EGR valves

I swear I am not making this up. I just put an engine in a truck, and also a new egr valve because the plastic around the connector was broken. I took the rig out on its first road test and it ran like crap. EGR was all over the place. Got it back and performed an EGR test. The new valve I just installed failed big time. I called hotline to see if there was something I was missing. They told me "it's a known problem, keep putting on valves until you get one that is good.". I am not making this up! I put on the second valve we had in stock, cleared the codes and kam and tried to perform VGT learn. It would not complete and egr was going between 0 and 25% at idle. I performed the EGR test again and I'll be damned if this one did not fail as well. I talked with our warranty administrator to see how to handle the paperwork on this and she told me that there are reports on their message board of guys putting on 20 valves before finding a good one. We ordered a new valve, and from what parts tells me they are big time back ordered. He said there are like 2000 orders outstanding. Have you guys run into this yet?

Yup, Just open a parts replacement R.O. for each new one. You might actually be able to make some money doing 20 of them in one day. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
