Re: Re: Re: Re: EGR Valve

I've heard you can take off the EGR and then turn on the truck and then rev it like hell. This will "blow' the carbon out. Anybody else on the forum tried this? Anybody? I never have but I've heard of folks doing this.

I mean I know the EGR Valve is a problem on these motors, however it shouldnt be clogging as bad as mine is.
