IF you have a California Truck, you can't unplug the EGR or it will throw a code. If you buy a second and plug it in there, it will also throw a code. In Ca you need to keep it pluged in unfortunately.
I had the same problem getting my OEM plug out. Ended up using a torx wrench and hammering it in...along with a liberal dose of penetrating oil. I replaced it with the newer style, and love the ease of use.

Hey Guys, A quick and easy question - I've read where some brave souls are welding their EGR valves (open/closed?) I have an '05 6.0 and an extra EGR Valve - what do I weld? Thanks - Steve-popcorn

Here's a strange one. I pluged my egr connection into a dummy vlave, trying to clean up the air in my system, but my 05 threw a P0401 code. I though plugging into another EGR valve would keep it from throwing the Check Engine light - no such luck. Oh well, there's $60 down the drain!...SteveA
I think the bigger issue it that you change you oil. Either Mobile or Shell RT is fine - but nothing works if you don't change it. 5,000 miles is the magic number here folks - going 7500 is rolling the dice. Over the (long) life of the engine, you'll see more build up than if you stick to 5k...
I just picked up a new EGR on ebay for 60 bucks. When I called Ford they wanted $280. So now it's a couple of zip ties and away I go! WHen I need to take it into the shop, cut the zips, plug into the original EGR and I'm good to go!...Steve A
