The title says it all. I just bought this pickup, and I can't an EGR Valve. Where I live we have to go through emissions, but I bought the truck from a neighboring county where they don't. The catalytic converter has been removed and other emissions stuff. I'm in the process of replacing the parts so it will pass. I called one parts place about the EGR Valve and they said it didn't have one. I called another and they said it did, but they didn't have it in stock, I went to Amazon and found an EGR Transducer and an EGR Solenoid. I called the parts store back and they said the solenoid is the EGR Valve. I have a diagram from a Haynes repair manual that should include the EGR valve, but it's not in the diagram. There isn't an EGR transducer or an EGR solenoid either. So Yeah or Nay on an EGR Valve for a 2nd gen 1997 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 Standard shift.

 

I don't think your truck had one. They went away in 96, and the advent of OBDII. If there was supposed to be one, I would be on the back of the intake manifold, near the distributor, and there would be a steel line coming from the passenger exhaust manifold, to the back of the intake base.

 

Ok I think you maybe right, but I'm, getting a bunch of different answer. I'm a little lost. I think I'm going to just wing and hope it passes emissions.

 

My 98 does not have egr.

 

I believe the 1997 through 1999 are basically the same.

 

97 will not have EGR. If you got one of the last EGR manifolds, it may have a boss next to the distributor with a plate over it.

 

Thanks for the help. I think the consensus is no EGR. That's what I'm going to roll with.
