In a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, you'll find the EGR valve located in the engine compartment towards the left rear of the intake manifold/cylinder head. It's securely fastened and linked to the exhaust manifold by a metal hose. This valve combines fresh air from the intake manifold with exhaust gas to lower emissions. A common sign of a faulty EGR valve is increased fuel usage. You may also notice the check engine light coming on as a warning. Other indicators of a problematic valve include rough idling, stalling, fuel odors, knocking noises, failed smog tests, and loud detonations. On average, replacing this valve in the 2003 Ram 1500 costs between $200 and $270, with labor expenses making up $40 to $60 of the total bill.
