I wasn't able to do that but I did wait until it was warmed up to see if that valve was working. I had to rev the engine up to about 2k rpms before it started moving. If I start the engine cold could I possibly test that solenoid that way? Because if I'm understanding right it won't move when cold and at idle? I don't have any tools to test nor create vacuum at the moment.

Just went out and tested it and it doesn't move at idle or revved up when cold as it should. With this confirmed I would assume my EGR is working as it should and it's just the sensor thinking it's not? I will probably take it off and clean it when I get a chance but yesterday it appeared to be moving ok and didn't hang up on anything.

I don't know if I'd open the can of worms of removing the EGR valve itself. Those EGR tubes can be easily damaged.

Sorry about the wait but EGR tested good. I can't remember the exact reading but I believe it was in spec. For whatever reason truck has been better the last couple of weeks but still gets gutless every now and then.
On another note I just did some work to the coolant system and had a question about these fitting...
I thought these didn't come with the radiator but I found them buried deep in the box. I did manage to install cooling lines to radiator and they're not leaking but did I F up by not putting these on? It was a little tough to thread in but they did go in but I dont know how bad it is that I left these fittings off. I noticed the old radiator had them but couldn't get those to break off so I decided to take my chances threaded the lines straight up.
