    The EGR chamber on My ED coated with just dust soot, the Plenum and Diffuser are the filthy parts. You can remove thermo coupler and clean the ERG before the Plenum cleaning.. Just remove the thermo coupler and spray the Foam cleaner ,it cleans it right up and spits junk into the plenum.

    Yes, but My guess 98% goes to the DPF ,Its already in the Intake, You could remove the Plenum an manually clean it, But that won't clean the Intake surfaces or valves areas. I do mine at 12-15K , it cleans up nice, I suppose 25K Miles would be OK.

    Boostn I wanted this market to take Off...and I hope it still does. FCA was out the gate 3+ years that's Decades in the Car world, they could have grabbed the market equal to the Dodge Mini Van in the 80s.

    Its a plus on the New but do you really know what you have without OAs? I would suggest Samples at 4-8K on the fist 30K miles and then go to 10-12k miles sampling....On the downside another 3.0 pukes itself. By FCA records back in 2016 Several months of 225+ 3.0 replacement demand, With no...
