Ford 460 egr
Well last night was taking a back road and got the truck slightly stuck. Finally got it out by mashing it 
. Got turned around had a little mud fun. And mashed again halfway through my spin truck died. Got out lift the lever on the radiator cap to release pressure and cool off. Always starts easier. Waited few minutes started right up. Any ideas?

Sorry Nate, but I got completely lost 1/2 way through your post.
What part of the title has anything to do with the lever on the radiator cap?
Can you interpret your post and clarify in complete sentences why you are asking about the EGR?
Not trying to be rude, but I couldn't even understand the paragraph and it's relation to your post.

Yea sorry. Got my 88 Ford 250 stuck at the bottom of a hill mashed the Gas all the way back up the hill and into a field doing about half a doughnut. Then it just died all the sudden. It was warm because smoke from coolant was happening so I released the pressure to cool off faster thinking it would help. Let. It set not even long enough to cool off tried starting and fired right up. It figured due to it just dieing all the sudden. Making a popping on deceleration. And a check engine light that comes on when it wants. It could be egr

The Check Engine Light is trying to tell you something...quit guessing...check for codes.
Warm up the truck then do this: http://web.archive.org/web/201104301...tion.com/?p=13
Or purchase a Code reader such as the Equys/Innova 3145.
Run the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) tests and stored (Continuous Memory CM) code display. List the codes by number and when they were displayed. Stating you received "No Codes" means you did not run the tests correctly. At the very least you should receive Code 11 "System Pass" if there are no issues found.

I don't think it's head gasket yet cause it hasnt blown coolant all over. And temp gauge stayed alright but we all know how they work.

Releasing the pressure in the radiator will only cause the coolant to boil. It will not allow the engine to cool down faster.

You will find that out more than likely when you get the scanner if you do not unhook the battery before you look at the codes.
Those scanners cost a lot more than a code reader. The Code reader such as the Equus/Innova 3145 that ral2005 suggested above for only about $30.00 would have worked just fine.
