Since the other day, it sounds like my stock vgt turns off when I am crusing at a steady speed or when it is just idiling. Now when I say it sounds like it turns off, it like I turn on a smoke switch. "I had one 6 months ago". Do you think my vanes are stuck or a chaffed wire? Are there any known issues that y'all know of?

 

I have heard that those smoke switches make your veins stick. They say not to put them on for that reason.

 

Clean your e.g.r. valve and your exaust back pressure snsr. / tube. Both of those can create puffing black smoke

 

I will give that a try, thanks TWORKS. And thanks powerstroke7, hine sight is a pain.

 

How do you go about cleaning an EGR Valve? Do you run some kind of cleaner through it or do take it apart somehow?

 

just run a cleaner through it, spray it out with brakeclean probably, dont hold me to that i've never cleaned on just replaced and deleted

 

Take out the 2 bolts that hold it on, remove the 2 orings and let it soak in break cleaner. If needed use a wire to brush off stubborn buildup

 

Thanx for the info CONNER.

 

No problem
