I searched for 5142799AA on this forum and found about 4 mentions of it being replaced during an EGR failure event. That part number as far as I can tell is for the "EGR flow control valve." This part is also known as an anti shudder valve, anti run on valve, throttle body (to some dealers), and probably some other names as well. I've looked it up on two different online mopar parts sites. One called it an EGR valve, one called it an intake throttle! Did anybody have an EGR failure that didn't involve replacing this part? The 5142799AA is not really the EGR valve, it is related but it is a separate piece. Has anybody had to have the actual EGR replaced? Please let me know a part number if you have one. I'm trying to figure out how many of the "EGR valve" failures are actually the "EGR flow control valve." Any help would be appreciated.
Got the call from the dealership.
They are replacing both. I don't have part numbers yet - I will get them when I pick it up.
The EGR valve (which was the cause of the the P0401 code,) is addressed by a TSB so they replaced the EGR valve and did a software update. (Although I had also had the 18-009-06 TSB done previously - so I don't know which one supercedes which). They had the EGR valve in stock, and replaced it already this morning.
The lound buzzing noise was coming from - what they call the "throttle body", which I am guessing is the EGR Flow Control Valve mentioned above. They did not have this part, and it is being shipped in for replacement tomorrow.
