first off cleaning the egr is for the most part a waste of time, and is a very temporary fix, sounds to me like its possible its stuck open, did you pull it back out and look at it

That plunger should shut back tight. No Daylight between valve seat and body

It looked like it is closed and fits tight.
one O ring is kind of rough. More than likely from when I took it out.
How tight do they need to fit?

What color smoke? White or black?

[6.0 paul]

White to blue. Not white like water & not a true blue like oil.
sort of a combo.

I know when my EGR was acting up it was black smoke. When the EGR cooler went it was whitish/blue smoke. I would be leaning toward EGR cooler. I'm sure someone like SCUFFY828 would have more knowledge about it than me. He helped me out a lot on a 4.2l v-6 problem a while back.

My only thing is I have been keeping an eye on my water tank and it has not moved it is in the same place. On the lower side but still in the tank. 1 up line from the min mark.
