well b4 i went to work today i was looking under the hood of my explorer and saw some carbon build up on my egr tube. i brush it away and tug at the bellowed steel tube to find a H shaped crack in the metal tubing. all this time i thought my pass side header was cracked but it may just be this crack in the egr tube. called ford and was quoted 62, walked in wearing my work uniform and paid 52, not too bad. replacement does not have the bellows, just a straight tube which is nice. soaked the nuts down with pb blaster b4 i hitched a ride to work, came home and soaked them again. any tricks with replacing the egr tube? im soaking as much as i can, i really dont want to crack the fitting on the header when i try to turn that nut off. just seems funny that crack has been there this whole time and i never once threw a CEL for it. oh well. wish me luck, and advice is appreciated.
