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...

 

yeah change your EGR out and chances are you'll be good.

Do whats in there ^^^. Also, I've got a code for 5% off in you order through Rockauto.com which I highly recommend. Really fast shipping, affordable and quailty products.

 

cool. i looked up the erg valve today on rockauto and i just gotta wait for payday to order the part. plus Its terribly cold here and I dont have a garage to work on it.

 

yea changed mine on new years, it was friggin windy and not fun lol. Also, some BIG advice that my stupidself didnt figure out till AFTER I finished replacing my EGR....Take the Air filter box OFF the truck and give yourself plenty of room to work with.

Oh and heres the code 5% off code..
