Default Got my first code, what do you guys recomend.

I got my first engine code with my truck today. My SC tuner said it was the EGR Postion Sensor.... Have any of you guys run into this problem? I've owned the truck since 16k and I just hit 40k. Other than doing the oil and air filter, I haven't done any other maintance to it. I talked to a buddy and he was saying to check the wires before replacing the sensor. Is this a common issue?

In all likelyhood, the EGR valve itself has failed, very common around 40k miles. Even in the unlikely event that it's the sensor itself, the EGR is undoubetdly crudded up and hurting your economy. Replace it...

also sounds like you are way overdue for a complete tune-up...
