My EGR pipe is rusted and has a hole in it. I can hear the engine exhaust when the engine is under load.
The dealer quoted me $1,600 to replace it. I'm not kidding. He said he's worried that the bolts are rusted and may break off when trying to remove the nuts.
Thanks!!!

best way to find out is to pop the hood and look at it.
It'll work... for about 10 minutes.
now if it's just stainless steel tubing, you might see if you have a really talented welder buddy and let him have a look at it...

Same thing happened to me when I had to replace my EGR valve. It cracked right at the nut that secures it to the exhaust pipe. It was a small hole so I patched it with high-temp muffler cement. Problem solved. No need to spend a lot of money on a 12 year old truck with 170k miles on it.

If it is before the check valve you need to replace the pipe if its after the valve, the valve is bad and needs to be replaced. there should be no ex after the check valve. KB
Can you please clarify? Where is the check valve located?
he said EGR not AIR

If we are still talking about that 87 then there is no egr "pipe". It is all internal. I beleive he is talking about the air inject piping. common to have them rust out when the check valve goes bad. KB
