Idling is the worst thing you can do to them. If you do idle bump it up.
Do you mean the 14L series 60?.Trucker61016 Thanks this. -
The rules allow me to say $2 if it’s pre 07 and that’s all I can say.

EGR pumps it’s own exhaust back into the cylinders. That means all the soot goes back in as well. This turns into a tar like substance and fouls everything up. Not a through explanation but you get the point.
