I'm waiting for my '08 to be delivered in the next few weeks. I did talk to a couple of mechanics and a Ford service manager. They said the '08 (at least in California) definately has an EGR. It also has 2 EGR coolants.
I'm not sure exactly what the coolants or coolers are though?

I don't think the gassers need an EGR cooler.

i wouldnt be too concerned about an egr on a gasser...they run pretty clean now and they have a lot of experience with them (probably almost twenty years)...diesel egrs on the other hand with cats, aftertreatment, etc, suck

I know this doesnt apply to the 08's but on my 02 that I ordered and bought new came from the factory with NO EGR.There is no fitting on the drivers exhaust manifold for the fitting for the pipe.My old 99 with the v-10 had an EGR valve.

Thanks for the updates. I reckon the truck is going to have EGR and I'm cool with it to an extent. However, if I was given a choice I would pick a non EGR engine over one with EGR. I guess it's the diesel EGR mentality in me talking. I went out of my way to get an early 2004 Dodge Cummins because there was talk of adding EGR for all 04's built after 1/1/04. It never happened but there was some serious panic for awhile among the diesel guys.
