Missing EGR System from 2002 5.3?

[farmtruc]

Almost all '02 trucks don't have an EGR.
Don't worry about putting one on or if it was missing; there won't be an issue finding a calibration that didn't come with EGR.

WOW, nice 2 door. I plan to do the same exact thing to my 98 2 door BUT I have 4x4 that I somehow need to contend with and wire up. Not sure of I want to keep the 135K miles stock transmission or use the matching 60e from the donor truck. Im still researching..

the newer trans is ideally a better choice. They got better as new updates came out.
135k miles is a long life for a 60e. Put that new LS engine in there and that older trans may not like the power.

I just need to figure out of my oem transfer case will bolt up and work with the newer GEN3 style 60 then. I thought I read somewhere the output shaft had a different spline count. I could be wrong. Running a newer trans would most likely make the wiring a bit easier for that area of the swap too.
