Ricky, I appreciate the offer. My chassis and computer is 1994 (OBD-I). The engine is a 1999, as the 1994 motor was junk. I have the 1999 intake, as well as the 1994, which is the one with EGR. I didn't use the 1999 intake because it lacks one of the ports for the two temperature sensors needed by the 1994 engine.
Part of the issue with blocking off the EGR on the 5.9 engine is spark knock. The 5.2L didn't have this problem, so most of the 5.2s from that era didn't have EGR. Since the stock heads are weak and are notorious for cracking, I'm going to put the EGR stuff on and try to save the heads for a little while longer.
