H&S and EGR cycling

If I understand correctly, with exception to the Easy tunes, the H&S 250 and 300HD tunes do not cycle the EGR even at idle.

Are sticking EGR valves a prevalent problem? Assuming you return to stock periodically, how long have you guys been running the 250 or 300HD tunes with no EGR valve issues? Do you have to run the Easy tunes periodically to prevent the valve from sticking?

If I'm not mistaken, I think the DPF-R/R+ disables the EGR also...won't that have the same issue?

I know the Spartan guys (Jeff/Matt) suggest running a egr-cycling tune every here n there, to prevent sticking. Perhaps once a month or so for a couple days.

Or you could just delete the egr!

Been tuned for 20,000 miles. I've returned to stock once. Only to have the latest flash done. No EGR issues. Always run 250 or 300.
