And it is back out again. Wondering if it is gunked up with CBU, seems like a lot of talk of CBU issues with these engines, and some pretty scary photos..

Good Point, will see if I can do that this weekend..

Also found an interesting method of 'disabling' EGR operation. Of course you still have to live with the check engine light, or have it coded out, but looks like posters are reporting better MPG and smoother running..
