I've had the Check Engine Light come on several times of late and my mechanic says it's the EGR valve that's gone bad. I have a 2004 Monaco with an ISB 300 Cummins power plant. I'm told that the EGR valve cost $1,000.00, a drop in the bucket for some but a wallet squeezer for many of us, me included.
I also realize I can install an EGR Delete Kit for considerably less but I seem to remember reading they were illegal for U.S. vehicles except off-road types.
My question to anyone out there is.... do you know of a place where EGR valves can be purchased for under the $1K mark and are the Delete Kits illegal or can I install one without fear of Uncle Sam or one of his cousins, i.e. a state that has emission checks if you live there jumping on my back,
I live in Virginia.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Larry
