Before replacing, test it!

See "Related Questions" below for a question that discusses testing the EGR valve.

As to how difficult the job is will depend on which engine you have. There's a whole lot more room to work with the 3.0 "Vulcan" as compared to the 3.0 Duratec.

Basically an EGR has a vacuum hose or 2, maybe a sensor wire connector, 2 mounting bolts and a metal pipe connecting into the bottom. Not bad if you have some room for wrenches.

By the way, I have uselessly replaced 2 EGR valves based solely on having my codes read by a no-nothing clerk at a major auto parts chain store.

That was before I discovered the power of knowledge & information through Wiki Answers and the internet.

My lesson learned: Research & information gather before reaching for the 15mm socket
