Default EGR for 2005 1500 SLT 5.7

I went to replace my EGR valve today and the new one has a smaller opening than the old one. Will this affect anything, or should I take the new one back and get a different one?

We replaced the EGR in my 06 ram last year and it fit perfectly. I would assume it is supposed to.

Won't hurt. Put it on and make sure with the gasket.

After replacing the EGR, the PCV and cleaning the TB do you reset the computer even if there weren't any codes before doing all that?

You dont have to but IMO it is a good practice to do. It resets a lot of things like your fuel trims which make it relearn how you drive and could possibly help your mileage
