EGR valve cleaning
I've searched through the forums and the tech folder on the EGR valve and would like some more input. I've pulled the valve and its clogged something bad but it was dry as a bone and will clean it and replace the O'rings on it. I parked the truck nose down and the intake was dry as well so happy about that. My question is do I use carb cleaner on the EGR valve and what to do with the intake. The intake is really built up with carbon so leave it alone or break some of it up and vac what I can? Didn't want to put the valve back into something that dirty but don't want to stir things up if thats a no no. Thanks for any input!
