I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 with the 4.7 i need to know step by step on how to take the EGR valve off has anyone changed one before?

 

On the 5.7 it requires a 8mm and an 10mm. You simply disconnect the electrical harness and unbolt the unit. Swap it out and tighten it down and reconnect the harness. Resetting the PCM helps.

I cant imagine the 4.7 being much difference.

However, there are links to the Service Manuals below in my signature

 

The 4.7 is a BI*CH compared to the Hemi. Why the hell they made it so hard to get to when it's right up front in the Hemi is a mystery to me. I could change it 5x over in my truck (Hemi) in the time it would take me in my Jeep (4.7).

In addition to the service manuals in 'Weeds signature, there may be a DIY in the FAQ section...

 

I found it at the back of the Srv Man. It is on page 8390 of 8410
