EGR cleaning?
After reading most of the threads on cleaning it seems to be a toss up about disconnecting the batteries before unplugging the EGR. I rather not disconnect & have to relearn. What's the OH shi.... side of not disconnecting the batteries?

Just pulled and cleaned mine this past weekend. I didn't disconnect the batteries. Everything is running good, no codes or anything. I can't recall reading anywhere that the batteries need to be disconnected to clean the EGR valve?

I've never heard of disconnecting the batteries either, and I've cleaned mine 4 or 5 times. Heck, I don't even disconnect both batteries at the same time when changing them. Here is a good link to cleaning the egr valve though...

Just don't get any fluid in the little holes on the bottom of the sensor.
Baby food jars are a good depth, fill with carb cleaner and stick it in the jar.
As for batteries, when ever I'm working in the engine compartment, I throw a heavy towel or rag over them so I don't lay a wrench on the terminals!
