Thanks weed- By the way- I hooked up a air fuel ration gauge yesterday By Sunpro..My Hemi Motor is getting terrible gas mileage,"The first Time" I hooked everything up,I got 21 MPG..I took all the wires back off and re-wired my truck..That's when it started..I thought maybe I didn't hook one of the 02 sensors up right this time..Anyway- The gauge reads RICH.It's pegged out on the rich side..What can I do about that.Do I have to get a computer programmer ? Or would that do any good with this 2003 Wiring harness.I will soon change everything over to a 04' computer and wires, but until then, I might have to drive it like it is..Got any advice ?

Welcome to the site. Cold weather is hard on the hands when it comes to working on something.

Talking Another Opinion

I also got to have the thrill of changing my EGR valve. They're not lying, guys, it's not a ball to do. I have some added help from things I learned. First, the mounting bolts on mine weren't 10 mm. They were 13 mm. I went to a local store where we all love to by these "crafty" tools. I got a 1/4 drive set with sockets from 4 to 14 plus a 1 1/2 extension. I suggest you get as much padding underneath you to make this easier. A good light and decent tools are all you really need. I bought my replacement for $ 46.00 and got both gaskets and new bolts. Search on line, you'll find that "rock" of a place that sells parts. The gaskets were cut so that when you insert the bolts at first, they hold the gasket on so you can not have to worry about it not being placed correctly. I also put a few small pieces of duct tape on to make sure. It would also be a good idea to have a 8 mm wrench. You can put them on rather well before installation but they have to move a bit in order for everything to go smoothly. As long as you're good working without being completely able to see things, you'll be fine. This old man did it. I don't want to do it again though!
