egr

[mmterrill]

does anyone know if you can buy a stainless steel egr valve? ive got to replace mine every few years and its a pain. or is there a way to delete it all together?

Don't delete the EGR, figure out why it is eating up valves.

Or get one painted.

 

[mmterrill]

u think painting it would help? hell i would think they would make them out of stainless but i cant find one.

What engine do you have under this EGR valve?

What is breaking or "going out" that causes you to replace it?


The EGR system keeps cylinder combustion temperatures lower, so your valves and pistons don't melt, preceeded by the "pinging/detonation".
It doesn't decrease available power.
It saves fuel, so increases MPG.
Also reduces emissions.
All around winner of a system, one of the better ideas from engine designers.

its where the saucer shape meets the rest of the egr valve. then i usually have to buy another pipe bc i break it somehow.

Start with high-temp nickle antisieze on the threads and under the collar. If you are killing diaphragms something is getting too hot. Or you are just buying really cheaply made shit. I have never seen one of those fail, ever.

A VHT primer like they use on header should help keep the rust out though.

 

[mmterrill]

prob cheap shit from china. even the motorcraft one didnt last that long maybe a year longer than this one.

 

[mmterrill]

its a 4.0 also

 

[mmterrill]

for a temporary fix do u think jbweld would work on it?

 

[adsm08]

I would have to see pics of what is happening to decide if JBweld will do anything but smell bad.

k i bought me a new one from autozone and painted it with high heat paint. does anyone know what size bolt tread it is. they are rusted off everytime i have to replace an egr so this time i want to buy some stainless ones so it will be easy to change out.

Do you guys know why some Rangers came with no EGR? my truck came from the factory with no EGR. It was a Hawaii truck. I would like to know what they did different on the truck that came without them. Different tune? I love not having one BTW. Less hassle and the motor runs great so I don't see why it's needed.

 

[mmterrill]

yeah i wish mine was like urs. anyone know what size bolt i need or how i can find out?

 

[mmterrill]

anyone know what kind of bolts are used for the egr?

 

[mmterrill]

anyone
