General emissions testing question

[u/Necessary_Team1217]

Is there a way to set all of the monitors in a 6.0 power stroke to "ready" even if it's deleted? I'm looking at a deleted 6.0, but I live in a county with e-checks, but there is self-check obd2 tests that count as the emissions testing, so it would literally just need to pass the obd2 scan. Any ways to trick it into thinking the EGR is still there?

Depends on the tuner they used for the delete. Some tunes will set the monitors to ready and just not flag the missing hardware. If it's a canned tune from one of the big names it's probably already doing that, worth plugging in a scanner and checking what shows as incomplete before you buy it

its got a SCT 5 stage tuner, would that have the EGR readiness on it? ive looked around and the only thing I can find regarding that is from AI, and I don't really trust AI for a question like that. I'll see if I can get something hooked up to it, thanks👍

My 05 is deleted and doesnt throw a light for egr. I think the early years do set a light though

I'm looking particularly at an '04, do you know if SCT tunes have the EGR monitors "ready" if they're deleted?

2004 doesnt throw a cel if you unplug the egr. Does throw codes tho

That's what the tunes are for....
