Mine has a secondary bypass is there anyway I can use one from the later models without it and run the vacuum line to another location?

there is also a adapter plate you can use as well but honestly just stick a cap on it or put a bolt in the hose or a screw or a nail if you're that anal about the factory equipment stuff

Check ebay and visually compare what vendors have on offer - be warned, some of the prices are 'optimistic' :rolleyes:

there is one on Ebay for the 2.4, but it may not work and doesn't look like the dual vacuum one you need for California...

I may have one off a 79' somewhere in my parts I saved. its worth noting that the EGR valves are weird on these trucks in that there are two different size mounting patterns that look identical in pictures when looking for a gasket but they are different sizes, I went to buy a gasket for my 87' 2.6l and the gasket looked identical on the screen but when I got the gasket it was shrunken down in size so I had to use a different gasket possibly from an older truck but I can't say for sure now

the 2.0 EGR is smaller than the 2.6 EGR - that may be the issue with the different gaskets.

No way if you do I will deffinately buy it! And mine the passages in the egr are eaten away like something sat in there like seafoam and chewed the metal
