smoke - 2

[jck]

Just got mine back from the dealer today for the smoke! It was a sensor FP # 4C3Z-9F452-A that had become covered in carbon, has to do with the emission control sounds as if it will be a on going problem that has to be addressed every few thousand miles on the 6Lunless you put a $32 full additive in at every fill up! Not to mention the 3 recalls 05s34, 05s15 and 59b01, no head gasket. -mad

That part is the EGR valve and you can keep it cleaned but you have to take care of it quite often. If you allow it to get clogged badly then it is a waist of time. http://www.parts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=searchCatalogOEM&siteid=213787

location?

 

[rsjohnsn]

It is located to the left of the oil filter and toward the front. There should be some wires connected to the top and 2 8mm bolts on each side. Oh yeah, its round, tall, and shiny. Basically its the round shiny thingy to the passenger side of the oil filter and toward the front of the truck!

Thanks, what kind of tool do you use to clean the round shiny thing, how sensitive is it to cleaning?
