The early trucks also have a egr temp sensor. You can even see it in this video its sticking out of the back of the intake horn. They relocated it in later models (2010 and up) like you said in the egr cross over pipe. The one thing that is missing in the video is the oil filler cap.
I have a ISB 6.7 and I am getting black smoke. I think you just showed me my problem, I am holding over to my yard to look now. I am not a mechanic, I just play one on TV, and at work...
I was about to say the same thing plus the dealership sells a cleaner specifically for cleaning these things as well as its a recommended maintenance at 67500.
Should I just replace all the gaskets and get the leak free gaskets. Im gonna be deleting my truck this year so just need a fix for now plus I don’t think it’s messed up just bad gaskets
how to diagnose the step motor tho, have brand new everything and truck only runs good with egr harness unplugged, cooler and temp sensor replaced as well, still no fix, what else could it be
If the EGR is stuck open would that cause white smoke? I don't think it's injectors because I don't have a miss, but my truck is throwing 4 codes. 2 EGR codes, 1 MAF code, and 1 turbo lose communication code. My truck with idle then go into high idle and start blowing smoke. This happens about 5 to 10 minutes after start up.
I’m looking all over the internet for that answer myself, I can’t find it anywhere. After letting off of moderate acceleration, I’m seeing temps topping out at 419°F. Sometimes hanging at 419° for a while before coming back down to @ 220° - 240°. All while pulling 7,000lb trailer.
I found this video because my 2013 Ram 2500 6.7 turned the check engine light on. My truck isn't hesitating or has any lack of power and one forum said that the light goes on for major maintenance at 67,500 miles which is about where I'm at. This is a good video because the other one I watched said to rip the EGR valve off and clean it with special cleaner. I had to special order it from Dodge and it was $25.
Usually check engine light for EGR Valve fault is what causes the concern to have the truck brought in for repairs. You may not feel an difference in power or driveability, but if the PCM detects something is wrong, such as EGR pressure, and triggers the check engine light, this video describes perfectly the part that's the culprit. I'd have to agree with the comments on cleaning vs replacing though. Unlike some Ford EGR valves, the Cummins EGR valve can be cleaned and has a good chance of behaving for a long time after.

Clean the valve, it’s easy and hundreds of dollars cheaper than replacing the egr valve.
This should have more views
Is the solenoid spring and rod supposed to come all the way out? Mine did.

Not worth cleaning??? Agreed. Oh wait, these things are not donated by mopar. CLEAN IT AND SAVE.
I’ll add, clean it yourself, and don’t let the dealer touch it for $1800 complete rip off by Chrysler they think you’re made of money

A 10 year old who can fix a bike can remove, clean, and reinstall a Cummins EGR valve with his mothers cleaning supplies and basic tools.

@@Puffdaddyjose you can. I always replace gaskets because I don’t like to do the job twice when one starts to leak.
If you have to replace it then why does Mopar make egr cleaner?
Support Oreilly for making this video.

Thank you for the advice of replacing it but you forgot to tell the price ? Over $800 so I will keep cleaning it every 70k miles 😊
Not worth cleaning if you are rich, but if you are not just clean it and ignore the sponsor advise.
Thanks
What year and model
I have 2018 Ram 2500

What was the solution
Great Video. You mentioned EGR temps. What are the normal EGR temps the 6.7l Cummins should be at? Thanks

Clean it with purple power or delete the garbage.
synptoms that brought the truck in??

not worth cleaning? lol you can clean in 15 minutes and $2 worth of cleaner...vs $900 EGR valve
great video, and very informative. Thank you.... but I know a better way to make the repair last the lifetime of the truck. ;)
Very good info .very common mistakes made as you said misdiagnoses..thank you for the video.
😮💪💪💪
Don't clean but replace? $989 vs $100 (gaskets and cleaner)? Thanks but no thanks. Mine cleaned just fine.
Its not worth cleaning???? That part is 1000.00!!!
why not just clean it
The root cause of the this is shite engineering!! Very poor design current fuels are very clean now
"Last the lifetime of the truck" LOL How dumb do you think people are?
