I'm on my phone right now and can't search, but if you do a search on my username I had a post about it maybe a month ago. Easy fix. You need a socket wrench, a deepwell 10mm socket and 8mm socket and maybe an extension to get it off. Its about a 30 minute job tops.

Nevermind, I forgot I had it buried in another thread, anyway here you go, I just pulled this from my post, I had cleaned my TB at the same time so you get some pics of it too:

EGR Valve location:



Compare old to new:



Motor with valve off:



The entire switch took about 30 minutes, most of that was just trying keep my hands off of anything hot (Impatient and didn't want to wait on the engine to cool). Reset the code, and it didn't return on my 10 minute test drive. Everything seems to be running good, will find out tonight when I drive home as to whether it helps the mpg's or not...

Here's a shot of my TB when I took it off to clean it:


And after I got it clean:

I just replaced my EGR and cleaned my throttle body. Truck runs excellent now.
