96 chevy k1500 350 egr delete

[99xcss4]

knew some one with a 96 trooper it had bolt shoved inside the egr valve so it could not open never set the check engine light off now when the cats got removed and he did not want to replace them that did set the check engine light off

Or merely weld a bung into a header tube so as to keep the EGR functional and avoid a half-dozen headaches.

If you are set on the EGR deleting on your '96 K1500, it is important to consider tuning afterward to avoid check engine lights and potential lean conditions. As others mentioned, Jet's Dynamic Spectrum Tuner or a mail-order tune can help bypass the EGR function on your truck’s specific PCM. Another route could be performing the 0411 PCM swap, which opens up more tuning options like HP Tuners or EFI Live. Making sure the EGR is properly tuned out is key to avoiding drivability issues, so if you go the delete route, don’t skip on the tune.

Just P59 swap it. All the L31 P59 tunes were factory EGR deleted by GM. My tunes are based on a 2005 Silverado 3500 L31 350.

Just P59 swap it.

^^^ Any other advantages to the P59 swap?

There's plenty of chatter about the 0411 swap.

Are there other swaps to consider?

I've heard you mention something about an ECU from Mexico (or was it just a firmware swap from a MX ECU into a US ECU)?



(edit) I started searching for "L31 P59" and found some interesting stuff. Will keep reading.

Re EGR delete, AFAIK it's awfully easy to disable it by "tuning" the stock ECU... one parameter change is all it appears to take (that's all I changed anyway... "one and done" as they say).

0411 swap is by far the cheapest and easiest way. I paid $145 for the ecm and running on eBay. I spent a couple hours swapping it over , best upgrade ever.

USA PCM with the Mexican calibration. Used the operating system as a lot of the US stuff so easy to segment swap around what you need to run whatever you want. I have more calibrations for different setups for that 2005 PCM than I do an 0411 as well.

The big advantage is the PCM processor is about 2x faster than the 0411 and GM had 2x the storage capacity to implement more coding to make the engine run even better. That and they had 3 more years worth of tuning on it to make it even more refined.

Order up the 0411 ecm pre tuned and perform the swap to achieve all the upgrades needed for around $200.

Do you have a link for this?

Do you have a diagram for swapping the harnesses and a way to tune a p59 or know of anybody that can?

Obd link for about 100 bucks and pcmhammer ls Droid will work to read and write and tuner pro rt for tuning. There's another program that i can't remember at the moment
