How to Replace your EGR valve
Hammer-sorry i didnt put this in the DIY, but i have gotten multiple emails the past month from people about my DIY on the EGR valve and they all say the pics don't show up, so im doing to just redo it rather than emailing them all with pics.
EGR valve going bad? Don't worry its a common problem with these trucks, and replacing it is easy...with my help you can/will do it.
Before you start, make sure you get the gasket with you new EGR valve, i think my total bill for valve and gasketwas like $70 or so at the dealership, which is where you will most likely have to purchase a new one. I checked 4 different auto parts stores and none of them had any on hand, and some can't even get a new one in. If you dont get a new gasket, and some may disagree with me on this, but you CAN clean up the old one and use it, although id reccomend trying to get your hands on a new gasket. Save the time and go to your local dealership for all the correct parts!
