Replace EGR actuator DD13 DD15 engine
In this video I'll be replacing an EGR actuator on a DD13 DD15 engine
Disclaimer: This video is for informational purposes only. Attempting repairs on a Diesel engine, especially those involving the emissions system, can be complex and dangerous. Consult a qualified mechanic if you are unsure about any part of this process.
Tools You'll Need:
Socket Wrench Set (Metric)
Wrenches
Pliers
Coolant Drain Pan (Optional)
Rags
New EGR Actuator (Double-check compatibility with your specific DD13 engine model)
Steps:
Safety First! Park your truck on level ground, engage the parking brake, and chock the wheels.
Locate the EGR Actuator: The EGR actuator is typically mounted on the intake side of the engine. Consult your DD13 service manual for the exact location.
Disconnect Battery (Optional): For some models, you may want to disconnect the battery as a safety precaution.
Drain Coolant (Optional): Depending on the location of the EGR actuator on your engine, you may need to drain some coolant to gain access.
Disconnect Electrical Connector: Locate the electrical connector for the EGR actuator and carefully unplug it.
Disconnect Vacuum Lines: There may be one or more vacuum lines connected to the EGR actuator. Use pliers to pinch the clamps and disconnect the lines.
Remove Mounting Bolts: Use the appropriate sockets or wrenches to remove the bolts holding the EGR actuator in place.
Remove EGR Actuator: Carefully remove the old EGR actuator, being mindful of any remaining coolant or debris.
Install New EGR Actuator: Position the new EGR actuator on the mounting bracket and secure it with the bolts you previously removed. Tighten the bolts to the recommended torque specifications (refer to your service manual). 1 1. Reconnect Vacuum Lines: Reattach the vacuum lines to the EGR actuator and secure them with the clamps.
Reconnect Electrical Connector: Plug the electrical connector back into the EGR actuator.
Refill Coolant (if drained): If you drained any coolant, refill the radiator and overflow tank following the proper procedures in your service manual.
Reconnect Battery (if disconnected): Reconnect the battery cables if you disconnected them earlier.
Calibration Note: Some DD13 engines may require calibration of the EGR actuator after replacement using diagnostic software. Consult your service manual or a qualified mechanic to determine if this is necessary for your specific engine.

    You’re absolutely correct. This situation with the Francis Scott Key Bridge is a broken “key” in many ways. It is a major step towards an economic civil war between North and South, as Maryland is a border state along the Mason-Dixon Line. One example - Question: What state capital is affected by Port of Baltimore closure? Answer: Harrisburg, PA. Pennsylvania is the “Key”stone State.

  • @JoshSmith-wo7zw

    Their gonna be forced to go the long way around the beltway. So instead of it taking 15 to 20 minutes going over the bridge its gonna be more like an hour and a half 2 hours. Traffic is gonna get alot worse.

    • @boondoggle4820
      @boondoggle4820 3 місяці тому

      I was thinking about that too. What was a 15 minute drive could easily turn into hours if they have to drive the entire loop of the beltway especially during rush hour. I live in Baltimore County and when I went to the grocery store today, you could see that they were out of a lot of items in a way that I've never seen before.

    In the UK ,the Farmers would put a second fuel tank in the Land Rover. The tank that the police would find would have normal Diesel in, but the other tank will have Agricultural (Red) diesel. The Customs and Excise, or ,police will check the fuel tank, and also inside of the engine, to make sure that you are using the correct diesel.

  • @alpurl
    @alpurl 4 місяці тому

    Yeah, dyed fuel is intended for off-road use only. In 2007, there was a distinction between low sulfur diesel fuel with sulfur content lower than 200 ppm and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 15 ppm. In 2007, all new highway engines were required by the epa to use ultra low sulfur diesel. I believe at this point, all diesel is of the ultra low sulfur variety and other additives have been found to add to the fuel to compensate for the lack of sulfur content in older engines that might need it. Non highway fuels do not have the highway fuel taxes included in the price, hence the lower fuel cost. Because of this, dye is added to the fuel. Yes, at tgis piint in time, the fuel dye, fuel inspection, and fines are all about tax revenue. Nothing else. Born free, taxed to f*cking death. The IRS is a state sponsored domestic terror organization.

      In UK this is common practice to be checked, Due to the fact that red diesel(gas oil) is none tax able. Used for construction/farming/industrial machinery. Fridges trailers engines use red.
