Dorman 598-156 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Line

Dorman EGR Tube for Ford 2001-2003 Applications

Dorman 598-156 is a direct replacement exhaust gas recirculation tube for select Ford trucks and SUVs. It is built from stainless steel to help resist stress fractures, corrosion, and carbon buildup that can restrict EGR flow.

Compatible with 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2001-2003 Ford Ranger, this EGR line matches the original tube’s key features and connection layout for a factory-style repair.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for durability in high-heat exhaust routing
• Direct replacement for the original equipment EGR tube
• Threaded end 1 for OE-style connection
• 27.5-inch length and 0.625-inch outside diameter

• Package contents: EGR tube

Detailed Description

This Dorman EGR tube, part number 598-156, is engineered for Ford Explorer Sport, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Ford Ranger models from 2001 through 2003. It is intended to restore the exhaust gas recirculation path with a replacement tube that follows the original equipment design, helping maintain proper exhaust routing and emissions system function. The stainless steel build supports long-term service in a demanding underhood environment, where heat, soot, and corrosion can affect the original tube.

This part cross-references Ford OE number 1L5Z9E469AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or stress-fractured EGR tubing
• Corrosion at the exhaust gas recirculation line
• Carbon buildup that restricts EGR passage
• Leaks caused by a damaged threaded tube connection
• Emissions-related drivability issues tied to EGR flow problems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and EGR tube routing before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces and threaded connection points for damage or heavy carbon buildup, and clean them as needed so the replacement tube seats correctly. Because mounting hardware is not listed, confirm whether existing hardware can be reused or whether additional service parts are required for your repair.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this replacement EGR tube to match the original equipment style and connection features used on the factory part. Part number 598-156 is built as a direct-fit service component for the listed Ford applications.
