Doesn't have a EGR valve ! Has Camshaft Actuator System .
Camshaft Actuator System Description
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator system is used for a variety of engine performance enhancements. These enhancements include lower emission output through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) control, a wider engine torque range, improved gas mileage, and improved engine idle stability. The CMP actuator system accomplishes this by controlling the amount of intake and exhaust valve overlap. For the 6.0 liter (LY6, L76) and the 6.2 liter (L92) engine, the Park position for the CMP actuator and camshaft is 8.5 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) or 17 crankshaft degrees BTDC. The engine control module (ECM) can only command the CMP actuator to retard the valve timing from the Park position or advance the valve timing back to the Park position. The total range of valve timing authority is 31 degrees camshaft rotation, or 62 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The control range is from the Park position of 8.5 degrees camshaft or 17 degrees crankshaft BTDC, to 22.5 degrees camshaft or 45 degrees crankshaft after top dead center (ATDC).

Hi there:

The electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly is attached to the rear of the left cylinder head. An exhaust gas routing tube connects the EGR valve to the intake manifold.
1. Use a diagnostic scan tool to record any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). 2. Remove the throttle body resonator. 3. Perform the fuel system pressure release procedure (Refer to 14 - Fuel System/Fuel Delivery - Standard Procedure) 4. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.


5. Disconnect the power brake booster vacuum hose (1) and the vapor canister purge hose (2) at the intake manifold.


6. Disconnect the EGR valve solenoid electrical connector (1).


7. Remove the EGR valve assembly retaining bolts (1). 8. Remove the EGR valve and the EGR routing tube from the engine as an assembly. 9. Remove and discard the metal gasket located between the cylinder head and the EGR valve assembly.


10. Remove the EGR valve routing tube retaining bolts (1) at the EGR valve assembly 11. Remove the EGR valve routing tube and discard the gasket.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is designed to:

• reintroduce exhaust gas into the combustion cycle.
• lower combustion temperatures.
• reduce the formation of oxides or nitrogen (NOX).

The amount of exhaust gas reintroduced and the timing of the cycle varies by calibration. Timing and volume are controlled by the following:

• engine rpm
• engine vacuum
• exhaust system back pressure
• engine coolant temperature
• air charge temperature
• throttle position

The EGR valve (EGR valve) (9D475) is vacuum-actuated. The vacuum hose routing diagram is shown on the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decal. The EGR system is a differential pressure feedback EGR Sensor system. Differential pressure feedback EGR Sensor is a subsonic closed loop EGR system. The differential pressure feedback EGR system:

• monitors EGR flow rate by the pressure drop across the metering orifice located in the EGR tube.
• uses a differential pressure feedback EGR sensor as the feedback device.
• uses the EGR valve only as a pressure regulator, rather than a flow metering device.
• controlled pressure is varied by the valve movement using vacuum output of the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid (9J459).
• allows for a more accurate assessment of EGR flow requirements.

Hope this helps

Fortunately the way they refine fuel these days and the way they engineer these cars and engines, the lowest grade is sufficient and will not cause any damage to the engine or void any warranties. So in short, 87 octane is just fine.

EGR VALVE IS #2.

Please wait for second post to answer your second question....comes with a few pictures.

yes the passages can be cleaned. They pass exhaust gas into the intake maniflod for reburning.

It could be the DPFE that controls the EGR too. Diff. Pressure Feedback EGR.

there is also a vacuum regulator valve and a solenoid too.

Please rate as fixya if this helps.

Found the info!!

This Dodge EGR valve is a certain kind of device that is mounted right on your intake manifold which controls the amount of exhaust gasses back into your engine.
On a 2005 Dakota with 4.7 liter engine (non-HO), the EGR valve is located near the intake manifold on the driver's side right up against the firewall. It's hard to spot as it sits lower than the intake manifold. To change it, remove the electrical connector. There's a red tab that needs to be pushed to one side and then you have to squeeze down on a tab to get it free. Using a 13 mm socket, remove the bolt that you can see. I had to use a 3 inch wobble extention and then a 8 inch extension with a deep well socket to reach it with my 3/8 inch ratchet. There's a second bolt that you can't see between the EGR valve and the firewall. With a little trial and error and a lot more luck, you can reach the hidden bolt with the 3 inch wobble extension and a 13 mm deep well socket. Attach the ratchet after the socket is on and remove. This one isn't easy and if there's any Dodge engineers reading this one, a couple of extra inches of clearance between the valve and the firewall wouldn't have killed you no matter what the cost accountants said. With both bolts removed, you should be able to pull out the metal pipe that connects the manifold to the EGR valve out of the manifold (Pull to the right) and then you can lift the valve out. For assembly, the metal pipe connecting the intake manifold the EGR valve has to be removed and reinstalled on the new valve. It's held on with 2 5/16th" bolts. You should put the rear bolt on tight, but leave the front bold loose for the reinstall as some adjustment is necessary to get it put back together and the rear is a pain to tighten when installed. Line up the bolts that attach the valve and get the rear 13 mm bolt (The one you couldn't see on disassembly) started. Do not start the other 13 mm bolt as you'll need to pivot the valve and pipe to the left in order to reinsert the pipe into the intake manifold. Once the pipe is in the intake manifold. Start the other 13 mm bolt and tighten both 13 mm bolts and then the 5/16" bolts holding the pipe onto the valve. Reinstall the electrical connection. Please don't forget to rate!!!!
