Well my RCLB has had the SES light on for the EGR for over a year now so i took it to the dealer i used to work at to get it replaced before the engine warranty was up. They had the truck for a few days and replaced the EGR valve, i paid my $100 and was out the door. The service writer was also my old service advisor when i worked there so i gave her a good tip. Before i get home the light is back on, i cleared the code and it came right back. I called her up and told her what happened and i took it back today. She has the little fella who i do not know who did the work look at it. Now this fella is not smart enough to watch me as i go talk to some of my former co-workers and keep an eye on my truck. He opens the door, plugs in the tech-2, checks it out the screen for a minute and walks away with the scanner to another fella's bay and helps him for over 1/2 an hour work on another car.:WTF: My truck sits there for almost 45 minutes and then he jumps in and pulls the truck out and around the building.:???:I walk out front and see my truck in the customer lane and wait for the service writer. She then tells me that the tech cleaned the EGR, cleared the code and if the light returns then i will have to replace the PCM. :rof: I just chuckled and told her i would be calling her back. Sure enough the light came back on about 10 minutes later. I am calling her back tomorrow to see if they are going to warranty the PCM.
It is obvious to me this guy is shotgunning a PCM at the truck as he never even opened the hood, went on-line for TSB's or called technical assistance to verify it is the PCM. When i go back i am going to confront this guy in the employee break room in front of my former co-workers just to see how he performed such a diagnosis.
Any of you ever heard of replacing an PCM for a repeating EGR code?
