Looking for some advice here! I have a '93 D150 with the 5.2L Magnum. Currently having intake plenum gasket issues and was working towards swapping out the gasket. Have finally decided I was going to replace the intake manifold all together and put on a new throttle body and rails / injectors. The intake I have has the EGR valve and ports on it but all the new intake manifolds I have seen do not have it. From what I have read, most people are deleting the EGR valve all together? I live in Georgia so my truck is exempt from emissions regardless. If I get a new intake without the EGR valve ports, what do I need to do with the existing tube / EGR valve system?

 

Factory intake? Keep in mind the early intakes used two temp sensors and the later ones only used one. The egr intakes where from 95 and earlier. If you remove the egr tube you need to plug where it connects to the exhaust. The pcm may throw code because you removed the solenoid.

 

Yea so I guess that's kind of my question. Currently has the stock intake that has the ports for the EGR. Looking to get a new intake. All of the new intakes I have seen don't have the ports for the EGR valve and tube. Trying to figure out what I would need to do to plug the tube and just remove the valve all together. Picture for reference below

 

If the manifold doesn't have the ports, then you just need to plug the hole in the exhaust manifold.
