It's pretty simple really, the mechanics don't see it as a problem cause they're told it's normal from the OEMs,, I mean really why would the guy teaching you how to fix there product tell ya the bad things about it

Can you re use the gasket from the intake manifold to the head? Or replace it every time you take off for cleaning? Also what is the torque when putting back on?

Torque is 45 ft. Lbs.

Thanks

Hot water and dawn soap seems to be the cheapest way I've found to clean them. Works well if you brush it a little bit or use a soft attachment on a drill. I touch them up after I'm done with some intake/carb cleaner. Any one else have other ideas or tricks?....I don't mean to hijack this thread but it seems applicable.

After egr tune up do you need to do forced regen?

It is not a bad idea, to ensure the DPF is clean and to ensure it can regen properly.

Ok thanks rawze!! Looking forward to take apart intake off 502,000 mile motor that I'm pretty sure has never been cleaned out of the soot build up. I'm sure it's gonna look pretty!!

UPDATE:
Well, sort of an update, lol. I haven't had a chance to really see how well the tuneup is affecting my mpg due to a bad IMAP sensor and I'm having to run a little harder since I'm behind on this load, but now that it's running well again, it's definitely not as weak pulling hills like it was, and it sounds way better than before as well. I did change out my Aftertreatment injector when I did the tune up.

Looks like the injector tip is actually clogged in the open positon? It was covered with soot all the way flush with the insulator.
IMPORTANT:
If you decide to replace your injector... be sure that you get the correct one. The first one I had, the length of wire for the connector was way too short, so I had to bring my old one in and show them. Mine has about 12" of wire for the connector. Either snap a pic of it, or, if your calling in, ask them how long the connector is so that way you don't have to make two trips.
