egr valve where and how
Here's my problem. I got ahold of a friends scan tool and checked my truck out seeing the check engine light is on. It says code P0401. egr valve. I went to the local parts store and picked up a chiltons. The stupid thing don't have it in there! anywhere! I already got the new gaskets but don't know where to find the valve. I got an 05 ram 1500 4x4 with the 4.7 in it. I want to try to see if it's just got carbon in it before I buy a new one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

REMOVAL - 4.7L
The electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly (4) is attached to the rear of the left cylinder head. An exhaust gas routing tube (3) connects the EGR valve to the intake manifold.
[ol][*]Remove electrical connector (5) at top of EGR valve solenoid.[*]Remove tube mounting bolt (1) at intake manifold.
[*]Remove two bolts (4) connecting EGR tube (1) to valve assembly.[*]Remove gasket located between EGR tube flange and EGR valve assembly.[*]Remove two EGR valve mounting bolts (5).[*]Separate valve assembly (3) from engine.[*]Remove and discard metal gasket located between cylinder head and valve assembly.[/ol]

RE: egr valve where and how
Hi , First time post for me
I've been reading alot on the EGR Valves, seems to be a problem!
I have a 5.7 in a Durango, it Stalls and chugs at diffrent speeds, check engine light is on,(46,000 miles)as far as i've read seems to be the going trend with the egr's.
I had a dodge machanic do a run check on it....EGR what a surprise! (behind cloesed doors, he told me to take it off, clean it, and put on with anew gasket, first before buying a new one?????) I do believe that, By reading the mass post, that its stuck open..
anyone else try this first??
And if you did, did it work?
