put a 1k resistor in it today. bent the resistor stems to fold up into the disconnector pieces then wrapped them both in electrical tape to keep them from touching each other. think this sounds sufficient??

I have now ben running for about 5 months, all kinds of weather from -48*C to +20*C. 4.7k resistor, NO CEL. Truck is running great!
Just an update!!
Kupp, I got the 4.7k just like you have. I got this CEL reading P0402 2-3 times. have any ideas as to why thats happening? Ebag said go with a lower resistor 1k, so I've got that in there now.
Need some help with this. A few weeks ago the vacum hose from the egr to the vsv(?) split causing a nasty noise. When trying to remove it the bottom nipple of the vsv broke off.
I thought to heck with the EGR the truck is running better without it. I pulled the vacum hoses as directed in this thread but there is still flow thru the EGR. Is this normal? When the HVAC is on outside air it's picking up the exhaust fumes from the still flowing EGR valve and it's getting annoying.
So all I need to do is block the vacuum from getting to the EGR valve? Theory being, my ECU has no was to tell whether it is active or not?
Did you remove the vacuum hoses completely?
If you do that then you need to plug up the EGR modulator (with something like JB weld) so that it's blocked and won't open the EGR valve.
Did I do this right? If someone could bring this down to barney level, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
It looks like I have successfully disabled (or tricked) the temperature sensor. As far as the vacuum lines are concerned, does this look right? Thanks!
So far, no P0401's or P0402's or any other CEL's. Gas mileage has improved, but this can't be attributed to this mod because I did way too many other modifications at the time (clean injectors, new FPR, full length roof rack removal, Aisin hubs, front driveline removal etc).
what resistor did you end up using? 4.7k ohm or 1k ohm?
