Torqued_Up Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yes, EGR valves have been hard to get and my parts dept. won't stock them for some reason. When I need one I have to order it and upgrade it and I might see it the next day depending on when I ask for it. Early enough in the day and I see it late the next day from Fed Ex. Is there something that prevents us from ordering these for stock or is my parts not workin with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTechCA Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 we try and keep 2 in stock at all times along with 5 EBP sensors. with EGR valves on and off back order status all the time we dont give them up to other dealers. last i heard from my parts manager there was more EGR valves on back order then they had ready to ship to dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Yes! You were right Dale, Our stock order was filled this week and just in time, I needed two today. This is apparently a new part? It supersedes all 2004 and 2003 EGR valves? These had a plastic bar code sticker and a new type of valve-to-manifold gasket. Let us hope this is a better valve but I don't think that is going to solve the excess carbon build up on these things. I am starting to think that EGR on a diesel is not going to stand the test of time unless "they" can clean up the combustion a lot. Supposedly, removing sulfur from fuel is going to clean up a lot of the soot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
