We don't have EGR (exhaust gas recirculate) on (at least the 1996) motors. Probably why you can't find it.
That is not to say we don't have pollution-control devices.
We do have an EVAP system (there is a canister located on the front, passnger side of the engine compartment that traps fuel tank vapors, which are later released into the intake manifold), and a PCV system. And, of course, the CAT.

Thanks i have come to the conclusion that there isn't one. Even though murray's has a part number for it haha.

Well my problem is my truck wont idle sometimes, it just dies unless i give it gas. And i was 100% sure it was the egr valve sticking. Now i don't know what it is. Any ideas?

Another user is having the same problem. This is can be caused by a faulty or dirty IAC (idle air control) motor. These are mounted on the back of the throttle body, are controlled by the PCM, and the function is pretty self-explanitory (the PCM tells it how much air to allow into the intake at 'idle', therefor setting idle speed)
