Going up a certain steep hill in a similar truck , one with that kit , the other without , You certainly can feel the difference, the EGR makes to your power . And a much lower ' litres per hundred kilometres ' . spacesailor We went through that phase more than 20 years ago, starting with common rail systems, multi injections etc. Today we've caught up and beaten those old non EGR engines by so much they aren't worth buying at the wreckers. Also today, EGR is just one of three or four base engine systems. Edited May 3 by turboplanner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Anything over 20 years old would be pretty ordinary. Anything used commercially would have a million K's on it . . Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
