finally no more CEL

After a couple of days of pulling codes and trouble shooting I finally have the truck running with out a CEL popping up.

Put in an O2 sensor, ECT sensor, EGR Solenoind, EGR valve position sensor, Distributor cap, Rotor Button,plugs and wires.

Decided to go fill up the rear tank before gas starts creeping up again, no to check the fuel economy and see if the fixes made any difference in MPG

Way to go! It's a great sense of accomplishment. What was/were the code(s), or symptoms, that led you to replace all those components?

initially I was getting 172, 332, 334, 117, 327.

I started replaceing all of the vacuum lines na dchecking the Fuel Pressur Reg. No change.
Installed salvage yard EGR solenoind. No change
Installed salvage yard EGR position sensor and put original EGR solenoid back on. No change.
Reinstalled salvage yard yard EGR solenoid, corrected 332/334.327
Happend to get Autozone 25% off coupon in mail thursday, so I bought O2 sensor for $37, and figured for another $25 I will install new ECT sensor. Installed those and put on new cap, rotor, plugs and wires. cleared remaining codes.
the cap had oxidation on the terminals.

The next items to tend to are change the differential fluids and adding trans temo gage.

That was the previous owners solution, just pull the bulb out.
