It's not quite that simple, but that's what an EGR bypass kit does. There are also kits available that delete the EGR system entirely.
If you have an EGR cooler problem you most likely have a bad oil cooler, and that will have to be replaced as well.
I think you should check for trouble codes that may be stored and monitor the coolant/oil temperatures under driving conditions to determine exactly what the problem is. If you don't have a way of doing that, a competent tech is well worth the money IMO.

They're not all created equal, that's for sure....it'll need to be OBD2/CAN2 capable.
I know this one will do pretty much anything you'll ever need, including live data capture.

No doubt you could get your truck diagnosed by a competent tech for a lot less money, but you'd have this for next time if needed.

Mine is doing the same thing and getting worse. I'm will accelerate to about 10 mph at 22oo rpm and stay there. When I let of the tranny shift hard into second and then it accelerates and gets stuck again before slamming into third. But once I come to a stop or the truck warms up a little it runs normal. I can't figure this one out. This all started a couple of days ago.
