Egr tube hitting firewall?
I think I found the problem with my exhaust, when I had him put the headers on he had to replace the EGR tube and adapter. Crawling around under the truck today I noticed that the EGR tube is basically resting against the firewall...Guess that would make my gas pedal vibrate and the floor boards. Any idea how to adjust this?

And the year, model, cab, trim, engine, wheelbase, _x4 drive, etc. of your F-150 is ????? http://www.gdmjoe.com/dunno.gif HINT/TIP: Put your vehicle information in your sig' -OR- provide it in your posting(s). *Telepathic or Carnac we're not. |
My apologies, I have a 2001 f150 crew cab xlt 4x4 with the 5.4l engine and 139" wheelbase. I will edit my signature and put it in there. I talked to the guy who did it and he said the hole in the header does sit farther back then the stock manifold. Here is a pic.

If you can't move the pipe, dent the firewall right behind it to create a gap.

That is the plan, I am going to try to use a pry bar to push the firewall in to create enough gap. If that does not work then I will have to remove the EGR tube and try going at it with a ball peen hammer.

Long pry bar but use it as a chisel, bfh and smack the hell out of it. I wouldn't pry against the pipe, you might crack it.
. |
Right, that's what I'm trying to avoid but being that it's only a month old I might be alright

Just for an update I managed to fit a small pry bar between the tube and the firewall. I gently pried the two apart putting pressure on the fire wall until I could fit a goo 1/4" or more between the two. Managed bending the firewall enough to solve the problem.
