IM actually right in the middle of learning how the system works. . . . . . after my spark plug blew out at 50,000 miles I was told by the FORD company that they are only responsible up to 36,000 miles. . . .any number above that any you can pretty much believe you are ON YOUR OWN ! Extended warranties dont cover non-lubricated parts . . . like spark plugs. Learned that lesson real well.

that or he should just get rid of his ford and delete his f150online account and go on with his ford hating ways...my opinion there

My engine isnt currently blown up . . . guess you dont read very well !
But to answer your sarcastic remark . . . . . yes, detonation will ruin a perfectly good engine ( blow head gasket, crack pistons, and ruin ring seal ). Read up on it some before you decide to up and show everyone your ignorance !

RE : BGlanden.
I do read in that summary where they claim recirculating the gas reduces ping / detonation on the engine. Maybe Im just not smart enough to understand the concept, but that persons point of view seems logical at least to them. It says that the recirculation allows for a more agressive spark advance and increases performance of the engine !
Im not really trying to get in a serious forum argument with everyone . . . but if that is true, how come NASCAR doesnt recirculate THEIR exhaust back into their intake ?!?!?!?!?!?! for . . . . . MAXIUMUM PERFORMANCE !

You're biggest problem (with your truck) appears to be that the cats are plugged. BTW, how did you figure that out exactly? If the cats are plugged and you're using that good fuel you spoke of, there's something else seriously wrong and it's not the EGR.

RE: f150fella08
I come here because I needed help with my truck and I have figured out what is going on with it. I appreciate all the good information that is given on here and most of it has been really helpful in troubleshooting.
I freakin love my supercharged ford. This damn truck will haul *** and out performs ANY truck I have been up against with my current modifications. . . even some high performance diesels.
What I am unhappy with is when I ask ford for a replacement long block that I have no problem changing myself . . and they say that will be 8000 dollars please . . . no matter how much I BEGG for a "COST" price since I dont feel like it should be that much with my truck only having 50,000 miles.

The system already has a "temp restictor(sp) valve" . It's called an EGR valve and it manages the flow of those exhaust gases into the intake.

The only thing I can think of is . . . when I first got my short block and patriot heads back in the truck, the heads had a leak where oil was getting through near the valves and was causing some blowby. I took the heads off and sent them back and patriot fixed them and now they are right . . . but for that little bit of oil that made it through . . I think thats what stopped them up . . .maybe.

let me try to summarize
You made seemingly random modifications to your truck that resulted in problems that you haven't clearly described here - but you are blaming the problems on EGR ( even though you have no idea how EGR works ) in the hopes that convincing people here that EGR was at fault will some how help you convince ford to give you a long block ?
You said you haven't blown up your block yet want a long block anyway. You think the 8000 for price is too high but havent contacted any of the after market sources including former supporting vendors here
And you look to Nascar for perfomance recommendations on your street truck....
Hmm ...
Is that pretty close ?
Im confused

They told me it was 8000, sooooo I went to NAPA and had a short block built with ross internals. I called FORD again and asked for a new set of heads . . . PLEASE at cost ! ! again . . .and again I got the answer 3500 dollars . Since patriot PERFORMANCE heads were ALOT cheaper, I purchased them instead.
YES, the aftermarket heads probably clogged the CATS ! ! BUT that may not be the case with everyone else. . . higher mileage might just cause them to have stopped up cats in the long run . . . so watch out for it !
Thats because you are a sarcastic, narrow minded FUĆKING IDIOT ! ! ! ! ! ! !

IF RUNNING AN EGR IMPROVES PERFORMANCE . . . .WHY WOULDNT PEOPLE RUNNING FOR NOTHING BUT HIGH PERFORMANCE USE THAT LOGIC AS WELL ? ? ? Afterall, I have 690 dynoed rear wheel horsepower . . why not compare my truck to nascar engines ?
