Can you delete the EGR on 6.0 Powerstroke?

In some cases, yes. Installing an EGR delete on 2006 and up 6.0L trucks WILL result in the check engine light. In fact, it will set the check engine light on all Ford 6.0L’s with software that has been updated since about 2005. This means that an EGR delete will set the CEL on most 6.0L’s on the road today.

How do I unplug the EGR valve?

If I may, I would advise you to unplug the EGR valve on your motor.

Can a bad EGR valve set off the Check Engine light?

If your vehicle’s EGR valve has an issue and the computer detects that, it will set off the Check Engine Light on the dashboard to notify the issue.
