If you said not another EGR your right! I have never bragged about this (I know if I did I would jinx my self) but I have 20,530mi since I bought it Labor Day weekend and this is the first thing to go wrong with the diesel.

Has anyone else’s factory EGR lasted this long?

Dollars to donuts both of you rarely short trip your Jeep? Give us some insight into your driving and maintenance habits when you get a chance.

Im on my second replaced EGR valve its still sitting at the dealer, seems this EGR install is kicking techs butt, i was at the dealer yesterday 6 hours until the service mgr gave me a rental, last time it took 3 hours, the dealerand jeeps answer to this defect is buy an extended warranty.

I put 90 miles on per day to/from work.

Maintenence:
Oil changed at dealer every 5K

I do not drive the easiest, but I am not practicing for Indy either.

I probably just jinxed myself and will somthing is going to blow up this weekend at Carrieville

My factory unit is at 28000. I hope it dies, maybe they'll come up with a miracle cure and I can get the new model.

I bought my Liberty in April 2005 & I've gone through 4 of those things. Current mileage is 24,200. The factory EGR valve went out last June. Replacement #1. That one lasted til December, then it goes out. Replacement #2 lasted only 2 days. Replacement #3 lasted from January til mid May. Now it's going bad. I'm keeping a record of the codes I get with my scan tool, mostly P0401 (EGR flow insufficient), but I also get P0299, which means the turbo is underboosting. Nobody can figure out why these EGR valves are going out. I hope to get things resolved soon. I don't want to go back for any more EGR valve problems. It wouldn't be so bad if the EGR valves weren't on the "Restricted Parts List".

For me mostly long hauls. This is not my daily driver but when I do take it to work we are talking 65mi round trip. I do tow a 4,200lb camper with it to the lake over the mountains of Western Maryland. But not many short trips to the store or anything like that.

Maintenance: I have changed the oil every 6k miles used Moble 0W-40. No Provent or any engine mods like that.

The only other problem I have had (not counting damage 4 wheeling :roll:

). Were bad hubs from the factory.
