Not sure what stuff you are referring to, all you have to do is remove the EGR and clean it.

yea i was just wondering if there was anything else useful to do while i have everything off. whether it is aftermarket, cleaning, or repairing. i figured if i had torn into it i mite as well do a few other things if it was worth it.

Get a tuner to delete it on the computer or the idle will be messed up when the truck thinks the valve is open.(guess how I know)
