    Another EGR Valve

    I have been saying/and doing the same. I have an 03 6.0 and the EGR Valve had never been out of the intake. But, I make sure to, at least once a week, do a heavy roll into the throttle from a stop, or getting on the interstate. I would also, when I was taking my camper to storage at my...
