| The egr valve gets full of carbon and, about every 1000 miles, cause the truck to quit and the brakes to stop operating, putting our safety at risk. i bought the truck used from my father-in-law and he did not encounter this problem. i have taken the truck to the same mechanic that he did and he has cleaned out the carbon twice now. but i took it to the original dealer and they found the same problem and said they have found that around the high 90,000 and 100,000 mileage mark, this egr valve is a problem in this truck engine. it continues to be a more frequent problem, especially obvious on longer trips. the truck simply quits when you decelerate to come to a stop and the brakes give out. you have to constantly restart the engine or try coasting into the stop, put the truck in neutral and keep the engine reving, so it hopefully won't stop. *ak | |||
