Not sure what you need. Can't recommend any testing without knowing what has been removed. Anyway ....... Sounds like you are definitely going to replace or delete the EGR cooler. If so, rebuild or change out the oil cooler while you are in there.

BTW - most of the time we would like to know:
Year of truck
Any codes
Any mods (other than the stack)
Maintenance history (recent repairs or major work)
Preventative maintenance history (oil and fuel - filters, fluid change interval and type).
