SO lets start off with some important basic info- 1997 5.7 4x4 ECSB, owner brought it to my work to "junk" it, with 157,*** miles on it. I paid him 100 bucks and took home my birthday present! (Yes, he came in on my birthday last year to get rid of it)
Anyways, truck runs and drives fantastic even tho it basically just sat in a yard for over a decade.
Now I am getting the P1406 EGR code turning my CEL on. My plan is to remove and clean it and see if that fixes it, at the same time replacing the gasket or gaskets for it, and checking any lines running to it for breaks or mouse chews.
My 2 questions are simple, Am I ok to use carb cleaner or brake cleaner to clean it? and as far as gaskets I see ones with a screen and ones without- Should I go one way or the other?
