When you replaced the tank was it rusted?
You seem to be doing the right things so multiple issues are possible.
Yes. There was a decent amount of rust in the tank

Having similar issues with my truck.... Power just dropped off, milage has dropped too. If erg is stuck open, would it throw any codes? Merry Christmas

I'm not sure about codes. Maybe it would give lean codes which I have, both banks.

Probably not, -the truck wouldn't run with the EGR open.

Bring this up again. Anyone have any other ideas? I ran an ohms test on all injectors and got 15 on all. Does this mean they are good or is there more to it?
