Scotty Kilmer Hi Scott. Can you tell me where my EGR part us in my truck ? I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 4wd 6.0l engine. It's an LT. I have tried almost everything ....this stupid truck is a pulling/ hauling truck. It pulls horse trailers ect...... .But here lately I. Loosing power. I was going up the Mountain after work today, and it lost power. It made it but at 15 mph all the way over. Then last week we had a friend that needed some stuff hauled to Landfill. It was only about 100 extra lbs, and once again lost power... help !! Thanks

Even if rusted out, get some WD40 and spray it and run the vehicle a couple of times, on your last run, spray the bolts with cold water when the engine is still hot and then try to remove the bolt, if you have an impact gun it will come off easy. I did this to a 2003 Honda Pilot that I thought for sure that it would break off because of the way it looked (almost melted).

I love your channel, I love all your videos, all that I've seen there are still a lot that I wanna see from you. You're absolutely right in this video and perfect sense. BTW, when you blew on the EGR with your mouth I felt like it was a little too close for comfort. I hope there weren't any carbon that stuck to your lips. Don't be disappointed though, bec., I went on to do an EGR delete. Blocked the in & out of that sucker completely. From the in section & it's out section of my 4runner turbo diesel. Not legal in some places. If your DMV is very thorough. I just wanna share the other things I do for my vehicle some of your followers might agree or like it & some might not, just make sure you use top grade but low viscous 100%synth oil like pennzoil or valvoline are my faves, next in line are castrol, motul, or mobil1 0w-30, zic is good too & also liqui moly, I've used it. synth all the way. 0w-30. Add more grounding cables and don't neglect to put in some fresh top grade glow plugs if you can get an slightly uprated aftermarket glow plug, get it. Don't go bonkers with it. Just the next step up. Not two or definitely note 3 or more steps up. Use aftermarket air filters like K&N.

Thats some good advice - i’m gonna try this. My Impala 2002 keeps throwing this code(p0401) dealership said they cleaned it, but the code came back. So i’m thinking i need to get in there and really clean it/maybe lube it like you did there. Its also got an evap code now, unsure where it’s coming from. The car is only at 36K, but it has likely sat a while, and i got it from cali (hot weather) and i live in wi. I’m still trying to untangle all the issues with it.

Apparently "the book" suggests removing the transmission to due there not being enough clearance to remove the bolts at the bottom of the tube. Ridiculous! I went a step further and disconnected the cats to prevent debris from plugging them up. An "8hr" job was reduced to 1 hr including one well deserved cold one at the end of the job.

Do you need to spray Carburetor cleaner and WD-40 inside if it is a new EGR Valve? Also maybe it is better to spray inside PB Blast Penetrate or Fluid Film (for Rust and Corrosion protection)? I installed a new EGR, but it didn't fix the light (code P0446, but sometimes also P0401: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow insufficient Detected). I didn't clean the holes (neither feeding nor Intake manifold ones), I didn't know about that part of the work. Thank you for a great film.

No, not necessarily. Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve would get carbon buildup from unburned fuel. There are numerous ways that this could happen. Bad spark plug, bad O2 sensor, bad vacuum line, blow-by, almost anything. Carbon build up inside the engine is usually blow-by, that has reacted to your oil. All cars have some blow-by, so it's by an individual case-by-case basis. You no longer see black soot [Carbon buildup] on tailpipes because of Catalytic Convertors.
