. One more thing to specify is that I did change the oil right before it died, and after 400 miles the oil got so thick and dark black colored, any idea anybody what this might have cause this ? Good luck to everybody deleting them, but I am just so afraid doing it again. Peace out there ✌️🤘
I didn't either but i think I should have. I have only ran the truck a little but it is not leaking at all. When I got to this point I was exhausted and it was getting dark.
On the drivers side of the engine you show two lines that you said you modified exhaust block off plates. @2:47 is that needed to be modified? Deleting this truck for a friend and not currently near the truck.
@avenged06x yes the 2 lines you are talking about are where the exhaust exits the egr cooler and goes into the intake manifold. The reason you block those is either the egr cooler is already leaking or when it does leak the coolant can't get into the intake. Essentially makes the egr cooler and coolant tank and prevents harm to the engine. I used heat and broke all bolts loose by hand
Hey Alec, appreciate your response. I've called the dealer and they claim this is the Maxxforce 13. My EGR valve appears to only be 6 bolts. Yours appears to be 8. Am I missing something here? Can I email you a picture?

Hi, i been charged by local mechanics for egr delete twice. One mechanic put plates at front of egr cooler but not as shown by you in video. They charge me for programming my ecu. Still loosing power and boost after driving like 10 mins
@@alecburril3433 I ordered the plates on Monday and received them today. Sent my ECM to 3K Calibrations on Tuesday and I'll be in tomorrow. Can't wait... What did you do to break loose the egr valve from the cooler?
@@Cracker0309 make sure you got the bolts from the front side that thread into the valve, then a pry bar through the valve and work it up and down and it'll come loose. Let me know how you like it when it's all done
@@alecburril3433 I finally got the install finished a couple day's ago. I drove it for the first time yesterday. I noticed a few things that concern me. One thing is when I take off or even rev it up parked, it'll start to miss a little and doesn't have that much power. The other is my oil pressure. At idle is around 20 psi but when driving it stays around 80psi +. I'm not sure if this will effect anything but i'm thinking that maybe I have a sensor either still plugged in from the egr cooler or one not plugged in. I do have the EGRT sensor still plugged into the EGR module cover that's next to the EGR outlet tubes in the front. I also have everything unplugged that goes to the DPF filter. As far as my exhaust goes, I removed the DPF filter, gutted out the DOC and installed the down pipe to the DOC to make it look like I still have the DPF filter installed. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

She is a pulling machine.
Hello sir nice video I’m trying to delete my maxxforce dt if possible just drill out the dpf and the doc or is better to install a straight pipe? Because in this box truck the dpf is visible
Either way is fine
@@alecburril3433 ok and do you know where I can buy the parts for block the egr or I have to make my own parts?
@@juangomez8186 you'll probably have to make your own for that engine
@@alecburril3433 ok than you
Can I put a series 60 turbo on a maxxforce 13?
Yes. Tuning will be your issue. The adapter is reasonably priced
Anybody knows what happens if you delete the truck without getting it tuned?
It will derate
i am vietnamese, this problem is not good. overheating. oil loss. engine weakness. related to ecm
DOT ever mess with you? Thinking about doing mine.
DOT doesn't care about emissions in most places. Passed 2 level 1 inspections after delete was done
Can you please get me part numbers for the plate kits,and where I can send the ecm
The link for the plates is in the description. 3k calibrations for the ecm work
What’s the name of the Orange sealer with the plates?
High temp rtv
is it passible to take whole egr cooler out and drive without it?
Yes, but it looks very tacky. I’ve seen people use pcv pipe lol. You definitely won’t pass a visual check
How come I can't see any of your replies?
Who did you send the ECM to for tuning?
@@thomashall6878 3k calibrations
I did my delete and the guy only put a stopper in the flex hose he didn't move no fuel lines or coolant lines what do you think he was a international tech for 15 years
My theory is the parts cannot be a problem if they are not there
@@alecburril3433 if I take off the EGR supply line and cap it, there will be no coolant in the EGR or down to the doser valve correct? If so do you happen to know which one is the EGR supply line
How do you reprogram the ecm with no dpf stuff?
Send it out and have it done by a reputable tuner
My maxxforce13 egr delete was done before I bought it. but I can’t get the lights to turn off on the dash. What’s your take on it?
What lights are on?
Abs, traction control, transmission, and the engine and air pressure, fuel and voltage gauges work sporadically. Also when those lights are on the engine brake is always on. The last mechanic said there wastegate fault of some sort and cruise doesn’t work but will high idle in park
@@xl_shots_3970 I don't think that is anything to do with the delete tuning. Sounds like a fault with the body control module and abs moduel.
@@alecburril3433 body control module has been replaced and it reads abs module and electrical fault on the dash as well.
@@xl_shots_3970 Did you figure why your lights were on after the deletion? Having the same issue.
Any idea how to fix the code spn 731 fmi16
Engine shuts down thinking acceleration is too much
Any other codes? Generally an over fuel condition but need the rest of the codes to help
@@alecburril3433
It had an issue wher engine ran with only 3 injectors and i swapped 3 inejectors 123 and it then got this issue
Where did u send ur ecu and what all did they do to it ?
And the price
3K calibrations in Abbotsford BC. Tuning and over night shipping both ways was $2100 🇺🇸
What was your total cost, at the time of the video, for the delete?
$3500 USD. For everything I did
@@alecburril3433 that seems like a good trade off, I’m thinking of doing it to my 2018
I see the delete is for 2012 or older.
How about 2016?
3k has the tuning for the N13. You'll have to make you own plates I believe. Still doable
Do the two 2 bolt flange coolant lines on the front need to be blocked off?
Coolant lines? The lines on front of the egr cooler to the intake? Those take the exhaust back into the engine. Yes block those off
@@alecburril3433 any way i could email you? i have a few questions regarding the delete and tune. Im having some problems with my delete as in a shit load of smoke...rolling coal everywhere i go.
Hell I’d be willing to buy that ecm from you if you’d sell it.
@haydenkapiko3191 that was the first thing that sold.
@@alecburril3433 makes sense lol. Where you located? I’m in the Spokane area
Well my name is Steve Donaldson I got a Lone Star 2013 with a match for 13 minute I'm trying to delete it now I had number one Turbo go out on me couldn't buy number 2 so I had to put it back together I had APC R deleted deleted not for sure what all I got to do if I got to take anything else off the engine beside the exhaust I would watch your video I didn't know if I have to get in that cooler or not that's what I got left to do right now is Take the mufflers they're apart or just put straight against on it McDonald's on it I would appreciate if you could get back with me and let me know if I need to do anything else to delete things They built the 1st Lone Star for me to drive across the country if you would like to look at that it's called driven deliver
I worked for a guy that loved these trucks. I hated them, no balls in the engines
Once tuned and deleted they pull as good as any other modern truck. Stock they won't get out of there own way
How can I get a hold of you I have some ?'s
Email works. Alecamy3@gmail.com
Where can I send my ecm
I sent mine to 3k calibrations in Abbotsford BC
Could I bring my truck to you and you do it and I pay you? How much would it cost you for your time?
$8,000 parts, labor, and tuning. If you're serious let me know and we can work out the details
Hi are you avialable to do mine
Yes. I charge $8,000
Are you in Seattle..?
East side of the state
Can you do mine? I pay
I could in a few months. I'd need the truck for a week to 10 days. $6500
Hi, i been charged by local mechanics for egr delete twice. One mechanic put plates at front of egr cooler but not as shown by you in video. They charge me for programming my ecu. Still loosing power and boost after driving like 10 mins
I’m having that same issue but truck isn’t deleted. They think nuts injection pump
How long did it take to get the block off plates from VP Parts?
5-6 days
@@alecburril3433 I ordered the plates on Monday and received them today. Sent my ECM to 3K Calibrations on Tuesday and I'll be in tomorrow. Can't wait... What did you do to break loose the egr valve from the cooler?
@@Cracker0309 make sure you got the bolts from the front side that thread into the valve, then a pry bar through the valve and work it up and down and it'll come loose. Let me know how you like it when it's all done
@@alecburril3433 I finally got the install finished a couple day's ago. I drove it for the first time yesterday. I noticed a few things that concern me. One thing is when I take off or even rev it up parked, it'll start to miss a little and doesn't have that much power. The other is my oil pressure. At idle is around 20 psi but when driving it stays around 80psi +. I'm not sure if this will effect anything but i'm thinking that maybe I have a sensor either still plugged in from the egr cooler or one not plugged in. I do have the EGRT sensor still plugged into the EGR module cover that's next to the EGR outlet tubes in the front. I also have everything unplugged that goes to the DPF filter. As far as my exhaust goes, I removed the DPF filter, gutted out the DOC and installed the down pipe to the DOC to make it look like I still have the DPF filter installed. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
@@Cracker0309 check engine light? Any soft codes in the ecm
Hey brother can u delete mines
I can do the work. The ecm has to be sent out for programming
I've heard the Maxxforce 13 is a good engine once it's deleted.
It's fair. It'll last as long as any other modern engine
What’s the name of the Orange sealer with the plates?
It’s a copper sealant. Good for high temperature
