Tip - Spring Plate Retainers: A 2" long 3/4" pvc pipe on the bench, flip the valve over with spring plate onto pvc, then push. Retainers fall into pvc pipe with no worry of them flying across the room. A socket will also work. You're Welcome!
Your videos are the best and helped me to save money in tight times. Thanks. I threw a P02493 Code and the EGR cooler and valve was just cleaned 2K miles ago so going to try it again and hope it clears the code. Thanks again for your incredibly thorough videos!!!
Hey Dave, first, thank you for the videos. Secondly, this is the second time I did this & this time I used Simple Green instead of the EGR cleaning fluid from Mopar. If anything, I think it maybe did a better job. Plus instead of the fill up & let it sit at an angle & such, I had plenty of fluid to just immerse it in a small Rubbermaid storage box. Slosh it around, work the valve, run a brush around and through it, etc.
I have heard some people use Purple Power as well. Its always cool to see that there are other options out there. Thanks for the added info Jason and for commenting!
I just wanted to comment and thank you for the video. I took my 2016 Ram 2500 in for a water pump recall and they're saying I need $1,800 EGR cleaning parts and labor. Of course I declined and turned to TH-cam. Watching your video makes it look insanely simple and gives me all the confidence I need. You're saving a lot of people a lot of money, $1,000 labor is what this dealer wanted plus parts. I liked and subscribed as well.
On that year you only need to replace the crankcase filter....egr valve and cooler cleaning is not needed. It was part of the 67,500 service on the older trucks but not the 2016....and that’s per the service info from Chrysler. I hate when I hear shops trying to upsale all 3 items when it doesn’t apply to the year they own. It’s like a rubber stamp that they use on all year models when selling services.....lets me know they are not checking to see what’s recommend for each vehicle. Been thinking about doing a video about that topic.....just not sure what to call it yet. I need a short title.
Realize this video was several years old..THUMBS up for the excellent demonstration..one of the best detailed videos I've watched. Thank You so kindly Sir! Much Appreciated.
Hey Dave I know this is an old video ..But I just changed out my turbo it came with a brand new actuator but my truck keeps getting a deep idle at a stoplight in gear sound like it’s coming from the airbox, any idea what this could be ? Ever heard of this before,? Not sure if it’s a clogged DPF or what but I’m willing to try anything before i spend bucks and take it to a mechanic.. I’m a cheapskate and would love to solve the problem Myself.. or with someone else’s input ?
Dave, what about the solenoid itself. Can that be cleaned at the mechanical portion? I have a 2014 that isn't supposed to be cleaned, but I've had CEL Code P0402 "Excessive Flow" at EGR valve. I would like to clean the valve and replace the solenoid but they only come with valve and solenoid at $1100! CEL went away and has not returned. Now I have a P20E8 "reductant pressure too low" so looks like I need to clean the DEF injector. Man these emissions are a drag! Thank you for your help with the video's, we appreciate you! Mike
Ur an excellent mechanic. T.u. Any ideas on a P2043 code on a 2018 Ram cummins 38k mi. Reductant temp outta limits circuit A. I cant find the exact sensor. T.u.
I greatly Appreciate these Videos as I am currently watching and doing Egr value and Cooler cleaning on our 2017 Ram 2500 . I definitely owe you a 12 pack !
I’m going to do my valve and cooler next weekend. I have been watching and studying your 3 videos for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for the details and time you put into your videos really help me to save a lot of money.
+superteckmp Your welcome. Glad to see people doing their own repairs. Nothing like saving money and learning about your vehicle. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe!
Thank you so much for this video. Just had a code pop up on a 2009 motor home with the 6.7 Cummins and it was related to the EGR valve. Only 26k miles on the engine, and just over 200 hours of idle so I'm not sure why it got so sticky but I pulled it out, used purple power in the valve and let it soak for a few hours. Cleaned it up and popped it back in the engine and voila, no more code. Good thing, since we are just 2 days away from a 2000 mile road trip. Saved me at least a grand. Only one note: To the guy at Cummins who decided it'd be a great idea to paint the entire engine red, including the banjo bolt threads and the screw heads holding the EGR actuator on, fuuuuuuck you. I spent so much time removing paint in the phillips head just to be able to remove the screws. Had to brush the banjo bolt threads to remove paint and use More than half my time disassembling was dealing with that shit. Nice that Chrysler didn't do that on the Rams.
2018 ram 3500 with 67700 miles on it. Dealer is telling me I need the 67500 service. My truck just started showing the perform service in my messages....what service is needed? Is it just this egr cleaning? Should I just pay the 800 dollars and have the dealer do it since I can just write it off as repair maintenance on my taxes? Your recommendation please...i value your opinion. Thank you.
Hello there. I got an answer from Motorcity when I asked him if my 2017 Dodge Ram needed EGR Cleaning and he told me models 17 and up are not necessary but just the old models. I replaced my CCV only and that’s all. Did you do your EGR already? Maybe dealer wants to make money out of people.
Have a P0489 code for a 2008 2500 6.7 Dodge Ram. Removed vavle assembly and found the internals moving freely, no sticking or drag noted; cleaned anyway. Hooked up vavle motor / solenoid and turned ignition on and off while noting travel of "plunger". Had previously noted the "plunger" could be moved or dragged to various lengths. Is this normal or should it be permanently fixed? I have spent the better part of the afternoon attempting to locate this motor part number 5254657 / K5T70286. Various sources list the motor but say it is no longer available!!! Numerous sources list other motor / solenoid but on close examination found to be missing one of eight contacts. Can you recommend a source? Buying the whole assembly makes no sense to me. And just so you know I enjoy your videos, crisp and to the point with a presentation that say's "you can do this". You are an excellent instructor. No idle flattery! If you ever have a aircraft question contact me, it what I do.
Hey man having issue did a bunch of service 50k miles did all fluids filters went to start and had it jump it ! It shows Throttle position sensor red light ?? Please advise 2016 ram 3500 6.7 also it seems to run hot always hits high 220’s on minor hills I tow about 13 k everyday . Thanks love the channel
I have 2018 Ram 3500 tradesman and I'm cleaning egr but do you think cleaning turbo radiator in that 110,000 miles maintenance deal is important toooo!!?
your channel is great! I have a 2015 ram diesel that when I started to change fuel filters & prime them I followed the directions by turning key off & then on several times. Well when I went to start truck after it didn't start up right away, I had to shut off then try again, well it ran but now I am getting really bad gas milage, and Idel speed is up almost 1500. Is one or more injectors clogged & or EGR valve stuck, where do I start trouble shooting. Thanks
Have you ever heard of having all this done if you need your EGR cleaned? ERG cleaner soak Adjust valves Replace crank case simulation filter $1200 at Freedom. If I don’t have it done it can dump oil into the turbos.
this video saved me over 300.00...the dealership wanted to charge me 400...I got the Mopar cleaner and gaskets from a dodge dealership for about 40.00....they wanted to charge me 780.00 for the 67,500 mile checkup...400 to clean the egr valve and 250.00 to replace the crankcase filter...I got the filter from a Ford dealership who charged about 160.00 and I did it myself after watching another guy's video here...I found the filter for 70.00 on amazon but go back to work for a month and want everything done at the same time....luckily by my next 60k miles I will b over my 100k and am definitely doing the deletes....what do u recommend for deleting the crankcase filter as I just recently found out about it and TH-cam mostly talks about the egr and dpf deletes....ford didn't even know cummins had it lol
Considering replacing or cleaning this little sucker is over $700 not to mention if you have to clean or replace dpf another $1700 might as well drive down to Mexico to that bump everyone talks about
Good video. Just paid dodge $899 because they made it sound harder than it looks from you. Question, we not do your gasket surfaces just before you wash it out so you can insure no contamination going into your valve assembly?
Great video, thx for info. If the EGR is really dirty could it prevent the engine from producing any power? Started getting intermittent loss of power at start up, runs rough, 1300 dropping to max 1000 rpm even floored, no boost at all no code or cel yet but sure it's coming. 18' 4500
Thanks for the video my 4 Phillips screw were on there so tight I stripped them do you know where I could get replacement screws that hold the motor or what size they are thanks so much
I actually did a video on that topic. Link attached. If EGR valve not needing cleaning then the cooler won’t as well. th-cam.com/video/8GpgpQKxBY0/w-d-xo.html
@@MotorCityMechanic You have no idea how thankful I am for you and these videos. Today I went to take my truck in (75k miles) for an unrelated problem, and they told me I needed this EGR service done. They said it was $1750 plus $200 more for the CCV. (Since I had done the CCV @ 67.5k like my dash indicator said, I could avoid doing the $200 CCV. I told them to go through with the EGR service, but luckily caught your videos when I got home in time to stop them. Even if the EGR was required for my 2015, I learned from your videos that that price was way too much. And now that you sent me this second video link, everything is perfectly clear. I am going to do all my Christmas shopping this year with that amazon link you said to use to support you. You Rock! You just saved me $1750!
MotorCity Mechanic sir i have 6.7 ram 2017 46k miles and coolant is leaking from overflow tube dealer replaced the cap and it didnt help ,my friend had same problem and they found a crack in the egr cooler,do u know what coould it be and whats the price to fix that crack im from chicago
Thanks for this David. I just cleaned mine after a P049D while towing in the mountains. Your videos make it really easy to follow along and get it right the first time. Len
If you getting codes then you will need a scanner to clear them. You local auto parts store should be able to do that as well. Thanks for watching and for checking out this video. Make sure to subscribe
Hey I was your 200k subscriber!! YeeeHaw! So I believe I watched another video of yours where you mentioned what years required this cleaning and what years did not or do you recommend all years with this EGR get cleaned? ✌🏽
Dave thank you for your video, just a little confused, I have a 2017 3500, do I need to perform this service on all three items or just the crank case filter ?
I have a 2016 ram 2500 and my dealership is saying I need to get the EGR valve cleaned. It runs perfectly fine with 60,000miles. Should I just get the job done or wait till a engine light comes on?
That cleaning use to be part of the 67,500 mile service but not on your year. Yours only requires the crankcase filter replacement when you reach 67,500 and the perform service message comes up. So unless your having issues......no, no need. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Love the comment. Thanks and I appreciate you checking the video out. I have plenty more videos just like it so make sure to check them out and also dont forget to subscribe!
Dude, perfect video! I just got the dreaded 67,500 perform service warning and here I go. Interesting link I found at Geno's Garage showed how Truck Trend did a cleaning fluid cutaway comparison which showed how Purple Power actually did a much better job than the Mopar fluid, here's the link: www.trucktrend.com/how-to/parts-accessories/1606-we-bench-test-diesel-egr-cooler-cleaning-solutions/
When it comes to the Mopar cleaner....the one thing I do is not dilute it. The instructions say to dilute it....I use it full strength. I have heard of the purple power being used but havent tried it myself. It seems that both work at cleaning the systems. One things is that once you clean it.....it will get soot in it again due to the nature of the exhaust and how the system works....so there really is no real "clean". The purple power would be easier to get without having to either order it or go to the dealer to get it. Thanks for the link and info. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching as well and make sure to subscribe!
Hi I did the egr cleaning but there are a coupe of things going on with truck now that are weird. #1 is the reset of service light in dome how do I do that. # 2 my 4x4 low light flashes intermittently while I drive I also hear what I think is it going in and out of 4x4 only notice this while I wAs work on egr. This also happed while I had the truck off. Also I think it’s draining my battery’s cause they where fully dead the next morning. Is there a short? Anything would help this is car # 56 don’t want to kill it to. My friend owns auto parts store says I have black hand of death. Bought truck with 157k now at 215k bought last February it’s a 2500 2007.5 6.7
Cleaning just the turbo wouldnt have any affect on those items. It is just a simple unplug and unbolt job. The 4wd issue will require scanning all the modules and seeing what code or codes might be present. Battery drain will require running a parasitic draw test to see what might be staying on causing the batteries to die. There is nothing really common that I have come across for that issue. As far as the Perform Service message.....Key on engine not running, depress brake pedal 2 times and then the gas pedal slowly 2 times, then turn the key off. It might take multiple attempts to get to reset. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Hi David, ur doing an excellent job.I hope u see this post.. I'm new in the diesel world..recently purchase 2019 3500 ram .6.7 turbo diesel.. Im loosing antifreeze at a rapid speed.Did a pressure test..I saw no leaks.. Do u think my EGR COOLER need to be changed?..Not sure where the antifreeze is going.. Need ur professional opinion.. Thanks..
Why does my 2008 Dodge Ram Cummins shake at 60mph feels like the truck wants to fall apart? Already got rims tires joints checked and only shakes sometimes could it be that I have to delete it?
Thats hard to say......shakes/vibrations can be hard to check and require alot of driving and checking to try and isolate. Nothing common comes to mind.....mainly based on the "intermitant" symptoms. Most items would cause a shake all the time or each time checked.
@@MotorCityMechanicI had the same problem. Had tires, front end, EVEYTHING checked. Dodge replaced the from stabilizer rod..that didn't fix it. Turns out the "ears" the front of the frame on each side, underneath are not connected across the front of the truck. At speed they shake, vibrate, whatever you want to call it. Look on you tube under Dodge Death Wobble. Several videos about it. I bought my part off ebay for around a hundred dollars. You can put it on in about 30 minutes.. Very easy and instantly fixed the problem. I got the part with the steering bearing on it...The part, a bar, connects the left and right ears and connects in a few places.Try it, you will like the fix...actually there is a u tube video of a guy putting one on his truck. ANYBODY CAN DO IT ...very easy job to do.
I've got a 2012 Ram 3500 with error code P2454-DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER PRESSURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW. I am having trouble locating information on where the sensor is at and how to replace it. Do you have a video for this sensor or any advice on how to replace it.
I do have a video related to that sensor. I recommend checking the hoses going from it to the DPF to make sure no issues there. Also.....if there was work done recently I would make sure the hoses werent swapped. Another item is following the wiring to make sure to damage to any of the wires. Otherwise it is bolted to the side of the trans and has 2 rubber hoses that leak to metal lines that go to the DPF. Here is a video for that sensor....different code but shows you the location and replacement. th-cam.com/video/wv6pJWwZkes/w-d-xo.html
if this egr valve sticks can it cause regen issue with the dpf ?...I just ran into a dpf filling up to 80 now 90% and regen constantly staying a on issue. only code present the week prior and until the dpf issue was p242 which I replaced that temp sensor even got it out without having to swear and it appears to be gone but P1451 dpf performance and dpf at 90% still exist after 30 miles of driving ...this is the first time in 60k of me owning the truck to have the dpf full message ...I'm just curious if the egr could be stuck causing this or bad temp sensor on the egr ...obviously it could be a few issues and either way i'll be pulling the egr possibly the entire valve and cooler to flush entire system ,but I'm just curious if my thoughts on the egr causing excessive soot /regen issue is causing the dpf to fill...I guess the bad temp sensor couuld have caused it and I just have not driven enough to clean it...lol...amybe some resistors in the right spots and the entire system from turbo back could "fall off" .
Just bought a brand new 2500 6.7 , had it fully deleted befor it even hit 2000 miles , no use for all that stuff and I'll have a much more dependable truck ...no limp modes for me !
I can fully understand that. Personally I would wait until out of warranty that way any failures can be paid for by someone else other then me hahaha. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
hai motorcity mechanic nice video and it is very informative........ i have a question what about delete or bypass EGR , i would like to know more about it also what is your openion about RAM cummins engine , and which year is better?
I am going to drain and flush the cooling system on my 2012 6.7. It calls for the 5 year HOAT coolant. When you do a drain and flush at the dealership do you stay with that or do you use the 10 year OAT coolant used on the 2013s and up?
What are the symptoms of a dirty EGR system? My truck surges badly while accelerating in the 1500 to 2k rpm range, with a steady throttle and at around 20 to 40 mph. Also Surges like its running out of fuel at hiway cruise speeds like 70. Dealer says its the egr sytem cleaing that will cure it
I see on Amazon this Cleaner last to letters in description is not AA it’s AB is this the same ? Also heard that royal Purple has a EGR cleaner cheaper and was used after Mopar brand and still removed more dirt any opinion on this eager to use your video on my 2018 Ram 2500
I just got a quote of over $2k for the job. Is this a necessary task? I bought the 2016 a year ago and have only driven it $600 miles. I got no service records on it but dealer does not see a record of that ever being done. It's about 101,000 miles now and this is my first ever experience with a dealer. (I am an 80 y.o. widow... they sometimes think we know nothing.)
MCM, what about the cross over tube and intake horn from the intercooler. Should these be removed as well and cleaned? Also, since the soot is just baked on carbon, could using something like I use to clean my rifles with Ok to use or too harsh for the EGR unit?
Hey John. I dont see a reason to clean the intake horn personally. It doesnt hurt if you want but you will need a replacement gasket if you go that route. If you have the time and not in a hurry then I see no harm. As far as the cross over pipe. I do clean those from time to time depending on how dirty it is or if I had a failed EGR cooler. Just use your judgement on that. I like to use the Mopar EGR cleaner myself and I dont dilute it....I go full strength. The guys at Geno's Garage say that "Simple Green" works well but I havent had the chance to try it myself however. Thanks for the questions and make sure to subscribe
Great video much better than some who think they are great movie producers and swing the camera all over the place.Where do I find repair of right head light going out then both come on and then about 30 seconds both go out then after sitting a while they come back on then go out again.
It makes for the perfect draining platform.....keeps the parts out of the dirty fluid. It was a trick I learned by accident along time ago. I keep an old one for this reason and when it gets beat up too much I swap it out for another. Thanks for watching and for commenting Frank. Make sure to subscribe.
Have you ever looked into the Diesel Force Emissions Cleaning Program? Cleans the entire emissions system in almost less time that it took you to clean just the EGR Valve. Check it out at www.diesel-force.com
The best way to keep all this shit clean is use the best oil you can buy and change it often, good fuel with the right amount of cetane, and most importantly tow tow tow. Great video!
+CHARLES D Exactly. These trucks sometimes never get used for what they were built for and then it shows. It needs to be worked from time to time, not just to the mall and grocery store. Keeping up on fuel filter services is another item over looked by some. Thanks for the added info and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already
Hey David ive got a 2020 ram with 60.000 miles on it how do you know when you need to fo this also do they makes one kinda spray to just spray into it we hen running like the gas burners
I have a 2011 ram3500 6.7L diesel and the check engine light came ON went to autozone for free scan and it’s P049D can I clean it or replace it pls help , I’ve been watching your videos sir this time I want your expert advice thank you
Personally I would clean it, clear the code, and then see it returns over time. No harm in cleaning.....if it does return and I would replace, just not yet. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
MotorCity Mechanic thanks so much and I’ve subscribed already months ago because I like you’re videos it’s very helpful specially to guys like me who doesn’t know how to fix diesel engines
The overheating caused that code to set. Cleaning the EGR valve wont help. We need to find the cause of the overheat. Look for external coolant leaks and make sure to damage to the fan clutch wiring. If okay then I recommend checking the EGR cooler to see if wet inside. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
.Hi. I have a 2015 6.7 3500 ram. the dealer told me it is not necessary to do this EGR cleaning when I did the 67500 miles service. now I have 96k miles and i got the P20EE fault code do you see any connection between the two things? do you recommend to do it now? thanks yonadav
The 67,500 service depends on the year, the 2015 only required crankcase filter. Can you send me the VIN for that vehicle so that I can do some more checking? There was a recall on some so I want to see it applies to yours.
Is this common to have a hissing sound come out from somewhere around egr valve after cleaning the egr valve and cooler? It was only for a while right after the cleaning.
There shouldnt be unless you have an exhaust leak. Double check all the connections to make sure nothing is put of place. Any leak would show soot as well. Otherwise no noises that I have heard or maybe payed attention to.
Its strictly for emissions.....it designed to address "NOx" an emissions gas. I have seen on stealth deletes where they get unplugged and then the programmer gets used along with a few other items "modified". Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Getting ready to buy a new RAM 3500 do these 6.7's have head gasket issues? My truck will be used to carry a heavy truck camper when traveling but when not I like cruising down the HWY at high speeds given the 6.7 and the Hi output 6.7 have their own differences and especially the transmission that comes with them which one would you buy the 6.7 or the HO6.7?
I would recommending getting a flash light and inspect all things exhaust, especially around the engine and look for "soot". An exhaust leak under the hood can cause alot of smells and at the same time make sure no obvious fuel leaks incase. I see manifold gaskets leak from time to time. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe.
David, 2013 Ram 3500 6.7. Can you give me a hint or 2 on this issue. First, no check engine light. This truck continually wants to do regens, I think way too often. Maybe after 25-30 miles of around town driving. I have several friends that own these trucks and they tell me they have never experienced this. We all know they will occasionally do a regen but what could cause mine to do this so often. Truck only has 55,000 miles since new. Any ideas??? HELP!!! Thanks in advance. Terry
@@MotorCityMechanic wow thanks for responding to my question I have been following you for a very extremely long time and so happy you replied!! I have a 21 cab & chassis and was wondering should I change the CCV filter or clean the cooler? Is that recommended? Do you know why the egr it is not recommended to clean anymore? Thanks
I have a 2015 2500 Ram 6.7 cummins and the dealer sits I need to perform 1. front differential service 2. Auto Trans service with filter 3. perform EGR system cleaning service at 65,000 miles. They wanted $850 for all, do I really need all this done at 65000 miles?
I DO have a question. It appears you are a Mopar mechanic. Apparently my 2018 Ram 6.7L doesn't like being idled a lot. Anyway, I had a gross loss of power and a MIL illumination, so I took it in to the dealer as it only has 3500 miles on it. They told me that it needs an EGR cooler, that that would be covered under warranty but that it also needs the EGR to be cleaned which would NOT be covered under warranty. They quoted me $400 to clean the EGR. I declined because that's a lot of money. Anyway they told me that Mopar would void my powertrain warranty if I idle my truck too much. My question is, is that true?
This one was around 67,500 miles and part of the routine maintenance. Depending on the year....it might not be needed unless you have a problem and the diag leads to cleaning it first to see if the issue is fixed.
Question: I have a 2007 Dodge 3500 6.7 and receiving a P0107 code. I have replaced both MAP sensors still have error code. the problem while driving is lack of power over 2K RPM. I also have the red lighten bolt light. The codes will not delete with scan tool. Any ideas? Thanks
Thanks for the great video. can clogging of this this filter and EGR valve not functioning well cause poor acceleration between speeds of 30 to 45 and at times a little jump or can feel the switch of gears? Truck= Ram 3500 2008 6.7L, I have asked same q in another video where I missed the vehicle info. Thank you REPLY

Tip - Spring Plate Retainers: A 2" long 3/4" pvc pipe on the bench, flip the valve over with spring plate onto pvc, then push. Retainers fall into pvc pipe with no worry of them flying across the room. A socket will also work. You're Welcome!
Thank you
thanks for the tip i was worried about losing them in my garage thats a great idea im gonna try it 👍🏼
Your videos are the best and helped me to save money in tight times. Thanks. I threw a P02493 Code and the EGR cooler and valve was just cleaned 2K miles ago so going to try it again and hope it clears the code. Thanks again for your incredibly thorough videos!!!
I hit a bump one day and all my emission equipment fell off 😀
+bryan70546 Guess they just don't tighten the bolts like they use to haha
+MotorCity Mechanic nope guess not sir :)
+bryan70546 one day I might find me one of those bumps. For now mine is still not causing me any issues so I will try to avoid them lol
+MotorCity Mechanic I hear ya bud , mines been problem free for the last 2 years that I have had it.
I hope you at least picked up the pieces and saved them...lol
Hey Dave, first, thank you for the videos.
Secondly, this is the second time I did this & this time I used Simple Green instead of the EGR cleaning fluid from Mopar. If anything, I think it maybe did a better job. Plus instead of the fill up & let it sit at an angle & such, I had plenty of fluid to just immerse it in a small Rubbermaid storage box. Slosh it around, work the valve, run a brush around and through it, etc.
I have heard some people use Purple Power as well. Its always cool to see that there are other options out there. Thanks for the added info Jason and for commenting!
@@MotorCityMechanic i tried both the mopar and the purple power, i'd say the purple power does a 10x better job and is much cheaper.
I just wanted to comment and thank you for the video. I took my 2016 Ram 2500 in for a water pump recall and they're saying I need $1,800 EGR cleaning parts and labor. Of course I declined and turned to TH-cam. Watching your video makes it look insanely simple and gives me all the confidence I need. You're saving a lot of people a lot of money, $1,000 labor is what this dealer wanted plus parts. I liked and subscribed as well.
On that year you only need to replace the crankcase filter....egr valve and cooler cleaning is not needed. It was part of the 67,500 service on the older trucks but not the 2016....and that’s per the service info from Chrysler. I hate when I hear shops trying to upsale all 3 items when it doesn’t apply to the year they own. It’s like a rubber stamp that they use on all year models when selling services.....lets me know they are not checking to see what’s recommend for each vehicle. Been thinking about doing a video about that topic.....just not sure what to call it yet. I need a short title.
@@MotorCityMechanic You could call it "Dealer theft" lol... Thank you for the info and for being a great resource for consumers.
Yea David this Mexican really appreciate your video and all others!
My egr hasn't been so clean ever. Especially since I ran over the same bump Bryan hit.
Jason Carmichael sad thing is that once you start the truck it will get dirty again ☹️. That’s just how the system works. At least no hard build up
@@MotorCityMechanic I'm pretty sure that bump has magical properties. It's still so clean, it's like it's been deleted.

Hey Dave I know this is an old video ..But I just changed out my turbo it came with a brand new actuator but my truck keeps getting a deep idle at a stoplight in gear sound like it’s coming from the airbox, any idea what this could be ? Ever heard of this before,? Not sure if it’s a clogged DPF or what but I’m willing to try anything before i spend bucks and take it to a mechanic.. I’m a cheapskate and would love to solve the problem Myself.. or with someone else’s input ?
Dave, what about the solenoid itself. Can that be cleaned at the mechanical portion? I have a 2014 that isn't supposed to be cleaned, but I've had CEL Code P0402 "Excessive Flow" at EGR valve. I would like to clean the valve and replace the solenoid but they only come with valve and solenoid at $1100! CEL went away and has not returned. Now I have a P20E8 "reductant pressure too low" so looks like I need to clean the DEF injector. Man these emissions are a drag! Thank you for your help with the video's, we appreciate you! Mike
Ur an excellent mechanic. T.u. Any ideas on a P2043 code on a 2018 Ram cummins 38k mi. Reductant temp outta limits circuit A. I cant find the exact sensor. T.u.
I greatly Appreciate these Videos as I am currently watching and doing Egr value and Cooler cleaning on our 2017 Ram 2500 . I definitely owe you a 12 pack !
I appreciate the comment and kind words Jimmy. Glad that the video helped
Excellent job
Thanks David
Great videos! Do you generally replace the gaskets as well or just if needed?
Dude you explain it so well and make it look easy. Great video.
I’m going to do my valve and cooler next weekend. I have been watching and studying your 3 videos for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for the details and time you put into your videos really help me to save a lot of money.
Thanks for checking the videos out! Glad I can help and be able to share what I know. Make sure to subscribe.
thank you for the video. you will save me expensive dealer invoices
+superteckmp Your welcome. Glad to see people doing their own repairs. Nothing like saving money and learning about your vehicle. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe!
Thank you so much for this video. Just had a code pop up on a 2009 motor home with the 6.7 Cummins and it was related to the EGR valve. Only 26k miles on the engine, and just over 200 hours of idle so I'm not sure why it got so sticky but I pulled it out, used purple power in the valve and let it soak for a few hours. Cleaned it up and popped it back in the engine and voila, no more code. Good thing, since we are just 2 days away from a 2000 mile road trip. Saved me at least a grand.
Only one note: To the guy at Cummins who decided it'd be a great idea to paint the entire engine red, including the banjo bolt threads and the screw heads holding the EGR actuator on, fuuuuuuck you. I spent so much time removing paint in the phillips head just to be able to remove the screws. Had to brush the banjo bolt threads to remove paint and use More than half my time disassembling was dealing with that shit. Nice that Chrysler didn't do that on the Rams.
2018 ram 3500 with 67700 miles on it. Dealer is telling me I need the 67500 service. My truck just started showing the perform service in my messages....what service is needed? Is it just this egr cleaning? Should I just pay the 800 dollars and have the dealer do it since I can just write it off as repair maintenance on my taxes? Your recommendation please...i value your opinion. Thank you.
Hello there. I got an answer from Motorcity when I asked him if my 2017 Dodge Ram needed EGR Cleaning and he told me models 17 and up are not necessary but just the old models. I replaced my CCV only and that’s all. Did you do your EGR already? Maybe dealer wants to make money out of people.
Have a P0489 code for a 2008 2500 6.7 Dodge Ram. Removed vavle assembly and found the internals moving freely, no sticking or drag noted; cleaned anyway. Hooked up vavle motor / solenoid and turned ignition on and off while noting travel of "plunger". Had previously noted the "plunger" could be moved or dragged to various lengths. Is this normal or should it be permanently fixed? I have spent the better part of the afternoon attempting to locate this motor part number 5254657 / K5T70286. Various sources list the motor but say it is no longer available!!! Numerous sources list other motor / solenoid but on close examination found to be missing one of eight contacts. Can you recommend a source? Buying the whole assembly makes no sense to me.
And just so you know I enjoy your videos, crisp and to the point with a presentation that say's "you can do this". You are an excellent instructor. No idle flattery! If you ever have a aircraft question contact me, it what I do.
Hey man having issue did a bunch of service 50k miles did all fluids filters went to start and had it jump it ! It shows Throttle position sensor red light ?? Please advise 2016 ram 3500 6.7 also it seems to run hot always hits high 220’s on minor hills I tow about 13 k everyday . Thanks love the channel
I have 2018 Ram 3500 tradesman and I'm cleaning egr but do you think cleaning turbo radiator in that 110,000 miles maintenance deal is important toooo!!?
your channel is great! I have a 2015 ram diesel that when I started to change fuel filters & prime them I followed the directions by turning key off & then on several times. Well when I went to start truck after it didn't start up right away, I had to shut off then try again, well it ran but now I am getting really bad gas milage, and Idel speed is up almost 1500. Is one or more injectors clogged & or EGR valve stuck, where do I start trouble shooting. Thanks
Have you ever heard of having all this done if you need your EGR cleaned?
ERG cleaner soak
Adjust valves
Replace crank case simulation filter
$1200 at Freedom.
If I don’t have it done it can dump oil into the turbos.
Year and mileage?
this video saved me over 300.00...the dealership wanted to charge me 400...I got the Mopar cleaner and gaskets from a dodge dealership for about 40.00....they wanted to charge me 780.00 for the 67,500 mile checkup...400 to clean the egr valve and 250.00 to replace the crankcase filter...I got the filter from a Ford dealership who charged about 160.00 and I did it myself after watching another guy's video here...I found the filter for 70.00 on amazon but go back to work for a month and want everything done at the same time....luckily by my next 60k miles I will b over my 100k and am definitely doing the deletes....what do u recommend for deleting the crankcase filter as I just recently found out about it and TH-cam mostly talks about the egr and dpf deletes....ford didn't even know cummins had it lol
Considering replacing or cleaning this little sucker is over $700 not to mention if you have to clean or replace dpf another $1700 might as well drive down to Mexico to that bump everyone talks about
Good video. Just paid dodge $899 because they made it sound harder than it looks from you. Question, we not do your gasket surfaces just before you wash it out so you can insure no contamination going into your valve assembly?
You sir are a real Mechanic. Thank you!
Many thanks for the kind words! Make sure to subscribe Steve and enjoy the weekend
Great video, thx for info. If the EGR is really dirty could it prevent the engine from producing any power? Started getting intermittent loss of power at start up, runs rough, 1300 dropping to max 1000 rpm even floored, no boost at all no code or cel yet but sure it's coming. 18' 4500
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks.
Bob King Your very much welcome Bob. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Its always greatly appreciated.
When you say “spray it out” after you drain the cooler are you just using compressed air? Or some kind of aerosol electric parts typecleaner?
I literally wash it out with water until it’s clean and then let it air dry
Awesome video!!! How did you clean the gasket surfaces?
Thank you brother you save a lot of us money. God bless your heart.
Always glad to help. Thanks for the feedback and make sure to subscribe.
Thanks for the video my 4 Phillips screw were on there so tight I stripped them do you know where I could get replacement screws that hold the motor or what size they are thanks so much
what is the use of having dual poppet egr why not using single poppet egr.
If flow aspect is there than why to use 2 outlets ?
I actually have no idea. I have never checked into it.
I saw you mentioned that 2015 Ram 2500 Diesels don't require EGR cleaning. But does the EGR cooler need cleaning at 67.5k for this model?
I actually did a video on that topic. Link attached. If EGR valve not needing cleaning then the cooler won’t as well. th-cam.com/video/8GpgpQKxBY0/w-d-xo.html
@@MotorCityMechanic You have no idea how thankful I am for you and these videos. Today I went to take my truck in (75k miles) for an unrelated problem, and they told me I needed this EGR service done. They said it was $1750 plus $200 more for the CCV. (Since I had done the CCV @ 67.5k like my dash indicator said, I could avoid doing the $200 CCV. I told them to go through with the EGR service, but luckily caught your videos when I got home in time to stop them. Even if the EGR was required for my 2015, I learned from your videos that that price was way too much. And now that you sent me this second video link, everything is perfectly clear. I am going to do all my Christmas shopping this year with that amazon link you said to use to support you. You Rock! You just saved me $1750!
Well done video and explanation.... very clear , understandable...thank you
Hey thanks for the video, you conveyed a lot of great information in a concise easy to watch format. Great Job!!!
Many thanks Chris! Thanks for checking the video out and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
I sure did. I tackled this job yesterday. Used your videos as a guide. Thanks.
Your welcome Chris!
MotorCity Mechanic sir i have 6.7 ram 2017 46k miles and coolant is leaking from overflow tube dealer replaced the cap and it didnt help ,my friend had same problem and they found a crack in the egr cooler,do u know what coould it be and whats the price to fix that crack im from chicago
Thanks for this David. I just cleaned mine after a P049D while towing in the mountains. Your videos make it really easy to follow along and get it right the first time.
Len
I'm about to do this - after you rinse the EGR cleaner out, what are you spraying it down with? Just carb cleaner?
Just water. I rinse it clean and let it air dry before installing. Thanks for watching and for the question. Make sure to subscribe
Joshua Mendoza I put mine in the washing machine. Was a little noisy but came out smelling like Downy fabric softener. 😏
Thank you for the tip! My dealer wanted over 1000.00 for this service, what about clearing or resetting the codes?
If you getting codes then you will need a scanner to clear them. You local auto parts store should be able to do that as well. Thanks for watching and for checking out this video. Make sure to subscribe
Hey I was your 200k subscriber!! YeeeHaw!
So I believe I watched another video of yours where you mentioned what years required this cleaning and what years did not or do you recommend all years with this EGR get cleaned?
✌🏽
Dave thank you for your video, just a little confused, I have a 2017 3500, do I need to perform this service on all three items or just the crank case filter ?
Actually did a video on this and hope it helps th-cam.com/video/8GpgpQKxBY0/w-d-xo.html
I'll give it a try, looks simple enough. Thanks there buddy, I subscribed too ehh
Appreciate you subscribing. Take your time and you wont have any issues.....its simple enough and will save you alot of money.
I have a 2016 ram 2500 and my dealership is saying I need to get the EGR valve cleaned. It runs perfectly fine with 60,000miles. Should I just get the job done or wait till a engine light comes on?
That cleaning use to be part of the 67,500 mile service but not on your year. Yours only requires the crankcase filter replacement when you reach 67,500 and the perform service message comes up. So unless your having issues......no, no need. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
best dodge instructor ever!!!! thanks so much
No no-nonsense, simple forward explanations and instructions...good job, 👍.
Love the comment. Thanks and I appreciate you checking the video out. I have plenty more videos just like it so make sure to check them out and also dont forget to subscribe!
Dude, perfect video! I just got the dreaded 67,500 perform service warning and here I go. Interesting link I found at Geno's Garage showed how Truck Trend did a cleaning fluid cutaway comparison which showed how Purple Power actually did a much better job than the Mopar fluid, here's the link: www.trucktrend.com/how-to/parts-accessories/1606-we-bench-test-diesel-egr-cooler-cleaning-solutions/
When it comes to the Mopar cleaner....the one thing I do is not dilute it. The instructions say to dilute it....I use it full strength. I have heard of the purple power being used but havent tried it myself. It seems that both work at cleaning the systems. One things is that once you clean it.....it will get soot in it again due to the nature of the exhaust and how the system works....so there really is no real "clean". The purple power would be easier to get without having to either order it or go to the dealer to get it. Thanks for the link and info. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching as well and make sure to subscribe!
Hi I did the egr cleaning but there are a coupe of things going on with truck now that are weird. #1 is the reset of service light in dome how do I do that. # 2 my 4x4 low light flashes intermittently while I drive I also hear what I think is it going in and out of 4x4 only notice this while I wAs work on egr. This also happed while I had the truck off. Also I think it’s draining my battery’s cause they where fully dead the next morning. Is there a short? Anything would help this is car # 56 don’t want to kill it to. My friend owns auto parts store says I have black hand of death. Bought truck with 157k now at 215k bought last February it’s a 2500 2007.5 6.7
Cleaning just the turbo wouldnt have any affect on those items. It is just a simple unplug and unbolt job. The 4wd issue will require scanning all the modules and seeing what code or codes might be present. Battery drain will require running a parasitic draw test to see what might be staying on causing the batteries to die. There is nothing really common that I have come across for that issue. As far as the Perform Service message.....Key on engine not running, depress brake pedal 2 times and then the gas pedal slowly 2 times, then turn the key off. It might take multiple attempts to get to reset. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Hi David, ur doing an excellent job.I hope u see this post.. I'm new in the diesel world..recently purchase 2019 3500 ram .6.7 turbo diesel.. Im loosing antifreeze at a rapid speed.Did a pressure test..I saw no leaks.. Do u think my EGR COOLER need to be changed?..Not sure where the antifreeze is going.. Need ur professional opinion.. Thanks..
Why does my 2008 Dodge Ram Cummins shake at 60mph feels like the truck wants to fall apart? Already got rims tires joints checked and only shakes sometimes could it be that I have to delete it?
Thats hard to say......shakes/vibrations can be hard to check and require alot of driving and checking to try and isolate. Nothing common comes to mind.....mainly based on the "intermitant" symptoms. Most items would cause a shake all the time or each time checked.
@@MotorCityMechanicI had the same problem. Had tires, front end, EVEYTHING checked. Dodge replaced the from stabilizer rod..that didn't fix it. Turns out the "ears" the front of the frame on each side, underneath are not connected across the front of the truck. At speed they shake, vibrate, whatever you want to call it. Look on you tube under Dodge Death Wobble. Several videos about it. I bought my part off ebay for around a hundred dollars. You can put it on in about 30 minutes.. Very easy and instantly fixed the problem. I got the part with the steering bearing on it...The part, a bar, connects the left and right ears and connects in a few places.Try it, you will like the fix...actually there is a u tube video of a guy putting one on his truck. ANYBODY CAN DO IT ...very easy job to do.
Phillip Weeks thanks for that info. Death wobble can be a hard thing to diag for sure and different things help it.
New to diesels. Is that procedure basically the same for an ecodiesel? Anything specific for that model? Thanks man.
As far as I know it doesnt apply to the Ecodiesel.....just the older 6.7 Cummins. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
I've got a 2012 Ram 3500 with error code P2454-DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER PRESSURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW. I am having trouble locating information on where the sensor is at and how to replace it. Do you have a video for this sensor or any advice on how to replace it.
I do have a video related to that sensor. I recommend checking the hoses going from it to the DPF to make sure no issues there. Also.....if there was work done recently I would make sure the hoses werent swapped. Another item is following the wiring to make sure to damage to any of the wires. Otherwise it is bolted to the side of the trans and has 2 rubber hoses that leak to metal lines that go to the DPF. Here is a video for that sensor....different code but shows you the location and replacement. th-cam.com/video/wv6pJWwZkes/w-d-xo.html
if this egr valve sticks can it cause regen issue with the dpf ?...I just ran into a dpf filling up to 80 now 90% and regen constantly staying a on issue. only code present the week prior and until the dpf issue was p242 which I replaced that temp sensor even got it out without having to swear and it appears to be gone but P1451 dpf performance and dpf at 90% still exist after 30 miles of driving ...this is the first time in 60k of me owning the truck to have the dpf full message ...I'm just curious if the egr could be stuck causing this or bad temp sensor on the egr ...obviously it could be a few issues and either way i'll be pulling the egr possibly the entire valve and cooler to flush entire system ,but I'm just curious if my thoughts on the egr causing excessive soot /regen issue is causing the dpf to fill...I guess the bad temp sensor couuld have caused it and I just have not driven enough to clean it...lol...amybe some resistors in the right spots and the entire system from turbo back could "fall off" .
Just bought a brand new 2500 6.7 , had it fully deleted befor it even hit 2000 miles , no use for all that stuff and I'll have a much more dependable truck ...no limp modes for me !
I can fully understand that. Personally I would wait until out of warranty that way any failures can be paid for by someone else other then me hahaha. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
hai motorcity mechanic nice video and it is very informative........ i have a question what about delete or bypass EGR , i would like to know more about it also what is your openion about RAM cummins engine , and which year is better?
I am going to drain and flush the cooling system on my 2012 6.7. It calls for the 5 year HOAT coolant. When you do a drain and flush at the dealership do you stay with that or do you use the 10 year OAT coolant used on the 2013s and up?
What are the symptoms of a dirty EGR system? My truck surges badly while accelerating in the 1500 to 2k rpm range, with a steady throttle and at around 20 to 40 mph. Also Surges like its running out of fuel at hiway cruise speeds like 70. Dealer says its the egr sytem cleaing that will cure it
The check engine light is the most common symptom. Its easy enough to clean and worth trying.
I see on Amazon this Cleaner last to letters in description is not AA it’s AB is this the same ? Also heard that royal Purple has a EGR cleaner cheaper and was used after Mopar brand and still removed more dirt any opinion on this eager to use your video on my 2018 Ram 2500
That was very simple thank you for the information. I can’t believe the dealer charges $1500 and more to clean it
I just got a quote of over $2k for the job. Is this a necessary task? I bought the 2016 a year ago and have only driven it $600 miles. I got no service records on it but dealer does not see a record of that ever being done. It's about 101,000 miles now and this is my first ever experience with a dealer. (I am an 80 y.o. widow... they sometimes think we know nothing.)
MCM, what about the cross over tube and intake horn from the intercooler. Should these be removed as well and cleaned? Also, since the soot is just baked on carbon, could using something like I use to clean my rifles with Ok to use or too harsh for the EGR unit?
Hey John. I dont see a reason to clean the intake horn personally. It doesnt hurt if you want but you will need a replacement gasket if you go that route. If you have the time and not in a hurry then I see no harm. As far as the cross over pipe. I do clean those from time to time depending on how dirty it is or if I had a failed EGR cooler. Just use your judgement on that. I like to use the Mopar EGR cleaner myself and I dont dilute it....I go full strength. The guys at Geno's Garage say that "Simple Green" works well but I havent had the chance to try it myself however. Thanks for the questions and make sure to subscribe
My dealer wanted $400.00 which is not bad compared to your dealer...I will do it..hasnt been done in 175K miles
Great video much better than some who think they are great movie producers and swing the camera all over the place.Where do I find repair of right head light going out then both come on and then about 30 seconds both go out then after sitting a while they come back on then go out again.
What is the year of the truck?
lol i love how youre working on a radiator
It makes for the perfect draining platform.....keeps the parts out of the dirty fluid. It was a trick I learned by accident along time ago. I keep an old one for this reason and when it gets beat up too much I swap it out for another. Thanks for watching and for commenting Frank. Make sure to subscribe.
Have you ever looked into the Diesel Force Emissions Cleaning Program? Cleans the entire emissions system in almost less time that it took you to clean just the EGR Valve. Check it out at www.diesel-force.com
Could you drop the egr valve in a bucket of Berry Man's carb cleaner and get the same results? Removing the electric first of course.
The best way to keep all this shit clean is use the best oil you can buy and change it often, good fuel with the right amount of cetane, and most importantly tow tow tow. Great video!
+CHARLES D Exactly. These trucks sometimes never get used for what they were built for and then it shows. It needs to be worked from time to time, not just to the mall and grocery store. Keeping up on fuel filter services is another item over looked by some. Thanks for the added info and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already

Hey David ive got a 2020 ram with 60.000 miles on it how do you know when you need to fo this also do they makes one kinda spray to just spray into it we hen running like the gas burners
I have a 2011 ram3500 6.7L diesel and the check engine light came ON went to autozone for free scan and it’s P049D can I clean it or replace it pls help , I’ve been watching your videos sir this time I want your expert advice thank you
Personally I would clean it, clear the code, and then see it returns over time. No harm in cleaning.....if it does return and I would replace, just not yet. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
MotorCity Mechanic thanks so much and I’ve subscribed already months ago because I like you’re videos it’s very helpful specially to guys like me who doesn’t know how to fix diesel engines
and the dealer will charge what?>
My local dealer quoted $1000
In your experience, what causes the message “Service Exhaust Required” See dealer now?
Mine has a lot of soot on the spring and retainer. Is that normal? Cuz I noticed your is pretty clean
Soot is normal. Everyone I have ever removed had a build up. As long as its not a wet sooty mess you will be fine.
The Chrysler dealership where I'm at told me $1,200 for this service...
do you wash cleaner out with just water?
Yes, wash with water and let air dry. Thanks for asking
I have a p2457 code that came up and also my truck started to over heat, should I start by cleaning the erg valve and cooler?
The overheating caused that code to set. Cleaning the EGR valve wont help. We need to find the cause of the overheat. Look for external coolant leaks and make sure to damage to the fan clutch wiring. If okay then I recommend checking the EGR cooler to see if wet inside. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Is the EGR cleaner too strong if not diluted? Looks like you poured right from the quart of cleaner? 6:57
.Hi. I have a 2015 6.7 3500 ram. the dealer told me it is not necessary to do this EGR cleaning when I did the 67500 miles service. now I have 96k miles and i got the P20EE fault code do you see any connection between the two things? do you recommend to do it now? thanks yonadav
The 67,500 service depends on the year, the 2015 only required crankcase filter. Can you send me the VIN for that vehicle so that I can do some more checking? There was a recall on some so I want to see it applies to yours.
Thank you. the VIN number is 3C63R3DL5FG590460
Is this common to have a hissing sound come out from somewhere around egr valve after cleaning the egr valve and cooler? It was only for a while right after the cleaning.
There shouldnt be unless you have an exhaust leak. Double check all the connections to make sure nothing is put of place. Any leak would show soot as well. Otherwise no noises that I have heard or maybe payed attention to.
I have a 2015 ram cummins 6.7 . Is it true that on the 2015 I only need to replace the ccv filter?
What is the purpose of the EGR? My mechanic disconnected the solenoid after deleting the DEF system.
Its strictly for emissions.....it designed to address "NOx" an emissions gas. I have seen on stealth deletes where they get unplugged and then the programmer gets used along with a few other items "modified". Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
FIX YOUR LEAKY AIR LINE
Great video, Might be a dumb question, any idea how often you need to do this?
Use Purple Power versus the Mopar cleaner - i've used both and Purple does the job much better and cheaper
Getting ready to buy a new RAM 3500 do these 6.7's have head gasket issues? My truck will be used to carry a heavy truck camper when traveling but when not I like cruising down the HWY at high speeds given the 6.7 and the Hi output 6.7 have their own differences and especially the transmission that comes with them which one would you buy the 6.7 or the HO6.7?
Thanks for sharing all this great information. Do you ever clean the cross-over pipe during a service like this?
Typically I dont unless I have a cooler failure. It doesnt hurt to however. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe and have a Happy New Year
Can I clean it without removing keepers ? And can I use wd 40 ?
Thanks for the great video
I started to smell exhaust inside the cab in my 2016 ram 2500 when idling, hope if I do this it will help
I would recommending getting a flash light and inspect all things exhaust, especially around the engine and look for "soot". An exhaust leak under the hood can cause alot of smells and at the same time make sure no obvious fuel leaks incase. I see manifold gaskets leak from time to time.

Can you do a video on replacing fuelrail 2011 ram 2500
David,
2013 Ram 3500 6.7. Can you give me a hint or 2 on this issue. First, no check engine light. This truck continually wants to do regens, I think way too often. Maybe after 25-30 miles of around town driving. I have several friends that own these trucks and they tell me they have never experienced this. We all know they will occasionally do a regen but what could cause mine to do this so often. Truck only has 55,000 miles since new. Any ideas??? HELP!!! Thanks in advance.
Terry
Can you do a video on the new style egr on the 2021s?
I don’t. Cleaning isn’t one of the recommended services on that, only in the older 6.7 engines so you shouldnt have to
@@MotorCityMechanic wow thanks for responding to my question I have been following you for a very extremely long time and so happy you replied!! I have a 21 cab & chassis and was wondering should I change the CCV filter or clean the cooler? Is that recommended? Do you know why the egr it is not recommended to clean anymore? Thanks
I have a 2015 2500 Ram 6.7 cummins and the dealer sits I need to perform 1. front differential service 2. Auto Trans service with filter 3. perform EGR system cleaning service at 65,000 miles. They wanted $850 for all, do I really need all this done at 65000 miles?
I DO have a question. It appears you are a Mopar mechanic. Apparently my 2018 Ram 6.7L doesn't like being idled a lot. Anyway, I had a gross loss of power and a MIL illumination, so I took it in to the dealer as it only has 3500 miles on it. They told me that it needs an EGR cooler, that that would be covered under warranty but that it also needs the EGR to be cleaned which would NOT be covered under warranty. They quoted me $400 to clean the EGR. I declined because that's a lot of money. Anyway they told me that Mopar would void my powertrain warranty if I idle my truck too much. My question is, is that true?
How many miles did the engine have when you did this cleaning?
This one was around 67,500 miles and part of the routine maintenance. Depending on the year....it might not be needed unless you have a problem and the diag leads to cleaning it first to see if the issue is fixed.
Question: I have a 2007 Dodge 3500 6.7 and receiving a P0107 code. I have replaced both MAP sensors still have error code. the problem while driving is lack of power over 2K RPM. I also have the red lighten bolt light. The codes will not delete with scan tool. Any ideas? Thanks
Is there anything else you can use to soak it in? That bottle of cleaner is $80CDN.
I have heard some have great luck with Simple Green.
Thanks for the great video. can clogging of this this filter and EGR valve not functioning well cause poor acceleration between speeds of 30 to 45 and at times a little jump or can feel the switch of gears? Truck= Ram 3500 2008 6.7L, I have asked same q in another video where I missed the vehicle info. Thank you

Great video! What are the Mopar part numbers for the valve gaskets and where can we get them?
Many thanks for watching. Here is the part# 68005184AA. I always recommend calling genosgarage.com and telling them what you need. They do have the gaskets and you wont find a better company to deal with. Let them know I sent you and make sure to subscribe
