Even the manufacturer of certain diesel motors,  have said to put a " blanking kit " in your motor , to make it last longer , plus be more economical & extend the oil changes .

Going up a certain steep hill in a similar truck , one with that kit , the other without ,

You certainly can feel the difference,  the EGR makes to your power .

And a much lower ' litres per hundred kilometres ' .

We went through that phase more than 20 years ago, starting with common rail systems, multi injections etc. Today we've caught up and beaten those old non EGR engines by so much they aren't worth buying at the wreckers. Also today, EGR is just one of three or four base engine systems.

Nobody reconditions motors these days unless it's for something historic or collectable.   Nev

This is true, although no one has mentioned reconditioning motors...

Anything over 20 years old would be pretty ordinary. Anything used commercially would have a million K's on it . .  Nev
