JB weld didnt hold!
Whats up everyone? I recentley JB welded My emissions tube to the tube that comes from the manifold. And it broke loose after about a week. I do not know how to weld and cant afford to pay someone to do it. Does anyone have any advice on what I should use to hold that together. Maybe I should of double coated it with the JB weld? But Im thinking it cant hold do to the heat etc.... Thanks

I know your not going to like this but you can't fool around like that.
Replace it. You can't fix it. Said that before to you.
If you can't afford to fix these things, you should not try to own and run this truck.
Now you tell me where i'm wrong.

All the guy asked was for a little help in solving his problem, you verbally attacked him. (wow - kinda like I did you..... did you like it?)

Have you thought of the junk yard route? Talk to a yard and see if they can remove the egr tube of a manifold. Won't be nearly as expensive as a new unit... probably less than $10-15. You only have to get the old one off your truck.
Removing these tubes are fun (dripping with sarcasm) as you probably know. You'll need penetrating oil and I recommend a metric wrench set at the very least (know anyone local who can help?)
Spray the two ends (EGR side and manifold side) and let it sit at least over night. Remove the tire (need jack stands to be safe) and this should give you enough room to get at it. Think about a leverageable device (piece of steel pipe attached to wrench - take it easy or you'll be in the hospital) and go at it.
As a public service note - people are here to get help with their vehicular problems, not to read about how to manage their lives. Respect that please.
