MuchRespect Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 My EGR valve is intact and seems to be opening / closing. Problem is the electrical EGR transducer (the black plastic disc that the lines run through) was melted from high engine heat before I bought the truck. One of the ports on the transducer that once connected a hose to the valve has been melted clean off. Before replacing the whole system, I want to replace the transducer. Problem is, as far as I can tell you have to buy an entire new EGR valve system just to get the transducer, about $115. Does anyone know where I could buy a new transducer solo without having to buy the EGR valve to go along with it? Figured I'd toss it out there before I head to the junkyard.

SVPete Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If you head to the junkyard, take a little time to separate the transducer to check the spring inside for the diaphragm. They will rust away to dust. Take care not to damage the diaphragm while your at it. Sine you will have it separated, clean the ports since they can get clogged.
