    Are your friends qualified to give that kind of advice? Everyone talks like a mechanic when its someone else's truck...

    Fix it. Especially if you run out west you will need it. Removing the egr cooler also means removing all the emissions equipment as well. Yes some people will do that but it usually causes problems in the future. Also it's real hard to have the dealer reprogram the ecm as the truck was not spec'ed to run with out it. Sa highways says it's easy when it's not their money

    Keep the cooler but Braze it shut on air side and coolant side, repaint and leave intact in place. Stock looking.
    Reprogram the ECM to not throw codes. Look up PDQ Performance , Sanford FL

    I would have to agree with Sharkey on this one. Good luck!
