B4 I lose my mind: where is EGR valve 3.7l
I can't believe I have not found this EGR valve yet on my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 3.7l engine. Crazy. I just came home from the dealer. Lifted the hood. And said: What the hell?????
Can anybody help me out. I searched everywhere and cannot get a definitive answer about its exact whereabouts.

Dodge Dealer Gone Wild
Just a quick note. I took my 07 Dodge Ram 1500 3.7l truck to a dodge dealer to have them figure out what was the problem with my truck (would hesitate in the 1200-1800 RPMs, sometimes sluggish starts).
You know the initial hour cost over a hundred. After that hour was up I was called to speak to the mechanic. He basically said he has to dig deeper, open the valve covers, blah blah blah, thinking it might be a burnt valve. And I would have to pay an additional hundred & change. I said no, just return the truck.
This is when I googled the symptoms of my truck, found a consistent pattern (stuck EGR valve), and fixed this problem myself.

Cleaned or replaced?
I'm having a very similar issue with my Durango with that motor. I had a P0406 code and after looking into came to that valve or sensor being the issue. Were you able to clean the valve and fix the issue? I would rather clean it than buy the part. I'm just curious as to if you tried to clean or it simply replaced it?
