Now, a buddy needs an engine for his 2004 3/4 ton Dodge. Problem is...the 2004 used an EGR valve on the right cylinder head, where as the 2003 does NOT have an EGR and the head is not drilled thru to the exhaust port for the EGR. I'm wondering what would happen if we use the 2003 engine in the 2004 truck, mount the EGR valve on the face of the head and have it all hooked up to the vacuum and electrical. Wold the PCM throw an EGR code and turn on the CEL? Or would the system still think that an EGR is hooked up?
