    Hey guys,

    I'm new here and read quite a bit about the known gen 3 issues and am sort of spooked about the EGR stuff. I recently bought a 2010 with 160k and want to service the EGR/IM as soon as possible.

    Can anyone point me to either a shop in Denver, or a mechanic, or even a forum member that would be up to doing the EGR service? I actually bought a new EGR cooler so it would be a straight swap without waiting/cleaning it.

    I am aware of Mile Hybrid & Boulder Hybrids.

    Thanks a lot for any and all pointers!

    Cheers

    Since you are aware of @3prongpaul ’s shop, have you interacted with him to see if he’s up for doing the maintenance:whistle:?

    I’d start there and see where it takes you;).

    Any shop could really do the job as it’s on the ICE side of the Hybrid equation :).

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    Yep, spoke to him, we'll see! In the mean time, if anyone knows of other capable people/shops in the area, please let me know :)
