larryl Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 if it is an 09 you have a 3.5 engine........ jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Go with MOPAR parts. Also, make sure you tell them the correct engine so you get the correct part. The 3.6L did not exist in 2009. OhareFred and 2late4u 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rina5677 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 @ztahie did you get a new EGR? Any luck? I have the same code, cleaned mine as well and code came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztahie Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Yes. I had to replace the EGR valve. Issue resolved. 2late4u and Rina5677 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rina5677 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 @ztahie did you go with mopar or an aftermarket? I CAnt really afford a $300 mopar egr right now but there are many aftermarket brands for about half the price. Has anyone had luck with anything other than mopar? Maybe doorman or SMP?

Rina5677 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 @2late4u ah great idea. I wasn't sure if I could use a used one so glad to hear it's worth a shot. Right now it only acts up when the weather is colder but might as well do it and get rid of the code as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztahie Posted December 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) @Rina5677 - honestly, I didn't fix it yet... the code is still preset.... since I'm not felling any other issues, I'm not going to fix it (yet...)

Rina5677 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 @ztahie no judgment here lol.ours has been intermittent since last october, im in no rush either. Lately its not been setting the MIL and the hesitation/rough accelaration hasnt happened so maybe the cleaning i did finally took effect??

Rina5677 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 To wrap up my experience with this code - cleaning it did not help -replaced it with a SMP brand from rock auto (along with both gaskets) code gone, hesitation gone, mileage mildly improved. Very worth it. ($180 on rock auto). I would have tried a used one but couldn't find one at either of the local wreckers. I've driven it for 3000km since replacing it. Very glad I did. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
