Removing the EGR system with an lmm duramax egr delete kit (https://flasharkracing.com/products/flashark-egr-delete-kit-high-flow-intake-elbow-pipe-tube-for-chevy-silverado-gmc-sierra-2500-3500-hd-duramax-6-6l-lmm-diesel-2007-5-2008-2009-2010?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=forum) can potentially impact engine reliability, as it alters the original design and emissions control mechanisms. However, reputable brands like XDP, Sinister Diesel, or Flo-Pro are known for reliable and effective EGR removal kits that minimize such risks. Nevertheless, EGR removal kits can affect a vehicle's ability to pass state or country vehicle inspections, as emissions-related modifications may violate regulations. Therefore, it's essential to research local laws and choose reputable kits to balance performance gains with legal compliance and engine reliability.

It's crucial to consider the long-term implications of removing the EGR system. While reputable brands offer reliable kits, altering the engine's emissions control mechanisms can indeed affect its reliability over time. Additionally, the legality of such modifications varies by region, so ensuring compliance with local laws is essential to avoid potential issues with vehicle inspections and legal consequences.

For some reason, I have recently had the idea that I would like to become a marine engineer so that I can sail and work on engines and I am looking for courses if such courses even exist.

I used to think that to get a job on sea vessels, you need to graduate from some institute or university, and have a specialized education. Well, as it turns out, there are courses https://www.coursesuggest.com/safety-and-efficiency-at-sea-maritime-and-engine-room-resource-management/ that you can take and get the opportunity to work in this direction, in general, everything related to sea vessels.
