EGR Carbon
I under stand how a egr works.
My question is on one of the trucks i look after has a 6.0lL
in it. For the first 100k it had no problems.Now it seems like the egr builds up carbon and sticks opean about every 10,000k.Ive replaced the egr.Does this truck need to be reprogramed,is the fuel pump/injectors wearing out.Is there a carbon clean that can be done?I need to know soon becouse this truck is running out of waranty.Does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks Kerry

Two options for you is clean it yourself and perform the mod that deletes its use. You shut off the truck and unplug it, it stays in the closed position. If your having lag problems please try a product from a sponser here. Weve used it on our 6.0 and 7.3 and it works great to remove the soot and carbon buildup you now have in your injectors and oil gallies. http://campaigns.ford-trucks.net/cam...s&bannerid=427
