Got the dash pot in today. Seeing this one, the old one was definitely crapped out. BUT, I put it on, took the truck for a short test drive; no real difference. I adjusted the trans mod out half a turn, see how that does tomorrow morning.

Truck ran like complete crap this morning. Adjusted the screw back in a turn before I left school and it ran MUCH better. Im thinking another quarter turn or so shoud do it. Thanks for the help guys.

Hmm, somehow never saw this post.

As much as I hate to dig up this thread, I'm gonna. I've been running the truck without the EGR hooked up and it's doing ok, crappy gas mileage aside. I cut up the old exhaust an rearranged everything a few weeks ago. Still stumbles with the EGR hooked up. Even pulled the muffler off and it still acted up, so I know it's not excessive backpressure. I've tried timing at 6*, 12*, and everything in between with no real difference.

I made a video the other day of the truck with and without the valve hooked up. I'd love to finally get this problem solved.
