I wouldn't buy a new EVR until I was sure it is bad. See if you can test it first.

You could have had a small peice of carbon preventing the egr from completely closing. When I had this problem I took mine off to make sure it was closing all the way. That's when I found the bad gasket between the egr and the sensor.
Even if the light does come on you don't want to go buying anything until you've made sure the egr is opening and closing correctly. I will add that egr can be a little testy getting off with it's location.

well it doesnt help that my truck SAT for 8 months last year due to a spark plug breaking off in the head
I'm betting it was just stuck, but yeah I will confirm everything before buying, this is where having a second vehicle is VERY nice

I think I figured it out
when they put the intake back in the truck they didnt attach the ground strap, I put it back on last night and it seems to have made a difference
we'll see if the code comes back
