Not to hijack the tread but cheezit, in another thread we talked about how removing the egr valve can have a direct effect on fan operation. Now we all know with these motor they raise combustion temps to help reduce emissions. Could the ECM actually be programmed to delay fan functions to create higher heat in engine to help reduce emissions when the egr system has been compromised. Seems like a gamble to run engine hotter but hey you never know. I know you have ran a few test and seen lower fan rpm's when egr system is non-operational. Is there a limit when the fan will kick in to keep the motor from melt down?
emmm. egr is there to reduce Nox. Nox is formed at 1500*f. we want to add exhaust gas to reduce cyclinder temp.
I belive the the circuit that is effected is circuit 351 and for some reason it ties in to actavating the fan. I satill havnt figured out why they are doing this but they are. I do need to send a contact threw and ask if anyone has a clue

The recirculation of exhaust gas is to lower the flame (or combustion) temp. That reduces NOx emissions.
Sorry for the mstake, for some reason i thought i recalled something about rasing combustion temps to reduce NOx.
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] My mistake, thanks, still would like to find the correlation between the egr and fan circuit
like I said its hooked threw cicuit 361. I belive the last 2 legs of that circuit is the egr valve then the fan clutch.
but that still has me wondering why the maf and the gpcm dont have that issue if that was the real cause.
Thanks! Would it hurt to keep runnin the truck like that? I know i had the EGR replaced 5 months ago under warrenty
If your EGR valve was replaced 5 months ago and it has a minimum stop performance issue it is either loading up heavily or has a carbon chunk stuck in it. It is very common to find a bad EGR cooler causing low mileage repeat EGR valve concerns like sticking or hanging open.

Ok, thanks! that was the answer i was wanting/not wanting lol But i have a warrenty so its all good. What would happen if i kept driving the truck? Since i dont have guages, i cant really tell ya the EOT and ECT temps.

At this point monitoring the temps isn't going to help other than diagnose a cooler problem. Yeah, you can drive the truck but you will likely experience driveability issues and if the valve hangs open enough the engine will smoke, stall and even not start. The longer you drive it without addressing this problem the more likely you are to have a problem... usually at an inconvenient time!
I had a P0404 and a P1335 and had no turbo boost, but idled fine. Took out EGR found a chunk of carbon stuck in the valve cleaned it up, and it ran like champ afterwards.
