EGR valve

Re: EGR valve

The Ram 1500 do not have one. As Tripwire said. this is what you have on that vehicle.
PCV, EVAP, TWC, (41) (5) WUOC, FR, SPK, (62) HO2S, CEC, MIL, (32) EVAP-LDP, EVAP-LDPF, EVAP-PRRV, (32) EVAP-PSOL, EVAP-VC, SPK-CC
 
Re: EGR valve

In most engines the need for EGR's has been superseded by variable cam timing and above all 4 way catalytic converters. Most times now they are there just to improve highway gas mileage.

I don't think the 2000 model rams came with a Hemi, I had a 2002 V8 without one that I traded for my 2008 V8 that did have one. Traded that for a 2011 that doesn't have a Hemi but has a 6.7L.

I can't remember when they came out, I don't work on a lot of Dodge's our fleet is primarily Fords.

How's the quest for good mileage going with that 6.7?

Um, you mind explaining this "4 way catalytic converter" as it would relate to a spark-ignition engine?

Well its been sitting in the yard for almost 5 months now with maybe a tank of fuel run through it. My wife used it for her day to day a couple of days while her charger was in the shop which yielded 8mpg... but she only drove to work, school, her dads, home which are all less than a mile from each other.

Pretty sure gonna go ahead and delete the truck

I can only assume he is talking about the new 4 way cat that is basically a 3 way cat with particulate reduction. Otherwise we would be talking a three way cat for CO, HC, and NOx. The EGR reduces the NOx but it has a side effect of reducing running displacement by adding inert gas to "take up space" in the combustion chamber and not adding to or subtracting from combustion but rather taking up space and allowing a proper air fuel ratio but in smaller proportion in a larger chamber.

That's right typo hit the 4 instead of the 3.The fuel mileage is increased by volumetric factors as you say but also decreases the pumping loss to increase the cruise efficiency.And by keeping combustion temps so low in that range the timing with EGR activated can be increased.

Typo should have been 3.My typing skills are bad,sorry

Not really surprised about the mileage you're getting. Sadly the best way to get good reliability out of them seems to be deleting the EGR and regeneration setup and re-flash the ECM. The bad thing about all that is the newer Dodges come with the long warranty and that is all voided when those modifications are done.
 
Re: EGR valve

Try the PCV. My old '91 Dodge has one, and that screwed up the mpg when it started going out. As others have said. I don't think the 2000 Dodge 1500s have EGR.

No problem. I've heard of 4-way cats for diesel engines, but not for gas motors.
