I just called the dealer to ask this. They said that the EGR is not covered under the no deductible warranty. Soo...$100 to have them fix it. Oh well.

It rained all weekend so I am putting off cleaning it until next weekend. I will post pictures.

 

Anything emisssions related isnt suspose to have a deductible if it is still under the 5yr/100k mile warranty

 

Two different people at the dealer have told me that it's not covered. Hmmm....maybe I will have to give Ford a call.

 

Do you have your Warranty Manual? It is in there. If not, I have electronic copies I can post or send you. You do NOT owe any deductible!

Here it is:

EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE

• your vehicle or engine is designed, built, and equipped to meet - at
the time it is sold - the emissions regulations of the U.S. Environmental

or workmanship that could prevent it from conforming with applicable
EPA regulations.

I would confront the dealership w/ this info and then report them in a complaint to Ford - even if they re-imburse you.

 

Awesome info. I will be taking it in to them. I don't think that they are trying to screw me over. I just think that they might not know any better...I hope.

I haven't paid for anything or even taken it in. I know it's the EGR or EGR related. When it's plugged in the truck runs crappy up hill and when it's unplugged it runs great. I was just going to clean it myself this coming weekend but now I will take it in to them.

I love these forums! Reps to bismic!

EDIT: I guess I gave some reps to bismic before....it won't let me again. But I would if I could!

 

I called the dealer again this morning. I asked the service adviser if the EGR was covered under warranty. He said yes but that there is a $100 deductible. I mentioned that the Ford warranty stated there wasn't.

Oh, now he gets an attitude. Well, we would have to diagnose it. I told him the truck runs crappy with it plugged in and like a champ with it unplugged. Then he proceeds to tell me that it's at least a week for diesel service! Jerk. I will just clean it myself then leave it unplugged.

 

OK, I'll ask the newb question. With all the talk of cleaning the EGR, what is the cost for a new EGR? On our recently replaced Suburban with the X, an EGR was $30 - $80 depending on aftermarket v GM OEM.

 

Dealer list them for like $300+, ebay has them for under a $100

 

The dealer I usually go to sell them for $375 (I am sure you could get them to come down). In the 6.0 they can get gunked up pretty easily and cause all kinds of problems.

They are super easy to pull out and clean since they are right there on top of the engine. Many people here disable them and there are many ways and thoughts on how to do that.

 

I bought a spare on e-bay for 60.00. change it when i do the oil. clean it and have it ready for the next swap.
