| Description of the problem | Continuing issue with egr valve, after about 5 minutes of research i can see this is a wide spread issue. Also, after discussing with several mechanics this is a not a valve that should go out in the first four years. Truck idles rough and stalls at slow speeds, valve is evidently faulty or other piece of system, whether that's solenoid, fuse, electrical connection, sensor is faulty. Cannot believe after reviewing that there is not a recall on this valve. Also, very difficult to find particular part in-stock at any parts stores. |
