Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / June 20091998 F-150 EGR Pipe Cracked
My EGR pipe is rusted and has a hole in it. I can hear the engine exhaust when the engine is under load. The dealer quoted me $1,600 to replace it. I'm not kidding. He said he's worried that the bolts are rusted and may break off when trying to remove the nuts. 1. Is this accessible enough that I could attempt to replace it myself? 2. What do you think of simple wrapping heat resistant tape around the hole? Thanks!!! AABob > My EGR pipe is rusted and has a hole in it. I can hear the engine > exhaust when the engine is under load.

It'll work... for about 10 minutes. now if it's just stainless steel tubing, you might see if you have a really talented welder buddy and let him have a look at it... nate  Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel >> My EGR pipe is rusted and has a hole in it.

I beleive he is talking about the air inject piping. common to have them rust out when the check valve goes bad.

It cracked right at the nut that secures it to the exhaust pipe. It was a small hole so I patched it with high-temp muffler cement. Problem solved. No need to spend a lot of money on a 12 year old truck with 170k miles on it. |
