EGR location 2006 Ford E350 V10 6.8l

.

I hate to bother you guys again, but I've looked and looked and cannot find the
EGR valve on my 2006 6.8l V10 E350 in order to replace it .... I googled everything
(and I'm a good googler) and can find pics of the prior model (1999, 2001) but nothing
that I can find looks like my engine ... and I cannot see any tube coming from the
exhaust manifold on either side ... here is a pic of the older model:




according to three different parts websites, the EGR valve for my 2006 is this one,
which looks the same as the one in the older model pic above, but I cannot find anything
on the engine that looks like this (I have a new one in my hand)




any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  • Wasn't there a point where the EGR was stopped being used on the V10? I too would check ignition coils. From what I understand the ECM is not fast to report misfire codes, but somehow Ford with their reader can get misfire info.
  • Could be lots of things causing that symptom. There are many issues much more likely to cause this vs a bad EGR valve. A bad coil is the most probable. But make sure all scheduled maintenance is up to speed before chasing parts.

    Check your hoses, I had a cracked hose on my last V10

    CA/50-state V10s have EGR. Mine does.
  • I think it's on the drivers side, but I think you are in right area, the missing bolt suggests someone has already been in the area "doing things"
    People do "delete" the EGR
