So I got a code 32, something to do with an EGR valve sensor. So I called a mechanic and told him I got a code 32, something to do with an EGR sensor. He asked if I wanted the EGR valve replaced. I said no, I'd like everything tested to see what is wrong. I didn't say anything at all about intermittent.

So they had the truck for 2 hours. Ran it for a while, shut it off. Ran it again, shut it off, (it was mostly off though). Then after about 2 hours they said the EGR valve is stuck open but the PCM is going out. When I went out there they had something hooked up to the battery. They did not offer to replace the EGR and made it sound like replacing the PCM is priority, but it's obsolete. I can't believe this truck has a piece of obsolete computer equipment that threatens to make it inoperable!!!!!

Anyways I am new to this computer crap and wishing I bought an older truck at this point (or newer one), that didn't have computer stuff on it that can't be replaced. I have never heard of that. Wondering if that's why the owner sold it.

EECIV relay? Never heard of it? Not sure what else I can do. I think the PCM is unavailable and hit 5 salvage yards but none had a 460 E40D.

So, I can take a gamble on another used one for like $150 or spend like $250 for new old stock refurbished ones... not really sure how to go about proving/disproving it's bad.... and I'm thinking the mechanic wasn't trying to gyp me by not suggesting to replace the EGR after looking at it and saying they can't replace the part that needs to be replaced?
