my dad has an 05 F-250 which he bought new, 5.4, auto, FX4 it has 13k on it and this is the 4th time it has had the check engine light come on..They replaced the EGR the first time, and the last 3 times it has been a lean condition with no codes..anyone have any insight???
Thank you,
Mike

my 5.0 gasser used to trip an egr code...eventually i
said to hell w/ it and took it to the dealer...5miles down the
road (after they charged my warrenty company 300+) the
light came on again.

i did some checking and (alldata.com) and discovered that it COULD
be the vac. hose on either the hi or lo side...i laughed and thought no
way...but when i looked SURE enough...the hose slipped off...i zipped
tied it on and NEVER had the problem again (pissed me off the dealer
charges for stuff they dont properly diagnose or fix).
