PSD004, you ever consider just ditching the EGR ... I'm sure you have seen the discussions around here .. I read those and contemplated it for a while and saw no real advantages to hanging on to the EGR operation and just disconnected the EGR connector when the engine was off and have had zero adverse issues ... no Check Engine or anything ... FWIW

You'll be lucky if it does fix the problem..permantly. Replacing the turbo with one of the new type will probably take care of your problem. They gotta get their dollars outta ya first. Watch it VERY closely after you get it back. If you are not COMPLETELY satified, complain, complain, complain. Tell them you wnat the new type turbo.....be sure you do not pay for this cleaning...or get the full labor/parts charge deducted from the cost of the new turbo.

And honestly, Kentucky Skipper, there is not much more we can do for you here either.
I don't mean to be flippant or non-caring but, we are now fully aware of your issues. Sadly, even with vloney's help, we cannot fix your truck. I do not see where continued posting of your dis-satisfaction with Ford Customer Service, here, is going to effect change.
We all want to see your truck get fixed and are more than interested in the final resolution, but, please refrain from using this board as a soapbox.
Thanks in advance.

With all due respect KW, there are a few threads that can be related to a soapbox. Certainly there off the topic of the 6.0 and should have been moved to the general discussion.

In addition, I try not to over moderate and ship posts or threads off to other forums as soon as they appear. Especially within the 6.0 Forum. This is where our friends and respected opinions live. So many times I leave posts or threads here in respect of those bonds. Besides, I don't have the time or inclination to evaluate, edit and move posts on thread by thread basis.
If I am to err in moderation, I prefer that it be because of that respect.
The very nature of the 6.0 often lends our topics to be dynamic in nature and evolve into "off-topic" discussions.
However, redundancy wears thin on the general membership. This is why I made my request of Kentucky Skipper.
This was as good a place as any to do so.
Now, back on topic:
Powerstroke004, have you had all the recalls / reflashes completed on your truck?

Well said and I agree with, Powerstroke004, have you had all the recalls / reflashes completed on your truck?
I had the same problem with my '04 and an EGR replacement and flashes corrected it.
