Its an 870. the 870 (only) can get away cooler plated off, though I don't like to see it. - even state police these days will fine the f#$k out of you out in texas if they see it .. I'd say leave put it back on just to make it all look stock if nothing else.

i will double check the coolant line but i'm 99% i saw it on there... figured it was common sense thing so didn't think to mention it lol... yes i definitely feel this where you get the right information...
loved the matrix references that was awesome ha ha ha
yea its so annoying they act like if they tell you something or another its gonna put them outta business and chances are that "secret" they're guarding isnt even the right way to do things anyway... this is where my urge to learn has always come from i have a hard time trusting people to do things the right way and just like now i'm feel i'm suffering from someone's half assed way of doing things.
I'll start with the links are read through them a few times until i feel like i cant learn anything more from them before i log on to mumble. I too feel like if i was around 40 psi my egt's would be about were they need to be...
cheers fellas thanks for fighting the good fight and taking your own time to right as many wrongs as you can
RE: EGR Delete Info -- Educate yourself - Magard - 01-04-2020
36 psi would be plenty for that hp your at. 38 will do 600hp ok.

...
for an 870...
at or above 40+ and above psi will severely shorten engine life. For a mid-tier running less than 550-600hp as well, it is absolutely too much. Its only going to suck the fuel, + fight against the unnecessary ADDED A/R ratio of that turbo at those high of settings. The cylinders will run hot, eventually cracking a piston. .Seen it a hundred times on here by people who were hell bent on "more boost", and not knowing any better. -->.. IT AIN'T NO OLDER YELLOW MOTOR!!!, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DESIGN!. -- I have seen it more than a few times, and someone always pays the price for it eventually. . -- 36-38 is the top end it should ever see, and even competition engines making well over 800+ hp on dyno, get there easily and efficiently without any heat issues at all with only ,.. 38~,39 psi at most. - MORE BOOST on the isx is NOT how you make power, nor control egt's etc. with them. It is PROPER ENGINE COMBUSTION! -- otherwise, it will not last long enough to shake a stick at it.
- The boost for a mid-tier engine, 400-500hp range should be about 36-37 or so ... That puts it in the right spot. - much below 35 and the turbo will run hot, have a shortened lifespan, and egt's will be too high, and much above 38~ish, and the composite pistons will run hot, it will consume more fuel than it should, costing the truck owner thousands a year in fuel losses, and eventually cause damage. Making proper combustion is the only way to solve problems corectly, , not adjusting on the boost pressures outside of their proper working ranges. -- and ADDING OR TAKING AWAY BOOST PRESSURE CANNOT FIX IMPROPER COMBUSTION!
RE: EGR Delete Info -- Educate yourself - Unilevers - 01-05-2020
honestly learning on a 870 is doing it the hard way. 870 logic is clunky as hell and completely different than anything else cummins has. They are hard to do and i spent years getting them to do what i want safely. the ecms are old and clunky and the engines are slow to respond and have no feedback. There are many different CPL's and configurations and ECM's and you have to get that all straight. start with a 871, the logic is much more current and transitions into newer stuff.
There is a reason i do a ton of tuning on 870's, its because people butcher them horribly.
it takes about ~200 ish parameters and about 10 sets of tables to do one right. that is not including power/efficiency tuning. and after you think you got it all think again and realize there are around 25 things that need to be shutoff properly live on the ECM. forget those and your pissing upwind anyways.
I had some health issues lately, im on the road to recovery but ive been kinda absent lately dealing with my stuff. Ill get back to people eventually, and if they couldn't wait then they were not ready anyways.

Yeah or you end up like I did needed to fix a fan issue so I thought Id pull with CT, fix the fan in the file, and send it back -> and lost J1939 ... THank God for Rawze he came to the rescue... Uni and Mamma burt do all my 870's
RE: EGR Delete Info -- Educate yourself - D_Y_F_B_A_E - 01-20-2020
Howdy everyone! This is my very first post.
I've been doing a lot of reading and video watching.
I have a 2010 International ProStar Premium with Cummins ISX, CM871
My truck is currently at an International Dealer, the Turbo and Doser injector are being replaced (work started Jan 20th, 11:15am EST)
And then they will let me know DOC/DPF will need to be replaced.
I'm currently on page 11, of a 92 page document called @m*m^2. I'm trying to see if I can figure out what I have to do, to make sure that I definitely don't need to get the DOC/DPF cleaned or replaced.
If there is anyone that can provide me some insight or assistance into helping my engine breathe freely? I will appreciate any constructive input! I'm standing-by at the ready!
RE: EGR Delete Info -- Educate yourself - Waterloo - 01-20-2020
EGR tuneup, mm, hollow the cans, you will of course need the Inline 6 reader and the software, which should come with the kit.
Too bad you took the truck to the dealer, how do you know the turbo is bad? That new turbo will more than likely puke oil all over the place, I had two on mine before finding YTS Turbo down in Griffin GA. They are the turbo outfit of choice here, much better quality than the Cummins.
If it were me, I would go get the truck and bring it home, I would not trust the dealer...
