Quick question for the EcoDiesel guys out there? 2020 Ram 1500 Limited with the EcoDiesel. I have 33,500 miles and am getting my 30k service done. I got a call from the dealership saying that they recommend an EGR Clean Out (cleans the intake, EGR cooler, diesel particulate filter and then does a regeneration). It seems like this is kinda early to have to do this, also it costs $910.

Am I right in thinking that it's pretty early for this type of service?
 
Ridiculous to spend that kind of money. It not hard to clean the tube, just time consuming. I cleaned mine twice when I had my 2015 eco diesel. Traded it @30,000 miles for my 2019 DT 5.7


or just do a YouTube search,
 
IDK but the dealership does or says things like this simply to make money and more than likely haven't even looked at any of those components
 
I had Ecodiesel Jeep and had over 60K miles on it. No dealer every said anything about cleaning EGR. I did ended up getting it replaced under recall though, but that was around 47K miles. I would not let them touch it and mess with it so they can make some money.
