Where is the EGR valve located on a Dodge Ram 1500?
The EGR valve in the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 is in the engine compartment on the left rear point of the intake manifold/cylinder head. It is bolted in place and connects to the exhaust manifold with a metal hose. This valve mixes fresh air received from the intake manifold with exhaust gas to reduce emissions.
How do you clean the EGR valve on a Dodge Ram 1500?
Spray the EGR cleaner into the unit, holding the can about six inches away while spraying. Make sure you get the spray inside the valve (where the piston is) by spraying through the breath holes in the brass “flying saucer” top. This will loosen the carbon deposits inside and free up the plunger.
Locate the EGR valve in the engine bay. The year and make of the Dodge vehicle determine where the valve is located. This is on the front of the engine block, next to the timing belt in model-year 2005 and newer trucks. In older vehicles you will typically find the valve behind the engine, near the firewall.
