finally cut a piece of checker plate to gasket size drilled holes gasket and silicon
plugged vaccuum line and on the road no wonder its a discontinued part !!
 
Pickseed, I commend you for putting the tree's health in front of your own finanaces. A lot of people eliminate the egr system simply because it's costs more money in parts, fuel, less power, and overall a shorter engine life with more frequently cracked heads and quicker worn valves. Always promote the environmental cause, I say.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drive my Hummer into the wilderness where I will be climbing rock faces to help compact them into the soil ensuring they don't fly off into space, and making a few bushes lower profile to help keep the wind from uprooting them. Remember to hug a tree this month- my arms don't reach all the way around, so I use my undercarriage protection.
