Anyone replace their own EGR Valve
Codes say it may need replacing. If anyone has a thread for procedure, I would greatly appreciate it as I can probably do it myself. Also where is the best place to pick up a replacement for a decent price?

EGR valves hardly fail..Don't bother replacing, u wasting your $$. Do you have EGR hi/lo flow code?..if so, I was running this code for a month..my problem didn't go away until I replaced EGR solenoid valve.
