Important EGR cleaning Information
In the "new" links posted by Smokersteve I found some interesting information in this link about EGR cleaning that's totally contrary to what Ford had previously recommended regarding the use of brake cleaner vs. carb cleaner:

This link contans a ton of useful information, but if you scroll down to the EGR diagnostic section (specifically page 7) it says use brake cleaner NOT carb cleaner which is a mistake. Maybe cheezit or vloney can chime in here on what Ford currently recommends.

also an old TSB 06-19-6 stated specifically not to use brake cleaner.

That is a mistake. Ford literature specifically states the reverse. Also, Ford_Doctor (who writes articles on FDDR also confirms this).

It is a TDR document. There is also a Ford video that I have somewhere that also states what the TSB did, but it is harder to find.
I know you were asking for a tech (cheezit) to confirm, but this one generated a lot of arguement some time back. It is hard to dispel mis-information, so I jumped in!
So - carb cleaner, not brake cleaner.
