If you have had a calibration update in late 2009 (TSB issued on Nov 20) or more recently, the PCM was updated to eliminate the turbo from throwing a P0404 code falsely. If not, folks are correct ... it could be the EGR or it could be the turbo.

This code is an EGR "FLOW" code.

you can try and clean the egr valve and also clean IAT sensor in intake manafold there both probably gummed up
but you may need a new egr valve

The 6.0L has a variable geometry turbo - variable inlet guide vanes to the turbine. A number of moving parts. It is not a case of being either "good or bad".

it takes several cycles of warm up followed by a cold soak coolant temps need to change alot
it needs to get so hot then cool so much before its considered a compleate cycle
not shure of what temps the pcm want to see

and or the problem remains and you need a new egr valve

you said you cleaned the valve and truck runs perfict if it still runs ok give it a few days before you go to dealer

or go back to auto zone and let them turn it off and if it comes back on then you know its time for a new egr valve
