There are special adapters made up to assist with cleaning the EGR cooler on the truck. Is this an EPA 10 engine or EPA13? EPA 10 is a low mount cooler below the turbo and I would highly suggest taking this in for cleaning as it would take way longer to pull it off for thorough cleaning than to flush it on the truck. Flushing attempts made on the truck without the adapters would not be worthwhile IMO. If EPA13 is a high mount on top and can be easily removed for thorough cleaning. Check with your local dealer to buy the recommended cleaning solution over the parts counter. It is water based but very caustic soap solution. Wear gloves and eye protection. Flush thoroughly with the solution and follow up with clean water and air dry. I suppose you might try a high concentration of Simple green or the like for an alternative.
HTHRolling18, burnsey and Misterpreston Thank this. -
Are the adapters available from the Peterbilt dealer or through a specialty tool supplier?
