Maybe a dumb question but if my 2017 eco diesel is running really well should I clean the EGR tube? It’s got 80,000 mls and I’m the second owner. Than

Yes, if it's gunked up it's not helping things, that's for sure!

So what if some pieces fall into the intake when I remove it? Should I try to clean the inside where to tube connects?
 
The tube is just part of the system, the inside of the intake manifold is where most of the gunk will form, I also have a 2017, and never plan or cleaning it,

Take a look at my post from where I cleaned my MAP and Tube. The amount of gunk in the intake will be terrible. I think anything that would fall off would just stick to all the gunk in the intake.
 
Tube does have a somewhat small opening that will start to get covered over with gunk, potentially impeding air flow. I do believe thats worth clearing up. Just want to be careful pulling it out, not to knock crusty's into the intake. Also worth cleaning the MAP sensor while your at it. Mine was completely gunked up at 68,000 miles. Truck seems to be running slightly better with it cleaned.
