CODE P0401

I have the 04 Ex 6l diesel and every so often I will get the P0401 Code. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be, besides my EGR Valve? I am having a tough time finding anything wrong...Seems to run Great...

Here is a post about some possible culprits other than the EGR valve itself...

I have this same EGR code that comes up now and again. My "gut" feeling is that the cooler fins are clogged up a bit. I have no proof, that's just my "truck whispering" ways. Not sure if there is a way to check that, but it likely involves removing the cooler and at that point there is no point in putting that one back on.
