I use the TerraClean tool and products to clean the entire system in about 1.5 hours. I do not have to remove the valve, I hook in at the temp sensor, remove the egr actuator, and replace it with a thumb screw plate so I can open and close the valve. The system cleans the intake, grid heater and the combustion chamber,egr, egr cooler, turbo, and dpf. Basically everything "tip to tailpipe" Excellent video however, the TerraClean system has been life changing.
Lol, just trying to keep it going. I guess like everything else, once you know, you keep learning something new and more. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin
Might I ask how many miles you had on the truck when you did this? Also, lots of towing/ highway driving? I’m at 125k with mine with lots of towing and 75% highway driving. I don’t notice any of the symptoms of a dirty egr. Just curious if it’s necessary. Thank you.
I think this was the second time I did this but about 75-80,000 miles since the last time. It wasn't bad at all. Mine is 100% long highway miles 250-400 miles between stops. I just do mine as preventive maintenance. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin
Out of curiosity, is this the same thing as the check engine light that is supposed to come on around 60k miles? It basically tells you to take to a dealer for an EGR clean. If so, this a $1200 dollar service to do what you just demonstrated?
The 60,000 mile service light is to replace the crankcase filter. The EGR and EGR cooler is based on what year model you have. Your owner manual should give some detail on when to have that service done. I think it is usually around 75-100,000 miles. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin
When my EGR cooler went bad, it was used probably 4 gallons of coolant from Washington back home to MS. So if your loosing coolant and don't see a leak, EGR cooler could be bad. Your EGR crossover tube will be wet to pasty instead of black dry soot. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

@@homegrowncountryhomeplace thank you sir.
did your truck consume radiator fluid prior to this repair,? if so how much?

But did you coean the carbon in the other side?
Yes! I soaked it in the carburetor cleaner and moved the valve all the way back and sprayed in behind the valve, Hope this helps!
@@homegrowncountryhomeplace im talkin the carbon in where the egr is connected, those 2 holes you see after you remove the egr
@@Apabilliardnewwave No, I didn't do any cleaning on the intake side.
