and if you ever run into a time when you know and oil pressure sensor fails but you have oil pressure or a water temp/level sensor fails and you have water and are cool but the system is only letting the truck idle you can on some trucks unplug the speedo sensor in atleast a manual truck and it wont shutdown when moving.

Thank you for the info. And yes I agree, I would only want to unplug the egr as an emergency response, not as a way to travel. Currently the only show code is for the egr temp sensor simply because i unplugged it to see it the truck would indeed run with it unplugged, it will. I plugged it back up but the code hasn’t cleared out yet. The code from the original problem did clear out. Not to say it wouldn’t return but it’s not there currently.

I will most likely see if I can get it to Lubbock. Another helpful soul from rawze’s site has offered to get it on diagnostics if I can get it to him. And no, I have zero interest in letting this issue fester, it will be addressed immediately. I will try and keep my rpm’s down as much as possible tomorrow and with God’s help and blessing I will get to Lubbock.

Thanks again.
