Well, upon insepecting some of the parts to put back on, I came across a crack in the EGR tube. I don't think it can be repaired, since the location it is in gets smashed by the holddown. See pic here, it is blurry, but you can see through the crack and get a good idea where it is.

BAAAAAHHHAAAAWWWWWAAAAAAA

That'* the funniest post of the day I bet!

Ps. GMPD for a new one.

Can it be fixed;

yup....LMAO!!!!!!!!

what Bill said

Sorry..I'm laughing so hard..I've lost "focus"..

Seriously..I'm gonna fall outta my chair....I'm cryin.......

hmmm.... Why?

I looked on GMPD... no luck.

Ever see My Cousin Vinny?

Can you honestly tell me ... you see a crack in this fuzziness?

All I see is a Barney purple flag..and some reflection on the camera of flowers.

Fake Canadian was going to order one..I think he'* got the number

Pete!!!!! got a number?

Go to the dealer. That'll be hard to get the number for on GMPD. It comes with the bracket that bolts to the end of the cylinder head. The tube cannot be purchased seperately.

Make sure you get a new EGR gasket while you're there.

That crack is allowing unmetered air into the system that the MAF sensor can't read. It'* the worst vacuum leak potential you can imagine. It is running you lean. Stay off of WOT for awhile until you get it fixed.

you may want to try your local GM dealer or try to find used,,,shes shot man

**edit**...will beat me to it

Nahh, I pointed it at the flowers so you could see through the crack. The flag and flowers are my grandmas. She lives with us.

Ouch... maybe that'* why the tube is so clean on the inside.
