Lightbulb egr bypass

my egr valve went bad. is the bypass worth it what are the pros and cons. ford wants 450 to replace the egr that includes the labor. but for around 600 i was told i could by the bypass kit have my current egr cleaned and it will still work and the cooler would no longer cause me any problems. anyone done this. any advice my warranty ended like 6 months ago. its an 04 psd

Try searching the 6.0l forum. EGR issues are common on the 6.0l and I'm shure there are tons of old posts down there.

Silly's post does not warrant such a ignorant response. He was just making a point that maybe you have a duplicate post (which I believe one post could have been used in this case had you worded it properly) It is responses like yours here that make others not want to help newer people out with questions.

Sometimes it is nice to have someone point it out in case it was a mistake so you can have the post moved or deleted. That being said I don't mind helping out..take a look at your HID post. Besides looks like you got your answer in the other EGR post.
