egr cleaner

Larry Baker · Nov 26, 2018

Well went today to the mopar dealer to get me some cleaner for my egr cleaning on my diesel

Well they no longer offer the pour in the valve kind that you used after you took everything apart

The kind they have now is one that you have to have a tool to inject into the engine without assembly

My thought is if it was important enough at first to be able to feel how easy is was to move the valve,how come is it ok now to not even touch it

He explained that they can tell if its functioning without taking it apart

Well if its not giving trouble you already know that but what about five thousand miles from home later

Question is now what kind of cleaner are ya ll that are still doing it the old way using and where do you get it

Amazon got anything??

Thanks

I have never heard of EGR cleaner. Two things I do know is that idling is what makes them get plugged up, and the one on my Ford Navistar comes off and cleans in just a few minutes.

Man that's a lot better then the newer mack
trucks.Them you had to remove and take them
to the mack shop to be put in a cooker to
cook them out to be clean.It would take 3
to 4 hours to do.

Yes the removal is the deal but they now have a cleaner from mopar that you don't have to take all that aprt if you have a tool but id rather take it apart and fill the way it slips back and too rather than spray it and watch the computer and say its working..When they are a little stiff you can keep cleaning or look for a problem the new way they just see its working and charge yu the same..I see some reply as this is a gas,no IM sorry but its a diesel

Jd man, The newer Macks that I am familiar with don't need to go to the dealer unless the owner or driver screws it up. If you idle them too much they have to sit parked and do a regeneration. If you don't let it sit and regenerate you havre to either tow it or remove the filter. Of course if it has other Mack problems like refusal to start or shutting off on the road, then it would tend to get left idling which leads to needing a parked regeneration.

On these over the road trucks the a light
on the dash would come on and when the
driver stop some where he would switch it
on to burn it or regen and then the truck
would idle up some and then like rerun the
exhaust to burn it out.It would smoke more
out the exhaust like the old macks did just
going thew the gears.When it's in this mold
you have to sit there tell it's done and
after 4 to 5 of them burns it just didn't
seam to clean it good enf and then the
truck would go into its low power mold and
then that's when you had to pull it apart
one was in the exhaust pipe and the other
one was under the hood what a pain.
