Hi all,
I bent the flange of my XLT 4.0 OHV's EGR tube (going from the EGR valve to the intake manifold) trying to get that damn EGR valve nut loose. (Still can't get it loose!) Then while straightening the flange I popped the tack welds holding the press-in nuts on the back of the flange. I got it all back together but I couldn't tighten the bolt on one side of the EGR because the nut just spins. Since I don't have a MIG welder to reweld the nut, and I didn't get the flange all that straight, I'm going to have to get another tube. I know I can get one from a yard, but I honestly don't want to screw around with this EGR system any more than I have to, as it's evil. So I'm willing to buy one if I can get one (even from a dealer). Anybody have the part #? (Or have one they want to sell me?)
